It is not given to me to start a threads on politics, I don't believe I have ever contributed to one either.
However I cannot let pass the comment from a conservative councillor currently skiing in the USA who wants the homeless and rough sleepers cleared from the streets of
Windsor before the wedding in May.
God forbid that visitors here to see an obscene and ostentatious picture of wealth and privelage should be confronted by the "have nots" of our society.

The problem you have Day with reading my posts properly. I quite clearly said what was true - no condemnation at the time of my posting but fainting at the use of ffs.if you think that means I was saying people were racist, well ffs. My point was well made - abs posts were judged acceptable and my fffs wasn’t and none on the right was engaging with the content of the texts. It’s good that some of you now are.

Agreed, whitewave.

whitewave Sun 14-Jan-18 18:01:31

annie must never stop fighting their filth though.

durhamjen Sun 14-Jan-18 18:00:38

I think I have probably sworn three or four times all the time I have been on Gransnet, Day6.
It's a lot windier than that up here.

whitewave Sun 14-Jan-18 18:00:11

I think that mary is right in her comment

Anniebach Sun 14-Jan-18 17:59:53

Racists have come out of the rotten woodwork whitewave, there has always been racists and sadly always will be. The internet makes it easier for them to voice their filth

maryeliza54 Sun 14-Jan-18 17:59:05

UKIP really can’t know which way is up at the moment can they? The wonderful tension between being a racist and a royalist and then pretending to care about marital fidelity.

durhamjen Sun 14-Jan-18 17:58:11

Brexit, where people feel they have permission to say they dislike immigration of any sort.

whitewave Sun 14-Jan-18 17:57:47

I think the wallies that are UKIP pose a singular threat to the U.K.

"Amazing isn’t it the number of right wingers on here NOT complaing about the great leader’s girlfriend’s texts. I expect they are hunting out the smelling salts after my use of ffs."

What a nasty post maryeliza 54 comparing right wingers who write here, most whom tend to be level headed, fair and kind and only slightly right of centre, with that stupid UKIP creature who is an out and out racist. I cannot remember any member of GN ever writing a racist post. It would quite rightly be removed. A nasty smear, but not totally unexpected from you.

As for 'ffs' you are very honoured to have the patronage of DJ who obviously blows with the wind as far as swearing is concerned. When I used it I was roundly condemned for using bad language. However, I am not one of her coterie so no surprises there.

Double standards or wot?

whitewave Sun 14-Jan-18 17:55:37

Take this country back say 30 years and the sort of views being expressed by UKIP simply would never be heard on mainstream media or if it was, it made a small paragraph.

What on earth is happening to this country?

durhamjen Sun 14-Jan-18 17:49:20

Apparently Ukip's NEC is still deciding whether to keep Bolton as leader after his affair with her was announced.
They were going to decide tomorrow.
What timing!

maryeliza54 Sun 14-Jan-18 17:49:05

And the fact he hasn’t condemned it. Her comments are not at all unbelievable sadly - just look at all the BTL comments on online news sites and read up on the abuse that Diane Abbot regularly receives. And Obama. And that dreadful comment about Michelle that I won’t dignify with repeating.

Bridgeit Sun 14-Jan-18 17:43:45

Do you think some people have forgotten that Briton was at one time in history land joined to Europe, ( no need for a referendum if the sea had been a little kinder ! ) and that all humans originated from Asia? Unbelievable that the Ukip leader's girlfriend could make such a comment ,can't think which is worse the fact that she thinks it, or the fact that she shared it !

maryeliza54 Sun 14-Jan-18 17:39:47

I couldn’t give a flying fig about whoever is the next UKIP leader - they are all cut from the same lying, cheating , hypocritical and racist cloth - NH fits the profile perfectly

Anniebach Sun 14-Jan-18 17:36:39

Don't get too excited about a new leader for UKIP , we could end up with the ghastly Neil Hamilton on the national news, bad enough he gets on the Welsh News

durhamjen Sun 14-Jan-18 17:35:32

They could do with a more stable leadership, though.

mcem Sun 14-Jan-18 17:34:47

Sorry- made a mistake.
The main report on the subject started 1 min into the programme while the preceding headline was read at 10 seconds in - item 2 after Warboys!

maryeliza54 Sun 14-Jan-18 17:34:24

My guess is that most UKippers probably agree with her

maryeliza54 Sun 14-Jan-18 17:33:37

The most right wing political groups eg Britain First are extremely royalist and racist.

durhamjen Sun 14-Jan-18 17:33:14

I bet ukippers are feeling like right wallies today.

Anniebach Sun 14-Jan-18 17:33:06

Thank you Wilma, I thought use of the n word was illegal , but it isn't , pity, she could have been arrested and charged

maryeliza54 Sun 14-Jan-18 17:32:12

Amazing isn’t it the number of right wingers on here NOT complaing about the great leader’s girlfriend’s texts. I expect they are hunting out the smelling salts after my use of ffs.

durhamjen Sun 14-Jan-18 17:31:18

I bet Bolton's wife has been smiling all day. It's only ten days since Bolton admitted to being with Marney.

mcem Sun 14-Jan-18 17:26:40

Well there's offensive and OFFENSIVE (shouted from high horse!)
Sorry the ffs doesn't compare with 'her seed tainting the Royal family.'
