Because there are so many. And they are so unpleasant.

Pretty please...

Pagwatch · 24/01/2012 11:01

I know I am a lone voice shrieking in the wilderness but I don't care...

Actually I do

S'ok Pag I agree with you!

KnottyLocks · 24/01/2012 11:21

Pag, you are not alone.

KatieMiddleton · 24/01/2012 11:21

Yes please put them all together. Or just delete them.

Pagwatch · 24/01/2012 11:21

Thanks bossy

Oh hooray!

D0oinMeCleanin · 24/01/2012 11:23

I also agree. A temp ban on threads about benefits containing any of the following words: I think, plasma/flat screen, holidays, AIBU, wouldn't go a miss either.

It's getting silly now. And scary. I'd rather not believe there are so many gullible eejits in the world.

Hullygully · 24/01/2012 11:23

PLEASE put them all together.

They are all started by work experiencers at Tory HQ anyway.

If you don't, I'll be forced to start more shooting threads and use Bad Language.

KnottyLocks · 24/01/2012 11:26

Um, Hully darling, Bad Language? You?

Hullygully · 24/01/2012 11:28

Them's the lengths, Knotty, them's the lengths.

sodapops · 24/01/2012 11:30

I agree and I have hardly been on here for the last couple of days.

TadlowDogIncident · 24/01/2012 11:30

I agree too - can't bear the levels of ignorance and unpleasantness.

Pagwatch · 24/01/2012 11:32

So shocked that Hully may start swearing. Yet not surprised at the idea that she may start shooting people.

BelleDameSansMerci · 24/01/2012 11:33

Oh yes, please move them somewhere so that I never see another one. They're bloody awful.

Chubfuddler · 24/01/2012 11:33

Can you put all these threads in one place though please, including the sf satisfied leftie ones so I can hide them all in one go.

Sevenfold · 24/01/2012 11:34

something needs to be done,
they are vile, full of jealous screechy posts(don't get me started on the anti sn brigade)

cityhobgoblin · 24/01/2012 11:34

I totally disagree... the financial facts and the misconceptions & vicious attitudes are the reality of everyday life for millions and can't be , dare I say it , ghettoised

Pagwatch · 24/01/2012 11:35

Yes yes. Put all the self satisfied lefties in one area too please.

I would love to be in there.

OP posts:
KatieMiddleton · 24/01/2012 11:35

I don't know any satisfied lefties. Most are feeling distinctly unsatisfied and worried for society.

But it is polite and tidy to post political threads in "politics". Just as it is polite and tidy to post site stuff in "site stuff" and pregnancy stuff in "pregnancy".

EdithWeston · 24/01/2012 11:36

I started a thread asking for something similar earlier this month, when we had an outburst of Bob Holness RIP threads.

If you're interested in a subject, it's far more rewarding to have all in one place (or possibly two, if the self-extinguishing "chat" is left alone).

heliumballoon · 24/01/2012 11:36

Pag you are not a lone voice.

Did anyone else think it was weird that that thread on how to improve the NHS, the first few replies were bring back matron and lo! Cameron announced later that week plans to bring back matron.

They are playing us like a fiddle.
