There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

OK, Mark; close my account. I can't tolerate these restrictions.
Admin Note : Chris while posting those on your ignore list you are "Trolling" your posting for a reaction. While those on your ignore have been very tolerant towards your comments, you are in breach of our rules. These rules have always been in place forever and you have used the same rules im implementating back at you. Its not in the wiki spirit. Its also a huge waste of my time, cleaning up after such posts. And opening and closing your account at will, it all takes time. Come on Chris you do have alot of respect from so many members. If you want your account closed drop me a pm.
Sorry to see you go Chris, have I missed something or was your post deleted because you merely said you didn't care what other people thought?
I think it was because Chris didn't agree with the views of some wiki members and twice named those people he was going to put them on his ignore list instead of just pressing the ignore button without posting names. Also said if his post was deleted he'd leave - which he's done. I'll certainly miss him and his contributions he's made and could have made to the history section.
Discussions on politics and religion are often contentious
I think he takes things to seriously, its only a debate they cause differences of opinion without which life would be dull, I hope I have done nothing to offend him other than to be a member of the Labour party, I wish him the best.
Thanks for your good wishes, casper. The future of the country needs to be taken seriously. I've nothing against the Labour party, at least before Blair got at it: what I object to is ANY party being led by a buffoon, which Corbyn clearly is, although I daresay he's a perfectly genuine guy, just not a leader.
