The point was why given the low number of British people who support Trump, do so many here? That there are other forums is a given. It's why this one has the character it does and not that it does.

In other words why is the Hol a right wing forum and not "leftish in tone".

Is this just an accident, a feature of the Palace support in particular or of football supporters in general?

Seeking to avoid confronting that is the stage where I can see the pin dancing happening.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

This is a classic case of someone not seeing the woods for the trees.....ok, lets do baby talk for those who can't understand how this works.

Most people aren't that political and hence don't post in political forums on football sites. Those that do post in them tend to be particularly political.

Now there will be 'centralists' within that group however you will tend to find that the more left or more right wing will dominate as they are more motivated or at least bothered.....That's why you have a Palace site called 'Comrades' and why the bbs is run by far left 'progressives' who will post more than anyone else.

It doesn't by any means mean that these people are the 'majority' in either political position or anything else. Most people just read the comments and don't post.

Funny how your complaint isn't made against these other sites for assumed 'biases'.

Sure the Hol is currently more to the right....however, I've been on here since 2009, where the left and far left made up higher numbers.....as is the norm as stated above.

The Hol still has left wing commentators and centralists on it and even left wing trolls.....lefty commentators who are given far more free reign than their right wing counterparts on the bbs were.

I can't speak to the 'comrades' in this respect as it does seem like the intent of whoever started it was far more towards 'free speech'....which deserves respect regardless of whatever the tone of the site.

Dont forget insulted!

Holmesdale.net is run by right wingers, but given the political machinations of the average palace fan what do you expect?

Overt racism/homophobia is tolerated on these here pages despite there being some clear rules written about this being forbidden.

Depressing echo chamber. Love it.

I for one will continue to fight the good fight however, against the evil empire of xenophobia and bigotry.

I just got busy with work again is all, and have my tinder adventures to care about.

This is quite a segway but I have met so many women for dates in the last month that any free time for debating how much of a c*** Tommy Robinson is with Hrolf the Ganger has diminished exponentially.

If I have to play the part of Colin from Love Actually then by jove that is precisely what I will do. God damn it works well too.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

Schoolboy error.

No wonder I kept coming home with so many bruises.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

About time you turned up.

Workshy loafer!

As for Tinder....yeah yeah, the only thing you've been pulling has been condoms out of your arse!

While I don't really understand what he's going on about with racism I totally agree with his welcome statement about how conservatives are treated in the entertainment industries......of which Hollywood is an obvious example.
