Posts On Ab

[Hymie]

During the last 14 years of Tory corruption, I would occasionally post details of that corruption on AB – often involving the misappropriation of millions if not billions of pounds of public money.

 

Many of those posts were deleted from AB for no reason other than that they were attacking the Tories.

 

I recently posted a thread critical of Nigel Farage, linking a youtube video – this was removed from AB on the pretext that it had defamatory content (according to an AB moderator).

 

The video is still available to view on youtube, having been viewed over 15,000 times within the last 24 hours, with over 1,500 likes.  Having viewed the video again, there is some comparison between Farage and a donkey braying on Frinton-on-Sea sands; but I doubt any donkey will be suing AB or youtube.

 

Should this Labour government engage in anything approaching the corruption/incompetence/dishonesty of the Tories, you can bet I will be posting it on here (not nonsense, such as someone accepting designer spectacles) – I wonder if those posts will be deleted too.

it's a no account internet forum - get over yourself

"dishonesty"?  The Labour Government has it in spades - witness the Budget compared to their manifesto.

He thinks a lot of himself doesn't he. Something disturbingly "european" about him methinks.

Perhaps your propaganda would be better suited to a far-left echo chamber rather than a question and answer site.

AB is not a private members club and the Editorial Team have a responsibility to make sure that the things which are published here (for which it bears final responsibility) are in no way defamatory or could leave it open to censure or legal suits.

Remember that it is not always exactly what is being said, but the manner in which it is expressed that can see threads removed.

You seem to regularly choose to post videos from sources who are less diligent in tempering their language.

Sinead, I might agree with you if I truly thought this was a question and answer site. Name calling, mud slinging, apparently personal vendettas - all far from the question and answer site you seem to think this is.

Oh, they surpassed that in very short order, less than one month.

Hymie, posts aren't removed simply for attacking any political party.  The method of attack is the key.  If you post something that is defamatory you shouldn't be surprised if your efforts  disappear.  Read JacktheHat's post.

"...not nonsense, such as someone accepting designer spectacles"

Why is that considered nonsense? I agree it is not in the same order of magnitude of some other seemingly odd gifts accepted by politicians. but the principle is still the same.

A number of senior Labour politicians have agreed they accepted gifts of payment for clothing and spectacles from a very wealthy donor. Why would they do this? They are all on decent salaries, expenses and additional income and can well afford to buy those things for themselves (as everybody else - many with nothing like their income - has to).

Have you also not asked yourself why these donors would do this? Why would Lord Ali shell out to clothe the Prime Minister?

It's only nonsense because it suits you to say it is.

They would say that, wouldn't they.

Rather than this far-right echo-chamber 😁

NJ – My employer allows me to accept gifts (under specified conditions) to the value of circa £25 (not that I have received any).

 

If Private Eye listed all the gifts/bribes accepted by MPs, each issue would be as thick as a telephone directory.

11.19. Its called perks of the job, it happens in all walks of life. Personally I have no problem with it ( small gifts) should it esculate above a small gift then that can become worry, I'd much prefer the exchange of smaller gifts than a PM deciding that he needs a 40 million yearly helicoptor contract for his own personal use at the tax payers expense.

'Angela Rayner is billing the taxpayer thousands of pounds for a 'vanity photographer' to boost her image.

The Mail can reveal the Deputy Prime Minister, who has been mired in controversy over freebies from Labour donors and could face a sleaze inquiry, has risked a fresh storm by appointing the personal photographer on a salary of £68,000.'

What more can be said?

[gulliver1]

Surly you have realised this is a 97% Tory supporters site when you see all the insults and abuse that appears every time I post on here . lol🤣

[DTCwordfan]

talk about the pot calling itself a kettle.....^

[vulcan42]

If you are being insulted and abused gulliver, it's nothing to do with supporting any political party. It's in response to the rubbish you offer up as facts.

[DTCwordfan]

totally agreed ^ I've never so much garbage that you spew, even in my rubbish bin. And rarely do you post your evidence.

[nicebloke1]

The truth hurts gully, it apears it still hurts, NJ... When does a gift become a request? I would say when Lord Bamford coughs up 30k for Boris's wedding, thats only what we found out about. Now that is a hell of a gift, I would call it somthing else, but i may end up in front of the judge.:0)))

//// 97% Tory supporters site ////

Last time there was a poll it did indeed reflect a Tory majority amongst Abers, but the total was nowhere near 97% (not even half that IIRC).  That figure appears to be a figment of your overactive imagination. You do as much damage to the Labour cause here as Keir does in Westminster.
