The Last Days of Mrs May?

Blasted right-wing predictive text!

Mustn’t...

it smacks of ‘the workers!’

It smacks of fascism....

So saying ‘People’s’ something smacks of fascism?
Bit weird, as the Left use that phrase all the time.

In fact using the prefix ‘the People’s’ is a Communist phrase.

Nothing to do with ‘the working class’ more to do with comedy writers ( Tracey Breaks The News) where in the allotment scenes, McDonnell and Corbyn put their hands on their hearts and say ‘the workers!’

For somebody who thinks none of us lefties have any idea what the working class are like and wouldn't like them if we did lemon, you seem to be a bit confused about them.Are you suggesting "People" is in some way a derogatory term? Or are you prejudiced against workers in some way? I thought it was generally agreed that we are all workers now.

Sense of humour bypass trisher .....a condition suffered by many far lefties.

lemon you are so wrong The 1832 Reform act was The Representation of the People Act and in 1909 the H of Lords passed a "People's Budget". Historically the term is much older than communism

Noting wrong with my sense of humour I just don't like bad jokes from uninformed people.

It may well be older ( who cares?) but in Communist countries is used a great deal, China in particular.
The left seems to use it here too, People’s Marches etc.

Bad jokes? Blame Tracey Ullman then, but it was actually very very funny.

I think that Gnet should have a dedicated Comedy forum.... poor lemon's jokes fall so very flat on Politics...

Maizie she makes me LOL!

Only with certain posters MaizieD !

If you haven’t seem Tracey Breaks The News yet, then you really should.

OldMeg LOL isn’t used anymore.

Do any of you not believe what Corbyn says? As you are so dismissive of niggly in believing politicians?

Oh no! Now I’m completely cut up not being on trend ?

Seriously though Corbyn is one of the few politicians I do believe.

I thought he might be

No, if you were addressing my post the correct reply would be ‘I thought you’d believe that’

You should have been answering my belief in Corbyn not what ‘he might be’.

Just pointing that out. Can’t help the pendant in me.

Actually the annoying phrase The People's Vote is up there with Taking back Control and The People have spoken and you are wrong lemon, they are not used by lefties ( another REALLY irritating word) but by every platitudinous politician that appears on QT or on Andrew Marr or whatever. They use these irritating phrases to pretend, to try to convince the electorate that they really do take notice. This is politicians, political pundits and journalists of all persuasions by the way. Just watch, don't make assumptions.

As you are so dismissive of niggly in believing politicians?

It's nellie who keeps proclaiming that she doesn't believe what anyone says... Then suddenly, David Cameron's word is gospel (thought only, unfortunately, only the 'once in a lifetime' rhetoric; not the 'we should remain in the EU stuff.. )

The pendant OldMeg or the pedant?
