Yippee! Starmer embraces BREXIT freedoms! ✔️

Brexit success?! Brexit disaster rather.

I don't know about you, Allira but I think that I know who Mr Gill is - a dodgy geezer.

"Going on threads to complain about the OP (both heading and poster) instead of ignoring the threads and starting other threads which might be more to there liking is all very odd."

Isn't that deplatforming?

I'll think you will find I can " go on" any thread I please and comment as I please. I don't have time to start threads about the appalling state we are in.

I do, however ,sometimes have 5 minutes in the day to look at this and that.

I don’t understand why so many of the people that bang on about how great the UK is, and how we’ve got our sovereignty back etc etc are so gleeful every time they think that the government have messed up in some way.

No glee from me MayBee70 just an overwhelming sense of disappointment.

I have been browsing (confined to barracks) our current PM’s pre-election promises.

No tax increases for working people
No IHT changes for farmers (said at an NFU meeting)
Freeze on energy costs.
No council tax rises.

That’s just a few…

Ridiculous post 😁

Sorry, I misunderstood. Please ignore my previous post.

Perhaps you mean by deplatforming all the attempts by several posters to stop posters such as FriedGreenTomatoes and nanna8 etc expressing their views.

This is a chat forum, of course, not the H of C!!

All views and opinions are welcome on GN as long as they are within the guidlines

I do find the hounding of posters is becoming more frequent, something which I am uncomfortable with.

Debate the subject of the thread, not other posters.

And they said Boris was a liar!

Oh yes, oh dear. I wish!

Yes I wish too Claremont.

I was told off by a poster recently for putting flowers at the end of a post!

Why????

Mention on here about immigrants using ECHR - all countries in Europe are members with the exception of Russia and Belarus. Says it all really.

Every person in the UK has access to the judiciary and the day that is stopped is the day democracy dies.

Cossy because, according to the poster, I keep putting flowers on my posts (🤷‍♀️) and on SM flowers are for sympathy. She even advised me what emoji I should use instead.

Needless to say I replied with courtesy and, of course, which denote ‘thanks’ on GN

Fessing up here. I would miss Fried's provocative posts on GN. Most Folk know what they are coming into when they click on them. It's important to delve into other viewpoints, and I always appreciate the well researched and classy rebutalls from WWM2 and many others. Okay, so I don't always name check, because the thread flows so quickly.

BevSec, Johnson was a liar. Is that in dispute again?

Even Johnson’s own party were in despair of him. He pretty much destroyed the Conservatives Party so I don’t understand why anyone would defend him or query the fact that he lied. I would hear him lie in parliament on a regular basis. I’ve spoken to Conservative Party members and MP’s and they don’t have a good word to say about him. When I criticise him it isn’t about being tribal about my own party but from seeing him as he really is and despising him for it.

I’m happy to agree with/contribute to the criticisms of BJ. It’s just funny when justified criticism of KS et al are met with such defensive responses.

Yes it is in dispute with me, .I am a huge supporter and I was pointing out that Starmer is a liar too. Is that in dispute?

Totally different scale and reasons! Did Starmer lie, overall, or did he come to the conclusion he could not deliver his promises because he inherited a diabolical situation. Very different.

What did you admire about BJ please?

I might not agree with you but posts are always well balanced and thoughtful GG13.

The scale and reason are immaterial. Labour have repeated ad nauseam about the diabolical situation. I dont believe a word of it.

I have replied to this on other threads, but basically he cared, is very intelligent, was a very effective and efficient leader, got Brexit done, got our vaccines sorted, and was the best PM since Churchill. All of this is, of course, is anathema to many on here!
