Who’s Been Cancelled??

[Tony Baloney]

I don't see it being any different from a standard workplace. It shouldn't be the case but someone who is really good and valuable to the company will gutted treated differently for a transgression than some bluffer who you might be wanting rid of.

Corbyn another one in the political sphere - it was all very orchestrated against him.

Johnson is another level altogether. You could fill a book with stuff he has said / done that others would be destroyed for. You'd be quicker writing a book on truths he's told than lies he's told

It's mad,labour are so weak and the tories I think will successfully spin their disastrous covid response by showing  the success of the AZ rollout. Boris must be the master of political psychology

[sid waddell]

Boris Johnson is far from a master of political psychology or strategy

The reason the Tories win is pretty simple - Britain's overwhelmingly right-wing, jingoistic media have turned it into a managed "democracy" where nationalist spectacle reigns and truth is the enemy

If Britain had a media landscape like Ireland's, Labour would be in the position the Tories are, the Tories would be in the position the Lib Dems are, and the Lib Dems would be in the position Labour are

Boris is a figurehead for the media elites, vulture capitalists who want to continue to avoid paying taxes and stroke everyone else in the process.
Rishy is already being groomed by Rupert Murdock as his replacement.

Jingoistic nationalist spectacle is always a front for serious corruption

Ireland beware

A small commemoration of the RIC dead is the exact opposite of jingoistic nationalism

From the Rules at the top of the board:

9. 'Feuds'.
    On occasion, two or more posters become fixated with annoying each other, without necessarily descending into personal abuse per se. However this behaviour is very disruptive to whatever thread it breaks out it, and causes threads to be taken over by tit for tat insults. In a case such as this, a moderator may post a public and private warning for both posters to completely ignore the other, refraining from referring to, directing comments at, or answering the other poster. Disregarding this warning will result in a ban.

   Penalties - 1st offence after warning - 2 Days, 2nd Offence - 10 Days, Subsequent Offences - Recurring 15 Day bans.

Since both Angelo and Sid have served recent 2-day bans, the next level is a 10-day ban.

This was a complete and utter chickenshit decision btw. Sidney went around alleging I called him a rapist on here, I said nothing of the sort and I get banned because he clogs up the whole board making false allegations. It's pathetic stuff but it's clear you jump to the tune of a few posters on here.

I argue my points on here, I don't get hysterical like some posters you are happy to indulge. It's a mob rule on here and you ban posters who people shout the loudest about rather than on the rules you are meant to impose. You have allowed certain posters repeatedly insult me and others on here without ever taking any action against them, yet you have no problems holding these rules up to others. Maybe you should release a list of posters who the rules on here apply to and who they don't apply to, wouldn't that be something?

If you want to go ahead and give me a permanent ban for raising this issue then fire ahead. I actually don't mind, I'd rather have clarity that I can post with freedom and honesty rather than having to worry about the likes of trailer and RossFan behaving like a pair of 8 year olds.

If you want to go ahead and delete this post to try and suppress your obvious double standards and bias then shame on you.

Actually it's not like that at all, given that the RIC haven't existed for 100 years

Mandela actually made it his business when he took over to try and create a unified nation rather than a divided one

Sinn Fein love to compare themselves to the ANC - I suppose that makes sense given the rampant corruption within the ANC nowadays

That's exactly the future Sinn Fein aspire to - an effective one party state where they can cream off the profits for themselves

Brown envelopes from developers and turning a blind eye to the dodgy bankers over big dinners in the K club let alone the tent at the Galway races are not a Shinner thing TBH.

There's none as blind as those that don't want to see.

Shinners prefer to just rob banks

Tom McFeely was responsible for the biggest housing scandal in the history of this state

He was was a Shinner and a hunger striker

Shinners never talk about that
