Morning


This site went down this morning at 3am until 8.30, I'm not sure why but it is a reminder that the forum needs a major upgrade.


This year we may have to move to new software, which would mean a different look and feel (hurrah! some of you say), you'll have to change your passwords but you'll get better features.


The forum is independent, we don't monitor your every move and then target you. We don't track your messages, friends, emotions and then use that to sell you stuff. Aside from the adverts on the side, everything here is written by you.


So just a warning that the software it runs on will hopefully change this year, which might be a little bit of pain for a lot of gain. 15 years without a major change isn't bad.


We're currently looking at using PHPBB3 as the new software if you know any PHPBB? expert please send them my way. If anyone has any other suggestions for forum software please let me know.


Have a lovely day.

Agreed. It was a pity a lot of threads disappeared last time, though understandable.


And it would be great to have some warning if our PMs are going to disappear!

All threads will be kept if I have my way. I'm not aware of a previous time where lots of threads disappeared.


And yes, old Private Messages might have to go as they're tricky to migrate, so you will get plenty of warning if that has to happen.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect

      I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Rockets · Posted

      To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
