As you know Lord B, certain comments which from time to time appear on this forum encourage the sort of bigoted free for all that used to happen fairly regularly in the bad old days before this forum was upgraded.
While you are perfectly entitled to your opinion I have to consider the effect that contentious issues may have on the forum as a whole and experience has taught me that there are some opinions best expressed elsewhere because of the sharp polarization of views which often leads to anger, complaints, people leaving the forum etc.
I don't want to have to start removing or editing posts or comments. This topic has been allowed to appear on the forum so that members can discuss recent events but this freedom of discussion has to be balanced against the overall impression created for the casual browser as well as the regular members and the overall reputation of the Practical Caravan brand.
There's no problem with discussing human rights Lord B, and although I'm sure that your views are genuinely held please don't focus on 'foreign criminals' or 'immigration', to cite 'immigration' and the seeming inability to deport 'foreign criminals' as a cause of lawlessness here in the UK is a step too far for this forum and could lead to me having to stop the topic if arguments got out of hand.
