Looks like N Ireland going to get its devolved government back, some deal done with DUP. Sunak has had some successes in N Ireland, shame none of them vote Tory.

I'm glad Tories are feeling the pinch a bit too but he should be able to make ends meet with annual mortgage repayment of £24K from a £118K salary.   That's not quite at the level of needing a food bank.

What's happened to Mr Fish?

He'd normally be all over my recent posts

Barry has broken the forum rules on multiple occasions and the moderation team has decided that a permanent ban was needed on this occasion

Permanent seems harsh but I didn't see the offending posts.  Your gaff your rules.

If you really believe this then its a stupid move to give Isreal an excuse to do it. Some parts of the coalition want to settle Gaza but others don't. Netanyahu opposed the previous peace plan but he won't be around for ever.

The thread has been much better since he’s been gone and to be fair he has broken numerous rules over and over so I feel the mods had no other choice.

To be fair that was 20 years ago and I'd have thought they would have been changed since then 🤣

Permanent as in never-allowed-to-darken-our-doors-ever-again-permanent? Or sit on the naughty corner for a bit type permanent?

Harsh if the former. I joined efests over 15 years ago, I don't remember the 'terms' and I'm pretty sure there wasn't a 'gold member' option back then so it must have been updated since I joined. Was Baz given the chance to revisit the 'terms' and apologise before being kicked off site?

Baz is an irritant but I've found him a useful irritant which has led to me challenging my thinking on some subjects. Don't tend to agree with a lot of his world view, but I don't think he's a deliberate troll. He can be a f**king wind-up at times but I've also been on the thread long enough to see him change his own mind and apologise when challenged. A pity to see him booted.

We had good reason . Pretty much all I’m adding not going into specifics .
