A chat thread for those who don't like this Labour government. 🥀

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

@Nuthatch26 sending you a pm

Thanks for the info @SapphireCasino. I thought you'd know the reason DT was refused bail. You're right that this helps him either way. I haven't paid it much attention tbh, but one to watch.

Oh, I’m not saying that was the reason alone - I think it was a combination along with the nature of the offence, the risk of public disorder, the previous conviction, the risk of reoffending.

And I forgot to say that he also didn’t disclose his phone PIN to police which is covered under specific bits of the law. Honestly, I think he’s going to get a terrorism charge or something because that was their pants excuse for one of the situations with Tommy Robinson.

I’m kind of neutral on Tommy Robinson but he had one court appearance that was literally a case of being tried for the crime of “ driving while Tommy Robinson”!!

When you step away from this stuff for a while, coming back into it is really quite disturbing in the “ living in a simulation” sense. You get the impression that it’s all theatre. And you wonder who’s paying for it.

I don’t know… I don’t mean to sound like a crazy person, but things have reached a point in this country - and probably other countries - where the general direction of things just feels like it can’t be organic.

I'm really sorry to hear that. I know how you're feeling as I've been there. I've left the site a few times and returned with a different name.
Then it ramped up again when I started these threads. Some posters really need to reflect on their behaviour towards others. My MN twin left because of bullying.
MN need to do something about it as I've seen others hounded off and its always the same posters trying to get them banned.

Feel free to PM me anytime if you need a shoulder. Xxx

Nooo did they? I’m missing a few on here atm but not sure if it’s n/c due that AI creepiness or had enough.

Interested in this thread?

You wouldn't believe what I've just received by email. I wasn't going to take the online bullying further but I've had it. There is a very inconsistent approach to moderating so I've taken this to site stuff.

Is this from last night?
I didn’t engage, but there were some seriously weird people here.

Please stick around @LuckyHazelFox ! Even if you have to change names.

I've had enough of 'them' hounding posters off. I can't stand bullying. Look what 'they' did to X!
Here 'they' are again, monitoring this thread for Lucky's posts trying to get her banned.

I'll probably get deleted for saying that but I'm past caring. If MN want this site to be just for left wingers, they should say so and we can all go elsewhere.

I know I'm going to get banned while the bullies get away with it. I'd just like to know why they are getting away with it. I've cancelled my premium. Membership. Im not paying to be treated like this.

I've had a warning from HQ for a post I made here and saying they've had a lot of complaints about me! It's really really fucked me off so I've taken action. It's bullying - end of.

I think if posters only want Labour views there’s always BlueSky. Agree btw.

Believe me name changing doesn't work either. They come after me anyway. I'd thought I'd broken through the Newbie time frame. I don't know anybody in my life who behaves the way treatment is dished out on here. So I posted that I wouldn't discuss the Thomas arrest anywhere else on the forum because you wont get a reasoned debate because of name calling. Within a minute it was gone with a warning from HQ and saying thus isn't the first time they'd received complaints. The conversations I have seen, including goading and badgering on the site stuff hate thread (!!) Left to stand. Posters sneering about how many times I post and with what frequency - left to stand. Actually listing the amount of posts I'd made a thread and how long I'd been on here - left to stand. Saying I'm surprised you're still here - left to stand. It's easier for the site to keep deleting new posters so the culprits can carry on. Sorry for the rant. It's not the place to be putting this. So I'm going to see what happens with my post on site stuff. Even when I'm banned I'm going to be chasing MN up about my emails reporting all this. They aren't sticking to their own guidelines

There definitely a group of posters who co-ordinate their posts between themselves. All very passive aggressive.

Meanwhile, I found reporting in the Spectator that is pretty alarming:

Thanks for this. Paints a worrying picture doesn't it.

The long shadow of two-tier Keir, indeed.

Along with Nazi, racist, far right, another word which has lost all meaning and makes me roll my eyes is thug.

Thanks everyone. I don't want to fill up.the thread anymore. If I'm still able to post, I will do so after, a break. In the meantime, I'm going to give the Conservative party my full support - as a voter x

No worries, see you back after a break Flowers

I find that once they recognise your name it doesn’t really matter what you post, they will take offence.

Me - The sky looks so lovely and blue today.

Poster - Source?

Second poster - Have you considered that not everyone has access to blue skies and so can’t enjoy it. You are privileged and you have to pay more tax for having blue sky where you are.

Third poster - Do you like BlueSky then? (Sarcasm)

AndyKitten · Yesterday 14:16

Poster No4 - posting on a different thread - They have all now subscribed to BluSky.

Me - deleted

Disgraceful and good for you. I have seen some of the posts directed at you on other threads and admire your restraint, better than I would be.

It’s painful isn’t it. I’m actually getting bored of Mumsnet now, the same posters just shut down any debate time after time. They are absolutely the minority though.
