Truss Conference Speech

[Paigntonian]

Extraordinary she didn't see fit to acknowledge Boris Johson and give him one sentence of respect.

[JDavis]

Truss didn't come from a humble background.

//Fatt: A lot of contributors are getting terribly fed up with your knee-jerk and ill-considered remarks. I certainly am.//

You mean you, Davebro and Deskdiary? Lol.
Are you going to advise a break from AB for me too, just like them?
Davebro recommended I see a therapist…..despite him advocating machine-gunning immigrants on a beach!? Odd that you didn’t admonish him, too concerned with me eh?
Bless! Lol.

Or is it that you don’t like relevant points that question the mindset and actions of the beloved party? End of.

[naomi24]

Khandro/Paigntonian, ‘thick’ she is not. She’s certainly educated.

[Paigntonian]

Fatt: I think Davebro was right, Deskdiary was right and that I'm right. I think your comments are very often insulting, verbose, ill-considered and tiresome.

// Frankly weird that some decide that Truss is 'not intelligent'. Is Starmer 'not intelligent' or was Corbyn 'not intelligent'. It really is schoolboy stuff.//

Intelligence doesn’t necessarily mean credibility, confidence, skill nor ability but particularly so in the political sphere, that’s diabolically apparent.
Some don’t have the intelligence to recognise a party whilst they’re attending one.

[JDavis]

Totally agree, Fatti, that's the level of debate from some on here.
They don't understand the concept of pot/kettle.

[naomi24]

I’ve just listened to part of her speech on the BBC news. First I’ve seen of it. I thought she did well.

//Frankly weird that some decide that Truss is 'not intelligent'//

May have missed it so am asking but:

Where in the thread did anyone claim she wasn’t intelligent?

Khandro
n. //Brains don’t necessarily equate to sense//
/This is true, but not the point, she was accused on here of not being intelligent./

Same question.

Paigntonian
//Naomi: A good point. But to call a successful City accountant, MP and Party leader 'thick' is just stupid.//

Who in the thread called her thick?

….or has someone read the ‘not very bright’ post and have feigned outrage to suit an agenda?

[Paigntonian]

Fatt: How can I qualify my remarks when I didn't make the remarks? You accused me of a very unpleasant remark that I did not make.

[FatticusInch]

Paigntonian
//Fatt: How can I qualify my remarks when I didn't make the remarks? You accused me of a very unpleasant remark that I did not make. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. If course, you're not man enough to admit that you were wrong. Par for the course.//

You said you agreed with Davebro. You needed to qualify or quantify that remark. You failed to….badly.
As for man enough, you mean like you tried last night over the coup remarks by Braverman and the breaking story that the government were being evasive over the question of benefits?
The story was not a year old as you claimed, was it?
You disappeared though? Never mind.

[weecalf]

I like her and wish her well so I dis .

[tomus42]

If only 'not being stupid' was the main qualification for being Prime Minister, she'd be great.

[perseverer]

This thread largely confirms what newcomers happening on answerbank will think, that it is a place for a small number of people to take every opportunity to throw insults at each other.

[gness]

It does, Perseverer. I haven't the patience to read through the immature bickering but I guess it's those who complain about AB, the moderation, the asking for donations....and anything else they find to grumble about.

[tomus42]

Yes, but if the newcomers like that sort of thing then it's all good.

[gness]

If that had been the first post you'd ever looked at, Tomus would you have thought....whoopee....just the place for me...two or three people knocking each other...how great is that...I'll join?
