RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - WakeyTerrier - 04-05-2016
Never said you had slagged anyone off. I said we should have a politics board so we can slag each other off.
Just didn't see the point of posting the following when someone questioned your post about Orgreave

RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - Amelia Chaffinch - 04-05-2016
Well, honestly, after all the things that I have been called on this forum and I get pulled up for Thatcherite. That just about sums up this place. It is a word. It is what some people believe. SCO went on to say that he is not. I have not pursued it because I accept what he says on the subject because I do respect his views. But, if you think it is unacceptable behaviour, I apologise. It really is beyond belief that I get criticised for this.
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - ritchiebaby - 04-05-2016
I'm adding this as a small aside and certainly not a criticism of anyone's personal or political beliefs. No-one should feel the need to reply individually, but I would find it very interesting to find out the percentage of people who criticise Thatcherite policies, yet bought their council houses at a huge discount or bought shares in British Gas, etc and later profited from the transactions.
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - Amelia Chaffinch - 04-05-2016
None of the above. Didn't have a council house and bought no utility shares, neither did my parents. We were wary of their quick fix money-making schemes.
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - St Charles Owl - 04-05-2016
I never had a council house but I did get shares in some of the utilities and various share offers that were offered. Made money on them as well!! As regards the Thatcherite term, that doesn't bother me and as Amelia said I am sure we have all been called far worse than that in our time!!! I never voted for her but in all honesty if she was running now with the state Britain is in I would give it serious consideration if she was up against any of the political leaders currently on offer!!! Could be worse though, the Yanks have an election coming up where the choice will be either Hillary or The Donald, now thats a choice no one should ever have to make!!!!
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - Amelia Chaffinch - 04-05-2016
I would never vote for her but that's a no shit, Sherlock kind of statement.

Thatcherite is a word like Blairite or Corbynite.
It's amazing how we are all able to live in peace with all these different political views and football views.

I suppose thats one of the beauties of the democracy we were lucky enough to be born in!! We can all have opinions and views without the fear of retribution simply because of them!! Of course there are examples of extremism with regards to violence against a person because of an opinion but on the whole we get to say what we think!!

I don't mind debating with someone if they have a different view or opinion to mine and I will respect there opinions even though I might not necessarily agree with it, its when they state that there view or opinion is fact and everyone else is wrong.

Well when we vote for Brexit, the "Posh Boy" will stand aside, and Boris will step up. So when Trump does the unthinkable......What a special relationship that's gunna be!
