I haven't asked, I didn't think it was necessary. It said that the Members Lounge was the place to chat about anything.

I know that is within reason so no swearing or other such unsociable behaviour but I can't see how politics (and the other subjects that I want discussed in this thread) fall into that category.

I can't see how something so fundamental to our everyday lives can be such a taboo subject.

I did notice that my thread about climate change (now seen as the biggest threat to mankind the planet has ever seen) has died on it's a*se. I just don't want the same to happen to this thread if possible.

Thanks for your interest though.
