Narnia, yes I told him/her to f-uck off. I hit flashpoint! That was yesterday. S/he behaved abominably - there is no question (and I think I made that clear). S/he has, however, since proffered various apologies (there is something to be said for that - I can think of at least a couple of posters who give the impression that it is beneath them to tender an apology). And yes I have since (today) also agreed with karter that s/he shouldn't be banned (for the moment, anyway) - purely because others have (IMO) conducted themselves in an equally atrocious manner in the past and have escaped banning. I haven't done so in the same sentence as you say - not even on the same day, in fact.


Whether or not the apologies are meaningful and heartfelt, will become apparent in time. I sincerely hope they are. However, I am one for giving someone the benefit of the doubt - until given good reason to do otherwise. I would rather that than to be partially responsible for a hasty ban.

I presume Axeman would call herself Axewoman if he was a she. I haven't seen anything remotely resembling sincerity written by the Axeperson, just a poor attempt at plausability. My reference regarding you and 'get karter' and sentences was using a bit of poetic license.

but if someone gets banned, its because they alone are responsible for what they post, no?


narnia - someone who registers and posts abusive/antagonistic/etc messages is just as likely to register under a misleading username as not. In my opinion anyway.

That thought did occur to me...but I learned a long, long time ago never to assume...

S/he has apologised (more than once). However, I acknowledge that you may well be right (in which case I will look like a complete and utter fool - not for the first time either). I sincerely hope you are wrong though (and I don't mean that in a nasty way).

I'm slightly surprised at the apparent lack of tolerance/patience demonstrated by some posters who were only grudgingly accepted as members of this community themselves.


Surely we are all sufficiently well adjusted to cope with one more impetuous newcomer - s/he'll no doubt become part of the furniture eventually?

Of course a poster is responsible for what s/he posts. My point was more about the forum public "encouraging" a ban perhaps prematurely without first fully observing how things develop following an apology. But, yes I accept your argument.

You can only take people by the words they write...and they have to take responsibility for what they write. Personally I am against censorship but that doesn't mean we should make excuses for Axeman when he/ she comes out with nonsense about chief whips and the like. A quick look at his posts on other threads I think shows what he's really up to and I'm not feeding it anymore.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By first mate · Posted

      I would like to understand this promise by the Greens in greater detail and how it applies locally? Presumably road/pavement upkeep and renewal is as important for cyclists and pedestrians as motorists? I am not aware of plans to build new roads locally but there has been plenty of money spent on converting roads into pedestrian only areas. On the face of it this feels a slightly empty statement, when applied at local level. I'd love to know the Greens stance in hiring out parks for private use (given impact on park environment), I'd also like to understand their stance on fireworks- I will look to see if I can find anything. I don't know if a manifesto exists under the documents section of Southwark Greens, but you can only access that bit by signing in- which is disappointing. If anyone has a manifesto that reflects local priorities- could they post a link?

      Will Mandelson be accepted across the pond.

      By vladi · Posted

      You are most likely correct in thinking that  Kinnock, Blair, Brown, Starmer et all knew it.  But they obviously thought that his skills, abilities and usefulness far outweighed the negatives. Here is a summary of the positives lifted from elsewhere:-   1. Strategic Architect: He was a primary architect of "New Labour," rebranding the party and shifting its core ideology to win the 1997 general election. 2 Master of Communication: Often called the original "spin doctor," he revolutionised how political parties manage the media. He famously created the "grid" system to coordinate government messaging. 3 Networking and Charm: Known as "Silvertongue," he possesses a peerless ability to charm and network with high-level global figures, including business leaders and heads of state. 4. Governance and Trade Expertise: Beyond strategy, he was considered a highly efficient minister, serving as European Commissioner for Trade and Secretary of State across multiple departments, including Business and Northern Ireland.  5. Reinvention: His capacity to adapt to changing political climates and rebuild relationships reflects personal resilience and strategic flexibility. With his skill and abilities, he delivered results for all his bosses. In the short time in Washington, he found a way to get on the right side of Trump - despite him  being critical of Trump in previous years. That said he is complex personality.  He can be simultaneously brilliant and arrogant, thick-skinned yet sensitive, and selfless for his party while appearing narcissistic in his personal dealings.  My OP asked if he would be accepted over the pond. It turned out he was because he got on famously with trump. He worked out the correct strategy to get on the good side of Trump and secured a better trade deal than the EU and other nations.

      Malumbu, do you happen to know what the current figure is for "trips into town made by walking, cycling and public transport"?

      Before voting, do you not think it's logical to evaluate each party on its policies and make a tally of the reasons "For" and "Against" voting for each party.
