Britain, 50 years from now...

How do you know what gets you banned from the forum? More importantly, how come you never handed out the same advice to others in the past when they've spouted racist bile?

[max_tranmere]

sam, it is common sense that someone is likely to be banned from here for calling someone a Nazi. Secondly, I don't regard someone calling a person a Nazi as them 'spouting racist bile' - offensive, out of order, extremely inaccurate, but I dont think it is racist. Also, as I said to Reggie, the comments I was making are at odds with BNP type views, not ones that co-incide with them.

Fuck me.....here goes.

1. Someone calls you (or implies) you're a Nazi. You advise them that this is a banning offence.

2. Many others spout racist bile, on numerous occasions. You are silent.


My question: Why the 'advice' in the first instance but never in the second?

[max_tranmere]

sam, what 'racist bile' are you on about?

[max_tranmere]

Reggie, you can think I am a BNP supporter all you like. You've been saying that for weeks. I am not one, but I will never convince you of that. Continue to say it all you like.

[Sam Slater]

Are you saying you've never seen any racist comments on here?

Unless we have a massive policy change far too dependant on imports.

Also all means of travel will be far more congested unless there is a policy of creating work and manufacturing / processing basic commodities local to where people live so reducing both commuting and transport of goods.

As just one example there seems to be little real work on food miles.
Why in my local supermarket is locally produced milk dearer than the standard product?
Why are sausage rolls brought from a factory 150 or so miles away not from within even 50 miles when there are livestock and arable farms all around? I wonder how far the raw ingredients travel to that factory too.
