“A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”.

Bessie, you’re laughing – if laughing is the right word – so much you have become totally incoherent.

Try as I may to make sense of this diatribe, I fail.

In fact, I’m starting to be unsure of whether you can make a serious point, whether it’s about politics or even grammar. You really don’t seem interested in anything but asserting your own…[Read more]

I notice Badder hasn’t responded.

I’ve been wondering how Rumblebum is doing as well.

He seems a natural ally for you, though I do think his grammar needs more than a little correction too.

As a grammar nerd, I assume that you have heard of (maybe read?) Lynne Truss, whose bossy little volume Eat Shoots & Leaves has sold 3 million copies. What Truss did was to allow the people…[Read more]

I’ve only had 3 password reset requests.

Hoping for more, though.

but it could be someone who has won the hearts of nem and janey    

Ge is left as the odd man who calls himself a socialist supporting a Tory government which is committed to the destruction of the rights and standards established by the EU in the 1980s and 1990s.

What about me being a wife-beater??

When someone relies on abuse, their argument is weak, which about sums Ge up.

He doesn’t like it when he comes across actual facts.

Thatcher signed up to the Single Europeran Act in 1985, under the influence of Athur Cockfield. She thought it was an extension of her free market principles, and as late as…[Read more]

and you’re a histrionic nut.

I’ve mentioned this several times before,

and you are still evading the fact that you conveniently sidestep the opposition of virtually the entire Labour and Trade Union movement to no-deal.

They regard the no-deal you support as a possible catastrophe in the short term, as an increasingly likely threat to jobs,…[Read more]

You haven’t read the information I googled, because it’s from a site which has a paywall. You’re so incensed that you’re not right that you’re looking for anythng, no matter what it says, to point-score.

If you read me carefully, I stressed that Thatcher was very keen on the Single Market, and then turned against it.

She turned against it as she…[Read more]

can’t imagine  

Interesting that, as always, you conveniently sidestep the opposition of virtually the entire Labour and Trade Union movement to no-deal.

They regard the no-deal you support as a possibl;e catastrophe in the short term, as an increasingly likely threat to jobs, the NHS, food standards etc in the medium and long term.

Or are you going to say that…[Read more]

Blair is playing the sort of games politicians play.

He and others like to claim that the Single market was the creation of the Thatcher administration, while conveniently overlooking the fierce opposition of Thatcher herself.

If you had been able to read the link I posted, it was addressing the question of the Single market being a…[Read more]

Empty bellowing, Ge.

You talk through your hat when you spout empty phrases about ‘neo-liberal’ ‘corporatist’ entities, claiming that all opponents of Brexit are Blairites.

Lies. Lies. lies.

Almost the entire Labour and Trade Union movement are totally opposed to No Deal as a major threat to jobs, food and living standards.

The socialist…[Read more]

Different people feel different things, Sarah.

I don’t think anybody who is flirting is going to say it’s cheating, or maybe some will.

All depends on what cheating is.

people with partners who flirt are not going to shout to everyone that they’re cheating, especially with some here loving all the revelations. they’re going to keep…[Read more]

talk about killing off a really poor joke

That’s not news to me, Ge, nor does it bother me.

I don’t prefer Blair’s views to anyone here – I liked the comment of Zbigniew Brzezinski, the US National Security Advise under Carter. When asked his views on Blair, he said, “I despise him. I don’t dislike him. But, I despise him. Yes, I despise him”.

Given all that, Blair’s analysis of the…[Read more]

No, Thatcher didn’t create the Single market.

The Single Market was created by the EU, and opposed by Thatcher as an invasion of national sovereignty. It was her opposition to the Single Market which led directly to her downfall.

Her change of heart on the Single Market, from support to opposition, is…[Read more]
