To(i)let or not to (i) let, that is the question.

It isn’t ok, but she hasn’t done it on this thread.

What’s astonished me about the defending of her is her many examples of superciliously correcting people’s spelling. I thought that wasn’t considered OK?

It’s actually been an interesting thread when it stayed on topic, which is a surprise really.?

What rubbish suziewoozie.... defended because she is ‘right of centre’. Any defending going on is because she has not said anything horrible to other posters but just started a thread that was meant to be lighthearted.So what if she once stated on another thread some time ago that she had given 50k to a political party ( shrug ) and it was a joke.
I agree with what maggie has just written .....the Spanish
inquisition indeed ( and they’re never expected)?

she’s defended because she’s right of centre

I’m certainly nowhere near right of centre, but I’d defend anyone I thought was being “got at” in real life or on here. I couldn’t give a monkey’s what they vote, how many GN mates they’ve got, or how much they’re worth.

This forum’s just a bit of a diversion for (mainly) older folk with time on their hands, not a court of law. We’re talking about flushing, or not flushing, toilets, for Pete’s sake.

Nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition.

Not only did she say that, she repeated it and explained it further ( see Maws posts). Of course had she said she had given £50k to Corbyn ....

So the OP said she gave 50 k to Farage and now says she didn't?

I don’t think the OP has been bullied at all . I do think she got caught out telling a lie(s)whether in all seriousness or joking .

I think in the main she asked for people’s comments on her actions and that’s what she got .

My point was that she's defended because she’s right of centre

Also on GN there are some contributors who are extremely wealthy, some who are really struggling and the majority of us I suspect are between the two.

Therefore fifty grand to some is not a huge amount to spend as they wish.

I do not believe that everyone who is right of centre peddles untruths. Obviously many do - Boris Johnson for instance is a proven liar .

However I believe there are many decent honest folk, including GNetters, who would describe themselves as right of centre, just as there are decent honest liberals, social democrats and socialists.

But probably much less delighted that her outright denial of having said something was so easily proved to be a lie.

It’s ridiculous bringing politics into this. So what if someone is right of centre? Good for them I say.

Exactly...and she's probably delighted by the reaction this thread has provoked.

Because she posts things which she knows to be untrue.

Because she’s right of centre? #justsaying

But getting loads of sympathy for that!
Why?
It’s worthy of some of the political leaders of today (or members of the RF)

It is unusual for a poster to deny having made one of her previous posts , accuse another poster of making things up, then when it is proven by others that she did make that boastful post, having to claim it was a joke.

No apology for accusing someone else of making things up, just an admission that nothing she posts is likely to be true.

Since she outed herself as unbelievable, there seems no point in reading any of her posts.

Thank you Boosgran .appreciated.

I completely agree with you annep1 - well said.

I completely agree with you annepl. Well said.

Thankyou Wildswan16. I appreciate that.

Annep1 thank you for saying what I was thinking.

I don't know anyone very much on Gransnet. But I do know we are all complex people. No one is all good or bad. Often there are things about other people that we can't understand. And we need to remember that.
Sometimes our actions can have harmful consequences and we can't go back and undo them. I for one, shall be extra careful how I speak to anyone from now on.

“Bullying “ (not that there was any) and GG are another example of an oxymoron, Annep1 perhaps you don’t know OP of old.
Enough already, this is irrelevant and pointless.
