Where are the Tory supporters who seem shy in defending the government?

Over the Russia report

Tory corruption

No protection for the NHS

No protection for our food standards

No Parliamentary scrutiny of any trade deal.

I’m sure some must think it’s all excellent?

Sorry, but I stand by my words. I too am entitled to an opinion.

And for what it's worth, Whitewavemark is one of the bright points on here. She doesn't have her head up the corrupt ar*e of the most corrupt and undemocratic goverment the UK has ever had.

Actually I should add that the constant bemoaning about the Government and Brexit, reminds me of the Dirty Democrats
in US. Bad Losers!

You're poking fun at the US Democrats? While the Republicans have a KKK, perma orange, conspiracy theorist, fascist as their leader? I don't have a polite enough exclamation for that level of ridiculousness!

And unfortunately, the UK is following. Except the all over orange.

As was evident on results day, the world is swinging to the right. Please god (any god!) the pandemic shows us rampant selfish individualism is NOT the way to go, else we will all end up dead or maimed.

I think you now know why most Conservative voters don’t bother with your threads much Whitewave
If you cut some of the confrontational stuff out ( as in disingenuous digs about posters and lies) and didn’t write the OP in that sort of way, then more posters may engage with the subject.

Of course, Trump has been such a stunning success, hasn't he?

It's called 'opposition' and it's legal in a real democracy.

'Bad losers'! shock

Some of you have never left the school playground, have you?

And ... Believing the BBC on political news and views, they are the worst of the media.

Whitewavemark2 Your arrogance beggars belief !!

You can rest assured that all the time this rotten government continues to lie, deals in corruption, shows moral bankruptcy and colluded with our enemy, I will continue to call them out.

If you don’t like it, then tough, and I suggest you take a leaf out if your own book and don’t read my posts.

CraftyGranny Wed 22-Jul-20 13:31:34

I agree with you too JenifferEccles.
If I see a thread opened by one of the usual suspects I will either move on to another thread or just read through the venom, for entertainment.
Can't you all just accept what the results were and get on with your lives, as leavers would have to, had the result been different.

JenniferEccles your post is spot on. Well said!
OP just spoiling for a fight. I, like many others, am just tired of it

Well, if the Tory supporting grans profess to never read my posts and then reply to them what on Earth am I supposed to assume.

It is simply a rational assumption, that to say you don’t read the posts then do, amounts to be less than truthful as far as I am concerned. What other conclusion does one come to?

Perhaps you should address your accusation of lying to the appropriate person instead of all right wing/Conservative posters.

They know who they are

Whitewavemark2. I feel that your slurs on Conservative Gransnetters are against the ethos and guidelines of this site.

Let’s hope that GNHQ leave your posts up for all to see.

Amazing how all those who profess to never read the centre/left of centre posts seem to be emulating the great leader and telling porkies.

It seems to be a trait of the right.

Accusing GN members of lying, very nice?

I think being economical with the truth is more appropriate, something all Johnson supporters are well versed in.

I rest my case!! (sigh)

Janpt Wed 22-Jul-20 12:58:35

GrannyGravy13I would vote the same way today, tomorrow or in four years time. In my opinion the other parties are still unelectable and I can not see that changing in the foreseeable future.
Well said. I agree. Enjoy your birthday !!

J.E, I totally agree, people must be allowed to say what they feel, and others able to discuss without being subjected to sneers and jeers. People simply won't post if that's all they're going to get.

Jabberwok Wed 22-Jul-20 12:21:34

Oh , and Happy birthday to you ?and Prince George!?
