Gina Miller case thrown out bet that's wiped the smile off her smug face.

Exactly GrandmaKT.....well put.

I think putting people on ignore would be going down a dangerous route. Facebook algorithms already mean that posters see more of the type of article/post that they have interacted with. People are having their opinions/ pre-conceptions reinforced and not seeing the opposite view. This is partly the reason (imho) that we are seeing such entrenched positions over Brexit.

Thank you mcem and I would say that it is mutual, and I always read your posts too.

Not quite my point lemon.
I rarely agree with your posts but always find them reasonable and coherent. I would not block yours.
However when a particular poster has established a recognisable pattern of nastiness, I'd happily shut her out.
Unfortunately, if that poster then wrote an interesting, albeit controversial contribution, I would miss it.
That's a risk I'd be willing to take.

Do some people have to create opportunities to clutch their pearls?

misogynistic

No, it's because of the confrontational, mysogynistic, aggressive tone of the thread title - but given that GM is loathed by the more extreme Leavers it comes as no surprise.

It does amaze me that posters want to ‘block’ seeing any posts they don’t agree with.
Also, it seems that anything goes ( in thread titles or otherwise) if it’s aimed at a politician/celeb that a poster doesn’t like.
If they do like them.....then it’s called ‘unpleasant’.?

Hang on! Is this the same John Major who did exactly the same for three weeks in 1997 in order that the cash for questions report wouldn't see the light of day before a GE? This report could potentially have wrecked his chances of success, so best it was kept sensibly, but deceitfully under wraps till after the GE was in the bag!!! His hypocrisy takes your breath away!!

Firecracker ?Yes, must admit I thought much the same on hearing that.Miller has been one of those high profile people
Doing their level best to keep us in the EU.

Hard to see that even with an appeal she will succeed.

☺

Why wasn't the thread title about wiping the smug smile off John Major's face?

Does anyone know about NI? Just to get back on topic.

I have asked for an "ignore" facility many times mcem, but apparently we are not going to get it.

Firecracker You sound in a bit of a panic. Calm down dear.

Yes, a very unpleasant thread title.

My goodness - what a nasty thread title.

Yet another unpleasant thread heading..

Aggressive and deliberately provocative, from someone who denies that she writes rabid and ranting posts and claims to be just a nice granny who only worries about her DGC.

I know we've been told we can't have an edit
button but how about being able to block posters?

I watched her statement; she was her usual measured self. That's both the Scottish and English cases going to higher courts. I think I read a similar case had been raised in the Northern Irish courts. Does anyone know how that is progressing.

She has leave to appeal to the Supreme Court Firecracker so perhaps you should wipe the smile off your own face.

Even if she loses, the more publicity about Boris Johnson’s arrogance and disregard for the principles of representative democracy the better.

The court has already agreed to pass her case up to the Court of Appeal.
