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

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!!

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.

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?

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?

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.

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?

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

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

nigglynellie Sun 16-Sept-18 09:29:12

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

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

John MacDonald on radio 4 AGAIN

Anniebach Sun 16-Sept-18 09:01:19

Good grief Maw ?

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

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 Sat 15-Sept-18 22:39:40

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

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

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

Anniebach Sat 15-Sept-18 22:02:19

“ it seems I touched a nerve “ !

This says all about that poster

Apologies to all other posters

Anniebach Sat 15-Sept-18 22:00:16

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.

Grandad1943 Sat 15-Sept-18 21:39:36

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.

Anniebach Sat 15-Sept-18 21:12:27

MacDonald just given another interview

trisher Sat 15-Sept-18 21:10:30

Good post Grandad1943
Can I add and Annie constantly posts about the "bullying" from Momentum whilst totally denying that anyone was bullied by the Blair administration. When an unelected Downing Street press officer terrorised Labour MPs with threats and silenced any dissenters. He did so very effectively and one of the reasons there was no reporting of any of the dissension in the LP under Blair was that Campbell also had the media under control.

Anniebach Sat 15-Sept-18 21:06:19

Not forgetting the strikes which brought down a labour government, what a proud record, and I am despised !

Anniebach Sat 15-Sept-18 21:03:02

One good thing, the number of union members is dropping.

Anniebach Sat 15-Sept-18 21:01:06

1966? , so you were part of the ‘ keep Roben in his job brigade ? Nothing more to say to you, be proud you kept a Lord in his job when the enquiry into the deaths of 144 people, 128 children said Roben had given misleading evidence . Several miners took their lives because of this.
