"I think it is a lost cause, Barb'ry :-(

I'm not sure what can be done apart from ban UK politics altogether. Sadly that means the people that want to shut down the criticism of the present government have won on here "

DtG - Let's not give into defeatism, mudcat mates..

We mustn't let the bully boy censors win,
whatever tactics they use to shut up debate.....

I don't have time or desire to find another internet site,
with a new crowd of folks to talk politics with..

I've too much time invested here with you lot..

..for better or worse...

This is the only place I know that's enough like a 'friendly' local pub or club
with old familiar faces

Sites likes facebook and twitter are more like scrawling hit-and-run graffiti on a bog door...
