    Had enough of this place, Compouter and his relentless drivel bores me to tears and your arrogance is appalling.

    ARF!
    No stamina, some of these kippers. Sad, isn't it?

    What do you make of the Hope not Hate leaflet being distributed by Labour calling UKIP racist? You were asked on Monday but didn't answer

    Fair game?
    Take that to mean he approves of the leaflet
    Or that he's gone to bed. Whichever.
    We are both wrong !!

    If it is about Diplomacy, it looks as if my account has been deleted from both games. It seems that I am accused of cheating.

    I have not cheated. I think that the problem is my son has registered an account in a different game, so we were both suspended.

    I do not know how to reverse it, I have written to the moderators.



    I am about. Whats up?

    Anyone seen @Foxinsox recently ?

    Sympathies! I think their moderation is automated. If it's any consolation, the unanimous view of the players is that it's nonsense.

    Night all.

    I have written to the mods. My son is registered as Sherlockjr, and not in either game so no cheating involved. I only saw the admin email after I could not access the games.

    I was rather enjoying it, hope that I have not spoiled it for the others.

    Hopefully you'll get back - I am enjoying our wars in the Med.

    Didn't see the query, sorry - I was having access difficulties over most of Friday-Monday.

    I've not seen the UKIP leaflets in the area so I can't comment on the campaign there to which the leaflet was presumably responding. However, it's not my experience of UKIP in Broxtowe or of most UKIP posters here - I'd be happy to meet Richard Tyndall or Sean Fear or you for a drink!

    Something to do with Ruth Smeeth I believe

    That's nice! Hopefully at the next DD do!

    @Barnes As seen daily on PB, the modern Tory Party values bankers, journalists, speculators.

    Where were you under 13 years of new labour ?

    Lab are the same but try to hide it. Tories don't bother to hide it.

    Discussion on the murder of Keith Blakelock on Newsnight

    When Stephen Lawrence was murdered, apparently within 48 hours dozens upon dozens of people had named the 5 people who were eventually tried.

    I've just heard that 30 people surrounded Blakelock while he was murdered, almost all from the estate I would have thought

    And NO ONE knows who they were or has been motivated to tell the police?

    Does anyone think the Police's racist malpractice in the case of Stephen Lawrence was motivated by the Blakelock murder?

    Am I stating the obvious?

    "the Police's racist malpractice"

    Given how rare it was for black teenagers to be stabbed to death by white gangs in London and given that one of the gang had a close association with a local adult gangster it strikes me that the most likely explanation was the police made a wrong assumption about the motive and went off in the wrong direction.

    Interesting that Fishermen have the most dangerous job, as epitomised by 'the Perfect Storm'

    Part of the explanation for that list is speed of response from emergency services: fishermen, loggers, ranchers etc

    http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2013/01/08/168897140/the-deadliest-jobs-in-america-in-one-graphic

    so being part of the emergency services counter balances the risk.

    Police officers are quite high on the list but i'd bet very few of those occurred at emergency call outs where there were other emergency services directly on hand.

    Having a paramedic standing right next to you is probably the best insurance against dying there is - even if you're doing a high risk job.
