Hubby and I have just got back from Parliament Square celebrations (stayed longer than planned as the atmosphere was electric!) - We all made so many new friends (both leavers and remainers) - Hellllllo to the "Backing Singers"! grin And Tenby Angels Helllooo - Hopefully we will see some new members joining GN. (I've warned them about the welcoming committee, don't worry). wink
There is definitely a wonderfully, optimistic buzz in the UK!
I love this British wave of positivity.
Reminds me of the Berlin Wall coming down.

I would have loved to have gone but live too far away so had to make do with watching on TV. We did do a little dance at 11pm though. grin

Remainer wolves grin

aprilrose - surrounded by a pack of remainer wolves but still fighting back. Well done girl ?

SirChenjin Sun 02-Feb-20 20:22:48

Whoa - that’s a bit much shock

Her post of 19:42 wasn’t aimed at aprilrose. If you’re going to throw around accusations of bullying you might want to check your facts first.

Firecracker123 Sun 02-Feb-20 19:57:43

Nezumi your post today 19.42 in my opinion what is unpleasant is the little clique of remainer bullies on here ganging up on Aprilrose.

SirChenjin Sun 02-Feb-20 19:49:26

There’s no real connection Greymar - it was just a poor attempt at detracting us from the Nazi salute/not illegal/free speech issue.

[shocked]
So mean today, lay of some of these folk, please they have not even said any of what you accuse!
Disgusting way to treat anothers thread of celebration, too. Hateful way to spread your message.

My thread is chocked full of your arguing with everybody and anybody it seems.

hmm

ananimous Sun 02-Feb-20 19:43:19

Greymer Pot Stirring again?

Nezumi65 Sun 02-Feb-20 19:42:29

(Not you Greymar)

Nezumi65 Sun 02-Feb-20 19:41:48

How unnecessarily unpleasant.

Greymar Sun 02-Feb-20 19:41:03

What is the connection between neo Nazi salutes and abuse of young girls ,largely by men of Pakistani heritage?

ananimous Sun 02-Feb-20 19:39:41

Nez

Could you repeat yourself a bit more, prhaps throw in another useless link?

Nezumi65 Sun 02-Feb-20 19:38:39

I’m not ‘bleating’ aprilrose - I am concerned about the risk of seizures in the case of an interruption in supply - a particular risk in a no deal scenario.

SirChenjin Sun 02-Feb-20 19:37:38

That’s exactly what you’re saying aprilrose “Whilst I am not in any way condoning Nazi salutes, lets remember they are not illegal in this country. That maybe is the price of freedom and freedom of speech ( Those fredoms of people to say what they believe I am willing to defend with my life even if I do not agree with what is being said.)” Or - ‘I might not like them but they’re not illegal so y’know, free speech and all’

Nezumi65 Sun 02-Feb-20 19:35:57

You stated they are not illegal (they usually are tbh) and that they are part of free speech. Then went on about how important free speech is.

That is defending the right of people to make Nazi salutes.

aprilrose Sun 02-Feb-20 19:35:37

I think you will find the UK has a major pharmacuetical industry. I worked in it once many years ago.

I doubt those bleating had noticed but there are constant shortages of medicines whilst we have been in the EU . I am not saying thats because of the EU but it isnt logical to claim that leaving the EU will make things worse.

You are rambling, accusatory nonsense now

aprilrose Sun 02-Feb-20 19:31:55

You are defending the right of people to make Nazi salutes even if you don’t like them

No, I thought I made that clear.

Nezumi65 Sun 02-Feb-20 19:31:03

*neo

Nezumi65 Sun 02-Feb-20 19:30:04

I saw that - and as I said you missed the point. A Nazi salute outside a Jewish school is a police matter.

You are defending the right of people to make Nazi salutes even if you don’t like them. You are using the same argument as known now-Nazis.

Nezumi65 Sun 02-Feb-20 19:28:20

Stirring again ananimous? The epilepsy meds/cancer isotopes etc issues are easy enough to understand.

And no I will not accept that a Nazi salute is something to be protected under free speech. It is quite the most shocking thing I have read for a long time.
