"So you've gone from financially secure types voting for Corbyn because they aren't going to be impacted too badly, to financially secure types opposing him because they are? "

I don't think I said that no, but not sure I understand what you're saying, so any chance of clarifying?

If it helps, I was talking about youngsters moving to London and feeling they could take a risk with life ahead of them and no dependants, but middle-aged Joe in Bolsover not being so keen cos he's got kids and elderly parents to think of. This point was nothing to do with wealth - more about what you were syaing about demographics.


You said that "they're often middle-class profesional types living relatively affluent lives."

So you've gone from financially secure types voting for Corbyn because they aren't going to be impacted too badly, to financially secure types opposing him because they are?

This just comes across as you taking whatever position justifies your views that people who supported him are the problem (and absolving those that didn't), regardless of what their rationales for supporting him were.


Yeah Ulla's basically like a drunk in a fight windmilling right now.

Ah, you don't understand the word 'Proportionately’ — fair enough mr, apologies for leaving it out in the first place (lazy of me).

More apologies for the shorthand 'big cities' — I wasn’t referring to their size, more their outlook and voting behaviour in the last election.


You're all over the place mate. At least put the beer down.

I do understand the word 'proportionately.’ I have an English Language degree (don't like to brag though).

Thing is, the proportion of anywhere is irrelevant here. You've basically attested that London is middle class and thus Corbyn voters are middle class (coz lots are in London). Both of these statements are wrong. Now with 'big cities' you're referring to a city's outlook rather than its size?! What does that even mean?! Which 'big cities' are you talking about then, that you consider middle class and Corbyn-voting?

I thought we were conversing (!) and maybe moving rhe definition of those with 'skin in the game' along a little bit. Ie Older people with dependents have more at stake as do those with less financial security.

Yep, I've noticed this. Pretty blatant. When the going gets tough, the tough suddenly need to walk their dog...


Your stepping in with defamatory comments & petty insults when people disagree with you is one thing (dozens of examples of you doing this in the past) but when you have the cheek to accuse another on this thread of doing so, I draw the line. Maybe an online self-awareness course would help you.

She has a point though.

I’m just back from an 8 mile run and you’re still on the same thread repeating the same tired old arguments.

Embrace Starmer, forget Corbyn. You’ll feel better.


True, but it's more than that, it's about him (and he's not the only one) deliberately making insulting & derogatory personal comments that he knows full well are untrue, about people who disagree with him. And that's him swerving. I made a point he disagreed with (on p7. I think) that a couple of people agreed with; his response was to chuck a diversionary old chestnut at me which he then followed up for over an hour & several posts, instead of following through the real point re JC that I'd made.

Going back further than that, it's also about how myths about people start & become a thing on here. One person says something about you, then a couple of other people who've previously disagreed with you for some reason, or who you've disagreed with, decide to pick up & run with it for their own reasons. When I first joined this place over 20 years ago, it was the first forum I'd ever been on - in fact I'd never been on the internet before. I thought it was polite if leaving a convo or debate to explain to others in it that I had to go, and why, just as you would if you were face-to-face with people in a room. Someone promptly mocked me for that, & over the years three people in particular turned it into a myth for their own particular purposes (2 of them are on this thread, the third has left the forum).

Other people just leave conversations without comment & come back later without anyone remarking on that at all. But as someone also said, there are a tiny minority on here who enjoy pushing the buttons of others, either as a diversion or just to get a reaction.

Did you even say you were off to walk the dog in this thread? Missed it. Feel for you either way - if a poster doesnt want to carry on with a thread, there could be any number of real life reasons. Weird to make a thing of it.

Whilst you are correct, there does appear to be a trend with certain posters that when they're losing an argument or the questions/points get too difficult, THAT"S when they suddenly get busy.

Or people don’t spend 24/7 on here and have more commitments and things going on in their lives.

Ryorry, as I understand, lives in a remote area, has animals and lives a fairly self sufficient life. That takes a lot of maintenance,

For my part, I can be half way through having another pointless and unproductive ding dong with you and I’ll have the Mrs tell me we are taking the kids to x,y or z. Or it will be time for my daily run.

Some people either live on their own or with their girlfriend and their lives are not so chaotic or hectic.

This “disappearing when losing an argument” is rather silly. Winning or losing an argument in a football message board is irrelevant in the scheme of things. It’s only important to some obsessive posters who have to be right all of the time.

So what? Maybe people feel the need to be courteous to tell you why they won’t be replying for a little while? So they tell you and go and do something more productive rather than arguing on a forum. I’d say rather than arguing the same points over and over, which isn’t uncommon on here, going out and doing something else is a good use of time.

I have no idea about who you are talking about in the first paragraphs. This is also the second time you've tried to drag me into a beef you've actually been having with other people.

I don't know about any of that, I'm purely talking about what you've said to me on at least a couple of occasions when you've not addressed evidence. And let's not forget that this evidence is in the context of me defending myself against insinuations that I'm antisemitic or trading in antisemitic tropes etc which again you yourself have made towards me along the way.

So, sorry but I'm not taking that from you.

You've also ignored the fact that I said I work a 17 hour day & have extremely limited time on here, unlike you who expects everyone to go round 24/7 in the tedious circles you create.

I don't think anyone can be that self-deluded about what they've written, and I don't think you're stupid. I've come to the conclusion that you do this because you know that I'm time-poor (I've mentioned it too much no doubt) and by continually trying to bait & wind me up with the old chestnut, you're wasting more of my time. Which is just another kind of bullying really.

Indeed.

What's particularly strange is that GB and Ryorry are the ones getting all prickly here with me about swerving. Within the context of, for example, me presenting evidence that goes against their ongoing insinuations that I'm an antisemite or trading in antisemitic language and antisemitism denial.

Will they address the evidence and dial back on the insinuations? No. This isn't about standards of debate or behaviour at all.

I have never even once before mentioned you "swerving".* ie before my post on this or it might have been previous page.

I've already *twice* in the last 24 hours told you that I *did* address the evidence and "dial back", yet you still completely ignore that. You've now simply actually proved yourself to be a liar.

You've also ignored the fact that I said I work a 17 hour day & have extremely limited time on here, unlike you who expects everyone to go round 24/7 in the tedious circles you create. Other occasions would be that I'm working (often weather-critical) or have appointments, or am going out, back in the good old days.

Para 3. Well then just bloody stop doing it. As for "calling Phil" I haven't seen the need (and fwiw I know there are 2 people on here, not you, who if I did would see that too as a stick to beat me with).

*Edited for the record to incorporate your posts of 11.34 & 12.09 that I didn't get round to replying to at the time - I've no wish to resuscitate the thread by adding to it.

"Please stop dragging me into whatever that 20-year stuff is about with other posters. I've not done that and never even knew about it."

"Eh? You've given this a context of other people and something going back 20 years. I'm speaking directly to you about our discussions - no-one else's."

So you fastened there on one of my posts mentioning the origins of the myth - and ignored all the rest of my numerous other posts over these 9 pages about how you & 1 more poster in particular have picked that thing up & regularly use it as a stick to beat me with when I disagree with you - to the extent that another poster spots you doing it several times over in this thread alone, and describes it as "bullying".

I don't think anyone can be that self-deluded about what they've written, and I don't think you're stupid. I've come to the conclusion that you do this because you know that I'm time-poor (I've mentioned it too much no doubt) and by continually trying to bait & wind me up with the old chestnut, you're wasting more of my time. Which is just another kind of bullying really.

I see this is only going to go one way. I suggest you put me on ignore and I'll give you a wide berth too.

Indeed.

What's particularly strange is that GB and Ryorry are the ones getting all prickly here with me about swerving. Within the context of, for example, me presenting evidence that goes against their ongoing insinuations that I'm an antisemite or trading in antisemitic language and antisemitism denial.

Will they address the evidence and dial back on the insinuations? No. This isn't about standards of debate or behaviour at all.


I've never once said you are an antisemite. In fact I have said the opposite.

What I have said is that you have engaged in, repeated and defended antisemitic tropes.

Your defence of this is that you don't agree with or recognise the IHRA definition of antisemitism. Well tough titty. That is the universally adopted definition.

Rather odd to drag this back up after months but I think I'll leave you to it. The barking at the moon DK is making an appearance and it never ends well.
