da silva good post !


xxxxxxx


This was DaSilva's post, for those who have forgotten:



"Daily Mail, Mumsnet - I think you might be onto something Pinecone. If I were you, I'd just ignore the EDF's pitchfork-wielding yokels. They just don?t want to have to imagine their cosy, bucolic domain could potentially be disrupted by an icy blast of urban reality - especially when they?re having to fork out so much money to live in this little corner of God?s earthly paradise".



I really can't understand why either of you are posting on here, since you both seem to have such a low opinion of other forum members.

That's a novel perspective to take, Sue. If you look a little more closely at the previous posts on this thread (including your own execrable efforts), I think you'll find it's other posters - not me - who exhibit 'a low opinion of other forum members' by subjecting them to a deeply unpleasant campaign of playground bullying.


Hence, to paraphrase one of your juicier quotes, 'perhaps you should engage your brain before posting - if you have one'.

This is awful to read . Someone has been stabbed boy or girl woman or man good citizen or awful drug dealer and as always the subject has to change into a different subject and personal bickering and attack . Why don't the people on here who feel they have to hijack each subject or question just meet up and go to a pub and sort it out or start your own forum !

Well, it's a forum. That's what happens on forums!

Not necessarily. I know of at least one that is always good humoured and well mannered - and very informative and entertaining.

It can be done, honestly.

I'm sure it can be done!


But I'd be willing to bet that the forum of which you speak does not consist of members whose main if only thing in common (grammar?) is that they live in roughly the same geographical location - am I right?


And I bet it's very heavily moderated so that trolls and unpleasant people are kicked off it at the first sign of not being good-humoured and well-mannered?


This forum, because of its nature, is bound to have members with a wide cross-section of views and personalities, and therefore disputes are bound to arise.


I think it generally has a good balance - really vile people are banned, but otherwise posters are able to state their opinions freely on the whole. I think that's a healthy thing. It would be worrying if they couldn't.

    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
