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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
