LOL. Still unable to discuss anything on the discussion thread then.

Please post on topic otherwise the mods will have to delete more of your posts.

Ok. Having had a number of posts deleted (presumably as a result of being reported by someone who thinks they are the guardian of this forum and that only their views count), I'm out of here.

Best of luck everyone.

I haven't reported your posts from earlier, maybe just maybe the mods decided they were unnecessary and off-topic like I said they were. Take care (I guarantee you'll be back though this is an attention seeking "I'm out" post after all).

You are authorised to use much stronger language in this situation in our unwritten constitution.  Although it's clearly a very fluid situation.

Yeah it does seem to have been deemed acceptable to be abusive in response to posts like these, but I'd rather Ozanne just try not to gatekeep the thread whilst simultaneously trying to provoke reactions out of people.

Literally 8 hours ago. Gatekeeping is allowed in some cases it seems.

Calling out someone for using foul language isn't the same as gatekeeping. You meanwhile have to call put crazyfool for daring to come back and post on this thread, because you have some weird vendetta against him. And then say that someone is attention seeking when they say they're out of this thread, in case they do decide to then come back and post, and you'll be able to throw it right back in their face. Classy.

But anyway, if you can just try to behave decently we can move along and continue with the thread.

Can we move on now please … I’m sure some might not agree with how we moderate and my shoulders are broad enough to accept that will always be the case . We are however attempting to make this thread as pleasant as we can given the sometimes challenging subject matter . Having 2 of us moderate means we discuss all reports and will work together to try and achieve the best result for this thread and posters and Efests in a purely voluntary role . Anyway I’m just awaiting being added to the govt list along with the leftie lawyers … those damn leftie moderators on efests

Oh dear, I've pointed out your hypocrisy for gatekeeping earlier on and this is what happens. It's not a great look.

Yes of course. Considering the uproar it's caused, could you explain the case of the deleted posts from earlier please?

I’ve dmd ommadawn as that’s fair when we remove posts and I think we missed it on this occasion that the posts didn’t relate to subject matter and related to inviduals

    • It does feel like there's a push back against net zero from both left and right, but especially the right. Probably since Trump I guess, but even before Trump you had the tea party and Sarah Palin thing, but over here the right were on board with the issue of climate change and the need to address it, from Thatcher through to Johnson. That has now changed, first it was the populist right, not it is mainstream, with Badenoch making the two prerequisites for standing for the Tories being against net zero, and for leaving the ECHR. You can be an ex neo-nazi as long as you are against net zero. At least many now seem to accept the climate change is happening and it is caused by us, but they now say well it will be a nice mediterranean climate so lets bin net zero anyway and just have fun f**k all that woke green sh*t. But also the left, with various trade union leaders and blue labour types going on about net zero being bad for the economy and the need for reindustrialisation as we head back to the glory days of the 50s when we all worked down pit or something, ignoring the amount of industries and jobs created by net zero. The greens obviously are still firmly behind the net zero thing, but the party is also full of nimbys who are worried about hedgerows and hedgehogs and votes, and even the leadership have realised that there isn't votes in climate doomerism but there definitely is in bashing billionaires and Israel. I guess the main driver of net zero policies in the country is still Miliband which is probably why everyone seems to be f**king terrified of him, the mad freak and his renewables. He is out of the energy department, but his replacement is hardly a petrolhead, and he isn't in the treasury doing terrifying things like spending money, but he is in the foreign office which is maybe a good place for him because climate change is a global issue and its going to take a global effort.
