Some of you guys need to get over yourselves.
If you have an issue with the moderation you ought to take it up with the site owner and if you get no joy leave.
You can't be much more silent than posting anonymously on an internet forum which is password protected and not visible to google. Therefore I wouldn't worry about the traitorous Lord Haw Haw* contaminating too many minds with his blatant propaganda after you've gone.
* aka someone with a different viewpoint in this case
Or just sign up with a new username of course. TBH I'm not sure why nobody's every thought of that before.
I should copyright the idea or something. Maybe we could bring Generali back using similar means. She seemed to have some interesting posts.Money doesn’t make you happy—it makes you unhappy in a better part of town. David Siegel0 -

Yet you say "get over yourselves"; righty-ho.
Pot.
Kettle.
As for asking the site about moderation, try it.
Or even (if you're disinclined) try reading what is written about the moderation instead of trying the holier-than-though approach which, let's be honest, does not at all correspond with your posting style.
Just as your quoted post very clearly shows.
I note the "after you've gone" comment - are you then one of these deliberate post-reporters or do you merely encourage these?
I am not and will not be going BTW.
Someone needs to argue against the often immoral and/or corrupt stances shown so frequently in these forums.
Being an anonymous forum is not free licence to spread deceit and corruption.
As I said yesterday;So you think it okay to lie and cheat?
Well I don't.
It is reprehensible behaviour TBH, no matter how you view it.0 -
60m English speakers are about to leave the EU therefore the influence of English speakers in the EU will be less. It was meant as a wry dig but it's true.
It doesn't matter one bit.
They will still do business with us and we with them. Business will decide, not Junker or any other EU bureaucrat.0 -
In the Independent today it looks like Michel Barnier is saying that 'We will not discuss our future relationship with the UK until the 27 member states are reassured that all citizens will be treated properly and humanely'.

As far as the UK goes though he includes those with no proof of residency.
Regardless, perhaps he forgot that Theresa May offered to discuss this and was refused:“We want to guarantee the rights of EU citizens who are already living in Britain and the rights of Britons in other member states as early as we can,” she said. “I have told EU leaders we could do that now,” she said. “Many of them favour such an agreement, one or two others do not,” she said.
Sky News reported on Tuesday night that Angela Merkel was one of those who did not agree, but this was not confirmed.0 -

In the eyes of British people especially, never mind all those affected.
All of a sudden it goes from a matter not important enough to discuss to one requiring immediate attention?0 -

TM offered a simple and quick solution to Juncker at 'that dinner' protecting EU nationals here and Brits in the EU. Juncker said it was too complex to be done quickly. It always is with the EU.If I don't reply to your post,
you're probably on my ignore list.0 -

I think it's clear that the EU does not want a deal they are being plain obstructive now. Perhaps it would be best for May to stop even trying.0 -
A massive €100bn Brexit bill is ‘legally impossible’ to enforce, the European Commission’s own lawyers have admitted.
The Telegraph has seen minutes of internal deliberations circulated by Brussels’ own Brexit negotiating team which had warned against pursuing the UK for extra payments.
But member states appear to have ignored the Commission's own advice by demanding €100bn from the Government - a sharp hike in the original demand of €60bn.
The inflated bill deepened the rift between Brussels and Downing Street. A leaked report of a Downing Street dinner with European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker accused Theresa May of living in “another galaxy”, prompting the Prime Minister in turn to accuse EU politicians and officials of seeking to disrupt the general election.
