I'm still a bit depressed about how few poppies I've seen about in SE22 and on my journey into town over the past week

I have yesterday

I believe admin has more important things to get on with, life for intsance, so feel a bit that I've banged on a lot - but firstly the original post by Hugen. is grossly insulting and disgusting, up their with BBWs 'raping father' crap. I'd feel it was pretty inapropriate if TLS was Nick Griffin himself; secondly it contains, what now appears to be a piece of huge misinformation...at best. And this about someone who can't answer back - I don't feel I'm alone in feeling this is actually pretty outrageous. As I said in my original post, I'm a bit uncomfortable about TLS' ban but back to my point 1, this is a decent forum well edited generally so I respect the editorial policy as a whole so I'm not fighting that. Hugenot's post is beyond the pale IMO and he should prove his accusations or apologise in my view and the fact that it's still up is probably due to circumstance but is unfortunate. I will now retire from this thread.

well at first it was clearly stated as by PM...but that's somehow been changed to a more nebulous general feeling. It's also possible it's just a load of made up crap of course.

is this only applicable to some posters are older ones exempt?

The'threateninj' passage...looks like a reasonable response from someone who'd been misrepresented and slandered on this occasion too but at least could answer back then An extract- the whole things still there if you want to check in full Now a general point Huguenot: You are just prooving time and time again what many people think (I've got an open mind personally) that the most eloquent, articulate posters are the least flexible intelligent. The two are, obviously, mutually exclusive, sometimes. Thread after thread when somebody carefully takes the time and trouble to explain exactly what they feel you put a JACKBOOT (how ironic!) thru' the heart of what they say and put YOUR OWN totally inaccurate "interpretation" on it. The reasons why you do this are not clear to me, although I have narrowed them down to: 1/ You being an "educated" fool. 2/ You having no concept whatsoever in the way MILLIONS of People, literally Millions live their life in The UK circa 2009. 3/ You are incredibly, incredibly LAZY in Debate, unbelievably so, in fact. Repeatedly I have seen posters "not dissimilar" to you on diffeent fora just basically, say or imply that someone is a "Racist" with all its EVIL implications because they do not fit in or share your "Utopian" ideals (and EXTRAORDINARILY YOU talk about people living in "CLOUD CUCKOO LAMD)..Sigh. 4/ Continuing the "Cloud Cuckoo Land" Theme you are on a massive Wind-Up (Unlikely but becoming slightly possible). 5/ You reading or intrepreting what YOU want to read or hope or expect to read from certain other peoples postings (what someone referred to in a Private PM about this thread as soneone "not being part ofa clique" here. 6/ You feel "safe" as a respected (my words despite some nonsense lately) established Poster to write anything however defammatory, however untrue, as it, inevitably, will NOT be you that is on the end of the browny stuff when it hits the fan. 7/ See (1).. 8/ You can write what you want "since I'm not there to suffer the consequences" of anything proposed by you. I PRAY that this thread does NOT get locked, please...(I'll certainly behave) but what you have written is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS. I GUARANTEE that if you ever return and live in London for any lengthy period that I will fraternise (through choice) is far, far more first/second/third(f/s/t) Generation "immigrants" than you will. I very doubt (though I will never know) if there is anyone reading or contributing to this Forum who chooses to, happily, mix so freely with (f/s/t) Generation immigrants, for our mutual benefit, than I do.

:(

Nice on Mick

"Who you gonna call?"

Well said Hal, - I am increasingly thinking TLS face didn't fit too and the Thread highlighted by Hugeonot, which I've now read in depth in it's entirity actually highlighted that Hugenot was was putting his (hugenots) own words as Tony's views on immigration way back then too. I'll be honest, I've exchanged a few PMs with Hugenot on this (free of any threat of violence on both parts I hasten to add) and have also reported the original meassage to admin and asked that it be proven or apologised for and then removed. Bad taste in the mouth.....on a few levels on this to be honest.

And Tony hasn't suggested that anywhere either Legal - I think he's been subject to some pretty unsubstantiated accusations by a fair few posters that made up their mind on him early doors and then didn't ever look at their own prejudices and in all honesty what he was ACTUALLY saying. Personally I think I'm mature and intelligent enough to listen to some different views, maybe unless they're completley and virualently unpleasant. Second guessing people's opinnions and turning them into a hidden white supremacist is a pretty unintelligent thing to do. As I said, I amybe wrong but I don't think TLS is some BNP activist and never saw much evidence for it . I'm with Keef's post.

Was that the same experience that led you to believe that the 'white working class down south are scum' or whatever it was the other day Legal? Your or no-ones hunches are good enought to accuse eomeone of being racists...sorry, for accusations like that you need proof, that's not apologism by the way... Hugenot, weasly words and deflection don't detract from your post of the other day... Keef - probably the wises words spoken onn here, well said. Maybe this thread should go now.
