On the LON thread, the lefties were plaintively whining about people keeping the thread going and why not just ignore her. The same ilk are happily piling into this thread. For the record I think both are batshyt.

I mean if the hotel refused to have a traveller meeting it would be all over Joe Duffy, but because it is someone who is considered conservative it is fine. She is not right on everything but if she wants to hold a meeting then she should be allowed to do so. But unfortunately it seems that most of the people in Ireland are happy to get their news from Joe Duffy and Denis O'Brien instead of actually thinking for themselves, so good look to them.

However, if the OP started the thread, dumped a 1+ hour long political video, in a forum that is not for politics, without contributing any sort of discussion themselves, despite previously being told by mods not to, then yeah, the thread "might have been closed after 5 minutes and the OP banned".
