Because to many many people black lives do NOT matter. Rich white kid shot by police and its news , poor black kid and nobody cares. little white girl dies it can make huge headlines , little black girl dies and nobody cares. In truth this as much about poverty as it is about race but if you...

That the people displaying the banner are deeply unpleasant individuals ?

The thing is the major players already know who you are. the likes of facebook and twitter could fairly easily lock down platforms to one person one account and in all honesty that is the way things are going regardless if we want it or not. Everything you say and do online will follow you...

Even as a cross section of society the forum has so few "lefties" as to be almost non existent. This forum is very right leaning and yes it has a small number of very vocal members who are slightly to the right of Mussolini and are triggered by the slightest of comments.

Surely it depends on the statue and its location ? A Hitler statue next to a Synagogue might be deemed inappropriate. How about Margaret Thatcher statues outside every Coal mine , Jimmy Saville statues at hospitals and primary schools ? How many of you upset about this cared when they pulled...

This is actually the biggest issue with social media. Everything you put on social media could be there forever. Get drunk and say something stupid or post the wrong pic and that might haunt you for the rest of your life. From what you do post assumptions are made about you that again might...

Congratulations not only did you get a 24 hour ban. Facebook now has you down as a hate speech poster. Forever. They also might sell that piece of data to 3rd parties like government agencies at any point in the future. Think about what you post online.

There are things you can do that will make a big difference. Small things make a difference if you do a lot of them and the more people that do any of this the better. I chose one of the bigger ones. I do not have children and I would encourage those who do not want children to not have or...

literally the post above.

Why do you assume a double standard? This is the absolute issue with the whatabout ism that people keep throwing about. You are making the weird assumption that Obama supporters would think his administration should not be fined for breaking the rules or calling him corrupt if he acted as...

it is arguably much better looking and has the right badge and for most of the people who will buy it that is enough. I think we forget just how much cars are a fashion and status statement over and above real considerations like range and performance.

You don't actually think that can work with the likes of twitter do you ? From an IT point of view it is incredibly easy to stop if they choose to do so but why bother if you simply ban anybody that says or does anything on an "offensive" list you achieve the same goal. Twitter does not need...

I do not actually agree with banning people for there views and I do believe in freedom of speech but by the same token why should a business be forced to have hate speech associated with its name. And your basic point that banning people cannot silence them is quite clearly false.

Woah you have absolutely no way of knowing just how strict Gordon Ramseys restaurants are on the T&Cs they state.

it is also notable that it is 48 hours for some of the restaurants for others it is a full 7 days and you cannot even change table sizes with 72 hours.

k it seems I am blind :)

the article does not actually state when the restaurant was informed.

£150 a head is not lower.

https://www.gordonramsayrestaurants.com/terms-and-conditions/ Note those are his standard conditions NOT a one off New years eve event with a clearly stated non refundable ticket. And if everybody who ever cancels simply says we had a death in the family. For me this is just one step away...

I called who reported it to the press scum as it clearly was not the restaurant and I believe the reason it was done was to essentially blackmail the restaurant in to paying up. A very cheap trick indeed.
