Brexit and all that shite ....

[loudmouthblue]

I offered an olive branch months ago courtesy of a PM. I thought that would be the big thing to do to clean the slate. He didn’t even have decency to reply. I think that speaks volumes for the lads lack of character, so I think we know where we stand.

I did not respond as it was a hollow gesture from a shallow person, you could not even send that so called "olive branch" without sending it to the owner of this board as well, then you made a big thing of it telling everyone else after you had been ignored. If I offer any olive branch, apology or act of solace to anyone I do it in privacy because it is meant, yours wasn't and that speaks volumes for your character a nasty, manipulative, hypocritical liar who thinks he is somehow superior to everyone you interact with. I hope this lets you "know where we stand".

Once more your complete lack of self awareness is astounding. Admin was read in as they had asked for an end to the bickering. I thought I’d act the bigger person and make the first move to end it for the benefit of all on here. I was thanked for it. Sadly you didn’t have the manners, balls, nor indeed character, to respond, especially as you were equally as responsible for the ongoing argument and had plenty to apologise for.. That speaks volumes and doesn’t reflect well on you.

Unfortunately your unpleasant personality flaws and weaknesses have been exposed on here, none more so yesterday in the huge disrespect you demonstrated toward a vulnerable female who has taken her own life. You ought to be ashamed and I hope after a nights sleep you have reflected on your behaviour and find sincerity in offering an apology for it.

Why don't you two wipe the slate clean, forget all the (alleged) name calling that may have taken place in the past, and take respond to each other's posts as if they were a new poster.

The ping pong this afternoon and evening, though quite entertaining at first, has become quite tiresome.

Neither of you will believe you're at fault ....... so assume that neither of you are and start again.

That would be the "big" thing to do .............................. so I doubt you'll do it.

......well said

 

[jocklatic]

Just read yet another spat between MiW n LMB....Just a shame you BOTH can't reread Moonay's post about wiping the slate clean. IMO both at fault & as bad as each other. I find you both(LMB n MiW) to be decent posters, opinionated, dogmatic & headstrong but surely there comes a time when enough is enough. Regardless of who did / didn't offer an olive branch, who is more toxic than the other, who is / isn't the bigger person....just give it a rest please lads ( apologises if I'm being condescending btw) ...it's time to call it a day before someone seriously says something they may regret & as someone once said ....live n let live..

There was I thinking you had logged on to pay your lost wager as per my previously ignored insulting post...have you no shame you fraud ?

??????

 

[daleks.at.the.monaco]

It’s amazing what perspective and life experiences travel can bring. You ought to try it and expand your horizons, because judging by recent posts you certainty need it.

Only my recent posts then, unlike all your narrow and insular posts.

 

[daleks.at.the.monaco]

What a fucking sad individual. That thread was in condolence about the death of a vulnerable young woman. You hijacked it to spout your political propaganda. Not one word from you about her death. Not one word. You ought to go away and reflect on it and your response before you say anymore.

The piety returns

Common sense to have an Australian style points system. With exceptions for certain industries like agriculture and NHS.

It’s also welcome to encourage the best workers from across the globe. Rather than favouring EU workers.

[moonay]

Was there anything to stop those "best workers" from coming here previously Studs?

Also, just what exactly might "encourage" them to come under this scheme? Unless, of course, you're assuming that companies will have to increase salaries to this new minimum level.

Maybe Cummings will get a new Superforecaster.

The worst thing is we already had the right to send any EU migrant that wasn't in work or earning enough back home after 3 months whilst we were in the EU.
Just didn't make sense to implement it as we need low-skilled workers from the EU. Would have cost more to implement than we would gain.

So, we steal key workers from poorer countries, such as doctors and nurses from South Africa or India, without actually paying a penny for training them, and where they are urgently needed in their own countries. How patronising and how callous. What a smug cow she is.

Doesn’t matter mate, blue passports.

By George, I think he/ she has got it ( finally ).

Not yet...I think they are using their old burgundy ones up first and then when they have I'll be straight in there comrade.

Can’t believe you’re actually gloating about not being able to come up with any tangible benefits of Brexit (other than a blue passport) and having a completely inept home sec.

I'm not gloating about anything...I want a blue passport, why not just be happy for me ? I don't deny you the right to or demand reasons why you voted for the worst set of opposition politicians in several generations. It's you business...allow me the same privilege.

BTW...to clear up any confusion...are you male or female not that it matters .

Who did I vote for? And no it doesn't matter you're right

Well I'm guessing it was one of the not very good opposition parties...personally I could possibly vote for the greens in the future but I can see the Tories ruling for the next 10 years. This neither pleases or displeased me but I'm content.
