I had a couple of my posts canned recently because I strayed from the no politics rule. I am of the opinion that, were this to be relaxed, we would certainly have more robust debates that would liven up the forum, however I can appreciate Admins point of view in that it would create a lot more work for them putting out the spot fires that would surely occur as a result.
Unfortunately expressing political views can often result in personal attacks as I, and others on here, have experienced elsewhere. Once this happens the point of the original post is lost.

From what I'm reading here you don't need political posts to get personal attacks.
Imagine how bad some people would get if allowed political discussion, this site is about grey nomads travelling, if you havent any constructive or nice, keep your thoughts to yourself
Now come on Phil, you stray, never, not you, mate. I don't believe it for one minute.
We could always talk about WDH.
Keep Safe on the roads and out there.
Put it down to my age Doug the old brain has more "off" days than on!!! With regard to the WDH the fount of all knowledge on that subject can now be found elsewhere, thankfully!! Everything ok in the aluminium tent mate?

The Aluminium Tent is now 12 years old and showing signs of small replacement of items or repair so spending time arranging that or trying to do myself. A ladder is needed for some jobs, but I can't use them these days due to health. It's hard asking for help when I am so used to doing things myself all my life. Still, slowly getting things done one way or another.
I know about how the mind goes on strike now and then as Uncle Al has definitely moved in this end. I still try very hard to get up before him of a morning though. Most times successfully but miss the odd time now and then. He can be a bugga when he wants.
