[Tolmie scores]

The Daily Telegraph is poisonous when it comes to City. It really is. Ducker, Sam Wallace, Jason Burt and the 'diminutive' Chris "Diddy" Bascombe" et. al, just cannot wait to put the knife in when it comes to City. There is also a racist, anti-Arab, anti-muslim tone in a lot of their articles. Maybe it's because of the impending takeover - who knows but is it quite sinister? Funnily enough, the Guardian reported on the Savio transfer and they were fair, balanced and objective in their report, which was refreshing for a change. The so-called "journalists" at the Telegraph are individually and collectively a nasty piece of work.

....and Tories!

IIRC Alan Oakes was manager of Chester at the time and he told City to get down there and sign him.

I certainly did. ;)

Doesn't the UK government label Hamas as a terrorist organisation?

Not sure of your point?

Not sure of your point?

not labelling Hamas as a terror organization isn't the BBC reporting on the news correctly.

This isn’t the thread for it and I have no desire to dip my toe in the politics forum.

It’s also irrelevant to the point I was addressing, which was about the BBC not being required to reflect the views of UK population. I made no comment on whether the BBC reports accurately.

I appealed their decision and got this reply:

Dear BBC User,
In this instance, we believe the moderator made the correct decision so we will be unable to uphold your appeal... we are unable to discuss this matter further.

Based on what Paladin suggested, I might copy and paste the cheat comment in dipper and rag comments sections and see if they delete them. If so, you'd think any complaint would be well founded!

How can a potentially libellous comment not break house rules!!

i went to school with him guess how I feel!

Are these the Mittons from Urmston and Flixton if so, I used to court a girl from there many moons ago. If it is, his parents, grandparents were cunts also.

I know but the person you commented on did, I was just saying and agree on the politics part

[tolmie's hairdoo]

How can Ronay comment on what "many neutrals" think seeing as he is totally lacking in neutrality ? He's just a wanker playing to the gallery.

And being investigated himself...
