Seems I'm on my last chance and my next minor transgression will result in a permanent ban, fair enough, not my sandpit etc.
But, before that happens I have to get one thing off my chest because it has been bugging me.
Back when Truss was PM I made a very benign joke about one of her speeches comparing it to a sketch show.
I was immediately banned for a month for racism. I never mentioned race or ethnicity, didn't even enter my head. The only thing I can think was that a mod somehow assumed I was talking about Kwarteng but even then it doesn't really make sense.
Pretty egregious smear to be labelled a racist but obviously there's no recourse at the time, the mods being faceless and all.
I won't hold my breath but it would restore a little faith if that strike could be struck off so to speak.
I can now be banned without that injustice bugging me.
Here's to a few more years yet, hopefully
