That the SNP will do well
That Labour in Wales will do well
That Laurence Fox and Shaun Bailey will be humiliated in London
That my local council will stay LD
That Labour will hang onto its Mayors and do badly elsewhere

This is not a difficult prediction

Nothing that Labour does surprises me Urmston especially where dirty tricks are involved. shock or unshock

You have no moral highground left with a leader like yours! Once he has been dealt with you can start accusing others.

I don't remember removing other parties' leaflets from letter boxes, nor do I remember being trained to do so. However, I was always careful to push mine all the way through, being careful to avoid the snapping dog behind the door. I was neither Labour nor Tory!

Well your training was clearly only partially successful ?

So what's new?

Any leafleter worth their salt is trained to do this - I take it Urm you’ve never leafleted for a political party ? ??

Andy Burnam will be returned as Greater Manchester mayor.

Gosh, I hope not. But you are probably right.

Urmstongran Thu 06-May-21 13:16:51

I’m so naive.

MaizieD you have not offended me.

I appear to be a bear with very little brain today (to copy another poster). I know what I am trying to say, it just comes out a**e about face when I write it down.

{grin}

I know what you mean, seeing that I've been a bit confused this morning. But I think your brain is fine...

MaizieD back from my walk and before I start on the ironing mountain...

What I was trying to illustrate by referring to retirees and working during a pandemic was that sweeping generalisations are not on the whole correct or helpful from whatever side of the political spectrum you are from. Which is why I ended with I would not be so rude to do so Obviously my point was not clear, and for that I apologise, I will endeavour to refrain from sweeping statements in the future.

I did rather hope that my post would tell you that we might have some beliefs in common. I'm sorry that it seems to have offended you.

Purplepixie Thu 06-May-21 12:45:57

I know lots of people who are just not going to bother. I will vote but it will later today.

GrannyGravy13 Thu 06-May-21 12:41:02

PippaZ yes

Thank you for your post trisher.

I do wonder why people's "backgrounds" matter so much. It's surely how they live their own lives and what they do with any advantages they are given that is important, not what they were born into and couldn't avoid. True both, I would have thought, of the rich man in his castle and the poor man at his gate.

I agree.

I hope you still agree GrannyGravy13 but I should have put "advantages or disadvantages they are given". I have a feeling you will smile

Well put Trisher, thank you.
