My heart goes out to the Jewish community in Golders Green.

I utterly condemn these attacks and wish the stabbing victims a full and speedy recovery.

My phone plays tricks on me too. Easy to change condemn to condone.

Typos are a nuisance, I have fat fingers posting by phone. In addition, my iPhone has a mind of its own and often alters words when I’m not looking

Yes Cossy, we all condemn the awful Tommy Robinson and co. Well no one so far as I recall has condoned him 😏

😂I do hope so.

I completely and utterly condone Robinson and his ilk using these flags in order to intimidate people.confused

Do you mean condemn?

It's just like the Severn, it has many tributaries.

Sorry manifesto not policies

I posted my opinion. If my opinion inflames others so be it.

I am sad that this will probably be my goodbye to you all. The moderator and I radically disagree. Best wishes to you all.

Don't know what you said but it's just a warning, I think.
Not a ban or farewell.

The guidelines are set out and fairly relaxed, I think.

Carry on posting .......

We may not always agree with the mods. I often feel leaving posts up might be better. I’m not a mod though, thankfully. It must feel like herding cats at times

I agree with leaving posts. We are adults and from what I've seen over many years most posters are not fragile flowers or pearl clutchers and can ignore posts we don't like.

Not madness at all, in fact very sensible.
It’s simply a warning.

You’ve not been right on your predictions about this war’s progression so far Oreo, but I admire your ability to remain optimistic about the outcome. I wish I was able to share that optimism.

I was talking of the warning to Caleo, are you on the wrong thread?

Sorry, I assumed you were talking about the attack, I obviously wasn’t paying attention.

Ah well, you and your sidekicks can carry on. Pretty soon you'll be talking to yourselves.

I don't think the green party represent the environment anymore, they represent something else now.

I think they represent the environment still, but have other equally important policies (important to them)

I would actually say they are further left leaning than our current Labour Party.

I’m only speaking from looking at their top, most up to date policies as published, not from Polanski’s “speeches” or lists on X.

I di your post about "progressives" Galaxy thanks. However I am intrigued who are the far left and the ultra left to which nanna8 and cumbrianmale56 refer. In what way they have been dangerous and aggressive and who has the mockney accent?

LemonJam Mon 04-May-26 11:34:24

The only ultra left person I'm aware of is George Galloway and he has a Scottish accent. I couldn't name one Socialist Worker Party person Ive seen mention of in the press myself.

Galaxy Mon 04-May-26 11:32:03

Myself and casdon have just spent quite a long time talking about this lemonjam.
