Locked Threads
Hi Tony, I have to say that I am very disappointed that you have caved into pressure and shut down a couple of threads on this board. Yes, the debate was spirited and some posters went a bit over the top but it was no worse than the Brexit threads which were allowed to continue. I know that here are...
