Ignore Nicola Sturgeon. She’s just an attention seeker.

Wot????

Look up the welsh word for carrot.

There is some lurking Gnetter who finds it overly insulting when applied to Ms Truss.

That person is also a Welsh carrot for not having the guts to say they had reported. Why not just say on the thread if you disagree with what somebody has said?

I agree.

It was very swift.

We did go through all this a day or two ago, when it was volver who used the taboo word. One or two people did object on the thread, which was fair enough, but it was reported and deleted all the same.

I wonder if 'welsh' and 'carrot' are now on the banned list

I missed all the deletions (I always seem to) but it does occur to me that comparing Truss to a carrot (Welsh or otherwise) is a bit insulting to carrots which are useful, nourishing vegetables that can be served in a number of ways, whereas Truss is purely and simply useless.

I had an early morning hospital appt over 100 miles away and it was to attend in person.
I booked a hotel for the night before, but 2 days prior to my appt got a text saying the appt was on the phone, plus the blurb about missed appts costing £160!
I contacted them them to be told it was a clerical error and the appt was indeed by phone. I asked how I could claim for my out of pocket expenses!
Fines would work both ways…… I didn’t claim btw.

You can even use them in cakes.

What about s****t pot****s?

I think that the Gnet mods are removing the Michael.

When are they going to join the thread and give us a little warning about having a laugh? (Goodness knows, there's little to laugh about in Politics these days)

What about o****e sweet peppers?

Rather partial to physalis

Originally somebody used an English word which happens to be like the Welsh for carrot. From there all the light hearted comments which have been taken a tad seriously. Please gnhq take this as being in the spirit of explanation nothing more . End of story ?? No more reports please ?

I honestly don't know how we are expected to make any serious contributions to GN where reference to vegetables result in posts being deleted.

Best stop now I think

We need warning notices at the start of threads "This thread contains references to orange vegetables which some may find unacceptable"
Oh and a helpline.

Perhaps we should leave it there, I hear that Kevin is traumatised and in therapy.

Not to mention Kevin’s Welsh cousin Idris, thrown under the bus due to his pursuit of honesty about Truss. ? ?

DP and I were talking about potential Sturgeon/Truss meetings this morning. Nicola's going to have to call on all of her skills so as not to make Truss look like an idiot, but quite how she does that when Truss will do all the heavy lifting herself god knows.

Why should she bother ? Liz Truss will be looking like an idiot all the rest of the time anyway.

English Tory voter and party member here, thoroughly ashamed of Ms Truss today and not overly keen on Mr Sunak. My ballot paper will arrive by 11th August and Larry the cat will get my vote. Membership will be cancelled as soon as I send off my paper.
I shall remain left of centre but can’t support either contender and hope there are some drastic changes before the next general election.

I had a lovely dinner, beef, roast spuds, green beans, Liz trusses and lots of gravy

I'd pay good money to know what Nicola Sturgeon says and thinks about Truss!

Good post Laura

Well I meant right of centre, is it still a good post Lucca?

Right of centre politically but left of centre Tory wise perhaps
