I’d like to think your sentiments were genuine .

[ToraToraTora]

they are, anne, during this crisis I think it's important to focus on the common problem rather than our petty differences. TBH I only ever considered MB to be doing the best he can for his side. My main critique was always our own side pre 12/12.

[jim360]

Thanks for clarifying, TTT. I confess I too was cynical about your motivation, but I'm glad I waited to see what else you had to add before passing judgement.

12.18 Good post Mr TTT. I'm in complete agreement.

[ToraToraTora]

unlike some I have largely suspended political point scoring for the time being. We face a serious situation and I hope we are all on the same side.

TTT, I admire your post here, in such adverse times wouldn’t it be better if the snide remarks were put on hold and see us all pull together in the face of the unknown?
I too won’t be posting anything political, this is just not the time to be scoring points either, I hope Mr Barnier recovers quickly , I wish him well

[ichkeria]

In the spirit of togetherness, I agree.
FWIW I did think Tora was genuine

Ich, I am sure he is

[jim360]

On a related note, what a delightful choice of avatar.

[ToraToraTora]

I thought it appropriate for the time being jim.

I wonder what Gully had intended to say in his post. Hopefully, his intent matched the spirit of 3.

TTT I'd like to think they werent - hur hur hur

Having been on wrong end of victimism myself I note there is still no shortage of ABers ready to sniff, disapprove or assign without good reason, malign motives to other posters

I identify with you TTT ( blimey!) you have been wronged
I wondered if he were in the old aged danger group - he has suspiciously white hair .....

Impt people do croak from the diseases of the common man - Prince Albert Victor expired in the 1892 flu epidemic
and another of Victoria g-daughters in 1918

Did Joan the Fair Maid of Kent die from plague 1349 ? - or perhaps it was a queen of portugal ( or both ) - this came up a few nights ago when someone wondered if Boccaccio had the Black Death in mind when he wrote the Decameron ( yes he did)

But would you have done if Jeremy Corbyn had been running the country ?

[ToraToraTora]

yes I would.

[Bobbisox1]

Howay now Canary , that’s more than hypothetical now, lol

So, "Down with, erm, someone for, erm, something."

(Don't want to be partisan whilst the bombers are overhead.)

Oh knees up muvver brahn!

[jim360]

I suppose that means I should look forward to the return of the smug Farage face!

[Peter Pedant]

yes I agree TTT ( o mi god there is something really wrong with me - corona madness perhaps ) you have been suspended, apprehended and upended
whilst -others who bleat they are victims - use it as a cover to kick bite and spit at their usual blameless targets. I sympathise - no names no names

poor M. Barnier - I hope no one is feeding him ibuprofen
Get well soon Monsewer !
