The BBC apologise for Emily Maitlis. 19:19 - May 27 with 11284 views | tractordownsouth | What a load of nonsense. Nothing she said was inaccurate Dominic Cummings broke the rules - FACT He's made many people feel they can flout the rules - FACT, the police have said people have used Cummings as an excuse when being told off for breaking the rules Public mood is anger at Cummings - FACT, literally all opinion polls have a large majority for him to resign, or at least apologise As Mr O'Brien says, you cannot balance fact with fiction. |  |

The BBC apologise for Emily Maitlis. on 22:06 - May 27 by Marshalls_Mullet | You'd have to ask Phil for the exact reason for its removal. The link has been removed, so it could have been down to interpretation. I wasn't the only one to interpret it that way. As the moderator saw fit to remove it, I will give you the benefit of the doubt. |
Well that's big news. Willful idiots with an axe to grind read whatever they want into a statement because it suits them to. Big whoop. I just call it lying though. That's my opinion. Doesn't matter what you think anyway, I know what I said. |  |

The BBC apologise for Emily Maitlis. on 22:06 - May 27 by m14_blue | I’m not sure that’s fair. Disagreeing with someone’s views, and arguing robustly against them, isn’t the same as being intolerant of it. This forum, and life in general, would be very dull if everyone went around agreeing with each other or just saying ‘agree to disagree’ without any debate. I agree with you re personal insults but you do rather go on the wind up sometimes tbf. Spruce got pelters in that thread that you use an example, from people on all sides. |
"I agree with you re personal insults but you do rather go on the wind up sometimes tbf." Don't get sucked in - it's deliberate and he's always done it. Provoke, cry about insults, poke some more, play victim... It's the same groundhog routine. |  |

Actually I didn't. I got a few fake outrage blubs from people who didn't actually read what I wrote. But those were just the usual suspects. Mainly the same half wits who got all up in arms that time I compared Farage to a cancer on British politics. [Post edited 27 May 2020 22:11]

I agree that debate is healthy, and perhaps that something a bring to the forum. I don't intend to wind up, but I guess sometimes I defend myself too robustly. I have now given Spruce the benefit of the doubt re his comment on the PM that was removed. I like your balanced and considered response! |  |

I do know. Phil was polite enough to pm me to tell me why it was taken down. His reason was not the same one you've invented though. Unsurprisingly he didn't feel the need to also explain to you. |  |

Phil is a man of honour, I wouldn't expect him to tell me why he had removed an offensive post. Unless of course I was the author, and that's never happened. |  |

That and the fact that it wasn't any of your business of course... Honestly bud, go do something productive. You've had a shocker on here today. Jeera being a Momentum plant will go down in history as one of your more ridiculous posts! [Post edited 27 May 2020 22:25]

Like I said the other day (before he cried off to Phil and got the post deleted), everything about him suggests he's a troll account that can't be bothered to stick to his own bit properly or just a genuine thicko. Either way he's a sad case. |  |
