……so that the Conservatives are wiped out in the next election.

Your thoughts?

I’m not fussed either way. He got Brexit done ✅

Just seen this, from Deborah Meadon (she knows a thing or two about successful business!) - and the perfect answer

''Thos quoting 'he got Brexit done' ... any fool can sign an agreement... but if it doesn't work, and it doesn't deliver what was expected... then that is getting a SIGNATURE done
and leaving a shedload of trouble to unpick. That's where we are''

she forgot to say that the unpicking cannot be done by the UK unilaterally. The Deal has been signed, so any changes have to be approved by all sides. So, sorry, but NO- he has not got Brexit done.

I really applaud posters on GN who politely seek to move the discussion back to topic, be it with self introspection or an apology.
Boris could take a leaf out of this book!

I heard a very funny quote this morning. he’s a dead man walking, but he just doesn’t know it

I know the photo is small but on my iPad if you tap it it opens up ok

Getting back to Boris. He’s apparently now gunning for any no10 staff in order to save his skin.

I thought this snippet interesting

Not even The Times can spell correctly, looking at the chart Whitewave copied. Revalations insteadof revelations!!

DiscoDancer1975 Sun 16-Jan-22 09:01:27

Yes...you are right Lucca. I’m finding myself sinking to a level of discussion that I don’t like. Don’t like it in myself, so I’m not going to participate anymore.

What will be will be, no matter what we all say on here.

Voting conservative then saying you don't vote conservative.

It's not us with the comprehension problems.

My goodness, this got childish!!! I got more sense out of my two small grandchildren last night.

Let me try and rephrase for the hard of understanding. I have only voted Conservative ONCE, and that was to get Boris in to, dare I say it... get Brexit done

Thank for your replies Alegrias and Casdon. You just confirmed everything I just said.
Goodnight

???

As I have said before …grown women afraid to post ?
There have been many unpleasant sneery comments about loonie lefties and remoaners so I do. To buy the poor old conservative supporters are getting bullied. Absolute twaddle.
And PMing to say ooh I do agree with you but I’m too shy and timid to write it down is just unbelievable.
Goodnight

Sorry Holysox but saying you have received private messages supporting you cuts no mustard. This is a public forum, and posters should be prepared to say what they think publicly, have the courage of their own convictions and equally be prepared to take the brickbats if others don’t agree with them. If they don’t post, to be frank they don’t count because they have no voice.

The forum is not aggressive, if somebody says something you don’t like you have the right of reply. There isn’t one voice coming from people with different views to you, everybody else has a different perspective both to you and to each other.

Casdon you are always very reasonable and, as far as I have seen, argue a point fairly, don't belittle other posters or get angry with them.

Not everyone does that.

Casdon made a fair point.

Having been involved in many threads like this - if you're losing attack the player, not the topic.

Alegrias1 Sat 15-Jan-22 21:55:13

Oh. I'm crushed.

Thanks Alegrias1, me too.
Holysox people have disagreed with you. That’s not the same as belittling you at all.

Alegrias1 Sat 15-Jan-22 20:53:05

I feel I am in good company.
