Petitions about Trump's visit

[goldstone]

How come the "Prevent Donald Trump from making a state visit to the United Kingdom - petition" thread remains on the Big Board while the one about the petition for his invitation to be upheld gets relegated to the Other Stuff board. Appears to me to be left wing bias. Very typical of Brighton so I guess presumably reflects the left wing bias of the mods on here? Would be interested in the justification.

One way censorship

Fake news

So what? This isn't a news site. It's North Stand Chat.

Then why is the other one still on the Big Board? Get all that shit off the main board.

 

[sparkie]

Need to petition for a Petitions sub forum.

 

[BBassic]

I'd wager the justification is that the other topic could just as easily been a post in the already bloated existing topic.

I'd like a politics sub-forum to be honest.

Perhaps you should read the content of both, it may well be that statements and language on the support one warrants the moving.

And why do you immediately jump to a conclusion that those wanting to withdraw the state visit are left wing. Is this not just lazy stereotyping

It has happened before with farage threads.

It turned into the usual mud-flinging shitshow, and Bozza likes his adwords income, hence the move.

Those not happy and are looking for bigotry, just head to the likes of Sunderland, Millwall and others

Why? Sunderland and Millwall aren't protesting about the visit of a democratically elected president of one of this country's closest allies because they think all the people who voted for him are thick racists because they hold different views from them, are they?

Quite.

Unpleasant mud-slinging shifted off the main board. Covered no ground that wasn't already being discussed (about BOTH petitions) on the main petition thread.

Well hasn't the petition to thwart him done exactly the same ... double standards

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Bozza is a Tory.

Yes, it should be even-handed. Both petitions are potentially offensive to supporters of the other, and equally likely to provoke vitriolic posts.

If there are two similar threads put up, one is a bit left and one a bit right..... bet your bottom dollar on which one will be moved.

It's not particularly 'leftie' to express disagreement with Donald Trump!!!

I never mentioned Donald Trump.
