Should The Oatcake separate politics from Everything Else? OK. Usually her for comic (hem) effect but this is my view. As I’ve said, never lucky enough to have lived in Stoke but have had an aspect, knowledge of, respect for, for most of my life. As an ex-pat I live my life on the net. News channels, sport, politics. Just the day to day minutiae. I travel all my life. Even home was never really home. I love the ability to come on here (as I type this sounds so trite) and have the dichotomy. Some filters, I understand that, but….welll..you will get both sides. As a coda. I had lurked for a while before jumping in and I came at, shall we say, a difficult time for some. In an ideal world, purient interest would have no place. Of course. We know very differently.

Never prescribe or censor what people can talk about and where. It's like the prostate cancer testing thread on the football board. It's not on topic but maybe a person it is beneficial to would not read it if it had to be in it's correct place.

I kind of take your point but I was saying a separate thread for politics as the EE side is completely overrun with political guff. I’m not for one minute saying censor it. Maybe just separate it out as it’s probably the most talked about topic going unfortunately. As I said on the separate thread, gaming has a separate section FFS. The prostate cancer thread was always going to be pinned as it could mean the difference between life and death.

You wouldn't have a conversation with people face to face that isn't allowed to digress god only knows where. If you're talking to your mate about football and he starts going on about his Mrs you don't say hang on we're talking football here STOP. It's like asking someone how they are and they actually tell you, it's fucking torture but you can't just say STOP I didn't really want to know.

Haha I know what you mean but tbf if someone starts talking about their Mrs in the middle of a football chat I will definitely give them short shrift🤣
