To think that some left-wing supporters are just so NASTY

This is based on posts I have read on here and a couple of very vocal left-wing friends I have on facebook.
I have truly never read a Conservative supporter personally attacking Labour in the same way.
I find it astonishing and if I am honest, a bit childish.
Recent examples include a website pulling Teresa May's living room apart and costing out every single thing in it, to a chorus of comments along the lines of how can she sleep at night when children are hungry and she has a £25 candle.
Every time the subject is raised on here, there is a long thread of hysterical comments about how nasty the Tories are. Yes, Tory supporters state their case and answer back, but they seem to be able to do it in a more restrained, mature manner than outraged Labour screamers.
There seems to be a lot of personal bile aimed at Teresa May, which I am at a loss to understand - just what has she done that is so terrible?
She is pushing through Brexit, but that was what the country voted for. Is she supposed to go against the country's wishes?
All of Labour's policies look very lovely, but none have any substance at all. My friend recently stated on Facebook she was supporting Jeremy Corbyn because he wanted peace not war. And? How is he going to implement that then? It reminds me of the 1980s T-shirts stating War is Stupid. Lots of nice words, but to implementation strategies.
It amazes me that supposedly intelligent people seem to be so brainwashed by this nonsense and think that flinging mud is an appopriate way to behave.
Is it just me?

I got them from the House of Commons briefing paper on UK Prison Population Statistics, Number SN/SG/04334, 20 April 2017.

I really doubt they are wrong.

IAmAmy · 23/04/2017 02:03

They are wrong.

IAmAmy · 23/04/2017 02:05

Anyway I should have been in bed ages ago so I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight.

Dannythechampion · 23/04/2017 02:06

So why would the most up to date information, collated by the Prison service and presented to MPs for their use be wrong? And what information do you have to prove it wrong?

You can't just say "Its wrong".

StillHungryy · 23/04/2017 02:09

This is the 3/4th thread I've seen Amy being rude and aggressive, or goading for answers. her pursuit to insistently paint Eastern Europeans as criminals seems somewhat racist.

StillHungryy · 23/04/2017 02:12

"It's a fact. You can't disprove facts."

Unless you decide official statistics don't suite your agenda and then you just plainly have to say they're wrong Danny and suddenly...they are!

HelenaDove · 23/04/2017 02:12

Third or fourth? Blimey.

Dannythechampion · 23/04/2017 02:12

Well as said, the data doesn't back her claims, nor does the data from Germany or Sweden back the claims of people regarding increased levels of rape and refugees.

What do we want? Evidence based policy!

When do want it? After peer review!

CopperRose · 23/04/2017 02:14

Usual tactics deployed.
Quelle surprise.

StillHungryy · 23/04/2017 02:14

3/4th this week* starting with the one she made which would normally be seen as a troll thread to goad people into replying about marrying well, and admitted it by pming someone and got somewhat abusive when they outed her

HelenaDove · 23/04/2017 02:16

I wonder if they would still be on here if it was a male poster behaving like that.

Dannythechampion · 23/04/2017 02:16

Which tactics would those be Copper?

HelenaDove · 23/04/2017 02:16

Oh i forgot about the marrying well thread. Ive had a lot going on this week.

IAmAmy · 23/04/2017 02:18

starting with the one she made which would normally be seen as a troll thread to goad people into replying about marrying well, and admitted it by pming someone and got somewhat abusive when they outed her

A thread made mocking the thread "tell our daughters to marry well". Which worked as when it was someone ostensibly saying she wanted to do this, everyone was queuing up to say how ridiculous it was. Please don't claim I got "abusive" either, that's just trying to taint me knowing the thread has been deleted Smile

IAmAmy · 23/04/2017 02:19

I wonder if they would still be on here if it was a male poster behaving like that.

What have I done which is so horrific? Report me if you think it's that bad Hmm

StillHungryy · 23/04/2017 02:24

So you didn't reply " fucking grass" and I believe other posts that I can't remember fully admittedly. This was after lying that you had sent her a pm, and tbh I stopped reading shortly after that because as I said on another thread. I can't be bothered to enter into discussion with someone who says things just to goad answers. Also on the thread to marry well, many said that they wouldn't as that's a bad idea and they should marry for love,teach them to be strong and independent unless you cross referenced each poster with their stance on each thread you can't make any conclusion.

And you start Grady threads and are consistently rude to posters

HelenaDove · 23/04/2017 02:24

"Please don't claim I got "abusive" either, that's just trying to taint me knowing the thread has been deleted"

And this is why i dont always agree with deleting threads. It makes it too easy to rewrite history.

IAmAmy · 23/04/2017 02:27

So you didn't reply " fucking grass" and I believe other posts that I can't remember fully admittedly.

Nope. I rarely swear. I said "grass" with Wink afterwards to show it was a light hearted comment - now you paint me as abusive. "Consistently rude to posters" if you say so, I'm usually pretty deferential other than when I'm attacked or belittled.

HelenaDove · 23/04/2017 02:27

Just got this pm from Amy.

From:IAmAmyTo:HelenaDoveSubject:I'm sure...Date:Sun 23-Apr-17 02:20:31
You don't give a shit about the boys who post rape jokes, rape memes, make lists of girls they know including me in terms of who they "would rape". Yet me making some posts you don't agree with is awful..

IAmAmy · 23/04/2017 02:28

But since you both have such an issue with me just report me and if you're both right I'll surely get banned. Anyway I'm going to bed now as I said I was about half an hour ago FFS.

IAmAmy · 23/04/2017 02:29

I don't want to get banned mind you, this is my favourite place on the internet.

Dannythechampion · 23/04/2017 02:29

Go to bed Amy,

Luv from all the mums on mumsnet x

HelenaDove · 23/04/2017 02:31

That pm you sent me is utter bollocks I have an extensive posting history of standing up for women on here.

Do not accuse me of being a misogynist when i am anything but. Get yourself some help Amy because by God you need it.

You send me a PM like that and you expect us to believe you care about women. Dream on!

IAmAmy · 23/04/2017 02:31

HelenaDove wow you can copy and paste PMs. In reference to you saying "I wonder if a male poster would be kept on". I presume you are trying to impress the other two active on this thread.

IAmAmy · 23/04/2017 02:32

Get yourself some help Amy because by God you need it.

Hmm
