Could someone tell me how to put people on ignore because I have finally had enough.

I have never put someone on ignore before because I think it is important to listen to all sides - even EFCNIKs. However, I consider this person to be much more unpalatable than NIK and no longer wish to see the tripe he comes out with.

Assuming you're talking about Bruce you can't put him on ignore as he's a moderator.

Click on their username mate. Then click "ignore".

"not according to the dictionary" was a particular highlight.

Click on their avatar and hit ignore from there, that's how it shows up on my phone.

Ah. Didnt realise he was the potential ignoree.

And yet the rich continue to get richer and the poor, poorer. It's almost as though you're talking rubbish.

That assumes the poor are poor because the rich are rich though, which I'm not sure is the case at all. There are many, quite well documented, reasons why wealth has become more concentrated in recent years, with things like globalisation, new technologies and the like playing a considerable role.

Yet another example of the powerful sticking it to the serfs (or something)

It assumes nothing. It says that the rich are becoming richer and the poor ever more left behind, which I don't think can be justified or indeed good for society. Are you genuinely saying that the ever-increasing gap between the wealthiest and poorest in this country is acceptable?

Not funny in the slightest.

Yet another way of diverting public money into the coffers of the wealthy. As if academies were ever a good idea.

I wouldn't say its beneficial, no, but I'm not sure that re-distribution via taxation has really done much to change things. Social mobility doesn't appear to have improved much at all over the last 50 years, which either suggests that all welfare has done is keep the poor from being even poorer (ie that there will always be those that have and those that have not), or it hasn't really worked in raising social mobility.

I'll be voting UKIP, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I think we're in for another stretch of tory rule. The latest gimmick of cracking down on immigration will reign in many who were leaning to UKIP.

Well played by them really, but we should be asking them why they call UKIP racists for the very same policies.

I'll be taking that advice, right about..... now.
