Think your abit confused. I said that PM questions was irrelevant to the wider public. To the FMTTM "clique" it isn't and someone would be along to say how great Starmer was (whether he was or not). I cited the TV debates as an example when this board was a wash with how excellent Corbyn was/and how poor Johnson was and how out of sync it was with the wider public perception
I am more than welcome to post anything I want. You do not have to open it or reply as people are constantly told by others who think they rule this board. So thank you for your input no I won't and I will post whatever I like within the rules of the board.
I mention trolling yes as 1 member as stated is constantly bringing my name into threads that I have not even contributed to. When asked he stated he does it for enjoyment and will continue to do so. As a more mild mannered member of the board and someone who calls it out I would expect a more reasoned response. I note your tone has increased though lately which such comments as "tory sympathisers" so maybe you feel that is fair game now

200,000 testing target based on lab capacity
BBC health correspondent Hugh Pym has clarified that the prime minister's ambition of 200,000 daily tests by the end of May referred to lab capacity rather than individual tests.

Keelo please note the rules of the board. Just because you consider yourself part of “the clique” and rule the board it applies to you
6. Try to treat other users with respect. Refrain from posts that MAY BE INTERPRETED as hateful/racist/offensive etc.
as you were (enraged)

I don't understand Cooper's idea that if the wider public think a certain way then they must be right? Bizarre. If the wider public think that Boris has done well during this pandemic, does that mean that he has? I couldn't give a **** what the wider public think, he's ballsed it up spectacularly.

Starmer was good today. Crisp and direct questions. Boris looked flustered without his backbenchers egging him on

Find a post where I’ve called anyone a ‘tory sympathiser’. I have said people with Conservative sympathies or belief in Conservative policies will offer a different opinion or see things in a different way, so don’t try and add a hostile connotation to what I write.
I think my response is reasoned, I think you’re trolling and called you out on it, as you recognise I’ve called out others before, if you don’t like that then that’s your prerogative.
Also there is no ‘clique’ just some people have similar views to others on some subjects and different to others on others, it is how message boards work.

Cooper likes to use the word ‘clique’ a lot.
The definition of clique usually revolves around people who won’t allow others to join them.
Doesn’t seem appropriate but, hey ho....
On the PMQs topic.
Prior to Covid I was a big fan of abolishing it for all sorts of reasons. The example it sets it others, for one.
One of the beauties of PMQ today is that it is possible to have a really good question and answer session.
It’s the same with Question Time - much better without the audience.

Fair enough I have checked the post and I was wrong - I was surprised to see you write what I thought I had so I have no issue apologising for an incorrect observation.
Re Keelo - I wouldn't respect anyone who feels they can be abusive to someone they don't know. The rules don't state I need your respect it says to be not be offensive which you clearly are.
Re - "The Clique" - Maybe gang would have been better wording. A group of people who all round in one on someone who maybe different or have a different view to them. If you feel it doesn't exist then why have I had people message me privately stating they no longer post on the board because of this group of posters. Heres an extract - most removed as would have identified the poster (long term one)
"Hi fella,
Trust you're ok
I've stopped posting mainly because of something you brought up a little while back. The Clique"
Keelo again as an example thinks its perfectly ok for him to flout the rules and abuse people. You have farting calling anyone a troll who dares to have a different opinion (I would consider anyone with a different opinion to me a troll in that case) You have Boro Fur stating he comes on here and mentions my name in various threads as that is his form of entertainment (very strange but if it floats your boat)
AM & Zoophonic in fairness have called people out for it but others feel its fair game. These posters are stopping other posters from having their opinion and stopping from posting altogether. It is not your message board and people can post whatever they want with in the rules and should be able too without "The Gang" rounding up.
