Quids is right. There has been a deterioration in the absurd, inconsequential, nonsensical, enlightening and irrelevant here and a preponderance of politically driven debate.


The lounge has been a dumping ground for too long. Whenever admin don't know what to do with a thread that is ill-suited to its surroundings it gets 'lounged' and we have had enough! It's about time the earnestness with which some of the socio-political guff posted in this section got its come uppance and got 'drawing roomed'. Any debate in this section should only be tolerated if it either raises a smile/laugh or contains amusing/slightly-rude imagery.


Any attempts at political point scoring or arbitrary insults (designed to promote or attack a political viewpoint) should be D.R'd. and those with the lounge's best interests at heart should pile on to the offending thread to make sure it is.

i think they are like EDF aristocracy - been going so long that although they may be pointless, dull, degraded in intelligence and usefulness and irritating, they are a source of comfort and nostalgia to veteran posters and something for occasional visitors to look at and have a desultory turn at ... actually not so much ariostocracy as the run down swings and slide of a city centre park.

And the difference/your point is?


Apologies if it was a "Aristocarcy? More like...!" but you did forget to add the *boom-tish! A-thankyou!* ;-)

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon
