Cabinet chaos?

Why is this turning into another “let’s bash Jeremy Corbyn ” thread? I know he,s led a rubbish opposition , but the government is collapsing around our ears, (not caused by JC- he isn’t leading any revolution- it’s the Toris own in- fighting) the country is divided, we should be more worried about the right wing nationalists, it’ll be Nigel Farage in a black shirt as PM at this rate.

Sorry crystal but I see very little evidence of another JC bashing thread. One poster sticks firmly to her view and she's entitled to do that.
Another poster or two defend him.
I think that, today of all days, anyone (and everyone?) in the HoC is likely to be criticised!

Yes, MaryE I rather think that my posts are informed and your replies simply prove it.

Your chutzpah, lemon is utterly breathtaking.

'Informed'

Shall we move on?

We'd have moved on a lot faster if you hadn't leapt in to attack maryeliza. Can you never resist the urge to have a go at people you don't care for?

petra please tell me what you mean?

Oldbatty
No point wasting my time.
You obviously live in a different universe to me. You are someone who thinks this country is vunrable to attack ( from who, alians?)

yes it'll be alians what wil do it.

You do make me laugh Maizie... saying ‘youcan never resist the urge to have a go at people you don’t care for’
You mean...as you have just done! How ironic!
At least I manage not to tell you and other posters to Stfu though, eh?

mcem..... I will just refer you to my answer to Maizie
Do you think that sort of language aimed at another poster is quite alright?
What we say about politicians is one thing, and what we say,
As in swearing on GN at a poster you don’t agree with is another.
It shows lack of a coherent arguement in any case.

Now shall we move on?!

mcem
You do know what stfu stands for, don't you?
If you think that's perfectly acceptable language to use.....well.

Yes I certainly do. The poster is clearly fairly irate but did temper her language by using a well-known acronym.
Don't pretend it's the first time you've seen it on GN but please do try diversionary tactics to avoid the argument in hand.
Should we be trying harder to be "nice".
I will just refer you to my post elsewhere about being " nice"!!!
Vigorous language is not used by all of us but at times proves more effective than the pusillanimous and apparently ubiquitous "nice"!

Petra it seems that mcem is quite ok with it, as long as it’s an acronym, and it’s not directed at her but with somebody she doesn’t agree with.
Am all for robust comments, would be too bland without them, but I prefer not to swear at posters.
Other views are available!

One of your more open-minded and magnanimous posts!
Well done. Nice of you!

Well, it’s National Kindness Day this week ( as we discussed elsewhere) so why not.

I didn’t know what stfu stood for but as Maizie was supporting maryeliza who often uses the f word I assume the f word is part of stfu .

Yes Annie...It’s Shut The F... Up, charming eh?

Charming ? ?. for me vulgar and showing off

Ooooh when a relative told me he was working at the FO I thought he meant the foreign office , silly me ?

Same thing Annie? .

Using an acronym to swear at a poster who’s launched a personal attack is perfectly acceptable - here’s some pearls to clutch snowflake. You’re welcome

Did I hit a nerve MaryE perhaps.
?
Annie

How very kind of you ME.
I'm sure the snowflakes think it's awfully nice!
Vulgarity and offensiveness take many forms.
Sometimes it's how something is said and sometimes it's what is being said.
Language has to achieve its desired effect and although I don't advocate swearing, here or in RL, I believe there are times when, regretfully, it can be effective enough to make a point.

Would you like to get your thread back on track now....I have tried, twice.
Surprises all round this evening, as everybody thought T May would either be resigning or possibly calling for an election, the journalists looked deflated!

I do believe you were the one who used diversionary tactics - complaining about use of language which wasn't nice!
Besides, it isn't my thread. I wouldn't be so presumptuous!

If the choice is being a snowflake or a coarse woman, than snowflake every time please ?
