    Maybe they think some of the reaction to his posts is more offensive than the posts he made in the first place?

    Another problem easily solved by them moving his garbage threads somewhere they belong.

    Oh dear.....I think we are taking ourselves a bit too seriously. Is it really necessary to snitch on posters you don't like. I'm just suprised you feel strong enough to care. I wouldn't dream of asking them to ban you or that White Horse loon.

    Snitching would be doing something in secret. My actions were the opposite, openly posting my dislike for DLW's habit of using this board to vent his biased spleen. I also pointed out openly on here that I tried to get the mods to moderate him.

    I'm very happy to be open about the poster's I dislike, which would certainly include you. However your posts are mainly just dull, bitter & sometimes containing accusations that you are unable to backup when challenged, I.e. pathetic overall but not worth reporting.

    No they don't.

    The deficit has fallen by roughly £20-30,000,000,000 since the Tories got in. The difference between the ONS, the IMF (who use the ONS stats) and you is that the first 2 have a Scooby.

    The money wasn't spent on anything that generated growth.

    So when income from financial services and activity generated from the UK property sector vanished overnight. A structural hole was all that was left.

    The economy was allowed to get ahead of itself. Party is over. The clearing up continues allied by by an almighty debt hangover.

    Exactly what I said ;)

    Quite telling post that. Your puffed up sense of self importance for one thing. I also wonder how you dislike someone you've never met? If you read DLW...he doesn't do personal. He stays political and doesn't engage. Unlike you and unlike me. You are the one venting your spleen. Mr self appointed internet warrior. There's enough vitriol and material in that post to keep an army of psychologists busy for a month. Keep taking the meds!;)

    Time and time again people have no memory of the billions that were also pumped into the NHS and education during the mid 2000's. You may not have agreed with that policy...but that's where all the money went!

    Why weren't they honest with the electorate that if they wanted the services they would have to pay for them? That's the issue I have. That and value for money, but that's a separate thread.
