I just think it would be nice if anyone slight left is centre is not demonised by the right wing press. Or anyone slightly right of centre demonised by social media dominated by the left..

Can anyone else hear the sharpening of political knives? Hopefully a cull of Momentum influence and the country finally gets an opposition party.

As we're in 'uncharted territory' I'd be surprised if the Government are certain they've got the strategy right. We're definitely on a big learning curve. Hopefully we will learn from this with the least amount of deaths possible. IMO it's good there is going to be more cross-party discussion on the issue. Great post. How we cope with this situation is thoroughly human. We do our best, work with what we have in terms of knowledge and equipment. No one knows, no one has a definitive solution .. why some want to make this some sort of, we the Left or Right have a monopoly of how to do it and our opponents are useless .. really deserve no credibility at all because their motives have nothing to do with solving the problem. I am delighted Starmer is getting involved early doors, he is an intelligent man and will certainly add to the mix of sensible voices he will have credibility when questioning or supporting govt action.

I just though clapping Utch's personal attack on G Star was poor taste for a moderator. To post and to applaud. Considering other posters in the same sector who agreed with him didn't get the same response? So it's easy to conclude the intent. Couldn't really care about warning points etc. Never reported a post, never will. You probably do a good job as moderator. Just thought that was a poor choice of post to applaud.

I find it odd to be criticised for favouring some posters over others. Of course I do. I think everyone does. I read the post again and I don't think it constitutes a personal attack. If you report these things, other mods will have an input. Maybe I'm wrong. Not sure what you mean by the highlighted part. I work in food production as well, so fully empathise with what he's saying much of the time. I don't recall anyone else posting anything about working in food production, in crowded lines where there's barely space for a pallet let alone 2m space from the person moving it.

Don't recall anything wrong with having to work out financial projections. Just as important, no? Not saying you can't favour some posters over others, it would be impossible not to. But that post, and you agreeing to it was unfair. From 2 moderators point of view, imo. Not worthy of anyone taking it any further or getting anyone else involved. That may be the prison officer in me talking though. As for the highlighted part, there is a post 3 posts under with someone agreeing about having to rip up projections.....nobody questioned it. Plus, let's have it right, that post has nothing to do with food production lines. And everything to do with telling someone you both clearly don't like to get his head out of his arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to be able to report posts, however this privilege was removed from me with no explanation given. I did ask why and was told I had reported things I shouldn't but no examples were provided. it's hard to know what we should or shouldn't report if we are just blocked with no explanation.

As an attempt to get you to realise there's more important things concerning people's lives right now, and your post was very "woe is me, I'm doing financial projections". The generosity of the members of this board will help hungry families feed themselves. That's real life stuff. Financial projections seem irrelevant right now. Utch seemed a bit wound up, but he's likely at the sharp end of life right now. Feel free to use the laughing emoji on this post, if it makes you feel better.

The fact that the poster said absolutely nothing to another poster who agreed with me and said almost exactly the same thing, would suggest it's a personal attack on me.
