[Politics] The Tories hit new LOWS with the Windrush situation

[seagulls4ever]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-43835664

The decision to destroy the landing cards for Windrush migrants was taken under Labour, former home secretary Alan Johnson has said.

Asked if he knew about the 2009 decision, he told the BBC: "No, it was an administrative decision taken by the UK Border Agency."

The clue's in the quote - if Labour didn't know about the decision, how's it got anything to do with the previous Labour government?

It only became an issue after Theresa May changed the rules in 2014. Everyone who's followed the situation closely knows this. I'm sure you do to, but you can't put your pathetic party politics aside for one minute to admit it.

It isn't hard... just look at the posts before this one.

It isn't hard. Just unmerge the threads.

What made you think that a thread exposing (allegedly) a man prepared to lie about being a veteran of mt. Longdon seeking public office and a thread about the disgraceful treatment of West Indian migrants being the same topic.

Who, apart from someone motivated by politics, would want to blur those two? One is related to a small ward in Sussex, the other a national scandal.

What posts before that one? The one you're quoting is The OP who served in HM Forces from the thread you hurriedly merged with this one.

That doesn't exclude the possibility that people may have posted on this thread about it before you merged the threads though, does it?

Anyway, before that post it appears only two people made reference to it - ManOfSussex and ThunderBolt - not the seven that you stated.

Why did you and 7 others post about it on this thread then? before the new thead was started this morning.

More like YOU being a smug little cock yet again. No reason whatsoever to merge the threads FFS.

Spot on.

Unmerge the threads [MENTION=36]Titanic[/MENTION].

There is a reason mate. His politics.

I know. He's a shit mod, smugly "tidying" up threads he does't like just because they show up the Tory party. Fck off Titanic.

Walter Mitty. I wonder if he bought medals on EBay.

I’m betting yr right. They take ages to be shipped from China to.

 

[Ernest]

And don’t forget when he changed this thread title to try and make a joke about the Windrush situation. About time he either quit as a Mod or was removed

eh? You just made that up didn't you Ernest?

Still, don't let facts get in the way of your VITRIOL.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Titanic. You should go and moderate on the Burnley boards. They love defending the indefensible too.

This makes you look like a fool mate.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I’m betting yr right. They take ages to be shipped from China to.

Unfortunately, some of the families are selling genuine medals on Ebay as the veterans die off. The WW2 medals were so numerous, they didn't have names engraved on them.

It was worth a separate thread imo. The Conservative candidate is lying about serving in the Falklands, which is nothing to do with Windrush. The only reason it was mentioned on the Windrush thread is because it is in Hastings, and another Conservative caught out in lies.

Sorry [MENTION=36]Titanic[/MENTION], you are wrong on this issue. Pleas unmerge.

You’re wrong on that.

In addition [MENTION=36]Titanic[/MENTION] carries out his mod duties with impartiality IMO. He’s a proud card carrying Tory and doesn’t dent it. Whilst I don’t share his political views I do think he is an excellent mod and is entitled to post whatever he wants as are all members of NSC provided they are within the rules.

As for merging threads, seems a good idea to me. I’d be more than happy for there to be one overarching politics thread on NSC where people can play Punch and Judy to their heart’s content without cluttering up the board with name calling and petty point scoring.

Made up the fact that the thread title got changed? No he didn't. Read from post #514 onward.

Bollocks, it was a completely separate thread. Stop arselicking Titanic. He's a shit, smug mod and he's completely wrong here.

I think YOU are an excellent mod. I think Titanic is wrong but you do have to stick together I guess.

I can't think of another time recently where two totally unrelated threads, one about societal racism, the other about some local council candidate in Hastings pretending to be a soldier, for example would be merged.

We've got three threads about Booonley and Bong...merge them, three about Man Utd, merge them. They're at least about the same frigging thing. Do you see the error in your logic?

Apart from the merging of threads about two completely different topics which was a very obviously partisan decision.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

The only reason to merge these threads was the word "Tory"

Who did change the title then
