Hooray - the Conservatives won the election!

Several people on GN made posts saying something like " Hooray - the Conservatives won the election! "

I'd like to ask if they, or anyone else who agrees with them, have seen the film "I, Daniel Blake" and, if so, have they any comment to make?

People who were not happy when the Conservatives won the election, please do not post on this thread.

In any thesaurus you will find nickname and alias are synonyms.

How did Corbyn lie about Brexit?

Anniebach Fri 18-Nov-16 15:01:12

Beam, does not GN ask for a nickname not an alias ?

Anniebach Fri 18-Nov-16 14:59:45

I am sticking to my principles, I voted for Corbyn mistakenly thinking he was as loyal to the labour as I am.

I did not know he led a campaign to bring back militants who had been excluded from the Labour Party, he did this in full knowledge it was militancy and far left ideals which cost labour the biggest loss of seats in a general election. Whilst grassroots members struggled for fourteen years to bring bsck voters trust in labour this man was working against us.

He then lied about Brexit .

He appointed that woman to investigate the anti semitism allegations and rewarded her with a seat in the lords, she had been a member for just s few months, many believe it to be a secret agreement, I do not know if it was but I am on the side of an agreement .

He only appears at momentum rallies where he is not at risk of hecklers

He is a hypocrite and I can no longer support him when he is putting his own agenda before the good of the party

Scottie, were you on GN last year when Annie was saying she was voting for Corbyn?
How is that sticking to her principles?

She has changed from voting for Corbyn to denigrating him, just like some of us turned from voting for Blair to not voting for him.
Why does that make Annie sticking to her principles and the rest of us not doing so?

How can an abbreviated name be an alias when it is the same name? Now Eric Blair who became George Orwell is an alias.

JessM Fri 18-Nov-16 13:58:24

Of course an abbreviated name is an alias. What is not to get? Would Fred or Joe not be aliases? An abbreviated name only becomes a non alias if everyone knows the person or of the person e.g Nye, Becks, Boris.

No Corbynite here thinks hiding behind a glass door to be strange behaviour or seems troubled that this man they want for PM sequels 'harassment ' when asked his views on an early election and allows a woman to hide his face from a camera

Beammeupscottie Fri 18-Nov-16 12:58:58

Definitely. Nor, lesbians. Remember Angela Eagle saying, when she asked him for take any kind of action, he just gave a sweet smile and said nothing.
Trump would have him for breakfast. The Dali Lama would have him for breakfast.

I think Corbyn prefers women around him because he can't deal well with men.

Eloethan Fri 18-Nov-16 11:36:37

Given Clinton's seedy and dishonest behaviour, and the spectacle he made of himself and his family, I would have thought he is the last person to laugh at or pass comment on politicians or anybody else.

Beammeupscottie Fri 18-Nov-16 10:54:52

I have never seen him with a group of young men. Anyone?

Anniebach Fri 18-Nov-16 10:46:05

I wish they wouldn't behave like Trumps henchmen

trisher Fri 18-Nov-16 10:26:39

Isn't it interesting that a number of people have castigated the team that surrounds Corbyn because they are women. Why shouldn't they be? Surely we should see the fact that women are playing a leading part in the party, and that it is not, as is traditional young men surrounding a leading politician, as a positive step.

Perhaps Bill Clinton is feeling a bit jealous, there can't be many young women now who would want to be associated with him.

Beammeupscottie Fri 18-Nov-16 10:15:30

What a pathetic bunch. How can anyone expect a man who looks frightened and has to hide behind a group of women to run a Country?
This man is making this Country look ridiculous.

Bill Clinton was laughing at the man the Labour Party has pulled off the streets to lead them.

Beam grin

Beammeupscottie Fri 18-Nov-16 10:04:28

Or Post-truth!

Anniebach Fri 18-Nov-16 09:56:25

Thank you Beam, some cannot accept truth

Anniebach Fri 18-Nov-16 09:55:05

Rosesarered , think Corbyns protection team covering his face as he ran from a reporter and hid behind a glass door, you are seeing the same here .

Seems there is now an eleventh commandment, Corbyn is above criticism and must be praised at all times

Anniebach Fri 18-Nov-16 09:44:09

Jess, why on earth would I want to know who you are , you are not and never will be any part of my life . I never look at profiles will leave that sort of thing to people like you, I have many healthy interests .

Since when has a shortened name been an alias ?

Beammeupscottie Fri 18-Nov-16 09:32:42

Get behind JC and disciples! You mean like shuffling up the line of lemmings to the cliff edge.

At least AB has the courage of her convictions; which I much admire. Not blind loyallty - some people would support a party leader if it was a chimpanzee.

Didn't they once hang a chimp(for treason) in Hartlepool?

JessM Fri 18-Nov-16 09:06:41

Yes you are using an alias Anniebach. Unless you have a public profile on GN that I have not seen.
My identity is not a secret on GN. If you want to know who I am then I think you could find out in about 2 minutes flat. I have reservations about online anonymity as it can easily create an online culture in which people write things they would never say in a real world public place. I understand though that that some people might wish to discuss personal matters without revealing their identity.

rosesarered Fri 18-Nov-16 09:04:42

The Tories have a huge lead over Labour at the moment btw.

rosesarered Fri 18-Nov-16 09:02:46

JessM what on earth is your point? We ALL use an alias on here, and even if you don't do, there must be a lot of Jess's out there, so nobody knows who or where you are.
We are all free to attack or defend anybody on the public stage, or to agree or disagree with each other on this forum.That includes saying what we think about Corbyn.

durhamjen Fri 18-Nov-16 00:05:08

Read what I said again, Annie. I said most posters use an alias, and that's why we can write what we do. Didn't accuse anyone of anything. Kind of you to accept what my real name is.

Why can you not just give up and support the party again, as Jess said many of the party are?
