If the UK is made to pay reparations where will that leave other nations who were or indeed still are involved in slavery?

Good lord, Dana, have you been here the whole day demanding people agree with you and reporting people?

No?

I didn't even have my phone on me when I went for a very long walk earlier.

Have you been here all day?

financial reparation is a non-starter. The UK is broke.

How will it be paid for?

other that the introduction of a reparation tax being introduced how can the UK even consider paying trillions? We will be paying this for centuries

Our children have already been decimated by Covid.

Reparations to that tune would mean their lives are over before it even started...yet we are the unempathetic and bullies.

I don't take your opinion at all as you're obviously on her side.

Possibly I too found your mode of delivery annoying?

So long as my daughter's education is not the price paid for a bunch of corrupt leaders demanding a ridiculous amount of money, then I have won.

I can't say that I particularly care about your daughters education, after you called me a cunt .

Don't do it to people

In all seriousness, you attempt to issue direct orders to people frequently in your posts. It's a mode of speech guaranteed to annoy. Maybe something to pay attention to.

I don't take your opinion at all as you're obviously on her side.

If you were neutral, you would point out to her that it's wrong to insult people.

But you instantly took her side. Mumsnet are on my side as hey saw her abusive posts. So that's the main thing

Danajune11 · 26/10/2024 20:55

So?

Your absolutely disgusting post has been deleted. That's the main thing

Bullies always find bullying a great laugh. So predictable!

I hope you don't do it to someone else @unrulyrabbit.

In that case maybe we should help them, or up the ante. Would they like a sweepstake on 'cunt'?

You're still laughing hysterically about being a bully.

I hope you're not a parent and I hope you don't work with children.

I've never seen anyone lack empathy so much. Cold

SpudleyLass · 26/10/2024 20:49

Also wombats are very interesting. Their poos are cubed.

Imagine if we had to do that. Child birth would be even more terrifying.

They’re marsupials so their babies are only about 2g when they’re born.

Danajune11 · 26/10/2024 20:51

Heresoneimadearlier · 26/10/2024 20:49

They are probably running a sweepstake on how many times the word bully is used on this thread or how many times the report button is pressed 😂😂 waits patiently for I’m going to report your post….

Oh its all great laughs when you're not the one being insulted.

If someone called you thick and stupid, how would you feel? And I was also worse, whch you saw, but I won't repeat that

Mumsnet takes a strong stance against online bullying
