This doesn’t seem to be being discussed much do here goes

1. Black people are mentally inferior
2. Women’s sport is more comparable to the Paralympics than it is to men’s
3. Enforced long term contraception
4. The benefits of everyone modafinil once a week are ‘probably worth a dead kid once a years
5. FGM is not a serious risk to girls ‘much of the hue and cry looks more like a moral panic’

For starters.

A perfect summing up Sir.

'So your contribution to this thread which has been running for a while now POGS wasn’t (as the rest of us did) to immediately voice your disgust and horror but instead chose to spend your time copying and pasting comments'
-

So why did I post before you Sir Chenjin???

POGS Mon 17-Feb-20 17:22:35
Never heard of him but I certainly will do research.

Certainly by suziewoozie posts he sounds a s**t
----

I copied and pasted to show the probable reason why some posters fraught shy of engaging with this thread.

For 24 hours there was a bombardment by the same few posters wanting to to know the reason why they were the only ones posting so I have told you all by using your own words.

trisher Tue 18-Feb-20 12:08:22

The point I think POGS is making suzie is that you shouldn't say nasty things about the Tories, Boris or people who voted for them. They on the other hand are entitled to post as much condemnatory misinformation about the left as they choose. Perhaps it's deflection, perhaps it's based on a realisation of what they have done, perhaps it's an indication of how they really think, who knows? They obviously can't justify it anyway.

suziewoozie Tue 18-Feb-20 12:11:40

Exactly * trisher*

Never heard of this man until I saw this thread just now....
Somebody failed to research his past comments before employing him ( or didn’t care) so a good job he has now resigned.
POGS copied all the odious comments aimed at fellow posters on here to prove a point....that being it doesn’t matter
If non left wing posters say this man sounds awful, they will still be castigated for ( in their eyes) the terrible crime of voting Conservative.?
Has anyone said ‘I think he sounds great and I agree with his views’ ? No, they haven’t, just the opposite.
The sooner he is gone the better and Johnson and his aides must learn a lesson there for the future, not to allow DC free rein with appointments.
If posters go over the top with their comments to GN grans
( which they have done) then no surprise they don’t get many responses and the thread becomes an echo chamber where they all type variants of ‘all Tories are shits’.It may be therapeutic for them after what happened at the GE, but just tedious for the rest of us.

No one seemed to notice how many of us didn't much like Corbyn, though. No matter what we said we were branded lefties [or, in my case, largely ignored]. So it works both ways [imo].

suziewoozie Tue 18-Feb-20 12:19:14

lemon interesting that you missed this story which is a perfect example of all that is wrong in No 10.? And you seemed to have missed the bit where No 10 have refused to disagree with AS’s comments. How very odd. Well there you go, as someone said upthread, one excuse of you lot would be ‘move along, nothing to see ‘ ?

suziewoozie Tue 18-Feb-20 12:22:22

Labaik there are many of us who were not Corbyn supporters but if you ever posted anything mildly left of centre there were screams of Corbynista, Marxist, Communist, hard left etc etc. It was tedious

POGS Tue 18-Feb-20 12:22:48

trisher

Nope.

I think what POGS is saying is the thread was perfectly right to raise the Andrew Sabisky story because it was right and fair to do so.

What ensued was not debate nor discussion because there was so quickly a desire to attack Tory GN Members by using personal attacks.

If it is thought amusing, a joke to consider calling other posters c***s by being funny, because they are not doing your bidding or vote in a different way to you then to be honest is there any surprise this thread remained with so few posters.

I thought about coming back to this thread but it had not changed the following day and the same ruddy question would have been asked so I took the time to tell you why, using your own words.

It was never going to be received very well but that's what the truth stands the risk of.

SirChenjin Tue 18-Feb-20 12:22:52

So why did I post before you Sir Chenjin???

You didn’t - if you read the whole thread from the start you’d have seen that. Interesting that your copy and paste job was an attempt to show us all how unreasonable we’d been when of course any Tory voter in their right mind would have immediately said (and I paraphrase obviously) ‘yes DC, BJ and AS are disgusting, revolting people whose views do not represent mine and I’m horrified that I’ve voted for a party which refuses to condemn AS. I shall be reconsidering my vote going forward and shall be putting pressure on my Tory MP to voice their opposition to this stance taken by No 10) - and not ‘you’re all being mean’.

suziewoozie Tue 18-Feb-20 12:29:17

Tbf it must be very hard when your beloved leader lets you down and hangs you out for the nasty lefties to have a go . Even worse when he refused to condemn AS and therefore as you can’t shelter behind that, you are then forced into a position of saying ‘ move along, nothing to see here’ because you know the present day Government is racist and misogynistic and is laughing at you for your devotion and support

Callistemon Tue 18-Feb-20 12:37:40

Sorry POGS* don’t take this the wrong way but I lost the will to live. Could you come back with a précis?

A précis of the comments vilifying any perceived Tory voters on GN is precisely what POGS has provided.

Even those who did not vote Tory (but did not vote Labour either) might refrain from commenting on such a thread.

This SPAD or whatever he was never appeared on my radar and has arrived and left before I realised.
How many others on the thread had heard of him before he "resigned"?

Callistemon Tue 18-Feb-20 12:41:36

beloved leader
He's yours too, whether you like it or not sw
And mine whether I like it or not.

At least you can vote them out at some point, unlike the Beloved Leader of NK.

suziewoozie Tue 18-Feb-20 12:48:58

No he’s not my leader - he’s theirs, they chose him, I didn’t. He’s the PM of the UK god help us.

SirChenjin Tue 18-Feb-20 12:49:05

AS may not have been on your radar Callistemon but DC and BJ (and their well documented comments, actions and behaviours) will have been, as will their continued refusal to condemn AS’s revolting offerings.

suziewoozie Tue 18-Feb-20 12:50:55

So not hearing of him makes a difference? God. He was appointed, BJ refuses to condemn his views.

Callistemon Tue 18-Feb-20 12:54:17

No, I haven't heard any condemnation probably because I wasn't aware of his coming and going until I read this thread and don't listen to every utterance that comes out of their mouths.
More worried about the water gushing down the drive and whether the drain will take it, the floods just up the road, people not far away who have been flooded out, the COV19 virus where DDs are, etc etc.

I must be so self-centred.

quizqueen Tue 18-Feb-20 12:54:21

Anyone who thinks uncontrolled population increase is not wrong is signing the death knoll of this planet.

Callistemon Tue 18-Feb-20 12:55:51

God

Was God aware of him then?

Callistemon Tue 18-Feb-20 12:57:43

Were you all aware of him before he 'resigned'?

Silence so far.

quizqueen Tue 18-Feb-20 12:59:19

Whoops...meant to say. 'doesn't think uncontrolled population increase is wrong'.

SirChenjin Tue 18-Feb-20 13:03:00

You neatly sidestepped my point about being well aware of DC and BJ (and their well documented comments, actions and behaviours) I see Callistemon and unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last few days you’ll have been very aware of the furore surrounding No 10’s refusal to condemn - it’s on every news outlet, every social media platform and on GN where you’ve been active.

suziewoozie Tue 18-Feb-20 13:06:18

call I was actually tying a post to others on this thread as his resignation came through -RTFT before you try and score cheap points based on untruths - typical of GNT

Callistemon Tue 18-Feb-20 13:11:50

and unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last few days
Yes, I have, well not under a rock exactly.

What is GNT?

SirChenjin Tue 18-Feb-20 13:21:25

But you’ve been on GN, you’re well aware of the behaviours and actions of BJ and DC up until now and you’re now aware of their lack of condemnation.

This behaviour from No 10 is well worthy of the disgust and anger on here I would say.
