Having read the posts from the far-left on another thread and the far-right on here I can only say "a plague on both your houses".

Please direct me to the far left thread - I would be interested to read it.

I think you need to borrow a nearby 12-year-old or similar, Luckygirl, to read my post and explain what it says. Nowhere does it say anything about a far left thread.

Deliberate misinterpretation for their own ends does, however, seem to be a characteristic of the extremes of politics.

Are you really a lawer GSM? This is when I begin to doubt it.

Do you answer attempts to mislead?

You believe I lie? You doubt my professional qualifications?

Lucky asked you a straightforward question. She did not attempt to mislead. You deliberately misrepresented what she said. Why don’t you answer her instead of derailing the thread with insults?

Please direct me to the far left thread - I would be interested to read it.

I would also be interested to read the thread with far-left posts.

As would I.

Is there such a thread DAR? If so, which one is it please?

Well ……. Can we discuss another thread on a thread? Lucky, I may be wrong but the ‘extreme left’ posts regularly on any thread where Starmer can be criticised. Isreal-Palestine?

I think Lucky just wanted to know where these extreme left wing posts are. I don’t know why DAR refuses to back up her statement by answering the question. I haven’t been following the Israel-Palestine closely so have no idea,

Such a pitty that this thread has veered from the original subject, Fancythat stated her reasons for no longer favouring the Tory party.
I assume that the majority of Gransnetters would have liked have heard the views of other posters on why they are falling out with the Tories and how they might consider voting in the future.

Most former Tory voters I know have been horrified by the absence of integrity shown by the government - firstly in voting in Boris Johnson on the promise of cabinet posts when they knew he was not competent or honest enough for the role; and then in giving us Liz Truss (heaven help us!). I suspect that our sitting Tory MP he appalled by the absence of integrity too.

I haven't refused to answer GSM. I have been out most of the day,while you have felt the need to continue with this sillyness.

If that is how you want to spend your time, who am I to stop you.

I’m sure you can answer now that you’re back.
Not silliness - if someone asks a question they’re entitled to an answer. Common courtesy.

Thanks for the suggestions. 👍

Answer what GSM? Luckygirl had her answer and has returned to the subject.

Whatever you I think I 'owe' you or anyone else, your overweening sense of entitlement is just that and you are certainly not "entitled" to anything from me.

If, by now, you cannot recognise posts from those on the far-left, far-right, democratic centre or outwith democracy, I doubt anyone can help you.

There is no such thing as the 'democratic centre', DAR.

That is one perspective Maisie.

Exactly. It would have been informative and might even have influenced the way people chose to vote.

So good of you to let us know what everyone thinks Luckygirl. Saves so much time when one person speaks for all. On the other hand I would have much preferred to have read some reasoned posts from individuals than hearing the popular tropes yet again

I am entitled to courtesy from you, as are we all. It seems to be in short supply.

Funny thing the English language.

"Most former Tory voters I know have been horrified" - I guess at a stretch that could mean "I know that most Tory voters have been horrified" but it does of course refer to Tory voters of my acquaintance.

I don't thin that reporting what tory voters Luckygirl knows think is telling us what 'everyone thinks.'

I think that we'd all be interested in reading some reasoned posts from tory voters, but they're not exactly forthcoming, are they?

Probably because we don’t want to be insulted.
