Jane,
Thank you. It was quite refreshing to see someone make a reasonable point in a polite manner, without prefacing it with horrible insults.
You’re absolutely right.
And if we don’t leave, then it would be seen as a betrayal of democracy, as brexiteers such as yourself argue. I don’t agree with you about Remain, as is obvious, but I think…[Read more]

It’s starting to end in tears.
The defeat of the government tonight was stunning. No government has had such a huge majority against it.
Clarity now at last begins to emerge.
Unless the EU makes major concessions, which they won’t, then the clock is still ticking to Brexit Day and we’ll be leaving without a deal.
Except…
the House of…[Read more]

I’m really uninterested in this sort of rubbish. Character assassination is always the cheapest way of avoiding difficult discussion
More important things are happening.

I think you’re letting your hatred of her get in the way. I don’t see any way she can hurt me as there’s no contact between us.
I’ve said before that I want nothing to do with your argument against her, except to criticise the cruelty of her attacks on you. She has claimed that I have no idea of what led to her attacks, and she’s right. I don’t.…[Read more]

I’ve never made any secret that I encourage her poetry.
Or that I have no desire to be part of any quarrel between the two of you.
I’m not changing on either.
I don’t curry favour with anyone, despite the opinion of Philomena’s peep-eye.

I don'[t see a debate.
I do see political funnies.
Or are they not allowed?

Dodger, close friend of mizzy, so must be a close friend of sarahh
I really don’t know you (any of you).
You seem to have a very sharp mind, and a sharp tongue which can sting.
You’ve helped me a lot with your poetry, and your attitudes to poetry, so this advice is purely well-meant.
I have no idea whether you are the cause of the anger wit…[Read more]

Thank you, dodger good friend of mizzy,
I’m not particularly good. I have a sense of right and wrong, shared by a lot of people.
I’m still amused/bemused by being reported to Philomena Cunk when I was visiting f3 late week lol
I know, it happens to the best of us.

I used to live in a street where everybody talked about everybody else, and a couple of people were always sending letters to the Social Security or the cops informing on the minor infringements of their neighbours .
After moving from the anonymity of London, it was really strange!!
Fortunately for me, the main victim was a single mum who had a…[Read more]

Milky, I’m not sure that thin was saying that.
If he had said that, I wouldn’t have made any comment, because I would have agreed with him – and you.
He seemed to be saying that the EU were pretty slack about halal slaughter.- or was I misunderstanding him???
I was explaining that EU rules on halal slaughterhouses are strict, and was w…[Read more]

Jeez, I’m having my odd visit to jc chatrooms monitored now!
haha.
I fully stand by that finale, and I’m planning to write on it soon.
I know who would have told you that. I went in there for a private chat with someone on f2 which involved banter, and so i pulled into f3 to relax by chatting to people I used to know, even if slightly. I go in…[Read more]

Apologies to H, and to Linda, but politics and funnies do tend to go together, and express a truth better than discussion.

Thanks, Linda.
I, for one, appreciate your thoughts.
I have never and will never consider running for public office. First, it’s a very different society from the one you in which you live. In the US, there is a strong public life and a continual electoral system with many offices up for election. The UK remains quite a closed system, with a…[Read more]

Thin, you may not be reading this any more after the Christmas break, but I’ll write it anyway in the hope of an answer.
I know nothing about the attitude of the UK and of the EU to halal, so am hoping for a clarification – from you, not the Chuckle Twins, hopefully.
I did read that the European Court of Justice recently prevented an a…[Read more]

back to the chuckling duo
i don’t tell lies. I take nothing back on the anti-Semitic thread.
Does character assassination include calling me a wife-beater???
Hmm….

I answered.
I’m adding nothing more to any variation.
End of for me.
Now that film was truly amazing.
When I feel disturbed here again, I’m going to look at that film.
I’m going to bed peaceful.
