and all he stands for. I seriously cannot believe there are genuine people on this forum who appear to think otherwise.

It was well done and relied a great deal on Anne Reid I felt. If you were in a low mood , it could really get to you. I have been pondering this, as nearly all " entertainment" is devoid of optimism and hope. Maybe it's intentional.

I didn’t watch it (Years and Years) as we were away for part of it. A small précis would be helpful if anyone feels like it.

My whole family have been watching it GG. Unusual for all of us [DD and my ex] to be watching and raving about the same programme. We're also, as a family, joining the LibDems...

You're braver than me Labaik, watching it again. It's far too close to our own possible outcomes although very well done. Perhaps when, if, this is all over.

Yaxley- Lennon supporters demonstrated at the Old Bailey and then went on to run riot and threaten violence against the anti Brexit supporters at Parliament Square, arrests were made, say no more.

Interesting twitter thread here. Seems that some EDL members were keen on a bit of rape and paedophilia. Seems it's fine by Y-L, alias TR, if white lads are doing it...

GGMk3; I was only thinking tonight [having just finished rewatching Years and Years] how frightening it is that we now accept things that a few years ago would have shocked us.

Yaxley-Lennon is a brain dead racist. I find it more frightening that those who are old enough and claim to have a modicum of intelligence should even begin to defend him.

Johnson and Farage have done much to normalised the social atmosphere which allows other to make such attacks on a religion or race in a way which has not been the case since the last war. That they have done this merely to garner votes does put them in the same category as those whose hatred the aid and abet.

Goodnight Ellan, have a good night’s sleep.

EllanVannin Thu 11-Jul-19 22:58:00

GG13, tarred with the same brush meaning racist as well as Brexiteers. I did NOT mention terrorists-----you did !!

EllanVannin Thu 11-Jul-19 22:53:25

Don't patronise me maddyone !!

I'm better than I'll ever be thankyou very much. I don't even need to resort to backup either !

maddyone Thu 11-Jul-19 22:32:45

Lessismore grin

Lessismore Thu 11-Jul-19 22:21:16

Blimey, it's an echo chamber

maddyone Thu 11-Jul-19 22:18:39

As I said before Ellan, try to calm down, you’ll feel better.

maddyone Thu 11-Jul-19 22:17:21

Indeed GrannyGravey, indeed.

maddyone Thu 11-Jul-19 22:17:03

Well that’s your opinion Ellan, and you’re perfectly entitled to it. The trouble is, you’re wrong. BJ and NF have not been convicted of any crime, unlike TR. It’s a shame you don’t like it, but there it is, the truth, not opinion.

Lessismore Thu 11-Jul-19 21:54:13

Whoa, Muslims are Brexiteers who drink rum?

GrannyGravy13 Thu 11-Jul-19 21:48:43

EV - "tarred with the same brush "??????

My neighbours are Muslim- are they terrorists by your therum??????

EllanVannin Thu 11-Jul-19 21:40:34

But they're all tarred with the same brush-----Brexiteers. That's what they've got in common Oxbridge or not it's NOT the way to go !

Labaik Thu 11-Jul-19 21:22:51

I thought that Farage had done illegal things but seems to have, thus far, got away with it....

maddyone Thu 11-Jul-19 20:42:10

Incidentally Ellan, you are allowed to dislike BJ or NF, it's not illegal. I believe that TR did do something illegal though, and that's why he's sitting in prison tonight and BJ and NF aren't.

maddyone Thu 11-Jul-19 20:37:59

I'm not trying anything Ellan, but you'll feel better if you calm down.
As I said, I mentioned about the letterbox remark on my post, have a look back, you'll see it. As I said, love them or hate them, no one can legitimately put B J or NF into the same class as TR. You don't need a degree from Oxbridge to see that. Just because you don't like them doesn't turn them into criminals or fascists.

Lessismore Thu 11-Jul-19 19:56:55

Honestly, totally lost now, don't know what you are talking about.

EllanVannin Thu 11-Jul-19 19:42:19

Whatever your preference is Lessismore-----no prizes for guessing,eh ?
