Baldric just posted a reply. Don't know about other people on here, I can't see it.

Anotheroldgit,it seems to me and I may be wrong,
Are you trying to provoke mr Hughes into calling you a racist?this dear sir is not worthy of a man of your calibre,
I have in the past admired you for the stance you take,and you have the courage of your convictions,
Surely you are not stooping to a level trying to provoke MR Hughes into calling you a racist?

[Spicerack]

See it now. Sites going haywire.

From the link:-
//There will be no Section 60 Order in place, which would give officers the power to stop and search attendees.//

Discrepancies with posts not showing and Lp slow have been known to the Editorial Team for a week, hopefully soon resolved.

I was replying to his hypocrite stance that I was shy at calling them black, while at the same time and on each and every opportunity falling shy at calling me a racist himself.

DOH, from that link:-
//Police Granted Section 60 As Almost 100 Arrests Made On First Day Of Notting Hill Carnival//

Good link Baldric, shows the Police have joined in virtually from Carnival's beginning.

You're welcome

Can't really see the point of Baldric's post, it differs very little from the link that I provided.

AOG - // Just to use your words " I just wonder if you have the courage of your convicitons to say" that I am a racist? //

Referring to someone as a racist is far more within your remit than mine, so it doesn't take any courage whatsoever not to break Site Rules - you were just lucky enough to get away with it.

[Baldric]

AOG, just ignore it then!

I can't remember me calling anyone racist, unless you are referring to my recent humorous quip, " How very racist of them".

But since you have quoted Site Rules and your wonderment at me getting away with it, perhaps now in your role as a Moderator, perhaps you will now remove Rockrose's post: "Hey I’m not shy in my opinion you are racist AOG"

Blatant disregard of Site Rules, it should never be allowed, what say you?

I await your reply, should prove to be interesting.

What a surprise. The thread turned into a slanging match. SMH

AOG - // I can't remember me calling anyone racist, unless you are referring to my recent humorous quip, " How very racist of them". //

Then let me refresh your memory a second time AOG - since you denied it then, as you do now -

AOG - // andy-hughes
/// There is no 'perhaps ' about it, I have never used the term 'racist' towards you, unfortunately, you are not able to say the same. ///

When have I ever called you a racist? //

As usual AOG, your memory is as short as your temper - I refer you this exchange - which you will see, took place only nine days ago -

AOG - // Well there you have it, they are clearly uncivilised, then being civilised as we are, that makes us better or indeed superior to them, which in turn by the definition of racism, that also makes you a racist Andy. //

I hope that refreshes your memory?
