I know you guys have a tough job and appreciate you doing your best, but why do threads only disappear when they have already evolved? Surely it would be better to bar talk about politics, rather than risk accusations of bias as to when you delete or sink threads? I posted the following on the 0.1% thread but it seems to have gone? I have always advocated banning politics on here but if you don't do that then I would like the opportunity to respond to the misguided youths that have not grown up yet and can't fathom the realities of life.
Anyway, my post was...
Didn't want to join this debate, but I will. Working in the public sector, I have suddenly found that there are huge amounts of funds available for marketing. We have been told to spend additional millions on PR for the sector we work in. Do you think this is wise during a recession? Should we be spending more taxpayers money on saying how good things are? When does the belt tightening needed start? Are they trying to saddle an incoming government with as much debt as they can whilst trying to spend taxpayers money as PR for their own achievements? Working in the education sector, we are struggling to decide how this money would be well spent, what can you say that this government have achieved, apart from spending a lot of money? Where are the results for their spending of our money? One sector is doing ok, the spending on training union officials out of the public purse has soared, funny that, seeing as they are the labour party's only source of funding, you rub my back etc. The sooner they are gone the better. They have achieved nothing. They have spent billions every year on health which shows no results, unless you count the number of employees in the health sector as a good thing, well all those useless managers would be out of a job I suppose. They have spent billions each year on education, the results are good, gcse and a level results go up every year so it must be good, but anyone really think that aiming for 40% to go to uni is a good thing? Where's the resulting boost to the economy? Seems to be more about keeping people off the dole and NEET figures. Don't start me on defence, why are so many helicopters needed by uk forces sitting in hangars unusable? Because they wanted to save money on the software so when they bought them asked for no software and decided to do it themselves, resulting in said helicopters being unavailable to the troops 5 years after buying them.
I have a brother who is a Rupert in Afghanistan, a sister who is a nurse, another brother in old bill, another brother who works for merill lynch, another sister who is an ex pat who works in finance, I myself worked in parliament for 6 years so know how the so called socialists have been feathering their nests and what hypocrites they are, so don't give me any of the old bollox about not knowing what I am talking about. The criminal justice system works in the accused favour, immigration controls are non existent and the gap between rich and poor grows all the time we have a labour government. I don't think Tories have all the answers, but the sooner we get rid of this bunch of self serving twats the better.
Labour isn't working, again!
RANT OVER, discuss!

Sensible debating is ok, i don't think politics gets as personal as the other stuff does. But overall I agree, this is a football forum and that should be the focus.
That being said, I don't (and I doubt AFKA et al) want to be "nazi admin" and tell people what they can and can't post.
If it gets out of hand we'll deal with it. There have been a number of debates on here, including politics that have a decent run and there are others that kick off straight away - those ones will get nipped in the bud while others its only fair to see how they pan out for those who actually want to intelligently converse.
