The Nasty Labour Party - what they really stand for.

“Being”

You win MaizieD !

Thanks Iam64, yes, Grandad's post was unpleasant but quite astonishing and absolutely ridiculous too.
And I was five when Ernest Bevin died. I am sure he was very earnest too.

I didn't even have a flag until 1953 - a Union Jack to wave on Coronation Day.

“Maybe get some real information before spouting off”

This was a reply to the OP

Waving back to Iam.

trisher, “ you win Maizie” ? win what?

Spelling Bee?

Snap Annie it's a game you know.

I think it’s either one upmanship Annie or a blind refusal to see unpleasant posts from other left wing posters.

If I want to play a game then scrabble for me .

Refusal to admit lemon

Hypocrites,liars and supporters of dodgy regimes? Sure we're not talking TORY ? Look at the tories in depth and find out the people they have supported in the past .Anyone who believes the treatment of the Palestinians is right is no better than the Nazi's .Well we know the Tories are right of Attila the Hun sh thats about right ! I'm NOT a labour supporter but really the hypocrisy of tories telling us how awful ANYONE else is is hard to accept.Just listen to that wonderful "christian" woman Mrs May who has destroyed the lives of the poor ,the sick the elderly and vulnerable...who has MORE children in poverty and more suicides and deaths of people due to DWP and then there's the DUP ,what can one say!!! Maybe get some REAL information about hypocrisy before spouting off about the opposition when your own bunch of charlatans could win prizes for it .

Paddyann's post (just to save flicking backwards and forwards)

How can it possibly be a response to the OP? The OP didn't spout off about anything. Just posted the Liddle stuff, said she agreed with it, and more or less left it there

So it wasn’t a response to the OP? Wrong thread ?

Possibly, especially as the poster says she is not a Labour supporter.
But we knew that anyway.

The OP was not a pro-Tory rant by the OP or in any way encouraging people to vote Tory; it was just a reference to what a journalist said on QT, all of which could be checked out in fact, if not already common knowledge. It could have been taken further and discussed rationally but the first post did not do that.

^ It could have been taken further and discussed rationally but the first post did not do that.^

That's as maybe but Paddyann did not attack anyone personally and did not deserve to be personally attacked in subsequent posts.

Saying someone is spouting is attacking

So Paddyann was replying to Rod Liddle ?

I think it was a case of "Whataboutery"

Surprising what you learn on GN

Yes, it sounds as if paddyann was responding to Rod Liddle. I wonder if he read her post?

ROD - are you listening?

Liddle use to be a speech writer and researcher for the Labour Party, he is a party member , suspended

hear, hear Natasha. I respect the decision from GN to be really hands off with moderating - and yet- when a conversation starts with such an unpleasant title, and the word 'nasty' aimed at a group of people- it is not easy to keep it friendly- as it has started all wrong from the beginning.

On the one and only other Forum I am on - a friendly mod would have sent a pm saying 'title changed to avoid getting on the wrong foot' or similar.

So, that’s you told, Natasha
In fact jura if a mod changed the title then that would be Big Brother style ( 1984, not the gormless tv show.)

Oh dear - reading so quickly I got my Bevan's mixed up
Apologies. No apologies though for commenting on the rather unpleasant comments to Jalima.

jura, you want the title ‘The Nasty Young Conservatives ‘ change ?

Yes
