The UNSC resolution on Syria is hugely welcome. If it holds, we must use the next month not just to stop the bombing and provide humanitarian aid, but to start genuine talks with all parties on a political solution and a lasting peace.

Quite agree.Austerity is “crushing the weak” and Brexit has divided the country, the archbishop of Canterbury has warned. In a dramatic assessment of the state of the country, Justin Welby said there is a danger of a “schism” in society that the most vulnerable are falling into.
The Anglican leader issued a plea for Britons to be “generous” in adapting to newcomers to the country and called for people to show “care for each other”.

Without doubt purposeful changes on the pretence of fairness to those in totally different situations/circumstances (and of course always potential)with more to come and mooted, has created needless vulnerabilty to those in the same boat as we were.The salient feature being epic false economy before you get to the misrepresentation in bilious tones and human cost.

I will say it again:
if he is just hear to disrupt and troll he should be banned (like rusty etc)
If he is considered to be a member of the board then I will respond and challenge him
What is wrong with that? If he posts the same nonsense each day then I will challenge him on it each day. It is not my problem if he refuses to have a proper discussion

I think a more accurate summary of the view is that it's hard to definitively and collectively draw a line on who is and who isn't a troll. But you can personally decide someone is a troll and then ignore them.
