Thank you for keeping track on my posts, I was unaware I had strayed past my quota of replies. Didn't realise you can only reply a person once. I shall note that down. Obviously that means I shall not be replying to you past this post. It's all very odd as there was someone else that tried to...

You keep trying to hammer this home that they are innately somehow more natural. But they're not are they? They are just words. They are just continuations of arbitrary names picked by Railway companies 130 years ago. The District or Met line frankly means sod all of *any* relevence to...

Isn't it strange how its only the people that don't like them that think it done deliberately to wind them up. Rather than you winding yourself up about them. When ever you don't like it its 'politcal' It's clear no matter what they are called some people seem determined to belive it is done to...

I'd hardly say that the Pic and Vic by virture of mentioning a single station are any more 1% more useful as a name than a nebulous name. The Pic for example is an exceptionally long line with two major west branches and prime mover for Heathrow. Piccadilly conveys that no more than if it was...

I think you've missed the point. You've taken 2 and 2 and got 5. The whole exercise as mentioned even a year ago when it was announced is/was to split the lines out and stop them being a homogeneous lump of 'overground' - Its the giving each line its own name and identity is what aids in...

This is all nonsense though really though isnt it, everything you have said is ultimately now just deemed more acceptable to many purely due to the passage of time. There is nothing inherently more natural to the district line being called the district line than any of the new names - its just a...

I was thinking the same thing. It does certainly load ammo in that particular argument next time the topic comes around again in the local press and transport initiatives.

They didn't put any words in their mouth. They asked what bad about that scenario. They had intimated that something was only done for a certain reason, that naturally leads to the logical conclusion that they see some issue with that scenario. Thus they were asking. It's always fun that as...

Think you may have had a swing an a miss there. Agree with your points but not sure it was NorthKent1989 that made *those* comments.

Quite. It's almost amazing the weird scenarios people make up in their minds to make things fit.

It was hyperbole, but you fundamentally said people are avoiding specifically naming things after white men - if you are going to pick a lane at least comit to it... I mean you even repeat it! You are sure they didn't name it that because they can't name things after white men...

The exact post that was in response to was to them saying things have to be moved away from being name "white male" and decolonised. Its pretty clear - though misreading post seems to be your forte.

Surely no less incongruous than the Mildmay Hospital being called the Mildmay despite being miles from... Mildmay

So you don't know why they didn't choose Brunel. Much as I thought. Ah yes because we can *only* name things after white men otherwise its 'woke' - white men being the only acceptable thing to name things after.

Damn those pesky Weavers... 1708010223 Were you involved in the process then? I mean you seem to know how many supported it.

No quite, Joey Barton also has a massive issue with the colour of skin or nationality as being a factor in punditry too... he doesn't like the black men either. Are you using the 9th grade tiering there for your agreement? If you think his issue is 'women' and not just a mask for 'anyone but...

And the Mission Hospital itself is named after the Mildmay Park and Mildmay Road areas up in Islington/Canonbury due the roots of William Pennefather. The line runs near the Hospital (though not the nearest) and then directly through the place it gets its namesake from.

I think if someone is finding the fact it was named after the female team and not the male team devisive, then I think there are bigger issues at play there... see Joey Barton. It's still fundamentally the England national team.

No where in the naming of Windrush does it imply or confer any importance OVER others. Thats on you. Naming it merely says it has some importance to be recognised

You are *very* good at making things up I'll give you that... I haven't told anyone to not say anything nor have I said people suggesting S Bahn numbers are having a strop... You seem very confused
