Hi


I was away for the weekend and returned to find a thread with the title "Dulwich Medical Centre... bunch of ####s". This post has been removed because I do not want offensive threads/posts on the forum. Apologies to all those who were offended by it and the length of time it took to remove it.

A thread with that sort of title gets removed no questions asked and it should not have been up for as long as it was. When I get time to go through it and if it has some interesting info in it and after I have removed the expletives then yes, I'll put it back. If it does go back up then it will be in the ED Businesses section of the forum.

>If it does go back up then it will be in the ED Businesses section of the forum.


Not specific to this thread, but I am concerned about threads on GP practices being assigned to the Businesses section. I think of them (still) as public services, like police, libraries, Royal Mail, schools, trains and buses, NHS hospitals, or any other NHS provision.

No one complained about it, but I assume you are complaining now so I have edited the title of that thread.


> It's acceptable to call local children idiots?

I suggest you start a thread about it in the Family Room Discussion to find the answer, the thread in question was referring to the parents and their bus blocking parking techniques.

People complained.

Offensiveness is in the brain of the beholder. There were no complaints about the 'idiots' post until now and upon receiving the complaint we changed the 'offending' title.

What is offensive about the set of characters ####s?

Isn't that a pretty low offensiveness threshold?

I have no idea what was meant to be behind the # but assume it meant twits or something like that.

Maybe that's why nobody complained. It wasn't actually offensive unless you used your imagination to create a phrase that was actually offensive.


Personally, I'm more interested in what Dulwich Medical Centre have to say about their hypocracy in cancelling someones appointment when 2 minutes late, when they are usually running over 1/2 an hour late themselves, than I am about a number of the other posts on the forum. Perhaps you should consider putting it back (although I suppose it's your forum so you can do what you want...)

Gimme, as you are "interested in what Dulwich Medical Centre have to say about their hypocracy" I suggest you contact them directly.


I do want to put the thread back up, I'm just finding it hard to find the time to go through it and edit it and as the original poster of that thread has reposted the message again the urgency has gone. I'm also locking this thread but the other one discussing the DMC is still open.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
