I would like a GE board too.

There is one - why not RTFT?!

threads about prince harry are moved to the royalmeghanbash topic very quickly.
why can't the same be done with the GE ones.

Yep

And the GE ones are fairly car crash at times

I agree, it would be good to have the GE threads in one space so us "bores" who care about politics can find them easily.

Ha! Yes and everyone else can continue banging on about important stuff like Prince Harry, wedding guest dresses and boarding schools 🙄

Samcro · 26/05/2024 11:32

the agism on the threads is awful.

I see that the discussion on National Service has been moved.

This is a policy that would affect every parent with a young child. But if it's hidden away on the Election board, then people won't know about it - but it's important.

FFS. Having a specific board for GE posts isn't about hiding posts away. Every time someone posts in the board, that post will appear in Active Conversations, like any other post or thread.

If you report MNHQ will move them.

I’ve reported many today too and hidden the board.

Yep the threads just flood active. I’d prefer them moved

Are there many people whose only source of important information is a Mumsnet thread?

If you don't access news then presumably it's because you either aren't interested or actively choose not to for whatever reason, its not because of lack of internet

Let those people be in the choice to be ignorant of current affairs

EasternStandard · 26/05/2024 09:39

I’m appreciating the GE board it keeps it all in one place

Good call op

This is how ridiculous this is.

I started a thread on telling people to get Voter ID

And it's been moved to the Election topic. Where people go to if they are interested in politics and are very likely to vote and to know about Voter ID

when you receive your polling card you will be advised that you will need ID

cakeorwine · 25/05/2024 19:21

RestlessDollyMaunder · 25/05/2024 19:19

@cakeorwine - ask for it to be moved back.

I have done.

People may not be interested in the threads but they need to know about Voter ID.

Both sides accuse the other of being bots etc. Look at @Ereyraa 's rude post.

Sorry, I hope my comment didn't offend you - it wasn't aimed at anyone in particular.

Show quote history

No, it didn't offend me. I used to work in politics and still find it really fascinating, but I know lots of people are bored by it and I can understand why. It is a failing of our system that so many are turned off.

Let’s be honest, most of the GE related threads on here are places where posters bitch and snipe at each other and exchange personal insults. None of it is about legitimate discussion, more about posting personal opinions and personally attacking posters who don’t agree, or accusing them of being bots/tories/part of the propaganda machine if they don’t agree or dare to have a different opinion

You know when WW3 breaks out, people would just want a topic for that so they can ignore important conversations.....

Having a separate board is great. But please @BeckyAMumsnet that really does mean that threads have to be moved to that board (assuming they're reported, I assume?)
