That's not why he flounced - one of his threads in General ED issues/gossip was deleted by Admin. He threw a few barbs at me in his farewell post. No hard feelings on my part, though.


I was thinking only this afternoon that he might have given jrussel a good run if he were still with us.

I'm inclined to agree with quids. He wouldn't want to lose face by returning after his flounce royale.


Has was an eloquent, articulate guy, and a lot of his posts were worth reading. But he could also be rude and condescending, and his frequent manipulation of statistics was a particular bugbear!

I met him briefly once a few years ago and he seemed like a very nice sort of chap but you can't always go by first impressions I suppose. I mostly enjoyed his contributions though as Jeremy has rightly pointed out he could be rude and at times condescendng but having now read the entire contents of the "flounce" thread I can also see why he wouldn't want to converse with a couple of the posters on it who in my opinion didn't do themselves any favours at all.

Still, let's not draw up old arguments from months back I'd certainly welcome his return but I'm not sure if he can be bothered considering he spends most of his time in Singapore and I get the feeling he may feel he'd lose a bit of face if he did.

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
