I?ve deleted a perfectly reasonable, non offensive post about taking my dog to France.

I?ve deleted it because of the completely irrelevant comments made by Zenoria65.

This is a forum, where people ask questions to get opinion from people who may have experienced what the poster is asking.

It?s beggars belief why sometimes people feel the need to respond to posts that are in no way helpful and end up taking the focus off the original post.

Well done Zenoria65 if you achieved your goal, you have been extremely helpful - not! Suggest you crawl back under your rock unless your responses to peoples posts are going to be helpful.

In this world you rarely get thanked so well done to Clicka for starting this thread. Perhaps others could pass on their thanks to those who have done them favours. I always like the thank you to the anonymous hero on Saturday Morning, Radio 4.


Alternatively if you don't like a posting as it is unhelpful or irrelevant you may choose to ignore it. Many threads on this forum are 'clever' and/or unnecessary. That's the nature of social media.

People can be irritating at times on this forum going off thread and it can be a tad annoying. I usually check their previous posts to see if they are trolling. But of course we shouldn't feed trolls. And also Clicka, title your thread better as it comes over a bit sarcy/passive aggressive (I say in a patronising way.....). (Brackets are self deprecation)

    • @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  
    • That is a bit cake and eat it tho, isn’t it?    At what point do we stop respecting other people’s opinions and beliefs  because history shows us we sometimes simply have no other choice  you are holding some comfort blanket that allows you to believe we are all equal and all valid and we can simply voice different options - without that ever  impacting on the real world  Were the racists we fought in previous generations different? Were their beliefs patronised by the elites of the time? Or do we learn lessons and avoid mistakes of the past?   racists/bigots having “just as much to say” is both true and yet, a thing we have learnt from the past. The lesson was not “ooh let’s hear them out. They sound interesting and valid and as worthy of an audience as people who hold the opposite opinion” 
    • I don't have a beef with you. But I do have a beef with people who feel that a certain portion of the public's opinion isn't valid.  I don't like racism any more than anyone else here. But I do dislike the idea that an individual's thoughts, beliefs and feelings, no matter how much I may disagree with them, are somehow worth less than my own.  And I get the sense that that is what many disenfranchised voters are feeling - that they are being looked down upon as ignorant, racists who have no right to be in the conversation. And that's what brings out people on the margins and drives them towards extremes, like Reform.  Whether you like it or not, the racist, bigot, anti-european nextdoor to you has just as much say in the country as you do. Intellectual superiority is never going to bring them round.
