Wish I had seen it. I dislike posts being deleted as I have repeatedly said. How can we judge for ourselves or defend ourselves when it happens.

Greatnan Sat 13-Apr-13 13:04:24

Don't worry Pogs, I can't remember what it was myself! I posted something then went out for a long walk and now it has gone. It can't have been important though.

absent Sat 13-Apr-13 13:06:44

Greatnan I don't know about important but it was perspicacious.

Sel Sat 13-Apr-13 20:47:33

I did see it earlier this morning . It referred to me but the content neither suprised or upset me.

j08 Sat 13-Apr-13 20:53:33

I did n' t see it, but I'm glad you weren't upset by it Sel

Ana Sat 13-Apr-13 21:08:39

Sel smile

annodomini Sat 13-Apr-13 21:12:26

Presumably someone must have reported it.

Sel Sat 13-Apr-13 23:14:24

Just as a little ps to this thread, which hopefully has died a death, I was passing through Trafalgar Square this evening about 8.30pm expecting to fight my way through thousands of anti Thatcher demonstrators, there was a rather pathetic turnout, I imagine less than a hundred youngsters; maybe it was the rain. Remembering the IRA campaign and being involved in one bomb and close to two others, seeing the Irish flag being waved sort of put these people in perspective. Chatting to a policewoman, we agreed, wet was good. I hope Wednesday is as peaceful.

Anno I don't know if someone reported it, I thought possibly HQ deleted of their own accord.

Thanks Ana and j0
