Yeah, you’re probably right. My bad.

wish you would call me out directly when you post stuff like this tbh, fair play for apologising though

Or the north bit. All my stuff is there.

Soz that wasn’t meant to be snarky. I gave blood yesterday and I think it’s made me more of a dickhead than usual (I’m definitely a bit of one most or the time)

for Northern Ireland it basically says “make your own decision, we don’t really understand”

They’re so obsessed with the lib dems they can’t be bothered to even let it default to Alliance :grin:

Workplace politics chat? (Private)

  • No-one has mentioned the election yet
  • My colleagues are comrades
  • Alright so far
  • A bit annoying but not too bad
  • Very annoying and I’m struggling a bit
  • If I get through the next 6 weeks without a criminal record it will be a miracle

The advantage of working from home is you only really speak to people about work stuff and there isn’t much chance for idle chat to turn into politics chat

No one has mentioned it yet, but I work for a financial company in the middle of Surrey. It’s going to be a bit of a challenge :grimacing:

How are the Tories gaining in the polls? It appears that no level of incompetence will put people off voting for them.

Quite a bit so far. Third sector ain’t it and most (but not all) people are pretty left-leaning. A few people complaining about there being another election. Including one who hasn’t voted for 30 years she says. Said if she was registered she’d vote for Boris “to see what would happen”. Corbyn enthusiasm on my floor seems low in general.

I work in the charity sector. Most people here seem pretty decent.

My first response was to you and it stands.

Sorry I shouldn’t have phrased this directly at you in this way, I don’t want to put the onus on you for other people’s shitty views; a better way to phrase this would be “I would distance myself from people like this”. Like calling somebody you know has Jewish family an anti-semite for bants is just insanely low.

This is a fair response fwiw

would be kind of ridiculous to respond to this kind of post with a separate thread and gives much too much attention anyway

Many people will not see any of this as incompetence.

I have to say my initial reaction was similar to Bam’s. I would find it really hard to stay friends with someone who behaved like that and I’d certainly be kicking myself for inviting them to my wedding.

But then I am not a tolerant man.
