I have no idea what you mean, looks fine to me.

85% of the UK are criminals, I thought Australia was supposed to solve that for us.

You could always go the route of that guy who fathered chess champions and put an ad in the paper.

a) 38degrees is less meaningful than the meaningless change.org

b) He’s already refused an OBE.

If you’d literally pressed backspace 4 times you wouldn’t have shared a Google AMP link. You can also edit the link your post.

I wouldn’t quite say it was snarky, there was no malicious or hostile intent. It gets tiresome excessively sugar coating the message, and while I understand how you could take it the wrong way the statement was actually very neutral. At least this way I highlighted how easy it is to remove the /amp - literally: ctrl+v, backspace x4.

I’m not overly passionate about it, I just point it out, and then get on with my life. You being stubborn about it has nothing to do with me though lol.

Edit: Lmao and you’re downvoting me because I gently told you off. That’s kind of pathetic.

Maybe, but I still think he would refuse. He’s generally said that it isn’t about him.

Also, it’s not like justice has been achieved yet - or even ever will be. Many people are still out thousands, indemnifying them will take more than a £75k payout from the government.

The original petition was part of the process, sure, but the thing that clearly got through was the TV documentary. Also change.org is completely unofficial, I sort of feel like the government’s petition website would be more appropriate, although at the same time that process is more about getting Parliament to discuss a matter (and also was pretty much gutted by the Tories since 2010).

As I said in my comment below, I think he would still refuse. In particular, justice has yet to be served and victims have yet to be indemnified to the tune of many thousands - even after the £75k payout from the government. The fact that the government is offering so much to every one of them points to just how much it hurt them. It’s not like they would have offered more than the average loss.

So yeah, while I think he more than deserves it, I don’t think he wants it.

Part of this was a fix for the broken threads. It’s not really fair for a user to delete their comment and then completely remove all the other comments underneath. Before one of the recent updates, the threads underneath would get completely buggered, killing the conversation.

It’s not hard to see how this could be used maliciously. Someone could say something, be corrected and put in their place, only for them to delete their top comment and spoil the conversation.


The far bigger issue is that you can actually view the deleted comment. I’ve done it in Jerboa, simply starting a reply to the deleted comment lets you see it.
