Where's the P.M.? Shouldn't he be in view, not hiding away ?

Should have said 'jeers and sneers whoever the person is'

As to who reported Grandad and Jabberwok you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out who did it. Eer could it have been an easily offended left leaning vocal Corbyn or Starmer human rights lover lol. Bet their finger is hovering on the report button now.

Don't think it was as straightforward as that Firecracker123. Has no one remembered that just prior to me another male was banned from the forum and then quickly allowed back?

I think a further man joined GN a few weeks back, clashed on a political thread with one or two and then it was reported he was banned.

I could be wrong in the above in regard to the latter's gender and I would emphasise that I feel it is not GN management policy to in any way discriminate against men being members of the forum.

However, as I stated in an earlier post in this thread GN moderators can be placed in difficult positions at times and that I realise.

Goodness. This thread looks to be developing into an exercise of advanced paranoia!

Perhaps it's a case of he who pays the piper calls the tune!!!

Who funds xx. com, who pays to advertise on xx. com and which political party they support.

Anyway enjoy your posts Grandad even if you are a man lol

Aaargh there is a word for this and I cant think what it is, MN use it frequently.

This thread is way out of date anyway (at least a week!)

Now everyone's grumbling because he's everywhere he shouldn't be eg schools, shipyards. At least he was wearing protective gear at the shipyard, which should make you happy Grandad! Although that didn't please at least one poster!

Can't do right for doing wrong.

Hilarious. Conspiracy theories now !

I have no idea what has been going on on this thread, other than to say there are quite a few illegal raves going on this bank holiday weekend at which Boris could show up.

I haven't a clue either Ellianne. GN is increasingly becoming a place where serious discussion is not possible because threads are derailed by various means.

I remember the deleted post because I remember thinking it was odd and couldn't make much sense of it, but there wasn't anything in it which should have been deleted, as far as I could see.

I’m not convinced that the various mitigation that the Treasury has put in place can be classed as either right or left wing.

I think a form of Keynesian economics is being used to provide a platform from which the economy can be supported or grown.

This would be used by a politician of any colour.

It is what happens once this all calms down (if ever) that matters. That is whether austerity is reintroduced along with tax breaks etc. Then it becomes a political choice.

What Sunak is doing isn't really Keynesian economics. It's a kneejerk reaction to prevent the UK descending into chaos with millions of unemployed and homeless.

As an issuer of sovereign currency, the UK was lucky it could produce the money. It has shown up some of the fallacies of the "economy as a household budget" myth, although that still persists in some quarters and people are already going on about how we will pay the money back.

Keynesian economics is about a whole package of measures, including training and job creation, which are lacking from the government's planning. There was a coherent plan.

The next few weeks will be critical, as furlough schemes come to an end and evictions start. I fear that millions of people, who have never claimed any kind of state help before, are going to be affected.

More than ever, the country needs visible and coherent leadership. People need real hope, not the media spin and three word slogans they've been getting.
