Seems that is sensible from the mods.
Just wondering if the same mods have considered my request from last night?

In fact I think it was a ridiculous move ( sorry Mike but it was)
I have never seen the point of the politics board anyway, some worthwhile posts don't get the full discussion they deserve because some people don't bother going there.
And at this time I believe political posts should have the widest circulation possible.
There have been some valid criticisms of Government policy and decisions on Covid19.
I don't agree with all of them (it may surprise some particularly Croesy Blue that I agree with some even(perhaps particularly as the buck stops with him) those about Boris) but they deserve the widest possible circulation
Mike how many complained about them being on here.
And can you take this as a formal request to move them back please
Threads involving current affairs like coronavirus, Cummings gate, lockdown et cetera can stay on the main board. The threads I moved seem to just be left v right bashing, and there is a politics forum for that
Good move imo, keeping the main interesting ones on here is a good idea. Especially when there isn't much football going on anyway.Quote:

Has the rise in political posts here been because of a lack of interest on the Politics thread?Quote:

I made it quite plain that I was quite aware of the politics forum but felt that it was exceptional (obviously!) at the moment.
Yeah with 2 metre social distancing it could be like the majority of hooligan confrontations in the 80s and 90s. Get about 100 plastic white chairs for each side throw them aimlessly about and bounce up and down. If youve got a beer in one hand to throw in the air all the better. Throw chair jump up and down arms out gesturing with beer in one hand go home say you done them and say despite everything youve got respect for them.Quote:

It is pretty easy to ignore politics threads.
And you can get useful contributions from people who wouldn't go near a politics forum.
