The Hol is definitely a better bunch than on the BBS but the BBS is far more active for Palace related stuff. But I still use the HOL, especially for tickets as I don’t have a season ticket this year! I'd of thought this year, following the previous, would be the one anybody would definitely want it for. Seems prophetic now however. Apologies all, get back to the BBC, booo!, or wooo!, depending on your slant.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

How can you separate the Guardian, Observer, Mirror & Sunday Mirror as separate entities just to make your first paragraph bigger, but then not list the Sunday Times, Mail on Sunday & Sunday Express in the second? Disingenuous beyond belief. And to suggest the Times isn’t on the right and insinuate the Sun is left wing is absolutely ridiculous. The Metro is also owned by the Daily Mail. Honestly absurd. Edited by Mstrobez (15 Mar 2023 1.41pm) Of course. I should have just called them all one newspaper, just so you could pretend that there are more right wing newspapers. Silly me.

If that's your stance, you are even more irresponsible and dangerous than I thought. Should the HOL admins be obliged to allow the posting of any message on here as long as it is within the law? I only answered that way in the hope you would disappear. So as you haven't let me explain. Firstly your analogy is ridiculous. Gary Glitter is back in prison after being recalled for breaking the conditions of his release. He would have been under close supervision, and probably wearing a tag and would be should he ever succeed in getting parole again. Sex offenders are held securely but if one ever did escape you can be sure a manhunt would follow. He wouldn't go unoticed. Secondly, any library, or other place offering advice to children would need to have who-ever was involved undergo a CRB check. But even if he managed to climb over those mile high hurdles, which is about as likely as it being a Martian doing it, what I didn't say is what else a baker should do. They should accept the commision, get his details and let him go. Being responsible, law abiding citizens they should also alert the authorities with a view to the police being on site when he called to collect. They then take over. It's not their job to enforce the law, or have a view about their customers requests. It is all our job to report suspicious behaviour. If the police consider the message to be unlawful in any way then they will deal with it. Not the bakers. The last paragraph applies to who-ever placed the order.

Arrest people for standing silently in public streets. Arrest people for the suspected content of their silent prayers. Arrest people who have had previous contact with the police if they are perceived as acting wrongly. Prosecute businesses for refusing commissions. Persecute people for refusing vaccinations. Allow people to break their contracts of employment for (approved) political reasons. Continue to tax people to fund (approved) political propaganda. Bring in proportional representation to allow more ‘progressive’ parties power. Have MPs voting in secret, as it is no business of the public as to how they vote. Re-join the EU, of course, and offer to double our contribution as a gesture of good will and contrition. Have completely open borders in order to stop boat people – they can just pop on a ferry. Make John Bercow the Speaker for life. Edited by georgenorman (15 Mar 2023 11.01am) You remind me of another poster here in your capacity to distort and misrepresent. I won't dignify the above by correcting it. It speaks for itself and those who know it's nonsense already know, and those who don't never will.

You should’ve either condensed the Sunday papers down into their original paper or expanded the second list to include the Sunday papers. That’s pre school level objectivity. Newspapers such as the Sun & Metro also don’t magically become left wing because you say they are. Seriously, are you this disingenuous or just stupid? Edited by Mstrobez (15 Mar 2023 4.38pm)

The Guardian. Left wing
The Times, neutral. Yes. Predominantly leftist. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (15 Mar 2023 11.15am) Have you not heard the phrase Tory Press Barons. They still wield considerable influence. Thus, you are wrong in terms of sales. Tory far outsell the disparate lefty rags, most of which have modest or simply small readership. I am sure I can find a reactionary right wing rag somewhere that I can chuck into the mix to "oppose" the Morning Star. And you have conveniently included the Sunday sister papers for the "left", but not the right, presumably in order to prove imbalance. The Independent is what is says it is [even though it does not say what you like]. Metro??? Wrongly filed Hrolf. The Sun? Even if correct, they have jumped ship before and jumped straight back to their natural home of populist right. Finally, "left"? 3 of them are left/center and not always supportive of Labour.

My response was to the suggestion that there were more right wing papers, which is clearly crap by any reasonable measure.

I didn't think even the most committed hard right enthusiast actually thought that. You learn something every day. Some are even more deluded that the rest.

Who cares, the number of people reading newspapers is declining at an ever accelerating rate. Buying paper, yes. Online, not so sure.
