I usually derive a certain amount of enjoyment from the Drawing Room. Recently unfolding events in the Pensions' thread have, however, proved to be a matter for regret.


I understand that a forumite from that thread (Undisputedtruth) has now been banned. The thread contains more than one speculative reference to the fact that he may be a previously banned user (i.e. mikecg or Atila). My concern is that, if the ground for his banning is based on such conjecture, then - I fear - that a mistake (and therefore an injustice) might have occurred. I have met the (recently) banned forumite and also know of both mikecg and Atila; and UDT is neither of those previously banned posters.


I hope I am making sense, and that I haven't misunderstood the situation.

The sheer injustice of it makes me sick to my very core. How can this terrible wrong be righted?


One can only hope that good will prevail and that any wronged parties will be allowed access to the local free internet chat forum - so that they may continue to engage in more knockabout inconsequential banter - as is surely an integral part of their human rights.

If I wanted to question the Admin's decision about some perceived 'injustice', I think I'd be more inclined to send a private message than start a whole new thread about it.


Having read their sh1t stirring posts, I'd say they got banned for being UDT rather than being linked to anyone else.

Lady Katharina is right, on hindsight, I should have aired my concerns via PM. I apologise for not thinking properly.


BTW, I'm not suggesting Admin are wrong to ban UDT (I'm sure Admin wouldn't impose a ban unless they felt they had good reason to do so), I am merely saying, that, if done on the ground of former banned poster - that they may have made a mistake. The 3 posters are 3 different people. I am 100% certain about that.


Hope you aren't offended Admin.

    • There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.
    • They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
    • Is it lame? Or is it Lamey? (sorry)
