Yep, totally. Everyone is held to the same standard. Good morning all. I'd firstly like to point out that just like many of you I voted against Rishi Sunak in the last General Election. Quite ironic really, as he is the only person in government who has given me anything during my working life and that was £2,500 a month for a few months during furlough. I do get the impression (rightly or wrongly) that this is a pro-Labour only board. This has also been mentioned to me by others by direct message. If that's what you want then maybe consider making it a closed group by invitation only? As stated previously, I have never posted any bad language, abused other posters, posted nothing racist or sexist, not posted any questionable pictures. I managed to keep out of the thread about shooting Donald Trump which was in very poor taste. So I wouldn't agree that "Everyone is held to the same standard". After the dreadful scenes at Southport earlier in the week, this past week for me has been a period of contemplation and reflection, particularly as I have six grandchildren aged between two and twelve. We were planning to go to Manchester this morning but have decided to give that a swerve just in case. Have a good day. Good morning Tvor, IMO alternative views are welcome but I and others would prefer it if you engaged in discussion and challenged the responses to your posts rather than just move on to something else, Sunak didn't give you anything BTW, consider it a tax rebate which was needed to keep the economy going and it happened across the world. I posted about Trump because it missed him I might have been more respectful if he'd been hit, however I did stay away from the murder of 3 little girls but I did comment on the clowns rioting, you're right to stay out of town there's far too much hate about, go for a picnic with your grandchildren or something nice like that.

The thread where practically everyone immediately condemned the attempted assassination? Condemned it immediately? That's not how I remember it or the impression i got but maybe I'm wrong as it was a fair few weeks ago.

I didn't condemn it other than to express my sympathy for the guy who died and never seems to get mentioned.

It's just sport. "A period of contemplation and reflection" during which you made the decision to keep your grandchildren home because it's too dangerous...following which you decided "I'll forward a right wing baiting email I found online". What a pile of disingenuous horse shit. How stupid do you think people are? You blatantly posted a racist trope on here twice. Never apologised for it, never will. Anyhow, carry on playing your games. But I see it if nobody else does. By the way, Rishi didn't give you that money. It's your own money and ours that he redistributed to you.

That's not how I remember it or the impression i got but maybe I'm wrong as it was a fair few weeks ago. Re-read it and point out what I missed, happy to accept I'm wrong if so. All I can remember is one person suggesting it was planned, which was quickly mocked, and then another suggesting it'd be a good thing, which was quickly called out. Everybody else who commented on Trump being shot condemned it or at the very least didn't celebrate it.

I think one or two dick heads (eg. me) posted fun about it but got pretty much roundly criticised for it. A "swing and a miss" I thought at the time.

Everybody else who commented on Trump being shot condemned it or at the very least didn't celebrate it. I first mentioned it on here, and said in the same post that I wouldn’t be surprised to hear conspiracy theories about it - largely based on Donald Trump hardly being reluctant to distance himself from conspiracy theories himself. He can’t have it both ways, although as it happened there was more to muse about quite how badly the different enforcement/protection agencies failed than anything else. At no point did I say it was a good thing, though.

If you don't want to be so concerned about what's going on to feel unsafe going into the city centre today, don't post the lies that are fuelling it yesterday. I'm well beyond thinking this is just stupidity.

It actually wouldn't have made any difference if his nut has been blown off his shoulders given the speed at which his ear grew back (his words - he's a fast healer). Harris is now rinsing him in the polls. He's losing traction every day. And finally, after years of sitting on the fence, lots of black folk listened to his interview with the NABJ and decided "hmm, perhaps he really IS racist". And this JD Vance has proven to be a catastrophic appointment apparently.

I'm well beyond thinking this is just stupidity. Quite correct. It's utterly absurd. Almost parody by now. As I said. Just a game. He's laughing at us all.

That,to be fair,is not 'practically everyone condemning it',is it?...which is what you said in response to tvor post. No problem at all people not condemning it (i didn't comment myself),but i don't remember a widespread outpouring of yellowboard concern and worry!!

I'd argue semantics there but fine, I'm willing to accept that not everybody condemned it, however one thing that can't be argued is that it wasn't a thread 'in very bad taste', which was tvor's initial nonsense claim. The minimal instances of things being said in bad taste were immediately addressed by others and put right. As bigmartin has already pointed out, given some of tvor's arguably racist output, quite ironic for him to pick up on posts in bad taste.

If it helps, the incident made me concerned and worried. Still very much am. In my humble, that was the moment that sealed it for him. I didn't outpour it on here, I was ironing, but I'll outpour it now. The world is shortly about to enter a very dark place.
