Industry can pollute our beaches as much as it likes
This. Another win for the brexiteers.

and don't even talk about Brexit

tbf I only see people talk about it constantly on mn. Irl it’s just normal life, every day chat. Brexit doesn’t come up.

TBF in the circles you move in, low wages, cost of living or poverty doesn't either.

Also was it a name change… to a number username. Take a step back. Not good.

Well I live in Europe and constantly hear my parents and family in the UK telling me how it's all going to shit. Meanwhile on the mainland we are doing just fine so there is that and as Michel Barnier so sensibly said, in Europe we've moved on and don't even talk about Brexit. Meanwhile your emergency services are on strike, your teachers are on strike, food banks are booming and a lot of people are suffering. Well done Brexiteers!

That was always the plan of those who financed Brexit.

Am I wierd too @MarshaBradyo ?

MarshaBradyo · 05/02/2023 20:09

hmm.. I’ll say I prefer it when you don’t focus on my posts so much.

I’m sure there are good qualities that others can enjoy instead 😀

Big Yaaawn - tired old Remoaner rhetoric

Not having our laws decided by a corrupt group of unelected commissioners (the only democratic part of the EU, the Parliament, only has power to suggest amendments to laws, not propose laws. And the commission can override these amendments).

juneonthemoon · 05/02/2023 21:46

No benefits- everyone can see it now, so people have stopped saying 'project fear'

Which is why I suppose when the corrupt Boris Johnson was replaced as Prime Minister we all got the chance to vote on who is replacement was?

MarshaBradyo · 05/02/2023 21:51

Lol at all those ever pissed off having a go. 😂

Here’s a tip this is a forum and you have no idea about other people. If someone doesn’t care enough about who you are (and I really don’t) you should probably return the favour.

Does that mean one doesn't know whether another poster is weird or not?

MarshaBradyo · 05/02/2023 21:53

And just because you’re cross, miserable, unhappy with life or whatever no need to take it out on mn

It’s not going to help 😀

purpledalmation · 05/02/2023 21:55

The benefits of brexit are that we have a Brexit thread you can discuss this boring rubbish on.

MarshaBradyo · 05/02/2023 21:57

On weird - yes posters do give weird stalking vibes - ie following and always quoting relentlessly.

I don’t think it’s right especially if asked to stop.

Huh? People post. Other people read their posts and sometimes comment. It's how chat forums work. If you think anyone here is stalking you,Shock you should probably report it to MNHQ.

Stalking vibes yes… a bit obsessive

I’m not interested and have said as much but for some reason no ability to take it in. Anyway what do you care? Do you police who people interact with on here too.

Anyway it’s boring. They’re boring and it happens too often to continue again.

TooBigForMyBoots · 05/02/2023 22:30

If you find threads or posts boring, you don't have to read or comment. But you can't demand that others don't read or comment what you do post. You know that's not how MN works.Confused

Are you OK?Brew

MarshaBradyo · 05/02/2023 22:33

Honestly I find it strange behaviour. I’m happy to engage with people here as a chat

But this idea you can just follow someone round the boards relentlessly even if they don’t want to engage is odd to me.

I wouldn’t bother. I don’t need to hound anyone online, what’s the point?

I’m fine thanks. I always am, people are very nice irl it’s only on mn I get a few strange types.

TooBigForMyBoots · 05/02/2023 22:45

No one is hounding you or following you around relentlessly.Hmm And you don't have to engage with anyone.

As I said, if you really think you're being stalked by a member here, report it to MNHQ.
