They reckon a huge majority for the tories!

There are indeed sensible women who think logically, TM was one of those, only to be defeated by a load of emotional rubbish. The problem for the U.K. now is that if BJ tears up the Withdrawl agreement we are heading for a “no deal” Brexit, because the EU are only going to debate logically and any one state has a veto.

The Labour Party is very likely to bounce back, elect a charismatic leader with sensible policies it could look very different in 5 yrs time. Especially if Brexit does not yield a tangible benefit by then.

Good heavens I would have thought there would have been grounds for someone to be banned for calling another poster ‘scum’ if that is true.

What a horrible thing to say whatever the provocation.

Ilovecheese Wed 18-Dec-19 16:18:53

Could anyone please point to a post where GGMK3 called anyone "scum"?

Bridgeit Wed 18-Dec-19 17:26:21

Well we certainly do have a particular ‘type’ of Gran on here.
GracesgranMK3, why always the vitriol? Perhaps you could share with us what upsets you so much?

GracesGranMK3 Wed 18-Dec-19 23:03:08

GGMK3 is very good at calling people "silly", "stupid", "scum"

I believe your post to be a lie Opal and unless you can show me where I have called any person on this forum "scum" by tomorrow I will report your post. Then we can look at where you would find me calling a person "stupid". The only person I have called silly is Annie and she was being.

GracesGranMK3 Wed 18-Dec-19 23:11:39

Bridgeit I have said this so many time anyone might have exected even you to remember. If you are throwing out personal attacks I will return them. If you are being polite and pleasant I will return that too. For example, your statement saying "why always the vitriol" could have read "why are you so upset with some posters? Because plainly I am. If you moderate your language I will moderate my posts. It seems to be the only thing some people understand.

Report my posts by all means but I will point to why I made them and you will find yours disappear just as quickly as mine do.

Not saying it was you Gracesgran but someone definitely posted on one of the threads that all Tory voters were the scum of the earth. If I find the thread I’ll see who it was.

Bridgeit Thu 19-Dec-19 00:03:01

Why the need to write ‘ Even You’
I know what I think you mean by choosing those words,
We are either poles apart or both have a similar trait, but are backing different horses.

Post to GGMK3

Bridgeit Thu 19-Dec-19 00:05:51

Ohh and Please feel free to report away anytime you wish .

GracesGranMK3 Thu 19-Dec-19 00:23:30

It seemed a reasonable balance with your comment Bridgeit. I said nothing about reporting you. What have you said that makes you think I should?

Mind you, you might suggest to Opal that she asks for her post to be deleted and apologises. Lying like that is unforgivable.

GracesGranMK3 Thu 19-Dec-19 00:24:28

Oh, and I am not backing any horse.

janipat Thu 19-Dec-19 00:46:29

GracesGranMK3 I hold no brief for Annie, and frequently disagree with her viewpoint but can you explain how you The only person I have called silly is Annie and she was being. is not rude but someone finding Grandad's posts "boring" is rude and deserves your condemnation?

janipat Thu 19-Dec-19 00:50:03

Oh and just to add, Grandad accused me of not answering two questions he posed me. I repeated the one I has answered, asked for a link to the second since I couldn't find it and posed my own question to him. Reply I got none. I've found that to be pretty typical. No answer, or false accusation, just ignore.

My post was deleted because they couldn’t find the offending
Item by GGM3.........I will do my very best to find it, that’s for sure.

Opal Thu 19-Dec-19 12:48:07

GGMK3 I've just seen your post, thanks for reporting me. I've told Gransnet exactly where you called Tory voters "scum of the earth", it was on the "Considering voting Tory" thread, page 11. Doodle also saw it, as I'm sure many others did. So, who's the liar?

Anniebach Thu 19-Dec-19 12:58:59

Just looked at that thread , it is there, thank you Opal

Perhaps GracesGran will apologise to the forum and to
those who have had their posts deleted.

inkcog Thu 19-Dec-19 13:01:03

Perhaps you could go and clean the loo or wrap up a few gifts or visit a lonely person. Just thought.

JenniferEccles Thu 19-Dec-19 13:07:27

Surely the best course of action is for everyone to totally ignore the poster who made that horrible comment.

Honestly who would say something like that?

Anniebach Thu 19-Dec-19 13:08:39

Perhaps you should stop sucking Grapefruit, it is so bitter

Anniebach Thu 19-Dec-19 13:09:32

Agree JenniferEccles

inkcog Thu 19-Dec-19 13:10:42

LOL, you have given me a real good laugh.
