Political comments regarding Brexit, Covid etc. - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Paul Stenning · 7th Jan 2021, 11:30 am

We would like to remind everyone that these forums are a POLITICS FREE ZONE.

Therefore members are not permitted to post any political comments or opinions on such subjects as Brexit.

This also applies to the government's response to the Covid 19 (Coronavirus) pandemic.

Please restrict any posts regarding Covid 19 to affected events and any other factors that directly affect our interests. We all see and hear more than enough about it everywhere else, let's try to avoid it here as much as possible.

This is not just in posts but everywhere on the website including signatures, avatars and profiles etc.

The mod team will be keeping a look out for anything that violates this, and as always we are grateful to members who report anything untoward they may see.

Hopefully we can all enjoy the lack of politics here and regard it as an escape to talk about vintage technology - which is probably more interesting and enjoyable!

Thank you,
Paul and the mod team

Bumping yet again.

Serial offenders can expect to be banned from the forums.

Although nobody has posted anything yet, I should point out that the current situation with Russia and Ukraine would be regarded as political, so is not a topic for discussion or comment here.

We will all be seeing and hearing plenty on the news and social media, let's keep this forum as our escape from that.

Let's have no criticism of government policies here please. There are plenty of other forums where you can express your views.
