The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird Bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.

…Now, the Guardian reports that Israel has chosen to suspend thirty seven (37) aid organisations from Gaza.
Those include world renowned Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières) which provide “medical assistance to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, or exclusion from healthcare.”
MSF was established in 1971, operates in 70 countries and this is the first time any country has banned them from their borders.
Israel is the only country in history to ban MSF…

Greetings Leslie Bravery in your staunch recording of Israeli doings. Another Victor
