Anniebach, states after my above posts that she has "nothing more to say to me". Then Annie makes two further posts directed directly at me on a totally unrelated matter to this thread. Her thread as the opening poster incidentally.

It seems I touched a nerve.

For some strange reason , what happen in my village that day was a little upsetting, two months before I was bridesmaid in the Welsh Baptist Chapel in the village I had my photograph taken with 14 children, the brides Sunday School class , their little bodies were taken to that chapel .

That day damaged my life . The unions saved the man who could have saved 144 lives.

These deaths are unrelated to the thread title, so is yet another epistle on Unions.

“ it seems I touched a nerve “ !

This says all about that poster

Apologies to all other posters

Grandad1943 Sat 15-Sept-18 22:11:12

Anniebach, your above posts are now at this time (22:07-15/09/18) just a rant and totally irrelevant to the title and discussion of this thread

Grandad1943 Sat 15-Sept-18 22:15:34

If you wish anniebach to open a thread in regard to the Aberfan disaster i would join that topic in what limited knowledge i have have

Anniebach Sat 15-Sept-18 22:39:40

Sadiq Khan has come out in support for a second vote on brexit

paddyann Sat 15-Sept-18 23:38:21

Corbyn was just a boy back then Anniebach Aberfan and the cause and aftermath were not of his making .

Anniebach Sun 16-Sept-18 08:39:24

Who said he was Paddyann, a poster brought up Unions from 1966 and I referred to unions dirty tricks in 1966/1967.

Good grief Maw ?

Anniebach Sun 16-Sept-18 09:21:34

John MacDonald on radio 4 AGAIN

Grandad tbh I can't understand why someone of your superior intellectual talents bothers to post on a thread full of, according to you, virtually illiterate, unemployable old grannies! What a waste of time and irritation it must be for you when you can, I'd have thought, have much more satisfying intelligent conversations elsewhere.
As you say annie -Good grief!!!! shock

nigglynellie Sun 16-Sept-18 09:30:35

He's after the 'big job' annie!! Watch this space!

Grandad1943 Sun 16-Sept-18 09:49:22

nigglynellie, anniebach, your posts on this thread have become senseless rants. My post@ 20:51 yesterday laid out the structures and constitution of the Labour movement including the Labour party.

As anyone on this forum can witness, anniebach then went into a rant in regard to a matter totally unrelated to the discussion for reasons I do not know why.

Perhaps anniebach did not know the structures and constitution of the Labour party prior to my post, which leaves one wondering?

Anniebach Sun 16-Sept-18 09:53:50

He certainly is niggly.

I do understand why he gives all the interviews, he wouldn’t hide behind a glass door or bring out a calculator to work out costings in a tv interview as his leader did.

MawBroon Sun 16-Sept-18 09:59:21

Oh dear
*nigglynellie, anniebach* your posts on this thread have become senseless rants. My post@ 20:51 yesterday laid out the structures and constitution of the Labour movement including the Labour Party
Perhaps anniebach did not know the structures and constitution of the Labour party .....etc etc etc
Unlikely Grandad How patronising!
Do you think GN members only concern themselves with knitting Shreddies and recipes for marmalade?

trisher Sun 16-Sept-18 10:12:28

Well MawBroon unfortunately (and as someone who has championed the cause of women's rights everywhere) I think the standard of debate seems to indicate that. It would be nice if someone could actually post something to combat or challenge Grandad's posts on a political level, but all that seems to be given are long rants about Corbyn, or irrelevant fact about a variety of unrelated events. Instead of criticising and name calling how about challenging by actually posting something really political?

MawBroon Sun 16-Sept-18 10:14:24

Is that aimed at me?
(The name calling etc?)
If not, I am hardly in a position to tell somebody else what to do.

nigglynellie Sun 16-Sept-18 10:14:58

Again Grandad it's a mystery why you bother yourself with us intellectually barren old Grannies to the point of your own hysteria?! Perhaps you're trying to convert us to left wing politics? If so, you must realise that it's a forlorn hope and a complete waste of your time! Perhaps you're not quite who you say you are and just enjoy annoying and upsetting other people? Who knows!!

Anniebach Sun 16-Sept-18 10:16:30

You are being unfair to yourself Trisher, you are very vocal in the debates, I never thought of you as Shreddie knitter

Anniebach Sun 16-Sept-18 10:19:57

How is a post on a political thread about going to work on sewage on a political level, or instructions how to drive a car and post at the same time on a political level?

trisher Sun 16-Sept-18 11:02:01

MawBroon the criticism was you. the name callers are others. Of course most of you will realise I actually share many of Grandad's ideas and beliefs. That doesn't mean that I approve of you thinking you are being preached at. But FGS if all you can come up with as a counter-argument is "You're patronising us, we do more than knit and make marmalade." It's a bit inadequate. I would love to see a real political rant from one of you saying what you do believe in and challenging Grandad's posts on a political level.

Anniebach Sun 16-Sept-18 11:19:09

Then I suggest that poster keep to a political level and not tell a party member they are despised, the party member wasn’t bovered though

MawBroon Sun 16-Sept-18 11:55:28

Mawbroon the criticism was you. the name callers are others
blush Oops didn’t realise criticism is not allowed on GN.
A bit like what Grandad said about the LP then?
shut up whining or get out as I recall.

Weak argument trisher

Anniebach Sun 16-Sept-18 12:06:00

The same poster said Margaret Hodge was despised in the Labour Party, this is so not true.

Note- not ‘I think Margaret Hodge is despised or should be despised ‘ but IS despised
