I don't really bother too much with the politics threads Ernest, like real politics it seems to be all about point scoring rather than actually helping one another.And you haven't read any of the comments from the frothing at the mouth right wing loonies on here

A lot of it comes down to lack of resources.
I see them more as who can shout the loudest while wearing noise cancelling earphones.
I have no idea what anybody gets out of contributing on NSC's many, many, political threads.

A few sick people post there, involved in very personal warfare against each other for many years. Although they spitefully comment on absolutely everything, I noticed they're split into three camps based on politics:
1. Labour supporters who hate the Green Party and Lucas with a passion.
2. Green supporters who hate Labour with a passion.
3. Some hang-em types.
Don't think for one minute that the pro Labour and Green posters are nice people, making intelligent comments. Far from it. They're as hateful as anyone else there.

Indeed. From the very few times I have felt masochistic enough to delve into the political threads on here, it's mostly in-house fighting between left wing nutters that sends me on my way.

Makes me laugh when Naylor goes on about stuff written on here. Has he ever read the comments on his own website?

Why do people use politics to get nasty?

Doubtless you're interpreting from that I think all left wingers are nutters, no, far from it, just a few who post on nsc threads.
Alot of people won't truly listen to the opinion of others or really have a look at policies put forward.
"I 'ate the Tories, just like my Dad", or you could substitute the word "Labour". I don't think always voting for the same party as your Dad did, is a badge of honour to be proud of. Smacks of a lifetime of blinkered, rigid thinking.

Is it their political angle which offends you? If not, why the left wing reference?
and by any chance, are you rightwing?

It was a contradiction of the statement made in the first quote I replied to.

My apologies. I didn't notice the right wing vs left wing stuff going on.

That golden rule applies to almost every comments section on any website.

They're in (3) I think.
I know the types you mean. Commenting that they hope cyclists are run over "coz they don't pay VED, fuel duty and motor insurance". The Argus is rife with them.

You will find them after any article whatsoever, where the word "cycle" appears (stolen cycles, charity rides, accidents involving cycles etc) Apparently all of us cyclists always go through red traffic lights or ride on the pavement as well as our other faults you have mentioned.
