It really is a laugh a minute reading all this wild conjecture about what got a thread closed. The conspiracy theorists here haven't a clue as to what really happened and are making complete arses of themselves. It's also quite amusing to contemplate the off-topic ditherings of our Hertford compatriot, who, in different times, is very much given to bollocking all and sundry about going off-topic, especially if it's in one of his own sacred Israel threads or something or other. Get over yourselves, chaps. It's gone. Done and dusted. Rung down the curtain and gone to join the choir invisible. It's fallen off its perch (to which it wasn't properly nailed). It has ceased to be. Shuffled off its mortal coils. It's an ex-thread - and it's all your fault. Nothing to do with me or anybody else who you do charmingly and boringly call "usual suspects." This one 'ere is a brexit thread. Let's go with that idea, shall we? Adelante! Excelsior! We live in serious times, so try to be serious!
