Goodness me - I wonder if his memoirs will be entitled: My own stupidity and it's part in my downfall.


What a prize idiot.


At a time when many are questioning the council's fairness, balance and attitude towards constituents this is not a good look at all - the lengths he went to to undermine a local resident group is shocking.

I know, I wonder if there?s any accounts on here that are like this, like having another identity


Steve Taylor/ Trolley Snatch has gone, but there must be others?!

Maybe we could just classify posters into tribes, D&D alignment style, rather than try and find potential duplicate accounts?


There is a bigger issue here about local democracy and the relationship between councillors and constituents, the role of political parties in local government, the amount of whipping that goes on, whether councillors' loyalty / focus is with their ward constituents, their LA political party organisation or their national party organisation. Voters expect them to represent constituency interests, and with the way the system works this is perhaps naive?


Is there a "councillor culture" that doesn't sit well with the formal rules, that happens because every other councillor is acting in a similar manner, so it all seems OK?

I know of at least one current poster who has two forum names and has sometimes used both of them on the same thread.


Not a troll though.

Seriously - if you're clever about it or use parody it seems to be allowed.


If you just blatantly try to pretend you are not who you are you're banned from twitter. I'm sure if he ran an obvious parody account it would be allowed even if it had a political persuasion (like Larry does).

Twitter recently has started marking accounts with "This is a UK Government Account" etc.


But it's suspected that the government runs a "boiler room" Social Media operation which is really a large group of fake/bot accounts (a former chairman admitted that this was going live in 2018).


I can only find reference to it here

Possibly not just the incumbent government but governments in waiting too.

I can understand someone having separate accounts for say 'business' and 'pleasure' with that well known adage in mind, whereas having multiple 'pleasure' accounts, even if they don't troll, looks sketchy...

Specially posting on their own threads in each ?alter ego?. That?s just odd, tho I suppose there?s a ?Oooo..I?m getting away with this? about it, but it?s still fekn sketchy.

Red Devil, but you already knew that.

Not sure what point you're trying to make, most people who've been on the forum long enough (like yourself) know that's my old account. I stopped using it when I hit 10,000 posts (a 'clique' injoke) and took a break, which was over 3 years ago.

When I returned and set up this account about 6 months later, I deliberately chose DR so people would know it was RD, if I did it again the next time I'd probably choose a Spanish or Italian translation.


I never operated both accounts simultaneously, and even if I had, it would've been fairly obvious to some it was the same person, unlike those posters who have multiple accounts and post under different names, and sometimes in the same thread, which I'm sure you'll agree is a strange thing to do...

I agree, it's a very strange thing to do.


I think originally one of the names may have been intended for "business", very loosely defined, but that isn't the case any longer.

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.

    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
