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.

    • Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.
    • Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.   
    • @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
    • I'd quit this thread, let those who just want to slag Labour off have their own thread.  Your views on the economy are worth debating.  I'm just stunned how there wasn't this level of noise with the last government.  I could try to get some dirt on Badenoch but she is pointless  Whilst I am not a fan of the Daily Mirror at least there is some respite from Labour bashing. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/grenfell-hillsborough-families-make-powerful-36175862 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farage-facing-parliamentary-investigation-36188612
