Ladies and Gentleman,
I know the past two days have had some incidents that everyone would love to discuss. Can we please not make reference to that or anything political on the site. We do not allow politics or political chat of any form.
This is a gentle reminder.
Then stop posting pictures that invite comment. Bitching about people being in Southend is completely pointless if you are going to delete any replies that even hint at the cause of it because it might be party to the P word then you might as well delete the whole thread.
I remember flying from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. I was seated next to a really large American who must have gone 25st.
Can I politely ask, genuinely, why not?Ladies and Gentleman,

In fact it goes back further than that @Thorper. You may recall that we once had a Politics Forum and as you can imagine it got more than a bit lively, to the point where we were regularly receiving reports against posters from other posters, and more often than not the comments became so personal that we took the decision to close the forum and ban politics from the Zone as folk just couldn't debate sensibly. It wasn't a decision taken lightly and it will not be rescinded.Goes back to Brexit when arguments went round and round like a merry-go-round and sometimes crossed the line.
Thanks for that. The reason I asked was that I follow two other club forums, and on both political comment is allowed. The mods only step in if it gets personal or abusive. It seems to work well and there's some good, intelligent debate on there. However, I do understand your reasoning on here.In fact it goes back further than that @Thorper.

When i worked at nearby EGL in Campfield Rd, at least 50% of the 200 plus workforce were Eastern Europeans, all there from local Job Agencies.
I worked there in the early 90s (although they were in Rochford then) and there were very few foreign staff.
I still have flashbacks about the place.
I was there in 93 in a factory near Prittlewell station and there were no foreign staff. All mad as a box of frogs mind.
It would appear that the travelling community have had extra people join their group today and the council won’t move them on under the COVID regulations/legislation recently brought in.
The local councillor has informed us that when someone new joins the group they then have to isolate the group for 14 days -so in effect if someone joins them every 14 days the council are powerless (or so they say).
In the meantime our neighbourhood has to put up with all the anti-social going ons and today a resident found a big bucket of human waste and have been using this as a toilet and literally dumped it in a brook.
They turfed the ones out that showed up on Canvey - maybe your councillors should speak to the Castle Point ones!
