New British Summertime resolution Steve
The moderators have been made fully aware of this feller's political connections and the possibility that he has been planted here by them, but are under fairly clear instructions not to do anything about him - we can all draw our own conclusions as to why that is - even Max seems to have been persuaded that there's no harm in him
I doubt if anybody believes that they are unable to do anything to stop him - they deal with those of us who try to stop him damn quick enough and they've closed more threads than they left open on his behalf

Can I suggest that we give Baccy and Dave's suggestion that we try Dave's way and blank him completely a try - send him to Coventry, totally ignore him, boycott him, leave him to wallow in his own swill, ignore him, pretend he isn't there (he isn't really anyway)...
He is what he is, were not going to change him and nobody who counts follows him, and he knows it, so he settles for second best and just fucks up interesting threads that he doesn't understand till he gets them closed (with our help)
Let's not help him any more - radio silence when we're in enemy territory it what they're always saying on 'Talking Pictures' let's hope we haven't done too much damage and we get the decent posters like Dave and Baccy back posting regularly and maybe some decent Government supporters who appear to not want to be tarred by his brush - fingers crossed
This will possibly be deleted, but I'll post it around an usual if it is
