it's a shame we don't have 'respect' police. As for 'likes' if I like a post I will like it no matter who they are. Sadly we just a few sheep that a part of a 'cliquey group', who only like their own :emoticon-0119-puke: As it happens Watford, for all your rubbish, you know where to draw the line.

Sometimes it’s better to just give people enough rope to get on with it.

Not really as it comes across as a bit disrespectful to voters and fallen soldiers. I am actually sadden you got a 'like' for your post but then again when you see who liked it.... :eek::eek:
In the context of the post you mentioned 'fallen soldiers' why? please explain the relevance, rather than you just saying you don't have a problem. Sorry, but it's not a good look. Our brave armed forces give up their lives so wasters can deface statues in Whitehall that commemorates then. As I have said before I have lost 2 relatives and a lifelong friend of my partners and I find it disrespectful to try and make a cheap quip at their expense.
As Watford would be saying 'own it' rather than try worm out of it.

As a foot note
I would rather have a tattoo of a fallen soldier than some anti capitalist idiot who turns up to protesters in designer gear who then thinks is cool to smash up a MacDonalds only to walk to Waterloo and buy a Burger King. you know the type the ones who got lectured by a multi millionaire who then leaves in a rolls and on to a private helicopter.
Or
Some extinction rebellion idiot who pulls up hundreds of plants and erects them on Waterloo bridge while handing out laminate flyers. Then tries to lecture me about the climate while his mate spray paints the bridge. All this while waiting for some luvvies to fly in from LA first class because its this weeks colour orange. Or maybe witness (like I did) how these charming protestors spat in police officers face and insulted their families.
So just have a little respect for those who can't defend themselves anymore when you try to sound smart.

Ellers you seem to have fabricated this battle simply to have a bit of a barney.
You are not getting the response you wanted, so please give it a bit of a rest.

Sometimes you say informative stuff .

This was not one of them.

Beth would you please point me to any informative stuff that Ellers has ever posted, as all I can find is a mixture of bollox and drivel.
Thanks in advance

Read the first line and that was bollocks, just you trying to spin it so it looks like I’m disrespecting fallen soldiers, which I wasn’t.

So as that was total bollocks I didn’t bother reading the rest. I’m sure it was a top rant though :emoticon-0136-giggl

He was correct yesterday when he said Prince Philip had not made the comment about the baby's skin colour.

Occasionally he gets things right...


But at the moment it seems Ellers is just looking for provocative things to promote an argument.

As it is not International Women's day, and any way I am a woman.. perhaps I can suggest....
" It is just that time of the month"

Was it International Women’s Day? Someone should have mentioned it on LinkedIn.

Richard Herring has retired from answering all the twitter posts asking when international men’s day is. Just in case anyone is wondering it’s November 19th.

Seems if you are not in the ‘in crowd’ you get told to shut up. This is why I don’t bother to post on the ‘cliquey thread’. Sad as once again it only seems to go one way.
With all due respect Beth, Will tried to make a joke in post at fallen soldiers expense. It was quite clear. People need to take off their ‘rose tinted glasses’. I see there is no point trying to discuss this as I called out one of the ‘usual suspects’.silly me

If you want to play the martyr please do Ellers. If it makes you happy.

You were just extending and pushing a remark Will explained , but you would not let go..

I think everyone but you were getting a bit tired of it. There are plenty of other things to discuss...
