Racist crap on these boards
Comments

I agree if it is the wrong direction, but who is saying you can fool those percentages of people? Most people access a large amount of individual life experiences when forming such opinions and are not easily led.
No, most people read the Sun and watch the News and form their opinions based on what media outlets tell them and what Dave down the road tells them. Most people are influenced by a climate of fear and whispers of discontent.
This isn't Ask the Audience on Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Just because a large percentage of people hold a certain opinion, doesn't mean the rest of us are automatically wrong.0 -

I would agree with you, lostinrates, particular parties programs with regard to the economy etc is fair game. Even if one of them is the BNP. I think the conversation would be very short, though, because none of them are willing to say anything much about the policies they intend to carry out after the next general election.
As you saw, ten posts.
I don't think lack of information is the only problem. I think lack of undertanding/interest/education is at least as great. Why release reams of information on th economy if the public manage ten posts on economy and 10 pages on race?:rolleyes: . We bring this on ourselves.

I'm reasonably comfortable with the moderating by Misskool. Better than it was previously, for sure.0

martin...these boards have been targeted by the bnp on purpose..they are doing it to a lot of forums at the moment..
I'm sorry, this sounds so conspircy theorist. I know have visions of you all sat there tapping away at the keyboard with tinfoil hats. :rotfl:

a lot of the immigration threads on the board that is the subject of this thread are both (a) repetitive and (b) of questionable relevance to the point of the board.
i don't think there is really a freedom of speech issue here, which misskool constantly refers to - the threads that keep appearing just aren't really relevant a lot of the time- when this happens with other subjects, the thread gets quickly moved to discussion time / the arms / whatever. the immigration threads need to be treated in the same way, especially when the first post is borderline relevant and the rest descends into a general discussion about immigration with no relevance to the subject of the board.
if it isn't going to be moved, then perhaps all the threads which always end up discussing the same old issues (which is what the people starting the threads seem to want) can they at least be combined into one thread by the board guides. please?0 -

To me it just doesn't make any sense at all. I would be extremely disappointed to hear if they were the same - DD is articulate and posts with logic and intelligence - Topov: not so much.

A quick read through their previous posts show distinct similarities! PM me if you want me to clarify, don't really want to 'out' someone in public when it involves their personal circumstances.Gone ... or have I?0 -

It's bad enough when we can't move in here for anti-immigration threads and hate threads, but when you try and make a stand against it and you're set upon by the BNP supporters and even a board guide (who I feel also harbours BNP sympathies and I know dislikes BTLers), then it's time to go.
I will give you one last prediction, and it's not to do with house prices or the economy - it's about this board. Unless martin and the team take the racist overtones that pervade this board seriously, then it will continue to grow until it results in this board being deleted. With misskool as a BG you don;t stand a chance.
Cheerio, and enjoy the 'I hate foreigners' crap from the likes of dervish and ultra10, etc.
You let it all get to you didn't you?
Millions of our men died fighting this kind of evil, shame a little twerp like dervish is ruining what is normally a half decent forum.0
