The Tories

[Margaret Pilkington]

Mancie, Just for your information......John and I are of the same era.
We have a lot of life experiences in common......he is not a well man....I was a nurse.....so are you telling me that I cannot be friends to John because he has had (in the past) active links to the tory party??? Is that really what you are saying?
You are amazing! And not in a good way.
I do not choose my friends for their political leanings.......or any other leanings. I choose to be friends to people because we have things in common.
My links with Garinda are different......I am one of his internet 'mothers'.......(I hope you don't mind G)

[Margaret Pilkington]

Oh just an aside, Mancie.........why don't you have a read at my blog...especially the couple about poverty........it will give you some idea of why I support no political part or dogma.

Being poor. - Accrington Web

there is a link for you.

Not at all.

Though I regard you more as a big sister.

Someone I look up to, because you have common sense, and more experience than myself, and who is therefore wiser.

Also you act as a self-censor, when I'm tempted to use inappropriate language, because I know you don't approve.

Quite honestly there's no one on here I don't like on here.

That'd be daft.

Just because we may have differing opinions, doesn't mean anyone's right or wrong, good or bad.

I like Mancie. He is intelligent. Though his attacks sometimes disappoint me, if they seem unprovoked.

I think doing this undermines much of the well observed points he makes.

Still, typical blinkered politico, so what more can we expect?

Its marvelous really that only two people keep this thread going one in Scotland and another in London, this thread is now 513 posts long, not the longest every but quite substantial, its just a little funny that the people directly involved in labour politics have had very little or nothing to say (I ain't trawling back through the whole thread).

The most hilarious thing that has come out of this thread is people trying to pigeonhole others if they even dare to disagree with their left wing rantings, it may have worked in the 60s and 70s but it don't anymore

Isn't that like when you wrote to the press, labelling this forum as a place of 'vile and vicious attacks' against the then Tory Leader of the council?

Or is it different, if people 'dare to disagree' with someone's right-wing views?

[garinda]

Personally I see great similarities between those who blindly support their chosen political party.

Be that Conservative, Labour, or that party led by that 'nice' Nick Clegg.

It's like supporting a football team.

Since they started following them they may have moved grounds, had umpteen different managers, totally new players, and be playing in a different league...but they'll still faithfully support them, and rubbish any opposing team, regardless.

I had to use the Obs at that time because I couldn't call you to your face like I do now

[Margaret Pilkington]

G...that is a damn fine analogy!
And I see myself as your mother because you and my daughter could be brother and sister....your ages are very close. Besides, sons take more notice of their mothers than they do of their big sister(or that is my experience of life anyway).

Wouldn't know about that Margaret, never had a big sister, or brother for that matter

[Margaret Pilkington]

The analogy was about the football...the other comment was just to let G know why I feel more like his mother than his big sister.

Me?



I had no idea you meant it was I myself, who was attacking your little pal in a 'vile and vicious' manner.

Notice you never supplied any evidence posted on here, to back up your claims...as of yet.

Rereading the thread it seems as if there was very little support for the labels you were happy to attach, to those you saw as playing for the 'opposing team'.

EvidenceI'd be typing for ever, Britcliffe has had more threads on Accy Web attacking him and anybody else, some of it legitimately others NOT, but when one persons opinion is seen as an attack by some one else, your never going to win

See, this is were the political blindness comes in.

I have never, ever attacked Peter Britcliffe.

I'll totally admit I have attacked some of his proposed ideas, and policy decisions.

Indeed I've often posted my liking of him on a personal level, and have even defended him on here.

I'd love to see evidence proving otherwise.

Certainly evidence that differs greatly from the personal insults made by some on here, aimed at someome from 'the other team'.

Mainly their player, one Graham Jones.
