Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Strange on TMW, his last posting on this thread was eminently sensible - and didn't seem to draw any backlash. Wonder if there was any f-mailing behind the scenes on his flags post, but even that didn't attract too much ire.

What other threads did he like to post on?

Did TMW say when/why he was going? His last post in this thread was a criticism (or question at least of priorities) of over zealous policing of demonstrators at Sarah Everard protest vs. under zealous (that's not a word is it?!) policing of racist football hooligans. A very thoughtful and socially conscientious post... :-(

Maybe he was embarrassed at having posted something reasonable here by mistake?

TMW posted helpfully on the retirement thread where is employment background was useful.

Going back to JRs point on David Davis and the SNP Whatsapp messages, there was a lot of fuss in Scotland when Davis did that and IIRC there was some kind of prevention of publishing details in place. May not have been a court order but advice from the Lord Advocate/CPS

The shipping aspect of the EU plan is already being slated for locking in fossil fuels.
