Political language. What helps, what doesnt ??

[Pale Rider]

Why not start one to praise them, either collectively or individually? Is there a single minister that non-partisan people could point to and say yes, they have integrity and are on top of their brief?

Non-partisan people couldn't give much of a stuff anyway, so we are left with the wearisomely predictable slagging off of the government by those who didn't vote for it.

Yet another thread descends into serial abuse of the government.

You've already got a thread moaning about Brexit, a thread moaning about the government's response to Covid, and a thread to moan about the Tory party.

Do you really want another one?

Dull, dull, dull.

Keep focused PR... there was I faithfully on topic discussing the merits of specific words applicable to politics today... even happily being pilloried on my syntax.

PS John Smith- he was the best PM we never had [sorry, couldn't help myself].

Is that a “no”?

I take my lessons in de-escalatory political rhetoric from Mark Francois and Priti Patel. Among others.

Is there anything positive to say about this Parliament- ie the whole thing- especially in its handling of:
1. our exit from the EU,
2. the Covid-19 pandemic [other than the vaccination roll-out and the volunteers who ran the programme],
3. the social care reform programme,
4. the management of refugees and the population's perception of refugees.

Doh, you got me off topic [again]...

That explains a lot..

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.

Difficult as it may be for you to comprehend but this forum is not all about you, no matter how important that makes you feel. Interesting that you even refer to yourself in the third person.
I think it's about time to change your avatar to another more relevant actor Wesley Snipes.

Perhaps an on topic post might help?

Any chance?

It's you and the other posters who keep on making posts about what I do.

Down to you, pure and simple.

If we're talking about honest and decent....well you know my answer.

Maybe, just maybe, there's a link between what you do and why posters post about it.

Since NACA was cast off from the main CC the posts that have made me consider whether we need a Report button are yours and some of Shep's.

I'm more than happy to ignore all of it , from now on.

If only everyone else would do that too, your forumming life would be soo much nicerer, right ??

Mine too, but I’d be happy if someone could persuade me that I’m wrong.
