To be scared about the outcome of the election?

[brasty]

There have been so many attacks on disabled people, the NHS and public services. I am just scared that there will be even more after the election, if the Conservatives get in. It is seriously scary.

There is so much hyperbole on this thread, and ignoring what is actually happening already.

People don't only strike over money

The winter of discontent was about far more than money.

This manifesto sounds great to s
All those who may not remember the 70s.

Really not sure.

I am in my mid 50s. The strokes in the 70s were in a different economic climate than today when unions were strong. This is simple scare mongering.

justanotherposter I know!!
This is not how MN behave.

bratsy yes true and part of me really is quite excited that the political landscape is offering such a choice for the first time in decades but still again not sure about labours figures. Need to hear more analysis.

Think TM has done herself no favours with fox hunting and grammars though

whats the 50p army?

50 too mumsnetter for 10 year plus and never heard the term. Could you explain?

whats the 50p army

It's basically calling people trolls without openly breaking MN rules.

It's where in the Chinese Communist Party I believe, people were paid to troll and post.

No not trolls at all, posters who actively try to spread disinformation or derail arguments, its a basic technique used by those with a narrative to control or direct

Theres a couple of threads where you can tell theres 2 of them talking back and forth between each other, its almost scripted

whats the 50p army?

Anyone who isn't momentum or even people who just get hoodwinked by the evil right wing conspiracy that is the IFS

So go to MNHQ if you have proof then.

Or is it just a case of you don't agree with what they are saying?

Look whether they are being paid or volunteers, they don't act like someone who actually wants to discuss things.

Unfortunately to begin with the truly disabled people will be caught in the crossfire.

I'm curious for clarification as to what exactly was meant by this. There are some fairly unpleasant interpretations I could think of.

Brasty YANBU. Post away.

What it means is disabled people don't matter.
And by truly - they mean most who say they are disabled are lying.

As far as I know disinformation isnt against talk guidelines so calling it out when I see it probably isnt either, plenty of people on here disagree with me and I have no issue with that but its a bit to obvious to my eyes when I see the patterns these people provide, just saying, same people keep protesting loudly about how they arent

whats the 50p army?

Basically, if someone disagrees with you now on a Mumsnet politics thread they can't possible believe what they're saying and must be being paid to spread propaganda.

And thats a pattern right there, you guys really do need to co-ordinate better, just saying

So now you are calling me and others trolls. Which is basically what you have done.

Its like Trolls, you just read it and know something is not right.
Anyone who regular posts here is VERy used to being disagreed with. You wouldn't post in AIBU if you weren't.

Piglet again I will state, I DO NOT think you are a troll

Do I think you have an agenda to promote? yes I do

Piglet again I will state, I DO NOT think you are a troll

Sorry my mistake, you think I am being paid to post.

Where is your proof?
