Completely agree, so let's discuss 1.8 versus V6 or diesel versus petrol. 😡

Yeah, no locked threads in the technology forum...

My point in suggesting it was to provide a sanctioned area for those who do wish to discuss politics...

As with all sub forums it allows members to choose whether to read/contribute.

There's nothing to discuss. We all know that the 1.8k is best.

Fair point and I stand corrected. Perhaps it's just people that bring out the worst in people.

Again totally pointless. All those in the know recognise that Nikon is the best.

If you don't like reading it, nobody is forcing you to - just ignore it.

I don't believe that argument really works with politics. This is because so much rubbish is written that reasonable people feel compelled to provide balancing input even though they would prefer not to.

The car forum should be for cars - politics should be discussed on forums which exist for the specific purpose.
