United Kingdom
In reply to the discussion: Is anyone up for asking admin to appoint a couple of us as hosts of the UK group? [View all]Denzil_DC
(7,188 posts)but I don't think Bad Dog was referring to "that" person as a right-winger (you'd have to ask him who he may have had in mind). After seeing "that" person's few posts over a number of months, I still have no idea where on the political spectrum he (she? it?) sits beyond predictable kneejerk hostility toward Corbyn and those perceived as supporting him.
I'm on record in the past as having said that I felt the regulars in this group generally rub along together OK without the need for hosts.
Let's be honest, I suspect any need for hosts on this group would decline enormously if we had a couple installed and they just blocked "that" person from United Kingdom (Group), after which they could resign if they wanted and we'd truck along as before. I haven't seen any other particularly off topic or baiting posts here, and I don't recall anyone else having posts hidden.
And yes, the difference in readings and comments when a UK topic or story is aired here compared to when it's posted on, say, Latest Breaking News, with a far wider range of (generally non-Brit) participants, is quite striking. It's sometimes as if we're discussing entirely different countries.
