In the past I have been a benevolent Chair. I have allowed threads to divert from their original scope in oder to foster debate. I have allowed passionate rhetoric in order to nuture radical ideas. I have even tolerated bad language when done with panache.


But some people on here are testing my patience.


I will not tolerate any further personal insults nor persistent bickering. This is meant to be a wood-panelled Drawing Room for sophisticated debate whilst drinking brandy. Some of you seem to have over-indulged.


It is not the Oxford Union so stop behaving like students.

Blimey just read the Chairs warning....Hugenot , Loz , ???? you are one step away from oblivion. Unlike yourself i would hate to see you blown out of the forum after all these years. Like the chair said if your losing the argument just work harder to win it with out insulting. UDT has certainly had some very un-called for things thrown his/her way.


Now.....after Thursday the Lib Dems will be metaphorical mincemeat. Neville Chamberlain's the lot of em.


What did Tony say Education , Education , Education


And Clegg.....free banking shares for all !!!! well done Nick focus on the issues ???

I don't think you help your case with your disguised bickering after the warning was issued. Were you trying to undermine the Chair's warning?

The Chair has received no PMs from anyone on this matter. Undisputed Truth - you are lying. Stop it. It makes a further mockery of your name.



Obviously he was not lying just mistaken.......hope you are as quick to publicly put down , Mamora man, ????, Loz , Strafer, Hugenot, et all.

Sagatelsgouni: I have no doubt the Administrator will "put down" those that abuse the forum. However, I do not feel I have ever abused either the forum or forum contributors - so not sure why you raise my name?


Perhaps you have a problem with someone expressing support for right of centre policies and philosophy or critiquing some of your more facile postings?

I've always thought the Chair was different from Admin because - well, why have a different name


And the welcome to the drawing room bit has this from Feb 2010


"The Chair, as many of you know, is not a permanent position but on a short term appointment basis. As the current incumbent for the last few weeks I have tried to carry on the legacy of my predecessors. However, I am going to make a small change effective as of today"

I've pm'd Mark last week but the message remains unread. When I used 'report this message function' I thought at first they would go to the admin but after checking the Chair's message above I then concluded they would have gone to the Chair instead. Who is the current Chair?


I also like to make clear that I have no reason to lie and I feel there were attempts by a small minority to force me off the forum. I've met some great people in person during my short time on the forum and would like to extend my thanks to those who have supported me.

The Chair's identity is a closely guarded secret. A bit like a super-hero or a secret agent. Only much less cool.


If your error, UDT, was a genuine mistake then I apologise for accusing you of lying about sending me PMs.


There is no conspiracy to force you from the forum. The only reason you'd be banned or asked to leave is a persistent infringement of the rules.


I continue to encourage all posters to make their missives thoughtful and genuine additions to debates rather than snipes and sneers.

Yes your right UDT. Its the usual suspects who over excitedly took over a local forum, politicised it with James Barber , and are now attempting to turn it into their online version of Brussels. I notice Sagal has gone....and his crime? Maybe he upset the little prefects , Loz, ????, Mockney, Mamora et all - centre right, and liberal right, a clear coalition intent on ruining a public forum because they want to excercise control and censorship. Do they have the backbone to charge ? doubtful as they would be left in a little circle doing god knows what, just where they were before EDF was born !


So again are the liberals broken.....dust my friends, dust.

smashed to bits, like a empty clay pot dashed on a block of granite. They reflect only the utter lack of community within society, they pander to the loudest minority within the body of the people in order to cement their own party politics. They are more overt , more stripped and pornographic in their political machinations than any other party before them. Scum one and all.

Well this would seem to settle the "necessary? Or idealogical?" debate we had back then


Bonus points for delivering it at A F@@@ing Banquet!! as well

    • Hello,  If you are looking for a home cleaner please contact me at +44 7852 294138 for more details.  Thank you
    • Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.       
    • Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..
    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
