Why calling for HQ staff to be sacked is unacceptable and will not be tolerated on LDV
There have been a few snarky comments directed at me on various places on the internet because we don’t allow comments on this site which abuse members of HQ staff. We can’t always catch them all, so if you see any, please let us know by emailing [email protected].
