Default Why does this NG attract so much racist comment ?

What is more, none of it seems to have anything to do with transport in
London.
Cheers,

This group attracts a tiny amount of such drivel, compared with
others. Have you ever stumbled into uk.media.radio.bbc-r4? There are
some really nasty pieces of work hanging out there.

You'd think the cast of the Archers would have better things to do.

It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

And it's made worse by the fact some morons actually reply to it. Ignore it
and they lose their incentive to post.

One poster in particular has, since the London bombings, been
crossposting his rants to u.t.l. We then end up with hundreds of
followups too (no doubt lest we don't see his ideas refuted and all
turn into racists).

Having a newsreader that can killfile a thread with a single keypress
can come in very useful.

Having a newsreader that can killfile a thread as soon as a given
poster posts in it can also come in extremely handy.

Probably a Jewish (or rather "jewish") conspiracy...or so we'll be
told....
