    Just think that politics like that are not really needed on what is after all a Gardening forum.

    I wondered why the thread had been marked as closed. I must admit, I'm a bit lost as I don't think anyone could class what was said as offensive.
    What on earth has WWII got to do with anything? The only person who mentioned that was you. Good grief. It gets a bit scary when the thought police tell you what people are going to say in the future.

    @steveTu. Because all the other poster was doing was chucking about Joseph Geobbels quotes. Think he may have run out of them now though.

    It's odd though Lyn isn't it? I don't like Boris, Trump, Maggie, Blair, Mao, Putin - who ever, but I don't dispute that they all potentially said things that were both sensible and reasonable to me. In my mind if you censor everything that anyone says because you dislike the source it becomes a problem in itself. If those quotes had not been links but just simple text - would you (or anyone) have objected to them?
    Fine - I follow that links to dodgy sources may be reprehensible - but wouldn't a better course then be to remove the link rather than close the thread - or am I being really stupid here, as the links still exist?

    The thread was about propaganda, and i only linked to those Goebbels quotes as he is the recognised 'father' of modern propaganda.
    Oh well. Say no more.
    I still think you should watch that documentary for plenty more examples @steveTu
    I'll get my coat! :D

    I also agree that this isn't the website for politics. I only responded when tagged in from another thread where i had said as much.
    No more politics from me.
