Should any marches around or near the Cenotaph this weekend not be allowed?

I’m not saying she shouldn’t have gone but all this chopping and changing doesn’t inspire confidence in the government, quite the reverse in fact.

Nigel Farage suggests that the majority of voters are behind SB.
A long time until the General Election so all water under the bridge by then…..

Well Nigel, we’ve seen her supporters’ ‘defending the cenotaph’, attacking the police and shouting racial abuse. Knuckle-dragging, flag-waving, foul-mouthed football hooliganism clutching cans of lager and hyped up on drugs.

The pride of British manhood!

Confidence in this government?

ROFL

A touch emotional Quokka?

What’s ROFL?

ROLF?
I am increasingly irritated by people who cannot be bothered to type the words they mean.
Laziness.

But what does it mean?

Roll on floor laughing.
Only we’re not.

You and me both eazybee. It seems Quokka likes doing this. TIC on another thread. I’m not a fan of text speak.

Thank you ronib.
Now I don’t know what TIC means either.

Probably

Thanks again ronib.

I thought it might mean Roars of F**** Laughter.

Remember Cameron with his LOL? Well LOL he’s back.

So, no evidence at all of a 'silent majority' supporting Braverman?

I'm relieved...

MaizieD the government is not the silent majority. If Kemi Badenoch is appointed Home Secretary there really is something fishy in Westminster. Wait and see.
Of course SB doesn’t mind being sacked as it happens regularly. I think she has leadership aspirations.

There are times when I find your thought processes incomprehensible, ronib.

Where did I say that the government were the 'silent majority'?

MaizieD my thoughts are that the government is out of step with the country and the government doesn’t reflect the silent majority!
At the moment it’s hard to think of who the government does represent but they are obviously working on it with all the shuffling around.

It means a nervous twitch

Or the immaculate conception?

I do wish posters would stop using the term "knuckle draggers" to describe the extreme right thugs such as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon and his group.

Some people seem to think it is a suitably worse description than thug which in fact means a violent, aggressive person, especially one who is a criminal.
It is not.

Thug is more apt than knuckle dragger.

It is disrespectful to those in the animal world such as chimpanzees, gorillas and others which do walk on their knuckles. Knuckle draggers are no more peculiarthan bipeds like humans and kangaroos, as were some dinosaurs.

This is not a joke btw.
Every time I read it, it grates.

OK I’m fine with Thug😄

Thug it will be - but you must admit they appear to be people of little brain.

Engerland!!!

Yes of little brain, they should have worn headdresses , covered their faces and carry anti Semitic banners

I think most of us know all about St George but thank you anyway

😁

Maybe GNers do but possibly not the majority of the population.

Dinahmo I don’t find it hard to believe that the silent majority support Suella Braverman - and I don’t think that she will be ousted. Gove needs to go.

I find it very hard to believe.

Where is the evidence to support this assertion?

It's all those people who have feelings, rather than considering the facts.

I mentioned somewhere that I watched David Bull's programme on Talk TV yesterday. His co presenter constantly repeated that SB was supported by the Silent Majority. I've no idea where she got her information from. However the weekend, on various talk shows the majority of callers did agree with her.

If there's any truth in it it, it's very sad.

Cenotaphs are fine symbols of individuals who have died and suffered in wars. Cenotaphs do not belong only to those who think only British individuals suffered.

The ceremony as is, with its marching men and expensively dressed aristocracy and politicians, now appears to be a symbol of establishment values. These people ought to be apparelled in the rags of contrition. Remember the bombing of Dresden.
