Political onanism

Gonegirl, 'prim little old ladies' - there seem to be an awful lot on here!

I remember my bible from Sunday school and RE lessons and obviously didn’t realise what it meant until I was an adult. Not sure it’s any more polite a term than the one that rhymes with banker.

GN is a fount of knowledge!

Well, I had to Google to find out what it meant.

I didn't think I'd led a sheltered life (not work wise anyway!) but that word passed me by.

Bye

Got a morning to get on with now. Only came on to catch up on the clothes threads.

Hardly lasting, it was only the other week. Don’t flatter yourself.

Exactly gfp but there are some on GN who think they can make it all up as they go along.

That's true. You have an excellent memory.

How did I come to make such a lasting impression on you?

Ooohhh Gone here comes the ageism and sexism now.

anybody who tells people to fuck off on GN is not really in a position to be lecturing others on their choice of language.

You have with your ridiculous post.

You actually agree that it doesn't matter what the context is Annsixty? Unbelievable.

Has everyone on Gransnet got only the minds of prim little old ladies, whether you are one or not?

Bloody hell * Gone* what’s rattled your cage this morning?

I have a suspicion Gone that you are not happy with BJ using the phrase and so are deflecting your feelings onto me. It’s not mock horror at every little thing - what a childish response.

As everyone knows exactly what he means, then of course it's appropriate. For adults only of course. Perhaps not you susiewoozie.

Yes * Gone* we all understood what he meant by what he said. The question is whether that’s appropriate in political discourse.

I agree suziewoosie just felt I had missed some other stupid utterance from our PM.

It wasn't funny. Well, only to you.

Of course it matters how he is saying it! Content is everything.

Do stop throwing up your little girl hands in mock horror at every little thing.

I thought my use of the word in the context of the thread was quite funny - I still do.

He is saying that Corbyn just wants the pleasure of being at the centre of attention for another few years whilst trying to work out another Brexit deal. He's right.

(ie Corbyn pleasuring only himself)

Anyone who uses the word "wanker" on Gransnet could be so described themselves.

Of course you do Gone

Does that really matter annsixty? It has no part in public political discourse does it ?
