Oh Nigel - you really do enjoy stoking the seething anger and discontent of the moaning miseries calling into your LBC radio prog.

Small potatoes compared with the huge pro EU resources of the BBC, hand picked audiences at Question Time, the panel having 3:1 Remainer ratio - and just for fun, look at the front page of BBC Websie. Just for fun, randomly check each day for the next week. Count how many EU flags you see versus the Union Flag. Amusing! Plus the slanted news on dozens of local and national TV and Radio stations.

Do you really support silencing those people you disagree with?

I don’t believe I said anyone should be denied access to any thread.

It’s quite clear that whilst SILH has been over the top a number of times on this and the other political threads it’s also clear there are certain others on the other side goading and stirring the pot as well. The tone has been as bad on both sides of the fence from a number of people

If people don’t like what SILH posts then just ignore him - it’s not hard and people can still post in the thread their own opinion about the subject without having to respond to SILH.

Then why not aim something at SILH rather than all at the other poster then? By just ignoring SILH you are effectively denied access to the thread because by his behaviour SILH IS the thread.

Because whilst SILH post was a rant - it was a rant at the person who the topic was about and was aimed solely at Mr Farage - the other poster just responded sarcastically aimed at SILH which just creates a load posts starting to get personal and having nothing to do with the thread at all but more about a personal issue that Old Skier clearly has with SILH as can be seen by his constant battles with him over multiple threads - both contribute to the thread becoming nothing but tit for tat - something that the Art 50 thread has gone beyond.

But people can’t just ignore him SILH - they have this desire that they must respond and they must ensure that the posts get aimed specifically at SILH as opposed to the thread subject itself.

If these people have such a big issue with what SILH is saying that means they must respond negatively then just report it to the mods - as opposed to responding with posts that are clearly going to create a reaction from SILH

It’s the reason why just don’t bother responding to certain people - it’s just posting to look to get a reaction

SILH May annoy the hell out of most when it comes to the EU issue but it doesn’t appear that he is doing it deliberately to get to people

So why not respond with a pm to SILH advising him to put Old Skier on ignore rather than posting at Old Skier publicly and taking another thread off track :confused:

Looking at his last post I think it could be that he might himself have issues or he could be just acting as the worlds Internet policeman. Either way I'm not concerned and will not endevour to follow his fine example that he sets on the footie thread.

i would just like to say publicly on an open forum that I have no issues with SILH contrary to LPs post or indeed any other poster, my issues are only with the substance of posts and not the poster.

Did you catch Question Time last night? Not sure where it was from but I saw some of it including the start (before switching to classic 80s Arnie movie Commando:o) and the audience came over as something like 75-80% towards strong leave voters, many of whom seemed quite bullish. I thought it was biased but not for remain, on this occasion anyway. Perceptions can be misleading of course.

Deepest Yorkshire somewhere I believe, Barnsley rings a bell.

My wife stopped me watching that months ago :D I saw a clip of a Barnsley Man on Twitter giving it plenty! So, no reason to doubt what you say, other that to add "about time!" Maybe they'll lay off a bit after the vote this week which effectively ends "meaningful" Brexit.

Why don’t you ignore him if what he posts annoy or offend you that much ?

For as much as Hogan doesn’t stop going on about Trump or Art 50 you appear to always be the first to reply to him following him around like a puppy waiting for him to post next so you can have a go at him

Maybe stop replying to him and half the issue on the political threads would go away

I see Nige is in the paper claiming that fighting for Brexit has left him skint and single. I think that screwing the French lodger might have helped. Oh, and that £73k pension from that horrid EU might help matters. 😂😂😂
 
I was just about to give a tenner to starving kids in Africa. Thanks. You've helped me to find something much more worthwhile to the human race. Now, I'll stick another tenner in if I can nominate a co pilot or two.
 
I have a dotty old 'acquaintance' who every now and again spouts 'Enoch was right you know'.

I wonder if in 60 years time we will have dotty old folk going around saying 'Nigel was right you know'.
 
Is off to meet Barnier today - because, he says, no-one is putting forward the views of Leave voters. Really. He really is very important - he clearly thinks. Well I hope he isn't his usual abusive Mr Smarm when speaking with Senior EU representatives. Will listen with interest 7pm this evening on LBC when he tells his listeners how he got on...

And you say listen to Blair. Is Blair very important? You want Blair to have a platform and to be listened to but not Farage....

The cornerstone of British law is the term “natural justice,” which starts with a point on bias. It then goes on to a point of the “right to be heard.” Your bias and affected affront at Farage’s right to be heard really goes against the very ethos of natural justice.

I can’t stand the man one jot but he has exactly the same right to be heard as Blair. Those that decry that right need to have a look at themselves.
