I am amazed that no one from HQ has intervened on any of the (very many) political threads that have descended into name calling & personal abuse.
Selfishcuntydupe has summed up everything I want to say with this post:
"Yes - the hatred, the bile, the vitriol at people who simply put a cross in a different box. And the baby killing nonsensical hyperbole posted across this site. It's hysterical. Utterly, hysterical.
And no,the Tories here can never win because whatever they post, no matter how sane and objective , it will be used against them to accuse them of being a smug rich, bastard or as evidence that they are heartless.
No one predicted the election outcome because good, decent people stayed silent and quietly voted to avoid the bile , the bullying and the abuse they were seeing heaped upon those who did speak up.
MN admin - I would advise you to look very very closely at what some of your members are saying and how they are behaving or it may bite you on the arse too. This is an amazing website but some of the posts today are shameful."
I know that this site is moderated with a very light hand, but I think you have failed by not intervening today.
Not even an from you.
