Did you watch his interview with Piers Morgan?
What did you think?

EllanVannin and Urmstongran. If you were newspapers, you would need to make retractions. You're not newspapers, so maybe you should just stop making scurrilous accusations.

Thanks, growstuff. It is so dispiriting to have to constantly refute these accusations.

Quite agree- how many times do people have to be told that they have got it wrong??? It just seems to go in one ear and out of the other!

Is that because there is no brain to absorb the information?

He,s quite easy on the eye too ?

EllanVannin Wed 02-Jun-21 19:52:14

growstuff I didn't say that Starmer was responsible for Worboys release---I said that Starmer didn't prosecute Worboys further for the sexual assault on those women.

Urmstongran Wed 02-Jun-21 20:35:06

Those of us who are old enough to remember the Goon Show, remember the comment: "Have you seen the next man?" That's why Sir Kneel-a-lot is struggling.

EllanVannin Wed 02-Jun-21 20:39:17

Good job I'm not a dab hand with the report button isn't it ??

EllanVannin Wed 02-Jun-21 20:42:00

It's those who have brains that don't do the reporting !!
Think about it ! Reporting is for wimps.

Urmstongran Wed 02-Jun-21 20:44:14

Yes EV you & I (in this echo chamber) have pretty much been told by WW we have no brains. Just because we have a different opinion. As HM the Queen recently said ‘some recollections may differ’.
?

Starmer is making a Royal mess of it, and the only folk putting heads above the parapet to be shot at are Cooper and Burnham. Cooper is past her sell by date, and Burnham has no practical clue just a big mouth.

No wonder the latest YouGov Poll gives the Tories an 18 point lead .....

Oh dear. No affairs, no abortions, never been sacked. How awful. He really must up his game mustn’t he....sad

Shouldn’t think he has had an abortion, legal in this country by the way, seeing as he is a man.

Whitewavemark2 Wed 02-Jun-21 20:46:45

Nope - once again you have chosen to ignore what the posts were about.

The posts were about you posting false allegations which have been disproved time and again, but which for some apparent reason you are unable to absorb that information.

No but he arranged and paid for at least one. Wanted another but the woman refused to go ahead with an abortion. He scatters children like confetti.

Another dispiriting non discussion, with snide, untrue comments about Starmer. Criticise his politics if you prefer Johnson’s politics but don’t repeat lies about Saville, Rochdale or Worboys. Starmer’ s record on the law is excellent.

Urmstongran Wed 02-Jun-21 20:56:12

Well it seems the Labour vultures are circling the oh so lovely Starmer. He’s toast already.

Galaxy Wed 02-Jun-21 20:58:37

I am not sure predictions are your forte.

EllanVannin Wed 02-Jun-21 20:58:45

Urmston I wouldn't worry because Starmer isn't as popular as he's made out to be----hence why folk get aeriated.

growstuff Wed 02-Jun-21 21:02:17

Goodness me! It's time to dance with the unicorns!

... or facts.

Urmstongran Wed 02-Jun-21 21:06:17

Hold the line EV it’s you and me against this lot on here!

Oh wouldn't it be delicious if YC was elected leader, then lost her seat at the General Election!

Think about it. Yvette Cooper? The Yvette Cooper who in the immediate aftermath of the EU referendum stated ‘the result must be honoured’. Is this the same Yvette Cooper who for the following 3 years did her utmost to block every attempt the government made to leave the EU?

I believe it is one and the same.

Jo Swinson suffered that fate, but the LDs are so insignificant nowadays, hardly anyone noticed.

You appear not to understand the role of the DPP. It was the police who failed in their duty.

growstuff Wed 02-Jun-21 21:19:58

Does anybody else remember the kids at school who couldn't do much else except call people names?

EllanVannin Wed 02-Jun-21 21:22:24

I understand alright----enough to know that it wasn't up to the police, but Starmer as head of the DPP.

foxie48 Wed 02-Jun-21 21:23:10

OH and I watched it this afternoon. He came over a as a decent, intelligent man. It was interesting that he answered all the qs except for did he take drugs at Uni, clearly he did. Who cares? I certainly don't. Is he too nice for politics? Probably, but I could do with some decency and integrity but I suspect I may be in the minority. He does need a good PR team though and a much clearer, snappier version for what the labour party represents with him as leader. I thought his answers were a bit woolly.

But,but,but.

IT IS NOT TRUE!

Are we now doing fantasy politics?
