    - 'what-aboutery' (General Chat) - Captain Bligh, Oct 29, 09:23:59

        A lot of these people have been poisoned by the Brexit discourse (General Chat) - jamesward, Oct 29, 10:24:21

        Why is up to me to provide an excuse for other people's behaviour (General Chat) - KetteringRyu, Oct 29, 15:19:04
