Nobody is scared of you 🤣
It's all just a bit dull and predictable.

That would be a reason for all posters to leave all threads, wouldn’t it?

Or are you all so fascinating and insightful that people like me should look on in wonder?

FFS.

Folks - remember your hands and the need to sit on them Wink

Nothing of any value comes from engaging in these circular arguments, because whatever arguments we use, they'll be varying versions of "wrong" Confused

You're absolutely right.

Back on the subject of cats...

Sorry, wrong one!

Not that it's going to work on these threads, but you can see the desperation...

@Rummly , if you want to genuinely discuss politics here then you are more than welcome to do so. If not, then I am heeding prettybird's advice.

Zonder · 03/09/2024 22:26

Well said @PandoraSox . Perhaps they can learn from this thread how to discuss things without being aggressive.

bombastix · 03/09/2024 22:27

Also me. Can’t be doing with it

Rummly · 03/09/2024 22:30

In what way have I been aggressive or unpleasant?

HannibalHeyes · 03/09/2024 22:32

The lack of self awareness is quite telling.

Your first post on the thread was aggressive and unpleasant. It hasn't got much better since then.

But we can all see what you are, so you can carry on, and we'll work around you..

You mean that I said that this was a sycophantic Labour thread? I was right, wasn’t I?

Efacsen · 03/09/2024 22:34

Sorry to mention this but now on Page 39 - maybe need to think of a title for the new thread?

Well doesn't time fly when you get a lot of clutter.

BustingBaoBun · 03/09/2024 22:36

I come here to discuss with like minded people, that's it really. There are plenty of threads to talk about how awful Labour is in ummmmm six weeks is it?!

As far as the Starmer family's new cat, it sounds like one or both of his kids have good negotiation skills. One of my DCs was like this, no idea why she isn't chief Negotiater somewhere, she'd wear anyone down 😂

Well... There's not going to be a Tory one for a very long time that's for sure! 😁

Something like 'Cats all in a flap' maybe - referencing all the scaremongering threads/posts and Starmer's cat-flap issues at No 10??

ilovesooty · 03/09/2024 22:41

Has there been a photo of the new cat yet, or a name? I expect Larry to take it in his stride. After all there's Jo Jo already.

newnamethanks · 03/09/2024 22:42

O, it's wearing isn't it? Bring on the tax raising.

Larry has tweeted that the new cats/kittens are going to be answering to him I hear

I know this but really it’s annoying now - basically I don’t like this dogfight stuff

It's more dog collar and leash than dogfight: I'm being very naughty. Victimise me. Tell me you're better than me. Be mean to me. Call me names.

It's the masochism that the Tory Party are famous for.Wink

Rummly · 03/09/2024 22:50

BustingBaoBun · 03/09/2024 22:39

Well... There's not going to be a Tory one for a very long time that's for sure! 😁

On MN that is certainly true.

Apart from the private school threads. Or the fuckwit rioter sympathisers. If those count as non-Labour threads. And I’ve been on those threads to tell the St Cakes VAT whingers and the morons who condone fire starters and thugs that they’re fools.

But there are plenty of people generally who like to ridicule Labour without having less attractive self-interests.

Your party’s in power now.

Oh look, apparently means testing the winter fuel allowance was Badenoch’s idea.

Well that's interesting!
