I am certain people commit many small sins on the BBS. I am not sure, however, that a large number get banned. I have no doubt those that do wear their medal with pride. I am still concerned for Nick, who just seemed to lose any sense of perspective. I hope he finds his way back onto one or other of the sites at some point. Edited by Mapletree (25 Nov 2018 10.24pm) Well, if you are right wing you are far more likely to be banned over there. When I got banned some moron posted a comment I'd made next to a picture of Richard Spencer (who I'd never referred to) and then some t*** of a mod comes in and says something like 'we don't support views like that on here' and straight bans me. A banning, from what I could tell, based purely on politics. Rather amusingly I was banned on a thread called, 'free speech' or something like that. Basically I think you give that site more credit than it deserves. Perhaps because it's mostly populated by left wingers and progressives you feel warmer towards it.

Reasons why you should take tabloid news with a large pinch of salt I want more immigration. I want millions of Mediterranean graduates to take all the good jobs now and in the future.

It may also improve the gene pool although it won’t stop the irresponsible having kids they aren’t prepared for or should never have, even though everyone has a right to spawn children (badly) blah blah blah.

Most Mediterranean graduates wouldn't touch even our best jobs with a barge pole - they've had a proper education, not an indoctrination of ideology.

Ah yes. Send in the Navy. First stop Luxembourg Good call. I would send the army of accountans and tax inspectors into Luxembourg and order them to seize the books. I suspect we might find that some people in this country and across Europe in general are hiding their money. Next stop Switzerland and the Cayman Islands.

Sorry what has this got to do with what I posted? You're anti immigration, good for you but I feel its an important point to guage from what the opinion is based, whether it be factual evidence or made up tabloid stories

Edited by Stirlingsays (26 Nov 2018 6.22am) Perhaps mostly I frequent the HOL. Perhaps I have my own views. I don't believe it appropriate to pigeon hole people. Funnily enough something about which you in particular have waxed lyrical.

What is the label to which you object to?.....being left wing? You don't like that label? How should I define your politics? Still if you have a serious objection I will comply out of respect. Edited by Stirlingsays (26 Nov 2018 11.00am)

Edited by Stirlingsays (26 Nov 2018 11.00am) Why do you wish to define my, or anyone else's, politics? I suggest that attaching a label is lazy. For the avoidance of doubt I have complex political views built up from my own history of experience and education. Often I don't have a view, I reserve judgement.

Likewise it would be ridiculous to say that all those who voted for Trump or Hilary are supporters for all they stand for. They make a preference from the options given to them....a 'lesser evil' so to speak. However, when you say....I'm too much of an individual to be categorised then you....in my view....are being too precious. If we can't label something then we can't define it.....Unless someone can seriously argue for themselves as an independent or successfully point out to a reasonable person that the label is incorrect then I struggle to see the problem.
