But Houston, we have a problem when posters from elsewhere can steam in here and make cracks about our not being "adults" and continue unscathed when we all know how much we UK DUers value a space where we can have sensible, sometimes immoderate, conversations and fight our own internecine battles in relatively civil terms without having to start from scratch in every discussion or put up with being treated like an ignorant underclass on DU.

And this is about a lot more for me than who's leader of the Labour Party, it's about media perceptions, and how they've screwed over our country, what's left of it, for too many years and those who do their donkeywork for them.

There's pretty much every other forum on DU where people can vent that stuff as much as they want. We only have this place.

Just IMO. You're the mod.

I never said anything about Corbyn's supporters RogueTrooper Jun 2016 #6
No, you're NOT getting an apology. Denzil_DC Jun 2016 #7
I don't think many people care about Corbyn or Milne in Scotland RogueTrooper Jun 2016 #8
None of which is particularly relevant to this thread n/t Denzil_DC Jun 2016 #9
Nope, but it was relevant to your last comment RogueTrooper Jun 2016 #10
Whatever. Denzil_DC Jun 2016 #11

Damning?! Denzil_DC Jun 2016 #4
I'll just leave these here: Blue_Tires Jun 2016 #14
Well, now I'm convinced. Denzil_DC Jun 2016 #16
Not sure why you're lashing out at me Blue_Tires Jun 2016 #18
Maybe because you've waltzed in here and are being an arse? Just a guess. Denzil_DC Jun 2016 #20

I'm a host not a mod and speaking in my own capacity! LeftishBrit Jun 2016 #23
I didn't take it as so, just I've risen to some bait on this thread Denzil_DC Jun 2016 #24
I'm fed up with the media too. Have been for a long time.. LeftishBrit Jun 2016 #25
