Let us be clear. DS Politics is not left leaning, it is uber left leaning.

I've seen moderate lifelong Labour members labeled 'far right' by some of the numpties in the politics section, for not agreeing with the uber left mantra.

What I also laugh at is the numerous posts in the politics section about 'How can Labour win the 2024 election'.

Stop demonising those they don't agree with, would be a good starting point.

How on earth do they think the 'red wall' will be won back, when many of them are happy to continue throwing around the 'traitor', 'gammon', 'racist and 'bigoted' tag lines towards those very people.
They've been told by so many including diehard Labour voters but nope the answer is always to scream far right, Nazi etc. I stopped going in the Politics forum. I'm on the fence like most Brits. We're a tolerant society but who I vote for does not define me as a person. I never criticise anyone for their vote. We all get 1 vote to use how we want, that's an inviolate right in a democratic country.

james asked me last night on DS was this site the one that is openly hostile to DS members who join here
Truly everyone has been amazing since I joined, Never knew about this place until DS closed the Saggy arse thread
for those that don't know it was a long running thread about Philip schofield when he posted those naked pictures of himself
and it became the main thread for any stories on him.
This site is not openly hostile to DS members.

It is hostile to the a$$hole DS members, whom have 'gotten off' on making good and tolerant members time an absolute misery.

I can't say we ever had any nasty exchanges, so welcome!

DS will be a much better place with the toxic elements closed down.

There might be a return to something called 'discussion' once again. Where everyone is allowed a say and their opinions aren't shouted down.
As I posted on there recently, I think the problem with DS now is you’re not allowed to have a nuanced view on anything. You have to be either 100% for or against the topic under discussion. Try and post something in between and you get savaged by both sides which is just silly because very few issues are that clear cut that only a totally negative or positive response is suitable.

Not looking good for this thread, there's a few posts that don't fit the narrative.

Oh dear:


Exactly
I’m sick of the political correctness brigade
To me ALL lives matter
I don’t care if my friends are gay straight black white catholic Jewish Muslim in any combination
I love them for who they are not for what bed they get out of
This trying to categorise folk just antagonises them

You can't say that on DS that is a ban if ever there was one, only BLACK lives Matter.

Been nice chatting here with you all, hopefully see you around on some of the other threads.
Yes, it's time to go and see what's being discussed by people who've probably not even heard of DS. The opportunity to grind a few axes and vent some spleen on this thread has been most cathartic. ;)

I see James2001 is snivelling on there that his beloved DS Forum sub-sections had been pulled so fast…. I simply had to reply to him and tell him how it is as we’d locked horns in Politics before one of the woke brigade had me banned in 2018…

To be honest, I don’t care if I’m banned on TVF for saying it either as it’s closing next week anyway.
As I said in a previous post.

Those that were part of the problem, didn't see a problem.

James WAS part of the problem and is too wrapped up in his own opinions and beliefs to ever see, or admit this.

He can cry tears as much as he wants. No one really gives a stuff.

If he (and others like him) weren't such nasty vile shits on there, then the removed forums may have still been there now.

I'm pretty sure this thread is being watched by certain DS FMs, to monitor what is being posted about them.

All I can say to them is F.O!
Its' quite interesting to see the same names coming up time and again but of course that would be because we are all Racist Nazis that didn't like being held to account😜😂

I still can’t get over Jaycee Dove, a trans woman, being called transphobic because their posts didn’t fit with the DS chosen view.
I liked Jaycee Dove, her posts were very balanced and informative and she always looked at both sides of the debate.

Oh me too, hate hate hate it.
Most people who voted remain accepted with good faith that their desired outcome was not to be.

It is the likes of those minority on DS who would not accept the result and decided to act in a nasty manner.

DS forums is NOT representative of the whole UK. Just a blinkered, undemocratic section of society.

An undemocratic section whom will happily bash Trump for being undemocratic. Yet conveniently ignore they tried doing the exact same thing, by trying to overturn the Brexit result.

I call that hypocrisy.

I got a 7 day ban for saying I was sick of all the kneeling at football supporting BLM when there was a perfectly good Kick it Out campaign that had been going for ages.

Sorry about that - I have visions of steam shooting from his betroot ears now - I’m really quite enjoying this now. And as I say, I don’t care if I go out of TVF in a blaze of glory as it’s closing anyway and I’ve been wanting to tell that gold-plated window licker exactly what I think of him.
Mate that exchange with him about him not being on DS anymore where far left wokism was defended, and now he is on other forums that allow a right of reply is spot on, a lot of these problem wokes will start to learn how real life works , and just because someone disagrees with their warped view of the world it doesn't make them far right nutters , it just means we are sick to death of bullshit cancel culture that comes from idiot wokes so caught up in their self righteousness that they can't see their own racist , sexist views , which they think is acceptable if they are slagging off white men

I remember a few if them believing that white people have no rights to call racism , well that's bullshit what's good for the goose is good for the gander , and the white hate I have seen this year has been a disgrace, you can't fight racism while spilling the same garbage hatred filled racism you are fighting against
Time to realise that equality means everyone, I have respect for those that are good decent people, I dont give shit about skin colour, and it's the same with people who are vile , I dont have to respect a person if they aren't a decent person and I shouldn't have the fear of being called a racist because of that.

Thanks. Seems that way to me. There are some threads I started to engage in whereby if you don't fawn at the main protagonists you tend to get ignored when you comment OR if you challenge them/ say something slightly oppositional, you get rounded upon with the furies of hell unleashed (well, ok, exaggerating for effect, here). It's almost like 'We've decided which way this is going and who has the main say. Join us by all means but if you don't follow the line we will either pick on you for entertainment purposes or just dismiss your view.' Some people really do have too much time...
Totally agree with this. Having an in between view often gets you attacked by both sides. Happened to me on several threads. Most recently the Harry and Megan Oprah interview. I have worked in Corporate Communications/PR for years and therefore have frequently interacted with journalists and broadcasters. So, without being boastful, I do think I know a bit about how the media works. With that in mind I posted that I didn’t think H&M going to war with the media and giving interviews about family rifts was a good idea. Because the media never forgets anyone who has crossed them and they will wait in the long grass for every opportunity to hit back. And airing your family problems via the media just widens the familial rift and gives the media more ammunition. But I got told I was advising that they submitted to bullies and was saying they had no right to defend themselves. That was not what I was saying. I was saying you have to recognise how the media works and find better and more subtle ways of getting your story across. In other words you have to find a way of dealing with the world as it is not how you think it should be. But I gave up because everybody knew better than me.

I'm so glad DS is finally dying a death. Good riddance. Horrible cesspool. I notice alot of the General discussion crowd are now in AV forums, I think they will have a culture shock over there as it doesn't seem to be so strictly woke as DS.

It's clear that Hearst must have been threated with legal action over what was being posted in the Politics section.
It's all probably all done on a very simple calculation that the troublesome boards were costing more than they bought in. I wouldn't have thought it's a legal thing.

So many of the disgruntled politics posters seem to think they know better 🤣

The left and especially the far left, kill everything they touch.

Welcome to all the DS refugees.

It's heartening to know more people than I thought have had enough of DS in one way or another. It really is a hell hole representing the worst kind of toxic identity politics with nobody but the most absolute far left welcome, and the moderators fuel that with gusto. Will be interesting to see how the remaining parts of the board survive as I suspect they too won't be around much longer. The rot is too deep in DS to fix it as easily as closing a couple of parts down.

Although would Bangla get his knickers in a twist, if anyone dared mention chocolate, or banana flavoured milk?

Totally ignoring the context and misinterpreting things as usual.
I'm sure he wouldn't care what colour it was if someone threw it at Nigel Farage - his number 1 bogeyman.

I used to bring him up in threads on purpose, knowing that within a couple of posts he'd be there, beside himself with rage, spitting poison and calling him all the names under the sun.

Must be exhausting being so angry all the time.

They are probably wondering what to do now, stay or go elsewhere?
Ironic the lbc thread is now looking very empty, they've killed it.
A couple of loonies like i4U and deisegal with her "special words" may well keep on trolling Steve Allen 😁 They'll probably follow their leader though.
The thing is, DS is still very active, if your into sport, tv, radio, books etc
Bangla's little fiefdom will be quite happy staying put in the radio section talking gibberish and having an orgasm listening to Nick Ferrari every morning.
