As George Orwell wrote in The Road to Wigan Pier "Socialism means justice and common decency".
A couple of further Orwell quotes, relevant to this message board, are.
"If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."
"Free speech is my right to say what you don't want to hear."

although the corollary of the third one, which people tend to like less, is that: "free speech means that i must hear things i may not want to hear".
And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

Totally agree and I wasn't referring to you, Leitrim, Badger or numerous other very good people on here.
The two that I remember particularly were both banned & haven't, as far as I'm aware, returned. Was going to say it's strange they haven't been mentioned in this thread, but perhaps that's because there was so little controversy over their going, it being obvious that they were regularly abusive in the extreme.

Do you ever question if running this site is worth the aggro?!
He’s one of the worst on here. I don’t know what’s happened to Phil lately. He was all positive the last couple of years, but this season all he does is post about losses and injuries. He needs to pack it in before it affects the team.
As a liberal, I wouldn't regard it as a corollary, but instead as an integral part of the third one because of the ambulatory nature of "my".

absolutely, but is that understanding widespread? we have talk of curtailing free speech on the basis of 'harms'. but does 'harms' mean preparing and inciting violence or does 'harms' mean upsetting people. it's a spectrum and far from simple, but on the basis of what is reported today home office officials seem to be further towards the not upsetting people end than i would like.

Im sort of with you in this genre but theres a lot worse than queen. Kiss for a start. Bon Jovi. All that sort of soft rock with cliched power chords, rubbish verses and predictable solos.

Sorry its a dodgy video but I've always liked this version, especially when you take into account Freddie must have been quite ill by then

Not to mention constantly posting about deleted threads and banned users.
