In you go Trevor *plonk* :-)


It's Joe Egg', you'll need to KF him 2 or 3 times a week.


Hi Dennis, who cares, whatever it takes, only a couple of mouse clicks.

Why bother? It was up there late last night and I read it, muttered something about a nutter, hoped and expected that no-one would reply to it then passed on to the next thread unperturbed. What's so dreadful about reading off-topic rubbish? Just ignore it - easy.

Default What a difference!

It's prefectly good english, maybe a few dialectical quirks,
as a middle class liberal you should be all for diversity.


No. It's not either prefectly [sic] or perfectly good English.
It is approximately comprehensible, but the grammar, spelling
and punctuation are all poor.

Middle class liberals, or indeed anybody else with even so much
as a basic education, would not write:
"The Labour party when they was in government ruined the NHS"

'The Labour party when they *were* in government ruined the NHS'
or
"The Labour party when *it* was in government ruined the NHS'

But not "it was"

You're responding to Joe Egginton who is demonstrably ineducable.


I know, hence the slightly sarcastic 'HTH'. I know he's a hopeless case.

The ironic thing is, many of the immigrants he hates so much will speak
his language far better than he does.

You want *more*??
Wasn't that appalling enough?

If you do want something more then the word 'party' should be
capitalised as 'The Labour Party' is a proper noun, but that is
relatively trivial compared to the other howler.

Ain't we picky considering that it's in a ng not a formal letter or
document.

write?


I do not claim or aspire to be a middle class liberal. But since
you ask, here is a list of what I would have written, had I been
so ill-advised as to write it at all.

"Come May next year, we'll see a Tory\UKIP government. The
Labour party"
'Party' should have a capital 'P'

"when they was"
'they' must be followed by 'were'. Or you could have said 'The
Labour Party when it was'

"in government ruined the NHS with PFI's"
There should not be an apostrophe in PFIs

"were"
should read 'where', or better, 'whereby'

"the taxpayer pays 10 times or more what a building is worth.
They allowed the wholesale invasion of this country by
foreigners for a millinenum"
misspelling of 'millennium'

"not seen since the Norman Invasion. Lastly they"
'it' would be better

"ruined the UK economy by spending hand over fist, and thinking
that the great bubble was not going to burst. The labour party"
'Labour Party' should have capital 'L' and capital 'P'

"have made themselves"
'has made itself' would be better

"unelectable for 20 may be"
maybe is all one word, and there should be a comma after 20 and
after 30.

"30 years. Thank God."
I doubt that God has anything to do with it.
