Couldn’t resist it eazybee,

Anniebach, you are wicked, (she said admiringly): vandalising Corbyn's carrots indeed!
Although I know for a fact, because I read it in the Telegraph, that Alan Titchmarsh would like to take his secateurs to Corbyn's................roses.

Awful thing to happen to anyone. But why are you all attacking each other? Particularly Trisher - I couldn't see anything wrong with what she put! I assumed she was thinking how awful for the maid too, not being patronising.

Bookmarks socialist bookshop in Bloomsbury was invaded this week by a group of people who destroyed books and knocked over displays while chanting far right slogans.

Accepted. Pax Romana
Hope the evening is better

off for a now with friends

Apologies Jalima I’m having a particularly trying day.

Peace x

Lemon ?

eazybee. yes, exactly ( your post 17.41.00)

Seems his crimes are he wears suits not Lycra, doesn’t agree with abortion, is wealthy, is 100% for leaving Europe and has a nanny.

What is particularly awful about this is that it was done to a man who has only ever conducted himself in a calm, polite dignified manner even when confronted by ignorant Leftist yobs.

I don't totally agree with his views on abortion but I respect his right to hold and express those views.

Of course he is a Tory, a well educated man who speaks properly, so sadly he is always going to be a target for mindless thugs.

I would be sympathetic if vandals dug up corbyns carrots in his allotment

Oh huge apologies Jalima it was you who misread my post and now I’m getting berated by you because you did so? You assumed the ‘politics of hate’ in the US started with Trump? Not my fault you are misinformed.

Goodness me, what a ridiculous post. I wasn't berating you at all OldMeg, in fact I thought your original post was good (even if apparently unclear as it turns out). I was merely explaining that Anniebach followed my misunderstanding with her post about Trump.

No matter what anyone's politics, this is a horrible thing to happen.

'loathsome man; awful man; ghastly views;conniving, self-promoting manipulator.'
In other words, his views don't accord with yours.

I do feel sympathy for anyone who has had their home violated as JRM has, and I think it was a despicable thing to do, but still uncomfortable with the idea that this awful man with his ghastly views will be able to command sympathy from people. Hard to explain, but I used to find him mildly amusing, eccentric, a bit like Boris J, but now I find them both conniving, self promoting manipulators. Still wrong to vandalise his house though.

I think things will get a lot more violent. There have never been so many divisions in society and they run so deep.

True Paddyann, but I feel sorry for anyone who has their home targeted

at least it was only things Annie it could have been much worse.Things can be replaced .

Gill, surely anyone who has that done to their home deserves sympathy

Good point!

This makes me angry, not least because this loathsome man is now getting sympathy. So the attack has backfired somewhat.

Oh huge apologies Jalima it was you who misread my post and now I’m getting berated by you because you did so? You assumed the ‘politics of hate’ in the US started with Trump? Not my fault you are misinformed.

Far better had you said ‘sorry I made a silly mistake, but can I please point out it was me and not Anniebach’ but that was obviously never going to happen.

Annie I apologise for my mistake. I realise now that Jalima was the first and you merely perpetuating the mistake.

Bad luck OldMeg, better luck next time ?

So it might pay some to read what I actually wrote than what they thought I wrote.

Perhaps you missed my post too, OldMeg

In fact, OldMeg, it was me who mentioned Trump first in relation to your post of Tue 07-Aug-18 10:43:44 , not Anniebach. It wasn't at all clear from your post about when you thought this type of political hatred had migrated across the Atlantic. Certainly, if emanating from the time of JFK, it has taken its time over here to escalate into the vile manifestations we're now witnessing in the UK.

I then thought that Anniebach was replying to my post of Tue 07-Aug-18 12:03:20 rather than yours.

Whatever is causing this, it needs to be stamped out. As paddyann said, whatever anyone thinks of his politics or anyone's politics come to that) to attack the family home where his wife and children may have been is just not on. More than that, vile and nasty.

Whose...
