The EDF has the same rule but it's specific to businesses with a trading address in the SE22 postcode, will you be just as specific? ''Surrounding area'' sounds a bit vague and open to interpretation.

One loophole I've noticed on the EDF recently is that if a business uses it's business name as it's forum's user name, it doesn't get banned, thus every time it posts on any thread it's getting another advert for it's business...stealth advertising if you like. I know I'd personally stop this from happening if I ran a forum as it gives an unfair advantage to that business...

I've used Hayes Carpets a number of times. The first one was when the staff in LL Carpets snubbed me (this is a true story). I would have used them again recently but they didn't stock the stair carpet (stripy by coincidence) so we went to EJ carpets in Forest Hill.


But this is starting to sound like a where to buy, or not as the case may be, carpets thread (parcularly where the old ones are thread bare) rather than some pointless twaddle.

    • Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.
    • Yes, but the context is important and the reason.
    • That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in. 
    • TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
