Have we always had so many messages?

I have read bedtime stories to my own children, DGC, Niece, nephew, and their children,other people's children when I've been babysitting and a whole class in a Nursery. That may be why I did not see anything wrong with the remark about Mrs T. I read it as indicating that she had no close friends or family to listen to her so had to share her thoughts with the rest of us.

Silly me, to miss the 'lowest, bitchiest comment' ever, as yet again what might have been an interesting GN thread turns into the same old, same old series of personal attacks on other posters.

You're not wrong Granny23

Perhaps I should explain why I feel that the comment "She (May) has no one else to read bedtime stories to", is so abhorrent to me. We have no idea whether TM wanted children and couldn't, because of her serious health problems. But having personal experience of childlessness, and the huge, all encompassing sadness that it brings, I know the yearning of wanting a child to read a story to. And it would have broken my heart to read that someone was using that loss to score a cheap political point. But no matter what; it seems a low blow, to me, to correlate the woman's politics with her having no children to read a bedtime story to. I just cannot see what her personal life/tragedies, has to do with what she has done politically.

Well said Chewbacca, & so sorry to read of your sadness . Hopefully as posters we will all think a bit harder about the affect our opinions may have on others, myself included. I am sure it's partially to do with being anonymous ( as per the thread I started)
