Lol, now I get it.
Hopefully this is a new dawn from both sides.....we all need to play nice...me included
I've never not mate. I post as I always will. If people dont like it then they can **** off. Simples
I only come here to see what ridiculous comment he comes out with next.
He's getting toward Saxton like status, a long way to go but he's gaining more interest.

Well to be fair and (I’m no angel) but some of name-calling and goading by some actually p’d off other posters rather than me. Referring to posters as 'Eelers', 'Princess' and 'racist' was not only unnecessary but childish.
Nines was right to shut this thread down Sunday week and he asked people to behave but sadly only yesterday I see the word 'Princess' used twice on the other thread. The same thing that got this thread shut down before. Does no one listen? All it does is P-off the mods because the posters are not respecting them.
Just to clarify I don't 'chuck my toys out of the pram'. If I feel during the debate there is ganging up and goading I walk away. It's never been me who told the board they were leaving and never coming back... then came back! And on that note just to clarify Never did I speak to or contact any mod over Wills. A lot of nasty stuff said about me regarding that and it was all wrong. No apologies though?
Like a couple of others, I have retired from the Coronavirus thread because it's now become 'them v us'. You can see each day that people are just getting bored with snide comments and insults. It's now become worse than the politics thread around election time!
Finally, as I have said, I come on here because I am a QPR fan and enjoy the footy banter. Agree, I can be brash/annoying but generally, I get on with the majority of posters on here, on text, at matches. I am no ones 'heroin' or 'fix', if people don't like what I say.. do what I do and don't reply.

Going to work now but would still appreciate any comments or answers to my previous posts about the inherent racism in the Conservative party.
Working till 7am so will try to pop in when quiet
To be honest Bob, the only thing in my head is wondering when I will be going back to work. What you need to do is to stop spending so much time worrying about other posters and get on with your own life.

It's all about you, Ellers.
Maybe this time it is? Now do you have anything to debate or are you going to continue to be a WUM?
My view is there is a racism problem in both the Tory Party and Labour. I think most people believe the Anti-Semitism problem has been grossly mishandled as a direct result of Corbyn's lack of leadership, why have so many Jewish MPs and those Jewish support groups felt it necessary to leave the Party? Starmer has promised to stamp this out but will undoubtedly meet opposition from the Momentum wing of the Party where this seems to be strongest, if he can't assert himself over this then he will struggle to be seen as a viable PM.
On the other hand the Tory racism is more subtle but undoubtedly there are right wing elements of the Party in 'Farage Territory'. The purge of the Pro-EU MPs has moved the Party's MPs to a more right wing stance and Boris has been coming out with the 'One Nation' rhetoric to counter this. The current crisis has forced them to massive spending that will dwarf anything seen previously, how long before they have to choose how to pay for it? The NHS workers have shown just how reliant we are on those from abroad but I feel there are some long entrenched views in the Party that need to change, the next two or three years will tell us whether this will happen, I won't hold my breath...
I agree with most of this, think you’re letting the Torys off lightly but nice to see a well rounded reasoned post.
Some interesting points Sooper and I can agree with some of that (not all. probably the first section.) all parties will have their idiots. You won't be able to put a number on it. As far as I know, locally I have never met any neo-types unless you count the WI or the local the Young Conservatives society?
I have already posted that I have never seen it. If it's about then there will be an inquiry and then we will see.
Thanks for your well thought out post Soops.....appreciated as always.
I'd be amazed if there weren't Farage 'sympathisers' in most Tory local parties. I've certainly had passengers that were quite openly of that persuasion who worked in the City...
I’m just really surprised you never saw it Ellers....as trust me, it was definitely there. Maybe you were too young at the time.
And I’m still not convinced about the ‘NF’/ Miner thing.......if you could supply evidence it would be an eye opener for me.
There won’t be an inquiry because it was the ****ing strategy to attract those ****s because vast swathes of the country sympathise with their views. It’s not something they are going to pretend to regret.

One thing I will emphasise though Sooper, and I know it’s one of those things that’s been done to death on here....There should be a clear definition between someone being ‘anti’ the Israeli regime and what they are doing to the Palestinian people and with someone who is ‘anti’ Jewish.....agree with a few ****s this might equate to the same thing but to the vast majority there is a major difference.
People should be allowed to criticise the Israeli state and the atrocities they carry out without being labelled as ‘anti Semitic’
