2. Objections from the likes of mac, MA, Stenson, Swale and myself does not constitute ‘mob rule’. We have been the bedrock of this forum for a while and were right to object.

3. Very pleased you’ve done something at last. Not before time and a pity you didn’t explain your actions more quickly which would have helped enormously in the circumstances.

4. Please stop your patronising ‘I have a life’ comment as if the rest of us don’t. Mine may be temporarily on ‘Covid hold’ at the moment but you’re the one who wanted to be moderator and you’re the one who repeatedly tells everyone how experienced you are at such matters. Personally I’ve not had a problem with your moderating style until recently but MA is offering to help and clearly your new found ‘life’ has left you needing support.

5. ‘No one has left the forum’. Really? So regular poster GP not posting since last Friday, having said he would not return until DCFCA had been removed, is just my imagination is it?
You may be of the opinion that he overreacted and could use the ‘ignore’ facility. I might even agree, but for the last five days, at a time when his professional insight would have been very valuable over matters such as the takeover and Buchanan’s contract he has not been seen.
Hopefully, following your appropriate if belated action, he may now return.

No idea what that means but if it was you who Swale told to go forth and multiply I’m increasingly unsurprised given your obtuse arrogance.

First you ‘attack’ my thread...next you, quite wrongly, accuse me of ‘doublespeak’...and then you appear surprised at a reaction/clarification.

Maybe, just maybe, you might stick to the thread on a day when already there have been another three resignations...and the future of the Government/PM/country is under question...or maybe it doesn’t suit your agenda.

Calm down, Calm down.....isn't this just what you've been waiting for for months, if not years? The wolves turning on the wounded leader....

Welcome back GP, and thanks for the scouser impression and putting us back on topic.

Can’t say I’m remotely disappointed...there was always going to be one bridge (of lies) too far.

The point of the thread though was to honestly ask for opinion regarding...

Have we now reached a genuine tipping point?
Will he be replaced from within and if so...by who?
Or...will he, in a desperate attempt to cling on to power, call a General Election.

I'd say zero chance of a general election... That's not a decision that a PM alone can determine is it? And the party wouldn't want one now before it can try to heal some of BJ self inflicted wounds.

Curious that the most trivial of errors in handling facts can be the straw that breaks the camel's back, after all the other weights it's had to bear.

I'll give it to the end of the week for a forced falling on sword

Not sure that the ‘mistakes’ made in relation to the apparently aptly named Pincher can be described as ‘trivial’.

Aside from that I share your view but have no idea who ‘steps up’. I mean...last night Penny Mordaunt was amongst the favourites. :O

Edit: Sorry 37%

But as with a lot of your posts, your explanation doesn't stack up. You could have banned me, though lets be clear I didn't bypass the swear filter, which DCFCA has done, nor have I posted libellous comments, threats and general garbage on here.

So what your saying is your failure to Mod the Forum properly by not banning me is the reason you have demonstrated such poor judgement and allowed DCFCA to continue?

Or that you so incapable of exercising judgement, because lets face it this is about the only Forum DCFCA isn't banned from, that when there is a groundswell of opinion you show how immoveable you are and ignore it?

There is in fact no problem other than the one inside your head! I note you have supposedly yellow carded DCFCA, about time you actually did something!

I think your ‘end of the week’ might be an underestimate, GP. Dead man walking...the ‘game is up’ so...who’s next?

Nah Johnson will cling on by his finger nails, he might have gone if more of the cabinet had walked, but it seems the incompetents are clinging to him knowing full well they would struggle to get a job at McDonald's!!

My judgement is that we have a few more weeks yet, maybe even a month or two. He will go thats certain, but not necessarily soon.

Just three things in response and then I’ll withdraw for the sake of the thread. You DO post general garbage but that’s not a sanctionable offence. I’ve had more requests to sanction you than I have DCFCA. And he hasn’t been yellow carded he’s been banned
