But there you go and it must be a first for some reason or other on an SM board that is "very quiet" at the best of times?!!! The word "sinister" comes to mind!! Thankfully, I'm sure there were enough readers who digested the contents of said post in the many, many days that it was there to be read without any interference.
There is a classic poster displayed at many locations (bus stops, railways stations etc) to give a flavour of welcome to the orange-faced misrepresentative of proper democratic politics. It reads (with a Trump mugshot on it), "The enemy doesn't arrive by boat!! He arrives in a private jet"!!
