Most of your comments here to me have come off as "probably sarcastic" as I can't view them with any seriousness, so I suppose I should have just done the same with that one, too. Sorry I took it to be meretricious - won't make that mistake again.
Okay... this post, you said:
You are right that older people do suffer more due to cuts - I tried making that point to you in regards to services. You didn't seem to care about the shortage of workers later in life.
Secondly though (not as a question) but as a statement you said "let's not forget who trashed our economy". You did not put it as a question but as a statement, with emphasis, then answered your own statement with "Christ!".
That implies that you believe that Christ trashed the economy.
When you first posted as much I took pity on you (we all make typographical and grammatical errors, me more so than most) and decided not to call you out on it. Than when Ianch99 did, instead of just issuing a Mea culpa you denied the fact that it was an error and are now trying to make it look like you intended it come out that way.
You got it wrong, no big deal. Instead of just brushing it off though, you are making it out like everyone else is in the wrong.
You are the one who accused me of using the same language as Nazi Sympathizers...
You seem very eager to dish it out but can't stomach the response in return. Only most of ours have merit, yours is just the latest absurdity of the day.
You can go back to comparing the rest of us to Hitler / Nazi appeasers in the mean time...while claiming that it is nothing personal, and playing the victim, all at one go. |
Oh, no Chloé, you are under a big misapprehension there. I have never intended to be rude to you, but it seems that my humour has been interpreted as scornful berating, so I apologise for that, but I'm still not sure what you meant by bad grammar! No worries, let's move on.
Of course I am concerned by the potential shortage of workers in this country, but that won't be the fault of Brexit, it will be the fault of that ridiculous policy to reduce immigration to the tens of thousands. Theresa May was landed with that one by Cameron and now has to diplomatically extracate herself from it. Immigration should be restricted to those we need to fill our vacancies where we have a skills or labour shortage - that's what is important.
As for my 'Christ' comment, that was a word to express exasperation that people were already forgetting that Labour was responsible for not keeping sufficient balances in the budget to whether the economic storm. You must know that I was not blaming Him for our misfortune.
I really was not comparing you with Nazi sympathisers, either! That is taking things way to personally, and I would not think that of you from what I know of you so far. The comparison was with the way of thinking (ie negative and defeatist, as opposed to positive and thrusting), so sorry for that upset also, it was not intended.
I think you are misunderstanding me, from what I can gather from your posts. We are all entitled to our opinions of course, but the reason I am coming on strong is because there is a relentless number of posts indicating the worst possible scenario for Brexit, and it is just not true. I am merely pointing out that there is an alternative view which is by no means dystopian, but a venture into a brave new world.

Leave means leave peeps!

Yes, with different arrangements in place to protect the things we value.
The EU way is not the only way.

That doesn't mean we will get the worst case scenario, though, does it? C'mon, lighten up!
