Political language. What helps, what doesnt ??

[Bromptonaut]

More personal sniping garbage.

Ms Rayner made the type of remarks I'd expect to hear from some of the NACAs on here, yet she's supposed to be a deputy leader of a credible political party.

There's no getting away from the crass stupidity of that.

Some people reacted wholly inappropriately, but regrettably that's social media for you.

I would happily dispense some Daily Mail justice to them, but simply observing Rayner is ignorant is no more than a statement of fact.

It's not a snipe but a response to the tone and content of what you've posted on this thread. Use of pejorative quotes and the clear implication that she is to blame.

It's not just a Twitter spat, the man sentenced yesterday sent emails containing the c-bomb and threatening her and her family. She was accused of having David Amess's murderer as her poster boy and carrying responsibility for the death of an Englishman.

Others threatened her by phone, again referring to her family.

As I've told you, if you have a poke at me you will likely get one back.

The answer is in your hands.
...

In your mind, you are clear that the pokes you give other people are only ever in response to pokes they give you.

I'm not sure that is quite as clear to outside observers. They perhaps just see, in aggregate, someone who frequently criticises others for playing the man not the ball, but frequently appears to do just that himself.

Let's have some evidence, or is this just yet another worthless false assertion from you, and yet another comment on my posting style?

Any chance of a post on topic?

Even one of your wearisomely worthy virtue signalling borefests would be an improvement.

No personal sniping to see here folks

Just a few choice brick bats from The Clint School of Charm.

The current Cabinet are the scum of the earth.... scum in the sense that impurities always rise to the top.

I might not choose the same words, but the sentiment i do agree with .

When a 'leftie' politician uses some rather strong language in response to the outrages, sins of omission, and comission, perpetrated by our current administration , they might not be altogether advisable terms , but all the same it would very much appear her feelings, and concerns are sincere.

And anyone even mildly paying attention can see she has a point.

However she's not punching down at her targets, is she??

The average Tory Jibe however, agin the immigrants, the poor, the 'scroungers' the gays, the women, the foreigners, the woke, those living with disabilities, the less advantaged..

Relentlessly punching down, bullying, belittling.

The saddest part though, is how many 'ordinary' people will join in with that nasty narrative.

Yeah, seems to me the mask is slipping a bit😀

Yes, an almost perfect example of having a mote in one's eye.

Have you always been this thin skinned? Why is it so hard to accept that someone disagreeing with you isn’t automatically ’sniping’ and that they simply don’t share your opinion?

There is a difference which anyone with any intelligence can spot.

Thin skinned? Please don't tell me you think I give much of a toss about all the whining and bleating replies to my posts.

Every post I've made in NACA for nine years has been disagreed with - it doesn't bother me one bit.

But I won't always tolerate personal snipes, and as I keep on saying, will return fire if I feel like it.

Is there any chance you can make a post on topic?

I appreciate you are far more interested in sniping at me, but try to be just a little grown up for a change.

Snipe, snipe, snipe.

You have no answer to my posts on topic do you?

Instead, let's take it in turns to snipe at Pale Rider and pat each other on the back for it, turning the thread into a cretinous little echo chamber.

Brilliant, well done.

I'm sure three, or maybe as many as four, people will be impressed.

1) Plenty of evidence as all we need to do is look back at your posts.

2) You're one of the biggest offenders for diverting topics off thread. It's simply because you don't want to be reminded of the fact that 'Build Back Better' isn't quite going as planned and that embarrasses you.

3) What was it you were saying about sniping?

It's a feature of debate nowadays across the political spectrum. People now think that if others diasagree with them, they hate them or it's a personal attack.

Far too much reading!

Not at all a snipe, just a mildly humourous observation.

But your snarling invective, and personally directed negativity. ??

That of course is entirely reasonable in the eyes of anyone intelligent right?

And who would that be
Exactly ?

Of course this all goes along with the supposedly beleagured 'maverick outsider'


'Sticking up for the side of the rightists, against the plague of limp and lily livered leftists'

Schtick

It's all wearing dreadfully thin Tbh.

Anyway, you totally don't care what anyone thinks, because clearly your opinions are absolutely the very last word in perspicacity.

Despite over half the time nothing much is actually said, except for you expressing your own view that everyone else is stupid, or ignorant, or moaning or whinging..

Same old Tory bore rhetoric, looking down on anyone with even slightly progressive views.

Nothing new to see here.

Far too much reading!

You're quite right Shep.
Wayyy too many words.

Have you come to liven things up with a fun cartoon, instead.?

I mean I started this thread to talk about the language used in political exchange.

What helps, what doesn't..

But could it be we're on the wrong tack altogether.??

Maybe everyone should be communicating via other means?

Flamenco dancing perhaps?? 💃 💃💃💃

OK, whatever makes you happy. You should know that it makes you appear more like Trump than Eastwood, but if that’s the look you’re aiming for, crack on.

I doubt they really give a s**t about what people call them, they keep winning the vote. 🤣

Willing to take the cuts and higher taxes as long as someone else is worse off,not because it's bettering us.
Brexit.....willing to lose freedoms as long as someone else loses more.
Winning is such a odd term to use 🙄
