I accept that there have been some insults flying around .. quite creative as well and some very cutting.
Your on a golf forum just trotting right wing views out.

I missed the one about suggesting you suck Tory genitalia .. or you have paraphrased it .. But I will say, you get reflected back at you, your behaviour.
I don't want to come on here and just read right wing propoganda /lies, there must be another forum, that you can find like minded people who will agree with you and will accept your opinions as totally normal.

I am disappointed that the moderators have not stepped in enough, but I know they volunteer and have better things to do with their time than stop tit for tat exchanges and WE should know better but, your a perpetual winder and fire starter.

I would advise you wind it back in and count to 10 and keep it to yourself... I will do the same and I am sure there are others who will as well.

110% true, ive generally stopped replying to SR as all you get back is bile, when ever he gets caught out he resorts to insults. I am staggered how he gets away with it

Ah your talking about countries that were initially in the communist block. Interesting that when that block broke up the fighting started .. does suggest that the method of holding the block together did not work as well as the EU method.
I’ll leave you to ponder that a bit longer.

I was just correcting your statement about Europe . Didn't realize it was about different political systems within Europe.

That's fair enough your response made me think deeper into the European situation and it was a very valid observation but brought up the different political systems at play

What part of IT WASN’T AIMED AT YOU do you not get, my post was all about some people adding nothing to the thread and when confronted throw out insults.
The irony in your post proved it, from your posts you seem to lean to the right of politics, imo, and those on the right lazily go for the “snowflake” remark and don’t even consider a debate.

Look, there's something not right here.
This is your post 788, which is the reply you made.
"
I’d suggest you take a look at who “likes” your posts and in the tone of the post you initially answered.....stop being a snowflake. "

Nowhere does "IT WASNT AIMED AT YOU" appear. Maybe you are replying to many posts at a quick rate and have them mixed up, but you need to check because this has not made you look too good!
In any event, I now know it wasn't aimed at me , but your comment suggests that I am on "your list" as right wing . I must be wary of the knock on the door , come the revolution .
You talk of irony quite often. I am the son and grandson of miners.
being called right wing by you is what I would call ironic!

I live in a colliery village, plenty of people living here are right wing, so not sure of your point.
I also said you lean to the right, ie conservative, didn’t say right wing.
The snowflake comment was also followed by a “winking emoji” to add a bit of humour and not to be took serious.
 
Australian High Commissioner claims they will not share security info with a Corbyn government.

Meanwhile Labour has chosen to alienate the UK's Indian community - I'm wondering why they choose to make such obviously contentious comments at this time !!

His track record on "friends" is a matter of record.

Same reason the Labour Party have gone anti Jewish Community

In a way I find it somewhat reassuring that Labour have robust enough defence/security in place to be able to repel such an attack.

Sounds like it was a Denial of Service attack. Easily detected and relatively straightforward to combat. Aim of such an attack is simply to overwhelm the servers being attacked to the extent that they grind to a halt and/or keel over under the load. Aim in this instance would be to halt Labour Party comms/social media systems and operations - to a halt if possible. Also sounds like the LP systems security and loadbalancing was up to scratch.

BBC seems to have rolled back their stance as GCHQ's specialists are suggesting it wasn't serious or sustained. Unsurprisingly there are counterclaims and conspiracy theories springing up.

Could be right

A Labour source said that attacks came from computers in Russia and Brazil but the BBC's Gordon Corera has been told the attack was not linked to a state.
Our security correspondent said he had been told the attack was a low-level incident - not a large-scale and sophisticated attack.

Anybody who runs a computer using the Linux OS (or other 'Open' OS) rather than Microsoft can easily set their Web activity up to be anonymous and so it then seems to come from another country/location/server. There are 'organisations' on the 'Dark Web' who will do it for a fee; so, unfortunately, it is not too difficult.

It can be done with a VPN. You can select a country and server, it then creates a different ip address from that country. I expect theirs is more complex that that though.
