This part of the forum is titled "Loose Talk, Chat and Off Topic". It should be the home of a variety of threads covering lots of different subjects.

So why is it dominated by all the Daily Mail type headlines? Although many of the items may be perfectly valid and good debating points, I don't think it's appropriate to have this forum dominated by them.

At the moment, of the 30 threads on the front page, 17 are covering illegal immigration, asylum seekers, crime, etc. Although these are important issues, surely we're not spending more than 50% of our time talking about them?

With over 5000 threads, the "Off Topic" section is the most likely destination for first time visitors. I'm concerned that they might get the wrong idea about the interests and priorities of the majority of the members here.

In my opinion, the forum would benefit from these threads being placed in the "UK News", or another appropriate section.
