Call off the dogs Corbyn

MawBroon perhaps instead of posting irrelevant Charles Dodgson poetry, you could think of apologising for the language you used (even if it was a repost) which leaves the ball firmly in GD1943's court. Although I suspect that, like all the others, you are just enjoying your indignation.
Annie I don't need to build on-line friendships I have enough real life ones.

Aw trisher, I am so enjoying it develope, don’t be bashful, out of character

You know nothing of my character Annie unlike some I keep my personal details close to me and don't emote all over threads.

Better than Twitter or Facebook? a compliment indeed, but why do you keep telling us this when we've made it quite clear that we don't care, be our guest, laugh away, it's of supreme disinterest to most of us!!!! Or is there a hidden agenda here that you are trying to threaten us with? Why would you do that I wonder?!! All sounds very strange and something about you doesn't ring quite true.

Every time we post we show something of who we are

You may know my political beliefs and a little of my occupations Annie but you know nothing about my personal life. I don't feel the need to elicit support by posting such details.

Is this a post about a post/thread about a thread Trisher?
If so, you are on thin ice.
However, to give you the benefit of the doubt you could do worse than glance at my post of Thursday 13/9 at 18.02

No such apology has yet to be seen for MaryEliza’s repeated use of the “f” word, or for Grandad’s turds
(Now there’s an unpleasant thought)

I know that trisher, but people’s characters show through even if talking about the weather

I didn't start it MawBroon perhaps you should ask Annie why she feels the need to create a relationship which doesn't exist to counter my posts I have always hated women who feel that the only possible reason for a woman's opinion is because she has/wants a relationship with a man. It's even lower than swearing.

If one’s work calls for them to deal with sewage I suppose it’s natural to think of turds .

“As we think so we are”

trisher there is no need to keep protesting , just be happy with your choices

I am not saying you started anything Trisher
You said why didn’t I apologise, I said I had. Agreed?
What do you want now?
If you have something to say to Anniebach say it to her not me.
Frankly I really don’t see where this is meant to lead.

No Maizie, we just have moral standards, sadly missing in some.

Since when did using language regarded by some as 'coarse' become 'immoral', Ab?

I've always associated 'morality' with things such as not stealing, cheating or lying. You know, those values which underpin a decent and caring society.

Language that's been in daily use by people for hundreds of years is morality neutral in my book.

I'd agree that expletives used excessively in place of well expressed ideas can be very boring, or, a sad indication of lack of literary skills. But we can hardly accuse Grandad of excessive use of expletives (I don't recall him using any) or lack of literary skills, can we? He always seems quite excessively eloquent to me.

Pearlclutchers!!! Wish I'd thought of that

I'm afraid I nicked it from Mumsnet, trisher. But it's so perfect...

“Pearlclutchers” is a term which has kicked around GN too for quite some time.

It has lead to an end of the thread Maw

MawBroon I have looked back at my thread history and the first post I have for 13/09 is the one I made at 18.06. The one before that is POGs on 12/09. Now I think this is very odd because I know I was out all day and didn't post till the evening but I'm sure some were debating during the day. Does anyone know how this could happen?
I accept that you apologised but really I hadn't seen it. I apologise if this caused you distress.

Really Maizie? I certaintly agree with ’excessively’

MawBroon Thu 13-Sep-18 18:02:50
May I add that the “f” word would not normally feature in my vocabulary, certainly not on GN so I apologise unreservedly to anybody I have offended by using it, apart from MaryEliza who is a) unlikely to be offended and b) sat up and asked for it
You may have been looking in the wrong place
(The Serena Williams thread) which makes me wonder whether you in fact read it or only had Grandad’s word for it

Oh the far lefties ( all three of them) on this thread are doing their level best to get this thread stopped.After that we can start another though, so maybe they shouldn’t bother.
Maryeliza started the pearl clutching phrase fully two years ago on here ( lifted from Mumsnet) it’s hardly new, and certainly not created by trisher.
I expect Grandad43 is enjoying you two ladies defending him, probably revelling in the attention.

OMG some of you have narrow lives and are far too involved in this whole thing. Bad language exists some people use it, some don't. I don't trawl through threads looking for it, nor am I offended by either a fuck or a turd. If you are say so and move on but stop going on about it. This who said what and when belongs in the playground not on an adult thread. Frankly I don't care if I read it or heard about it it's a non-event.

I don't want the thread stopped. I would like some proper debate on a political level but that ain't gonna happen on GN any time soon.

So you always say trisher ( to anyone who disagrees with you) and who are you to say who leads a narrow life come to that.
I wouldn’t want to ally myself to Grandad43 for all the tea in China, but you have done which says a lot about you.

trisher, yes you want a political debate but everyone is expected to agree with you, if they don’t in comes the far left and it kicks off,

You may be use to being called a turd, fair enough, but you demand everyone accepts the same,if they do not in you come mocking them. This is your idea of debate .

Bad language exists some people use it, some don't. I don't trawl through threads looking for it, nor am I offended by either a fuck or a turd. If you are say so and move on but stop going on about it. This who said what and when belongs in the playground not on an adult thread
Then would you kindly stop banging on about what I may or may not have said?
Or indeed spuriously demanding apologies?

No one has ever answered any political question I have posted lemon but I will try again
I believe in the public ownership of the railways and utilities and that they should be run on a not for profit basis, because the mark of a civilised society is that it provides water and fuel to everyone at a reasonable cost and without people making profits from them.
I want an NHS which is free for everyone and provides a quality service for all regardless of ability to pay.
I want a benefit service that provides proper support for those who need it and doesn't leave people unable to get money for weeks.
I want a programme of social housing that ensures that people are properly housed and doesn't result in sink estates and areas where public servants can't afford to live.
I want private rents controlled for the same reason.
I want a proper investigation into the farce that is student loans and the possibile scrapping of them if (as I suspect) they are costing more to administer than is collected.
I want proper investment in education and the funding of Academies carefully looked at.
There that'll do for now-so anyone want to challenge my "far left' views?
