@DameProfessorIDareSay asked me the question twice. I answered.

I actually agree with your second paragraph. Which is why maybe fresh blood is needed.

Anyway, pps makes it clear I am not welcome on this thread. But I enjoyed chatting with you, even though we don't agree on much!

Ok enjoy the sunshine.

Naaah. I'd just check your tone in future when you're going clod hopping into a thread which has a long-standing community.

Maybe worth reviewing your own posting style before trying to give advice on etiquette 🙈

I think posters who are engaged in the content of the conversation, over many threads and throughout this one, and not just swooping in from nowhere to nitpick over the words used by particular posters have a better feeling for the appropriate tone.

No, not obvious. Where did she endorse Farage’s and Robinson’s views?
She backed her shadow justice secretary who expressed perfectly legitimate views.

The BBC reported:
"But speaking at an event to launch her party's campaign for May's local elections in England, Badenoch said her "fantastic" frontbench colleague Nick Timothy had been trying to make a point about the "norms of British culture".
Claiming that women at the event had been "pushed to the back," she said the gathering had been "exclusionary".
"It is about how religion is expressed in a shared public space, and whether those expressions fit within the norms of British culture, " she added.
In a BBC interview after the event, she went on to add: "I think that we need to look at exactly why and how it happened in that space.
"We already have loads of planning rules to say what events can go on, and which ones cannot. I don't think that that was one that should have gone on. So let's look at the rules that allowed that to happen."
Asked why she had mentioned the place of women when this had not featured in Timothy's original criticism of the event, she replied: "My position has been very clear, and very consistent.
"We need to bring back British values. We need to make sure that we enforce British identity.”"

Our culture, whether you are religious or not, is not one of ‘pushing women to the back’.

Important to note that this is what Badenoch claimed. This photo seems to run counter to that. Lots of happy women celebrating. Not pushed to the back?

No need, thanks. I'm quite happy with my approach to you, as well as my tone in general. You're the one gate crashing a thread with rudeness.

Maybe there's an opening for a 'left of Labour' thread as well?

I may or may not have posted on older threads upon which I had commented pre- name change over a week ago. Do you not how this site works. Now can you please stop the weird AS stalking behaviour. It is giving me the ick.

It's not weird at all, as I said, I'm interested in your posting style elsewhere to see if this is your usual tone, or if you use it on us only. So no, I won't stop. 🤷‍♀️

A hair trigger report finger, an affinity for emoticons and incessant policing of language...it does ring a bell.

Have they been reporting? I hadn't noticed! It's all very childish behaviour.

I haven’t been reporting anyone and I have no idea what the previous references are. More pity than scorn though if making lame and unfounded accusations is all some have to fill a sunny weekend.
