Not sure if gransnetters outside of London know what our mayor is saying, but he’s going way over the top in my opinion.
He really needs to keep his personal hatred of another politician to himself, especially a politician who’s one of our greatest allies.

What do you think?

"If there’s a right wing bubble there’s presumably also a left wing bubble who are in the thrall of Corbyn and Khan, et al. Plenty of evidence of their shrill denials and delusions here."

As you see, that works both ways doesn't it, crystaltipps?

I should have known, Glammy75 blush

It was wonderful and very emotional to see them gathered on the cruise ship on their way over to Normandy!

POGS if you can produce any posts or threads where people have suported any of those peole can you please do so. If not your entire post is invalid. No one has supported these people. No one has applauded what they are doing, whereas many on here think Trump is a good guy and have said so.

Callistemon - N.V.A is the Normandy Veterans Association.

weird that, me too.

I happen to be of Jewish descent.

EllanVannin Tue 04-Jun-19 22:43:50

I feel the same about the Sadiq Khan's of this world the same way Corbyn feels about the Jews and anti-Semitism Satisfied Elvive ??

" if you lie down with dogs you get fleas."
----

Hmm, that does not only apply to Trump but those I mentioned earlier.:-

" Moduro, Aung San Suu Kyi, Putin, Assad, Hammas, Hezbollah, Erdigan, Iran etc."

The difference is they have actually either carried out murder, caused untold harm to their own people, caused millions to leave their homeland, would throw homosexual off buildings, imprisoned dissenters etc.

Yet Trump in the eyes of many who despise him is the one they hate, often at the same time extolling the virtues of the afore mentioned.

I don't get the stupidity of two supposed grown men wanging off insults to each other..

I don't get politicians who who show a distinct hypocrisy over whom they either ' fete or hate'.

Elvive Tue 04-Jun-19 22:06:18

Yes you are quite right. Eid Mubarak.

Gonegirl Tue 04-Jun-19 21:30:51

You're just after a fight Elvive. Leave EV alone.

Elvive Tue 04-Jun-19 21:23:22

No, I am like a normal person who can't abide racism. But if those are your views fair enough, let's hear them.

Specifically I would like to know the connection between the murder of FL Rigby and Sadiq Khan. How are the two connected in a discussion about Trump and Khan. Thanks.

It would be nice if they started behaving like adults, what chance have we got if they continue to behave as they do? At least the Queen behaved perfectly, that is breeding for you !!

trisher Tue 04-Jun-19 20:59:34

eazybee the person being discussed on this thread is Donald Trump and if you consider he isn't racist, mysoginistic and Islamaphobic you must have been living in a bubble. He is building a wall, he seperated Mexican children from their parents, he has many times made remarks about black people and has attended Klu Klux Klan rallies. His remarks about women are unrepeatable unless you think it's OK to call women "pussy". And at the very start of his Presidency he stopped Muslims entering the US. Now some of the people posting support for him may not be any of these things but the problem is if you lie down with dogs you get fleas.

EllanVannin Tue 04-Jun-19 20:54:06

Why do you want to know, Elvive ? So you and your cohorts can fan the flames ??
Nasty individual. You're like a dog with a bone, aren't you ?

Elvive Tue 04-Jun-19 20:40:26

so EV, please take a moment to enlighten us all to the connection between Fusilier Lee Rigby and Sadiq Khan and why you will never feel the same again?

Oh hang on......the PC Brigade transport has arrived. I will just remove my chip from my shoulder and join them, not forgetting to show my race card on the way out.

Ginny42 Tue 04-Jun-19 20:38:12

Why the interrogation of Glammy57? Her family life is private and she shouldn't have to justify herself to anyone on GN. Are you famous? What sort of a question is that? How rude.

EllanVannin Tue 04-Jun-19 20:15:39

Oh God we are tetchy today aren't we Mawbroonsback ?

This is where I see the other side to some of you " ladies " !

EllanVannin Tue 04-Jun-19 20:13:57

Me ? Full of vitriol ? Glammy57. That'll be the day. If anyone is, it's yourself.

Elvive Tue 04-Jun-19 19:59:18

Oh and what exactly is the link between his murder and Sadiq Khan?

Elvive Tue 04-Jun-19 19:58:38

easy, you were shocked that somebody questioned being so deeply affected by the murder of Lee Rigby that things were never the same again?

Gosh, you are easily shocked. Why would anybody outside of the family be so traumatised that they would feel this way?Although we are not entirely clear what is never the same?

Callistemon Tue 04-Jun-19 19:42:47

We forget things and make little slip-ups.
I just made a big one blush (another thread) - fumble fisted at the moment

Callistemon Tue 04-Jun-19 19:39:57

NVA - what is that please Glammy57

eazybee Tue 04-Jun-19 19:38:21

Trisher, can you not see what you are doing?
You choose to label people as racist, mysoginistic and Islamaphobic, then think that justifies your intolerance of them.

Glammy57, I thought a lot about your post about Lee Rigby last night.
I still think was one of the most shocking I have read.

MawBroonsback Tue 04-Jun-19 19:37:05

Jabberwok it sadly looks as though Prince Harry is being " controlled " by his Trump-hating wife

Of all the tosh I have read on GN or elsewhere, this takes the proverbial. “Controlled” ? What century do you live in?
What a cheek to presume anything about another marriage or relationship which has nothing to do with you
Oh Gransnet at its worst , think “Shreddies, knitted by Nanas”
You have to laugh or you would cringe at the embarrassment.

Gonegirl Tue 04-Jun-19 19:26:11

I still don't know who you are Glammy. Are you famous? shock
