Spare us a phoney row about racism, we’ve got enough on
A silly media row about racism just had to figure in the riots’ post mortem. Was the Tudor history expert David Starkey racist on Newsnight when he said: The whites have become black. A particular sort of violent, destructive, nihilistic, gangster culture has become the fashion. And black and white, boy and girl, operate in [...] read our review »

Mark you really are a nuisance. Do try and keep my name OUT of your posts when posting. What in God’s name am I doing in your head at after eleven at night?
Mick tells me you are wrong to be speculating about who is who anyway.
Let me put it straight for you. Next time I’m going to the cops – end off. I’ve been in touch with them already. Keep my name OUT of your posting and keep me out of your head. Get some therapy it may help.

Garibaldy we can’t ask people to come for interviews and have them abused by faceless people. If everybody stuck to the ball and stopped playing the man there’d be no need for any moderation….

?? and Cahal. Slugger would like to begin conversations with all sides no matter who they are. Our political institutions are full of people who have done time for one reason or another. Now there has been 3 way discussion about this and other threads. Everybody is to be afforded the commenting policy as is site rules. This is what mick wants, and its his site.
If you have a desire to ask anything outside of the remit, please feel free to go about it yourself. Meanwhile the remit stands. We hope to go further with these discussions, engaging people on line on various issues, we can’t ask them to come on here and be mauled by faceless people with names like ??
