from what i remember of the bbc boards - most discussions towards the end seemed to attract the abuse and right wing hostility of 'unkle boko' - new posts became less frequent and some posters mentioned 'mudcat' a place where folk and anything else (politics) could be discussed/argued without such boring censorship as imposed by the bbc. i came here from there and appreciate the wide range of views and do my best not to get involved with slagging off individuals - though feel slagging political ideologies is totally fair game. don't mind if others insult each other though and i like a bit of thread drift. real conversations involve interesting diversions and a bit of piss-taking -
and no censorship.
