Is that Emily a troll?

LumelaMme · 29/01/2016 14:24

Write 50 lines to self:
I will not engage: she never answers my questions
I will not engage: I haven't the time to waste
I will not engage: I've been over all of this ground before

LongWayRound I agree, I never used to read right wing press, but I'm annoyed with how some of more left wing press are reporting these issues, so now I feel I've got to read a whole range, including papers who I know are sensationalising things, its hard to know who to trust anymore

DespicableBee · 29/01/2016 14:28

If you ignore her she goes away, she can't deal with not getting attention

Wordsaremything · 29/01/2016 14:28

Wow what a barn storming speech. There was genuine passion behind it - nothing faux about it I thought. Why is it just him? We need to persuade him to speak out here!

GraceKellysLeftArm · 29/01/2016 14:30

DespicableBee Psssst! Some of us "right-wingers" read the whole gamut of press/media to acquire as much info as possible to analyse ourselves rather than being dictated to the agenda of others. Wink

DespicableBee · 29/01/2016 14:30

Yes we need to persuade Dave Davies to talk in public

LumelaMme · 29/01/2016 14:30

D'you suppose MN would have him on for one of those webchat things (old glimmer here, never been involved in one)? If MN would, d'you think he'd do it?

I MUST do some work!

SonyaAtTheSamovar · 29/01/2016 14:31

I think maybe not automatically believing that a big hulking man who shaves daily is 14 years old contravenes his human rights or makes one a racist or both.

Who knew, eh? Memo to self: must keep up with trends in social justice.

Wordsaremything · 29/01/2016 14:39

Lume ! oldglimmer Grin I'm definitely one of those! Still flickering on!

LumelaMme · 29/01/2016 14:43

Gah!
0/10 for spelling today!

I quite like it as a term, though... I was so pleased this morning when I used that new-fangled 3G thing to look up a phone number when dog walking, and then phoned it.

old glimmer pride

Anyway, back on topic, shall we ask MN about a web chat?

emilybohemia · 29/01/2016 14:43

Grace, saying it isn't a refugee crisis but an infiltration is wrong and nonsensical and quite horrifying. I am appalled to see views like this, that assert that the refugees are actually some sort of hostile invasion, go unchallenged on Mumsnet.

I highly doubt what you say about Norway is true either.

Lumela Many thanks for the video of Davies he is an very good speaker and challenged a lot of thinking. I am glad he talked about the Enlightenment philosophers. He is Welsh. Good speaker. Well done to you emailing him.

GraceKellysLeftArm · 29/01/2016 14:46

MN won't host David Davies as it is diametrically opposed to their political persuasions. :(

disengage

januarybrown1998 · 29/01/2016 14:47

Lumela yes definitely - how do we go about that?

I think he's wonderful (inapproriate old glimmer)

januarybrown1998 · 29/01/2016 14:48

Grace absolutely. Grin

Wordsaremything · 29/01/2016 14:52

I think a web chat v good idea. Do we just email mumsnet hq?

( totally off topic - just bought one of those new-fangled light bulbs of only 25 watts - glimmers as brightly as its 40 watt cousins. -oldglimmeramazement)

LumelaMme · 29/01/2016 14:53

I think he's wonderful too. Blush

I dunno how we approach MN (old-glimmering again); maybe if you - January, that is - report my post and ask if they will, and meanwhile I will email David D and see if he'd be up for it?

I'll email him now...

LumelaMme · 29/01/2016 14:58

David Davies emailed.
Can someone contact HQ?

LumelaMme · 29/01/2016 15:01

God alive.
David Davies has emailed back:
'I definitely would'

Anyone else remember letters? This email business...

VertigoNun · 29/01/2016 15:05

I liked David Davies passion. Smile He is following Tory party line at the same time.Hmm

As much as Jess Phillips has now managed to make people believe Birmingham is a no go area hundreds of men raping and inserting fingers into vaginas apparently her other words were lost, shame really.

VertigoNun · 29/01/2016 15:06

Tell David Davies Kate Green from Labour emailed me to say she communicated she's interested in a mn webchat too.

VertigoNun · 29/01/2016 15:08

How are signatures for the EDM going?

januarybrown1998 · 29/01/2016 15:10

Lumela reported and requested, sah!

Next?
