'If I recall 2010 people were so fed up with Maggie and her party had dislodged her that anyone would have beaten her and so peopje went out and voted for Blair who promised a lot, but instead dismantled anything labour
Thdn the Iraq fiasco'
What on God's green earth are you blethering on about? 2010? Maggie? She got hoofed out in 1990.
Do you ever read what you've written before posting it?

Says the person who put "she got hoofed out". That is the "romanes eunt domus" of modern English.

You're clearly someone of great erudition. If it makes it easier for you, I'll rephrase it - "she got kicked out". The word ''hoof' may be used as either a verb or a noun but never mind.
The point remains, of course, that Thatcher had nothing to do with politics by 2010.

The word "got" was the problem, as she didn't obtain an object. Which would imply a noun follows. A noun doesn't follow as "hoofed" is clearly used as an adverb.
"She was hoofed out" or "She got a bottle wine to drown the sorrows of having been hoofed out".
Just think the irony of your comment was worth feeding back to you.

You really should stop showing your ignorance of the English language. The verb 'to get' (past participle 'got') is commonly used to mean obtain a status or condition. Have you never said 'I got pissed' or 'I got lost'? The idea that 'hoofed' was being used as an adverb is even more infantile. An adverb is a word that tells you how, when or where a thing is done - e.g. she hoofed the ball
quickly into touch. Getting kicked out was the status she obtained.
I've had enough of this now. The post I commented on originally was almost gibberish and factually inaccurate. I enjoy reading other people's comments on this forum but it becomes rather tiresome when they can't be bothered to write something that is at least this side of comprehensible.
And all this guff comes from someone who has just posted
'They had to lie because they tried to fight both elections on Brexit, hence why may became a hardcore leave person as best as she could right after getting power.'
I rest my case. End of story.

Just because people commonly bastardise "got", doesn't make it correct use of English....but there you go. It amazes me the amount of dunners that walk around.
Even worse, is when people get called out for trying to correct people's grammar and rather than accept it, they try to call out the person pointing out their hypocrisy.
Sad, sad and sadder.

I do not worry about grammar or spelling so long as I can understand the comment, but the I am more clever/intelligent comments than you do show a person's character.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Just go and buy a dictionary. If you don't like books then there are plenty of on-line choices. Then look up the verb 'to get'. Then come back and apologise.
Has it ever occcurred to you that the reason you have been banned for another forum might simply because you insist on posting complete bo**ocks in the face of simple facts?
Slow, slow and slower.

If we can't have grammar policing, can we not perhaps have grammar counselling?

Dictionaries don't define words, moe catalogue usages, which includes bastardisations. You try reading a book about the English language and actual grammar...perhaps.
No, because you are the one posting bollocks, thinking it is fact...but never mind.
You are an absolute dunner of the highest calibre.
