  1. The international cat rescue system is working well. Thank you for saving this baby.
    1200
  2. Don’t forget, there’s a lot of benefit payment funds moving out of the UK every year. This needs to be questioned.
    404
  3. About twenty years ago, my then workplace decided to promote more women, despite the fact that women outnumbered men at senior levels… Anyway, I attended a talk run by HR where it became very quickly obvious that only non-white women were in the frame. A Jamaican lady stood up and declared that, if her skin colour was more important to the company than her ability, she was leaving - and she walked out that room with the majority of the attendees, myself included, behind her. Yes, she later resigned. Political Correctness has always been problematic.
    392
  4. I don’t care what Sir S’s private life is like, but I do care if an injunction is used prevent potential criminal activity being exposed.
    325
  5. There is but we don’t talk about it. It’s generally a bit messy.
    318
  6. I’m a white Englishwoman and I’ve been on the receiving end of racist language and behaviour, on one occasion being threatened very specifically for daring to walk through a non-white area of my home city. As for discrimination? I was turned down for a job at my local Council because I was white. Yes, I was actually told that. Quotas have been around for over thirty years.
    288
  7. Good luck, America! Over here in 🇬🇧 everyone is still trying to work out how an old boy in Scotland lost his head in a bus accident on 31st October, on a busy evening street, without a drop of blood being shed and no one noticing.
    242
  8. The CIA and FBI have probably been playing this game for over sixty years, since at least the McCarthy era.
    233
  9. Is that 13,000 DEI and DEI-trained officers to watch and listen for non-crimes, hm?
    221
  10. Grew up with limited hot water, an outside loo, coal fires and frost on the inside of every window every winter day. No way am I going back to that at over 60.
    198
  11. Labour MPs refusing to do their job because they’re scared of their constituents? More like scared to stand up to Starmer!
    192
  12. Ah, yes. The annual James Bond villains’ conference.
    187
  13. I don’t think 10 years is enough. Starmer should get 20, preferably on bread and water.
    184
  14. Not having sufficient taxpayer money to squander on pet projects was an infringement of their right to a kickback.
    183
  15. I admit it: I disliked Wilson and loathed Blair, but utterly despise Starmer.
    179
  16. Nice to see that Kemi is following Starmer’s lead and boosting Reform numbers!
    167
  17. I think he’s shouting for the fish to come out and play with him!
    144
  18. Just watched the speech. All those poor EU sorts sitting there like rabbits in oncoming headlights. Chef’s kiss!
    142
  19. We have similar gates in a lot of UK train stations. They tend to close very quickly with a snap and, combined with our tendency to politeness, tail-gating is not usually a problem. We also have ‘in’ and ‘out’ separately. Oh, and having railway police to hand doesn’t hurt, either.
    131
  20.  @Swiftbow  ..... so, she rejected Star Wars? What blasphemy!
    126
  21. Not as close as London is to becoming… Londonistan.
    125
  22. Waiting on our third child, but I have my doubts because my husband is now 59 and that means he’s likely post-men-opausal.
    121
  23. The women who want to ensure the protection of all women and children from exploitation and abuse are referred to as traditional feminists. This is why there’s so much effort put into decrying them.
    116
  24. THE architect.
    114
  25. Please stop slandering zoo animals.
    113
  26. They don't actually understand the concept of the meme, so: no.
    111
  27. JP: in just one sketch you’ve exposed the Five Step Plan at the core of the abusive mindset. Perfect - and scary!
    104
  28. With no security support.
    103
  29. The Left supported Hamas in Iran; the Hamas supported the Left with hemp neckties.
    103
  30. He cried. Now, pay attention to what he does next, because Narcissists cannot bear being exposed or thwarted!
    99
  31. Poor little pup was either born with some brain damage or sustained injuries from being mistreated. Being young, it was possible to retrain her brain and get her going again. Thank you for your perseverance. Apple’s a darling who deserved the chance you gave her.
    98
  32. Will this extend to smoking drugs? It’s more usual to smell weed now than mere tobacco.
    96
  33. My late mother always cooked separate meals for our dogs which she served up with rice. Judy preferred lamb; Pip was partial to chicken; neither ever had a plate of dog food.
    95
  34. “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.” - Margaret Thatcher.
    95
  35. Every country’s current government seems to have the same narrative. They all rabbit on about the Austrian painter leading the opposition. Funny coincidence, isn’t it?
    94
  36. I hold an English Literature and Language degree, so I’m happy to state: he’s being disingenuous. And is he criticising Tolkien for translating original texts into idiomatic English? I never knew ‘Beowulf’ was fanfic, fancy that.
    92
  37. Imagine the anger that’s fomenting…
    88
  38. Watching Tyson’s expression as he listens and prepares his spurious arguments in support of The Message is a lesson in itself.
    81
  39. Honestly, I’ve always thought ‘Imagine’ was a satire along the lines of Thomas Moore’s ‘Utopia’ (written 1516 in Latin, no less). I was educated back when education existed. Remember education?
    81
  40. For years, I’ve looked forward to Black History Month imparting some actual history. So far, it’s been highly disappointing.
    80
  41. Remember: never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
    79
  42. Back in the 1960s, members of the Labour Party swore to destroy England and, thereafter, Britain. This was in retaliation for the amount of pink on old maps.
    79
  43. As an English Lang & Lit graduate, I’d like to point out that ol’ Will wrote plays which examined social issues, psychological conditions and pressures, and the human experience of critical life events. Those are still relevant today. Oh, and the best stage direction in the history of the theatre: Exit, pursued by a bear.
    78
  44. My husband is one of them. He's advised me that, if I love Tolkien so much, I should not pre-judge this new iteration, but watch it and love it., since it's been made for me. He has never read anything Tolkien, not even Tha Hobbit, because 'fantasy is rubbish'. He is still alive, btw.
    77
  45.  @johannaholmgren8088  they can demand whatever they like - it’s time they learned the meaning of the word ‘NO’.
    76
  46. Blaming the victim is a core value of all entitled, abusive a**hats.
    75
  47. The perp blamed the victim so I expect we’ll hear that soon.
    74
  48. Do the dolls beg the adult to stop? Do the dolls scream and cry? Do the dolls suffer lifelong psychological trauma and/or physical injury? Do the dolls expire? No? Then the sadistic play-doh-files won’t be interested but they’ll happily say exactly what they’re expected to say.
    73
  49. Chicken. And corn on the cob.
    73
  50. Shut off the hearing in hotels housing irregulars. That’ll save a lot of public dosh that can be redistributed to the elderly and needy.
    73
  51. That’s real comedy - that’s a true jester holding up the mirror to reality. Did it offend? Yup. Can we see who was offended? Yup. Job done. Hello, from the UK!
    68
  52. For spreading propaganda on behalf of terrorist organisations!
    68
  53. LoTR, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, the Unfinished Tales… they make up the ultimate canon. It’s a single, self-contained, fully-realised entity. In this, it’s pretty unique and has influenced fantasy even more than classics such as The King of Elfland’s Daughter or The Sword in the Stone/The Once and Future King. It’s the last bastion against the petty-minded envy of those suffering histrionic personality disorder (I’m being polite) who are trying to pwn everything and push The Message. Sauron wanted to bring the whole world into Mordor, an ugly place without hopes or dreams. I’m sure he would be proud of these self-proclaimed captains.
    65
  54. I still scratch my head over this 'diversity' casting thing. Didn't it used to be called 'tokenism'.
    63
  55. Last year, I waited four hours for a triage doctor to tell me I had a virus, no tests required, go away. One week later, I’m at another A&E (yes, we have two locally). This time, the doctors were on strike. Waiting time a half hour, then a paramedic diagnosed pleurisy and prescribed antibiotics. Enough said.
    62
  56. Because, if any of the indigenous British speak out, it’d be a hate crime and off to the gulag. Ironically, being Russian, Konstantin is protected by the laws we would be breaking.
    61
  57. Lammy’s lining himself up for a sweet backhander, isn’t he? Probably promised to share it with his Leftie chums.
    60
  58. I’ll settle for gross incompetence.
    60
  59. I first read of pemmican as a child in John Masefield’s ‘The Box of Delights’: ”They don’t take salt pork any more,” Peter said. “They take pemmican, which is beef chopped up with fat and raisins and chocolate and beer and almonds and ginger and stuff. It must be a sickening mess, but it’s very nourishing. It’s supposed to be what the ancient Britons had.” Never liked the idea of it!
    58
  60. I recall the Guardian Angels being set up in NYC in the late 1970s as an unarmed deterrent to violence and crime on the subway. And Central Park was a haunt for muggers and murderers… I know it wasn’t written with NYC crime in mind, but ‘Escape from New York’ was pretty much how we Brits saw the city back then!
    58
  61. 77 offs to “Palestine”.
    56
  62. Planting suitcases of women's clothing at airfield drop sites.
    56
  63. What was it Ben Bova wrote? Villains consider themselves heroes in their own stories?These modern writers never got to read the whole exposition, what with their three second attention span.
    56
  64. Yesterday, a cashier informed me that every shop in the small local mall is suffering daily thefts. Staff have been warned not to tackle the criminals; those who did at first were threatened with knives, hammers, or hypodermics. Allegedly, the police are doing nothing but, in my experience, I’d say that’s not exactly true… I live in England, in the East Midlands region.
    55
  65. Oh, JP. Of course the athletes who didn’t show were suffering unconscionable levels of online bullying and genuinely feared for their lives. Such trauma! I’m sure there’ll be a press statement blaming the race-ists.
    55
  66. Honestly, I think Chris Hemsworth had enormous fun baiting Waititi to go batshit crazy, because his Thor is going to be bumped from the MCU. PS: Waititi is 46 and seems obsessed with fantasy women. Hm.
    54
  67. Oddly enough, we ‘Boomers’ were taught to think independently by the very type of people now pushing Political Correctness (now referred to as Wokeism; so much nicer a term than Socialism or Communism). Those were early days, trying to make our generation see that traditional education was controlled by an establishment pushing an ages old approved narrative which - oh, my! - caused social inequality and war. We were given the basics and told, to a certain extent, to teach ourselves… which some of us did… Were we manipulated? Certainly. But we were manipulated to spot manipulation! That’s why some of my generation went into the manipulation game and were/are very successful.
    53
  68. The end of Mozzarella as we know it.
    53
  69. Can’t gold pave streets if the local Democrats are getting into gold limos.
    51
  70. A beautiful (not) example of Woke diversionary tactics.
    50
  71. Abusers always blame their victims.
    50
  72. Like, we’ve never heard that excuse before hem-hem post-WWII.
    49
  73. They're irregular, as in army.
    48
  74. It’s not bias - it’s abuse. Another string to the BBC’s Woke bow.
    48
  75. “It’s about male dominance and power” - thank you, Helen, for clearly stating openly what I’ve been thinking for some time now.
    47
  76. Indeed, given how supportive they are of the religion of peace.
    47
  77. I’m offended that some anonymous people set out with hateful intent to get offended in order to offend people they hate.
    46
  78. Why don’t these men wear blindfolds? Surely that’d solve the problem because they couldn’t see it?
    45
  79. In fact, I have problems as a woman in controlling my anger when I see half-arsed Woke rubbish ruining my decades of Marvel (and DC) comics reading.
    45
  80. I am beginning to wonder exactly who voted for Labour... but I guess those people wouldn''t care to admit that right now.
    45
  81. No mainstream has. None of my work colleagues knew about it today.
    45
  82. Girl made an observation. End of. The “victim” could’ve gently explained the situation and moved on rather than flex their entitlement.
    45
  83. Add an onion and you’d be in England.
    44
  84. The curse + amnesia invalidates the need for a story. It’s pretty much: “Mermaid dies after three days. The end.”
    44
  85. If he’s the descendant of slaves, he’d still be in Africa, hm?
    43
  86. I was grateful that she didn’t start screaming incoherently at the sky.
    42
  87. I’ve not bought a newspaper for around two decades. I’m well ahead of this curve!
    42
  88. Ahh, diddums. Maybe Trump can arrange for USAID to pay for a few boxes of tissues for the EUrocraps?
    42
  89. IMHO, we’re seeing the Dunning-Kruger Effect in action; none of these ideologues realises how stupid they, as individuals, are.
    42
  90. Nigel’s going to need that sum to bring appeals for Labour’s ever-increasing number of political prisoners…
    41
  91. I have a profoundly deaf friend. When she’s not wearing her hearing aids, she tends to maintain a neutral expression until someone engages her attention. I’ve only seen clips of ‘Echo’ but I guess the actress, not receiving verbal prompts, maintains her neutral face except where she’s been coached.
    41
  92. Amnesty International? As represented by the women at that notorious Leftwing rally vs non-existent Rightwing?
    41
  93. Naughty landlords can charge ever-increasing rents knowing that benefits will pay for it. It’s a little discussed scandal.
    41
  94.  @EmmiLiaHoward  I don't think they've stolen my culture - they have mangled, abused and disrespected it. Ditto one of this world's greatest works of literature.
    40
  95. My friend is asking the same question…
    40
  96. Starmer is off to see Trump shortly. He asked for the meeting. I wonder what other self-aggrandising proposals he’ll be putting there?
    40
  97. It’s happened in France, too. One more similar event and we’ll know it’s not coincidence.
    39
  98. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
    39
  99. Just an observation: the female-to-male few I’ve encountered, irl and online, are not happy with this kind of situation. It’s all rather one way, isn’t it?
    39
  100. Woke is now broken.
    39
  101. Did you notice that a lot of couples are one blk man, one wht woman?
    38
  102. It’s a typical Narcissistic non-apology.
    38
  103. I have encountered people who popped back to their war-torn country to see their old Mum every few months. The idea that they might be involved in smuggling never crossed me mind 🙄
    38
  104. Barely an inconvenience, I'd say.
    38
  105. Ah, I think I know the answer to female underrepresentation in certain industries: it was a straw man argument raised when feminists asked for equal pay for equal work.
    38
  106. It’s calling Hamx bluff. There’s a suspicion that no further hostages are still alive…
    38
  107.  @lauterunvollkommenheit4344  no such thing as ‘transgender kids’ who can wait on transition. Only adults with agendas.
    38
  108. Soooooo…. Can we also have a redefinition of the term “man”?
    37
  109. I knew about this illness and was impressed that Gaiman had done his homework. My maternal grandfather’s 1928 death certificate states ‘meningitis’, but he may well have suffered from the hyperkinetic form as my mother, then only four, could clearly recall the horror of seeing him jerking and making odd noises before he was removed to hospital.
    37
  110. I’d never heard the Magic Stick story before now, but I’d guess it’s a very old folktale along the lines of a man acquiring (possibly by naughty means) a spear said to always kill what the bearer wishes. In this case, the man wishes it to bring his hungry family meat. The wife becomes frightened, so the man tries to stop what is now a curse by locking the spear away but, to their horror, it kills their dog… and it could kill one of them. Accordingly, the spear is burned and the ashes scattered, rendering the magic inert. Think of it as a bloodier version of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice!
    36
  111. Certain people are scared what information he has, including names.
    36
  112. I remember that we used to make paper flower crowns - the boys and the girls - and some of us were taught to dance round the Maypole, which was set up outside if the weather was nice or in the hall if it was not. The local vicar came to bless the Maypole every year back then. We all received a drink of fresh juice in a school dinner cup and a sandwich with crisps, and parents and teachers got beer or lemonade!
    36
  113. Don’t forget: the EU was first called The Common Market. It sounded so innocuous.
    36
  114. Two-tier Human Rights!
    35
  115. And protected his personal pension.
    35
  116. No problem. Granny will be taking an indefinite holiday in Estonia.
    35
  117. We need net zero Labour.
    35
  118. Stage1. Cause a problem - Stage 2, exacerbate the problem - Stage 3. Claim extra state resources to fix the problem - Stage 4. Don’t fix the problem. Repeat ad nauseum from stage 2. A time-honoured public service scam 👏
    34
  119. We acquired Major Tom this way. First, we bought him an outside shelter, but he started venturing inside until, one day, he turned up limping and in obvious pain. The vet advised he was very old and had arthritis. Tom took his meds, ate, slept a lot inside, but always wanted to roam during the day. The old boy passed away quietly, being cuddled, at his last visit to the vets (he was not euthanised) aged, it was thought, around 23.
    34
  120. Locked cabinets and displays have been a feature in larger US stores for a year or so. Many factors involved, but “irregular” migrant gangs have played a huge part in places like NYC.
    34
  121. She’s a Leftie. They don’t understand how humour works. It’s kinda zen.
    34
  122. Saw it mentioned that he self-identifies as aged 17?
    34
  123. We don’t need your money, but can you lend us Trump, Musk, Senators Cruz and Kennedy, and that lovely young lady, Karoline Leavitt? Hi from 🇬🇧
    34
  124. What a beauty and such a lovely personality. Shame about the human.
    34
  125. I get 90% nonwht actor adverts on YT. Mind you, 99.9% of YT adverts are completely irrelevant to me, anyway.
    33
  126. Notice that it’s the capital cities in every case, hm?
    33
  127. The Left has joined the conversation.
    33
  128. As with the UK and Europe, your “asylum seekers” are mainly young men. Funny, isn’t it? They’re fleeing war zones but few women and children are… Btw, one single male grifter in Ireland demanded a big house, a well-paid job, and a future for his children. Hm. He’s planning to ship in his entire family; be aware of this, NYC.
    33
  129. Happy to see she will not grow up an illiterat!
    33
  130. I actually think Zalensky is scared of D.O.G.E. Never mind, he can always retire to his Parisian pad, sail his yacht, and enjoy years of luxurious living while the Ukraine burns. Unless he claims asylum in the UK, of course.
    33
  131. The same… persons who have been supporting the film, gaming and comic book industries for the past fifteen or so years. They’re referred to as The Modern Audience (with thanks to Critical Drinker).
    33
  132. Fire resistance potion, +9000 fire retardant on the armour stats and a critical D20 roll.
    32
  133. Not releasing information in order to protect whose public safety? Not the general public, especially not females of the general public.
    32
  134. At this point, I imagine Starmer believes he can dance on water…
    32
  135. Freedom of Comedy, too.
    32
  136. Multiculturalism, eh?
    32
  137. Ouch 😁
    32
  138. Unsolved or “we won’t touch that in case it upsets [insert] community”?
    32
  139.  @paulreid2223  yep, and 'she's' tucking.
    31
  140. Called him or her a chihuahua?
    31
  141. About that cornstarch: it was mixed with dye and that could damage the rare lichens on the stones. So: which side do you come down on? Ban oil nutjobs or environmentalists?
    31
  142. I’d like to point out that those selfsame three points are the basis of Woke thinking.
    31
  143. Since I’m not a psychologist nor on personal terms with Sir S, I’m not qualified to make a diagnosis. However I suspect he’s on the Dark Tetrad or really overdone the Botox.
    31
  144. Not pubs: Working Men’s Clubs.
    31
  145. So many Labour Party members holding positions of power aren’t truly British. We need the whole kit and caboodle investigating and Starmer can’t allow that!
    31
  146. A real life Six Dinner Sid!
    31
  147. You know, no matter how tough the modern young woman is, they’ve nothing on your granny’s generation!
    31
  148. I graduated in 1982, before psychological concerns and trigger warnings were invented. While I agree that it’s virtual signalling, I guess it’s also lining someone’s pockets. Always ask: where’s the money?
    31
  149. They get a chance to appeal. That allows time for them to disappear.
    30
  150. And here’s the mandatory response by the ProPalestinian.
    30
  151. Shadowfaux. Know what you did there.
    30
  152. Since I found out that, during the Chinese Cultural Revolution, mobs really did murder and canabalise the targets of their jealousy, I can't quite cope with 'eat the rich'.
    30
  153. MEGA - I like that!
    30
  154. 60% and rising.
    30
  155. This crap started back in the 1970s in the UK and never quite took hold because we mocked it, hence 1983's Monty Python to which you refer. JP does a good job for 2022 US.
    30
  156. Maybe England will put the last nail in the Labour coffin?
    30
  157. You want to bet on that? Guess what will be fed into the algorithym generator as reference material?
    30
  158. The incense is readily available, but the clothing has been adopted by Western up-market sellers, which is a shame as it limits the number of potential buyers. Edit: the flowers are important to the economy as large numbers of people would, otherwise, be jobless.
    29
  159. And most Jamaicans who came here set out to improve their skills and lives!
    29
  160. People in UK areas where local elections have cancelled their Council Tax direct debits. Can a country do this to the EU, or do the bureaucrats have their grubby hands on all the bank accounts?
    29
  161. It’s a pretty standard benefit scam.
    29
  162. Oh, we know that Starmer will ultimately ignore the petition, but Elon and Trump are watching…
    29
  163. No need for your nearest and dearest to worry about funeral costs - the Gulag will take care of it.
    28
  164. Unable to act in case they’re accused of excessive nastiness and/or istaphobia.
    28
  165. Perhaps the writers have reached the point where they get maudlin drunk and their conscience manages to get a word in edgeways: I really messed up my life. Then they sober up and deliberately set out to tempt younger women with the same bad choices.
    28
  166. @grahamrichardson7851 defeatist. Anyway, this is just the pre-event psychological softening-up and testing police response.
    28
  167. I think the name is quite appropriate. One meaning of labour is: have difficulty in doing something despite working hard.
    28
  168. At this point, Ireland is facing the worst of it. I suspect that the South, having dared to rebel by not voting as instructed, has been targeted by the EU.
    28
  169. 6 months.
    28
  170. Ask any woman from a Western country and you'll get a slap.
    27
  171. In that we have no previous experience of a virus appearing in so many places simultaneously?
    27
  172. So pleased to see you referring to DARVO. This needs to be understood as a key indicator of entitlement and the abusive mindset.
    27
  173. Given it has been suggested that a large proportion of young girls diagnosed with autism are taking puberty blockers before moving to cross-sex hormones and full neutering operations, I'm very much of the opinion that we're seeing a eugenics programme in action, so of course no one wants clinical psychologists involved.
    27
  174. That’s the point: divide and conquer.
    27
  175. I’ll bet those other nations are looking around them, seeing the landscape, and wondering… The Republicans have already opened a discussion in the US, and the Aussies are Not Happy.
    27
  176. Gavin Newsom.
    27
  177. My American friend is a Democrat and doesn’t like Trump. However, she totally agrees that Labour should not have tried interfering with the US election and Trump should now give ‘em heck.
    26
  178. That’s actually insulting A.I.
    26
  179. I tried Ben & Jerry’s once. Then I checked the ingredients. As the Raven said: never more.
    26
  180. @MB10-66 it’s a disingenuous challenge typical of a Leftwhinger. Just ignore.
    25
  181. Please: people in the Middle Ages did have standards. It’s just that some of them were never improved upon…
    25
  182. Labour are already taunting us.
    25
  183. The family defrauded RUSSIA!!!
    25
  184. 'They'' cast a black female in the role of a real Nordic male historical figure.
    25
  185.  @Belerez  you have your take on the story and characters - we have ours. I get that, but methinks you protest too much. Go away, now.
    25
  186. The vid, its soundtrack, and timing are all indeed deliberate. It’s certainly made a lot of people very, very angry. Just like Starmer’s speech about RW bandwagons. Am I the only one suspecting this is part of an escalating psyop?
    25
  187. The Tories are the other side of the uniparty.
    25
  188. Not just epileptics, but those with certain eyesight problems, not just blindness, and anyone with perception issues or the reduced ability to interact due to some form of autism, dementia, stroke, accident-caused brain damage etc. And don’t forget the poor; going to need the poor to do the practical work irl.
    25
  189. Darling, this has been happening for decades. Some even claim asylum then go back to their home country to work while the process runs.
    25
  190. “Those who live by the sword, die by the sword.” “The sword is a two-edged weapon.”
    25
  191. Eldest son, 27, living at home. He’s angry that he can’t find well-paid work, and so afford to find a wife and start his own family. I’m a Boomer. I’m supporting him in many ways, financially not the least. It’s a struggle, too; I’m over 60 and being exploited by a system that only pays the minimum wage. Why blame me when this situation is actually a cynical reapplication of the principles for Reducing the Surplus Population by those who see the working class as “insects in the dust” (read your Dickens).
    25
  192. This is the Labour Party which, in 1965, engineered the end of grammar schools. They’ve had private education in their sights for decades. Of course, Labour MPs will always require top notch education for their own children.
    25
  193. Blair is a classic dissembler. I took an instant dislike to him the very first time I observed that his eyes belied his smile. In fact, I’m still of the opinion that Blair was Wormwood’s replacement in Uncle Screwtape’s office.
    25
  194. Let me get this straight… This would give the party currently in power the right to arrest anyone supporting the party not currently in power. Where have I heard that one before, I wonder?
    25
  195. Why so? I’m sure the Labour Party will approve.
    25
  196. Oh, we call that “a collation” at this house. It starts with any available fresh veggies, eggs, cheeses, some nuts, and a fridge and freezer raid, and ends up a pile on a big plate or two with mayo, mustard and bread or chips on the side. I like pickles, but the family doesn’t, so I pop out a few capers for myself.
    25
  197. @DonWun-q9y are you referring to the gg victims or the perpetrators? As far as I’m aware, none of the latter have “disappeared” except abroad to escape prosecution.
    24
  198. Don’t you find it rather strange that our government is behaving this way? Bought out? Blackmail? The equivalent to paying protection? Or being gently guided towsrds the brink of the cliff?
    24
  199. Nor me, but I live in a city where the sheeple have baa’d for Labour for a good seventy+ years.
    24
  200. Europeans migrants are pretty much a general mix of old, young, men, women, families… Non-Europeans migrants tend to be primarily young men and, secondly, single mothers.
    24
  201. Correct. I’ve been wondering ever since his first showing post-Southport, since every speech makes him look stupider - and more obsessed - than the one before.
    24
  202. Actually, imo, Sir S has kindly shown us how much his party despises the British people. He's also shown us that Britain harbours more than one non-integrated culture, plus a fully-operational network of "counter-protestors", all quite willing to threaten violence if they don't get their way. We can clearly see that two-tier policing - and justice - is indeed very real, and that we face a worrying level of random censorship. Interesting times, what?
    24
  203. Maybe she didn’t get the best caviar and Bolly?
    23
  204. Chart? We probably need a process flow!
    23
  205. But there has to be a recession. It’s a more modern and, at first glance, less brutal way of introducing the usual mass starvation plan.
    23
  206. Darling, there’s no comparison. Beside Mandela, Tommy is an anointed saint. You’ve swallowed ANC propaganda.
    23
  207. You spotted the elephant! Well done!
    23
  208. I’d contend with that assumption. Why would a body - say, the WEF - want to replace innovative people who obey laws and edicts with those who offer nothing and only obey their own rules? This isn’t a Great Replacement - it’s a Great Reset.
    23
  209. Employers may not be at fault. However, job broking agencies most definitely are.
    23
  210. Trump is on this already.
    23
  211. There is a peace treaty on the table. Wtf are the EU leaders smoking?
    23
  212. @SquidgyPickle my workplace closes for two weeks over Christmas and the New Year. It’s wonderful! I get to slow down, see my family, catch up on chores, and lounge around reading or gaming (WoW, actually). But Monday and unreliable public transport are looming darkly. Three more years of this, unless I’m made redundant to ease my employer’s increased NI payments.
    23
  213. Cherie Blair may have made a bit of cash out of the asylum system. Maybe Starmer did, too.
    22
  214. You think this is bad? There are women who aren’t drugged when this happens to them… think about that. Wives, girlfriends and victims of sex trafficking. And, the cherry on the top, most abusers get away with it.
    22
  215. We give up and hand over the keys? I think not! Labour MPs back in the late 1960s said they’d wreck Britain. Vote Reform.
    22
  216. Standard Dark Tetrad playbook. Provoke the victim then claim righteous indignation and victimhood when the victim finally snaps.
    22
  217. Aren’t certain Islamic countries some of the world’s biggest oil producers?
    22
  218. It must be a shock for the unaparty to realise that you can’t fool all of the people all of the time 😱
    22
  219. Britain has been at danger many times in history, but never so insidiously.
    22
  220. As a degree holder, I’ll never cease to be amazed that more recent generations don’t seem able to read a whole book and, if they do, can’t tell you a précis of what they’ve just read.
    22
  221. I saw the suit and my first thought was: a bad CGI version of Transformers' Arcee. Then, I decided that it's just meant to be manga-esque.
    22
  222. Many have foolishly mistaken our tolerance for compliance…
    22
  223. What has the voice coach to say about this situation?
    22
  224. He’d love to, though. Removing a huge number of armed personnel from Britain leaves the people here more vulnerable if… something kicks off.
    22
  225. Don’t forget: Seamus predicted the redesigned flag madness, too.
    22
  226. After Raja Miah’s interview on Tousi TV yesterday, it sounds like there are local councillors still involved, allegedly carrying out campaigns against anyone who objects to the gangs.
    22
  227. Farage is helping to bring a private prosecution against those particular thugs.
    22
  228. My expectations have been subverted. Sighs
    22
  229. Here in the UK we wait for the little green man. Make of that what you will...
    22
  230.  @uniquesongstress  I’ll not be classed as a senior citizen until I’m nearly 67 and then that’ll get me a big fat nothing from the UK government or local authorities. But I don’t think I’d like to move to the US.
    21
  231. Maybe this bison is identifying with Fred in Scooby-Doo? Can't imagine it'd be with the Velma version...
    21
  232. It’s called Stockholm Syndrome and it generally kicks in as a survival strategy after weeks, if not months, of gruelling emotional and psychological torture by nasty bastards. I’m impressed that Robyn and her not-merry men can cause it to happen in such short order.
    21
  233. We, the people, agree. They, the elite, don’t.
    21
  234. We used to be able to buy ‘sesame snacks’ in the UK - thin wafers containing nothing but seeds and honey. They had a three month shelf life!
    21
  235. “Shaken baby” cases, anyone?
    21
  236. It's short for 'cissy' and we can all do without that playground slur. PS: look up cis-trans isomerism, because organic chemistry is tight.
    21
  237. I dunno about that. The southern Irish have the same kind of problems we’re having with uncontrolled immigration - being ordered to obey EU open border rules - so they’ll probably chase him off to Brussels.
    21
  238. My late father - bless him - stayed on the Home Front in WWII, driving and carrying messages. He loved scrambled egg on toast and always maintained that it was much better if made from powdered egg. Did you know that Churchill donated his powdered egg rations to the NAAFI when he was visiting different camps? My father claimed he’d that been served Churchill’s scrambled egg after one particular message drop.
    21
  239.  @ianpatterson6552  given that sounds like the title of a theme park water ride, lots of money, I'd think.
    21
  240. Yes, I am a beta male, because I'm a woman!
    21
  241. 99% of all rational people...
    20
  242. In the UK, too.
    20
  243. Freebies attract the most needy and the most greedy.
    20
  244. A contract involving HUGE sums of £ that’ll burden Britain for a century. And that on top of the HUGE sums promised in the Chagos 100 year deal, and the potential HUGE sums we could be paying in “reparations” to the Caribbean, also for 100 years.
    20
  245. And tender his immediate resignation.
    20
  246. Yet if the government invested in the mines, it could make a lot of money… short-sightedness.
    20
  247. He’s crompromised.
    20
  248.  @cristsan4171  rabbit was a cheap meal option and often served with potatoes. Sadly, a diet of rabbit is very bad for the health but the potatoes were given the blame!
    20
  249. Add LEGO to that list and you are definitely a father.
    20
  250. ago @LibertarianGalt the poet Ebenezer Elliot explained this perfectly in 1850: What is a Communist? One who hath yearnings For the equal division of unequal earnings. Idler, or bungler, or both, he is willing To fork out his penny and pocket your shilling.
    20
  251. Interesting idea. I second it.
    20
  252.  @The_InfantMalePollockFrancis not allowed to say England for the English… because Labour politicians have promised Englands demise since the 1960s
    19
  253. Only the native Scots, Welsh, English and (Northern) Irish, perhaps?
    19
  254. The kids don’t care if their parents are in gaol. They’ve already had the “you don’t understand me” and “drop dead” conversation, and flounced out to rebel. It’s later, when the truth of their situation dawns on them, that they regret being so obnoxious. For some, it’s far too late. After all, older generations could take off their group costume, get their hair redone, and remove the makeup. They went on to work, marry and raise families. What future have gender ideology victims?
    19
  255. It’s just the usual Commy-une-ist approved response to anyone standing up to them.
    19
  256. “More cars”? Not under net zero! Come to think about it, net zero also means no new homes.
    19
  257. The whole case could have been used to scapegoat Lucy because she drew attention to serious procedural failings. Expert witnesses must always be under scrutiny in any such case. Remember the “shaken baby” scandal?
    19
  258. The term is “kangaroo court”.
    19
  259. They’re scared of cancellation and non-crime reports, so will always agree with the narrative.
    19
  260. Just yesterday, I was talking with a delightful Jamaican gentleman on the bus. He’s 74 and said he came to England, to work, in 1975. His biggest worry was that many illegal immigrants - and legal ones - despise English culture, history and Christian values.
    19
  261. The “asylum seekers” hop from country to country, seeing if any one of them will agree to offer them all the goodies. Although it does sound more and more that they’re travelling legally to the French coast for a little Channel crossing where passports tend to drown.
    19
  262. A global warming zealot got me a 24 hour YT ban last year for highlighting that we’re in an interglacial period. I suggested he reads “The Forgotten Enemy”, published 1949, by Arthur C. Clarke which was, apparently, nasty propaganda! 🤣
    19
  263. This is all over American media. Saving the smelt - a common fish, but “endangered” in states with fewer suitable ecologies for them - is a very important message to cover up DEI stupidity and very, very bad climate change activist decisions.
    19
  264. The French coastguard has escorted sinking boats into British waters rather than render aid, and then we got the wringing hands over women and children drowning (NB. not men).I think we shouldn’t forget that.
    19
  265. They were indeed happy to see the Roma leave for the UK. A Romanian colleague, on the other hand, was extremely anxious about Roma coming to our city.
    19
  266. If it meant that 3rd world countries could be improved dramatically, I’d be there. Unfortunately, it will just lead to the lowest common denominator worldwide.
    19
  267. Ending Russian aggression? You mean Starmer is upset that, when he parades his NATO connections and makes little growling noises, Putin warns him off? Sounds more like the fool and a few friends are going to support Zalensky and the expansion of the Ukraine war.
    19
  268. If you check several job websites you will find the identical job advertisement. This is not coming from the employers; it’s a practice called scraping, where a legit vacancy is stolen and distributed by lots of employment agencies. Scraping vastly inflates the number of vacancies available at any time. It also means that lots of candidates’ applications go nowhere because employers automatically reject them. Worse, many agencies run job vacancies without closing dates or - and I have seen this - relist with new closing dates.
    18
  269. @Poohbear2025 and that excuses enforced complete isolation? What the heck is actually going on?
    18
  270. Alyssa Wapanatakh has watched all the Peter Pan movies. Good for her! Obviously doesn’t mention that she’s familiar with at least ‘Peter and Wendy’ by a Scottish author named Sir James Matthew Barrie. Probably no one working on this abomination has ever read the book much less come to grips with its complex themes. EDIT: let me share this, one of my favourite quotes, which now has an added air of sadness,: “So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land."
    18
  271. So, there are people entering the country who earn less than £40k a year? Does that mean some of them earn £20k a year like I do?
    18
  272. How are we supposed to know who commits crimes if the police won’t release details anyway? But… this particular instance could have hilarious consequences. Imagine a future “if you have any information about this person, contact…” NB: Mustn’t assume the gender.
    18
  273.  @komal146  Halwa is awfully yummy and addictive!
    18
  274. That's been pulled due to inexplicable down-voting, especially in the UK. Shame, really: it was hilarious watching the token white lady gamefully trying to cope.
    18
  275. I’m assuming these actors and actresses are standing on the edge of the Amazon abyss and, there, they see their own souls reflected.
    18
  276. Why is there no investment in nuclear power stations? That’d keep the economy moving and houses lit and transport… Oh, right. Silly me 😂
    18
  277. The first time Sharia imposes public capital punishment…
    18
  278. Having received Health and Safety training here in the UK, I’d probably slap a needs to be made safe order on a few of those places because they’re patently dangerous for the partially sighted and blind.
    18
  279. During the early 1990s, I took a shortcut through part of my home city, and was followed by a group of nine men (guess which type), who yelled at me to get off their street or (graphic threats). I got so annoyed, I told them to go forth, because they did not own any part of England. Since then, it’s become a no-go street/area. I’m guess that, if I did that today, I’d be up in front of the beak for many anti-social crimes, capiche?
    18
  280. Blair… Blair is behind all this!
    18
  281. We’re not done yet. In fact, we’ve only just started on the route to Reform our country.
    18
  282. I live in the East Midlands. If I open a window, I can hear the baa-ing.
    18
  283. Narcissists rarely smile in the same circumstances. They get intense, determined to tell you why you're wrong and talk you round to their side. This is why Narcs are so dangerous, able to convince third parties why the victim is the abuser.
    18
  284. Cancelling good shows after season one or two seems to be a deliberate move. It forces viewers to spend time searching for other good shows, thus creating watch hours for the stats provided to investors while temporarily covering up the number of unsubscribers.
    18
  285. I remember when Rhodesia became Zimbabwe (by archaeological misappropriation) in 1969. My parents said we’d be seeing a lot of the people who cast off oppressive British Imperialism fleeing to that same Britain when the initial euphoria wore off and the Communists took over. It’s 2021 and I’m wondering if Americans will soon start turning up at Heathrow claiming asylum... er... that they are fleeing the asylum...
    18
  286. Was discussing this new movie with my son and he tartly observed that the term 'the modern audience' is a euphemism for zombies.
    18
  287. I think the turning point for many was Starmer emphatically stating that he preferred the WEF. Man really is a tool, btw. I’m starting to look closely at the WEF and wondering what Machiavellian politics are in play.
    18
  288. According to a recent training document I read, anything can be a “micro-aggression” if someone says it is, and the aggressor will be punished. We’re living in a Kafkaesque universe run by weak bullies.
    18
  289. Action? Like tarring and feathering?
    18
  290. Remove a Woke Human Rights judge? Can’t do that! Human Rights apply there, too.
    18
  291. The people knew (and know) about this and did say something, being immediately gaslighted, labelled and threatened by both a weaponised judiciary and the perps.
    17
  292. Words came down from Number 10. The police obeyed, because they were ordered to do so.
    17
  293. It’s a modern version of Where’s the Lady…
    17
  294. Postal voting, especially.
    17
  295. Wouldn’t be surprised.
    17
  296. Labour jumping on the “Ban X” bandwagon? What a surprise 🙄
    17
  297. The hundreds of non-crime hate allegations raised against Humza Yusuf didn’t go anywhere. That saved a lot of police time for chasing innocents.
    17
  298. Don’t bite @ABM750 - poor bot can’t help itself.
    17
  299. There were allegations that whole blocks of flats were "isolated" - nothing in, nothing out - no one in, no one out.
    17
  300. Never wanted to be a boy, but I’m still a tomboy in my 60s. Lord knows what they’d do to me now if I was younger and refused to agree I was born in the wrong body.
    17
  301. ... or a girl or a woman.
    17
  302. Psychopathy.
    17
  303. The judges currently in post were not appointed by Sir S. He hasn’t had time to do a US Democratic Party.
    17
  304.  @wnchstrman  the man's a genius so just the once - he had to squeeze in that 'yes' box, remember?
    17
  305. @anonnemo2504 the panic is already on to mine deeper seams of DEI to pelt us with. I received extremely agonising mandatory “Understanding the Non-Binary” training this week. I womanfully restrained myself from asking how this theory can be applied to Schrödinger’s cat.
    17
  306. Ouch. Merry Christmas, JP. And a Happy New Year!
    17
  307. Remember the story of the man who robbed a bank and was astonished to be arrested shortly afterwards? He reportedly said “but I wore the juice!” Turns out, he believed that lemon juice, usable as invisible ink, made his face invisible to the security cameras. The show writers also suffer from the lemon juice delusion.
    17
  308. There are some ‘time extended’ families out here! My Grandma was born in 1884 and my father in 1903. As of this post, I’m 61 and my eldest son is 25! ABQRT: thank you for this family story.
    17
  309. Inciting.
    17
  310. And stop breathing? We exhale more CO2 than we inhale…
    17
  311. Ed Miliband’s rather impossible plan to remove CO2 from the air above Britain just happened to cost the exact same sum as that black hole.
    17
  312. I know Disney said that Marvel was their way of reaching a male audience but I rather think it was more about reaching the nerds - and nerdesses - who represented a pool of otherwise untouchable cash. Disney was not alone in doing this, as every studio put out nerd-focussed content. But they all underestimated us, thinking we were so stupid they could eventually serve hot garbage and we’d pay for the privilege of gobbling it up. Sheer effing hubris, my dear.
    17
  313. I imagine an awful lot of people are very, very angry. But they’re wise enough to spot the trap Starmer has laid…
    17
  314. If only there was some opposition to this madness, an opposition calling for the protection of women and children from exploitation and abuse…. There is: it’s traditional feminism. Why do you think it’s been systematically attacked, mocked and reviled?
    17
  315. Labour will probably legislate that assisted termination will be invoked the days after we are eventually allowed to retire. No burden on the state, right? Probably give it a nice name like, oh, Carousel.
    17
  316. Misogyny or abusive entitlement?
    17
  317. Thought it might be a spark generated by the spinning.
    16
  318. I’m a feminist - one of the real old-style ones - and I don’t see myself as a “girl boss” nor do I like such characters (I use the term loosely: they don’t have characters).
    16
  319. My father told me that, when I first encountered circus clowns at age 4, I burst into tears. Asked why, I explained: All these people are laughing at those men just because they look different and have big feet. Fast forward 60 years, and no one is permitted to laugh at the men who “look different” and wear size 14 stilettos...
    16
  320. Saw a farmer claiming that, once the cows start on the food additive, there’s no going back. It’s going to cost a lot of money, there might be a risk to the cows and their future calves, and it might not be possible to stop feeding the additive without causing unnecessary harm. I thought live testing was a lot more stringent and that the product(s) of such testing were not put into the food chain until proven 100% safe. Silly me…
    16
  321. Gift-wrapped communism. It’s difficult to tell the two apart.
    16
  322. Some might step down or state that they’re now Independent. Interesting times ahead!
    16
  323. Not right in the political sense - just right as in correct.
    16
  324.  @leeprice386  hm... no... This from UK Parliament website: "Royal Assent is the Monarch's agreement that is required to make a Bill into an Act of Parliament. While the Monarch has the right to refuse Royal Assent, nowadays this does not happen; the last such occasion was in 1708, and Royal Assent is regarded today as a formality."
    16
  325. If duress is used to introduce a new cultural convention, it’s usually referred to as tyranny.
    16
  326.  @jurassicthunder  insomuch as they post vacancies they've filled by internal moves or previously interviewed candidates; yes, and the law makers didn't see that coming... The biggest problem lies with employment agencies indulging in scraping i.e. posting vacancies stolen from company websites or, in fact, other employment agencies. As some employers offer financial incentives for agencies to interview staff for them (mostly temps), this can be a lucrative practice... underhand, but lucrative. Scraping also means a poor agency with few real jobs on its books can fool prospective candidates.
    16
  327. Labour councillors running cover-ups - Labour MPs pulling the teeth of inquiries - Labour-led DEI’d police force. Tories on back foot every single time (and too scared to be called out as ists or phobes).. Any other questions?
    16
  328. I do - and I'm English!
    16
  329. My bus journeys to and from work, which pass through two large council house estates, have proven interesting over the last five or so years. First, there were Romanians. Then persons of Arabian extraction. Recently, there’s been a massive increase in African nationals (some French speakers), but I’m starting to see Chinese entering the mix. Meanwhile, yes: I’m often the only white person on the bus.
    16
  330. That’ll hurt everyone here. Which could push the moment of action. Hm.
    16
  331. Like an ousted Democrat, Zalensky is desperate to ensure his source of personal income.
    16
  332. That’s because Narcissism is now a gender.
    16
  333. No, women did not want this. You’re scapegoating.
    16
  334. Honestly, if someone claiming to be police turned up at my door and told me absolutely nothing about an alleged incident, I’d refuse them entry to my property just in case, uniforms or not.
    16
  335. When an enemy informs you that he’s your enemy, believe him and act accordingly.
    16
  336. …and all those disgusted people saying: it can’t happen here! Then taking off the blinkers and looking around them…
    16
  337. Well, of course tax payers will have to work until they’re aged 71. Who else is going to financially support the millions of foreign nationals making future plans to travel to Britain in small boats?
    16
  338. The bunch McCarthy didn’t catch.
    16
  339.  @wolfu597  I'm sure Sir Starmer is already working on removing words and concepts from English in our homeland.
    16
  340. Be real: blame the politicians. Your country voted the Democrats into power but I’m pretty sure it didn’t vote for the gradual erosion of the First Amendment.
    16
  341. Sikh bus driver last Friday. Ordered a sub-Saharan “my phone’s flat so I can’t show you my pass” fare dodger off 😉
    15
  342. It isn’t Polish speakers I’m worried about.
    15
  343. Buy this man a drink, because he’s articulate, perspicacious and a f*ing genius.
    15
  344. There’s no way any of us Brits across the pond will survive a Harris administration. Our PM simply adores her.
    15
  345.  @IndelibleSin317 you think so? Uncle Screwtape gets ousted by Wormwood for failing to implement DEI? (Why yes, Latin jk)
    15
  346. Son bought Lurpak recently and couldn’t grasp why I was unhappy about it. He won’t be buying that butter again.
    15
  347. So, it’ll be men vs men and men vs men identifying as women?
    15
  348. More than 20,000 young men have crossed the Channel so far this year!
    15
  349. Lammy is rubbing his hands in glee. He’s hoping to fill his pockets.
    15
  350. Isn’t it odd that the only small boats encountering problems have pregnant women and children aboard?
    15
  351. Please - psyops are usually identified by conspiracy theorists, denied by the perpetrators, then revealed as true years later. On the other hand, jokes are instantly appreciable.
    15
  352. You mean, like: it's illegal to be Donald Trump?
    15
  353. First Past the Post has had its day.
    15
  354. It’s far more vindictive than you might realise. Affected year 11 pupils may get a place at a local school/college which runs a different curriculum, so may not be willing to risk entering them for 2025 exams. Then, if parents provide home education until the exam season, they’ll need to find an accredited exam centre which is, I understand, a bit of a peradventure, and pay full whack for the privilege.
    15
  355.  @DataMineNo69  it’s not feminism, trust me... it’s virtue signalling on a poser’s scale. Look, they’re even f’ing over our great heroines to prep the way for every art to be diversely led by impossibly non-binary Narcissists who are born perfect, able to do everything without trying and never make mistakes. Kinda like the images on Russian propaganda posters back a hundred years ago.
    15
  356. Trying to recreate Babel.
    15
  357. I live in England and experience climate change on a regular basis, sometimes multiple times a day. Like many of my fellow natives, I carry a rolled-up umbrella at all times.
    15
  358. And moving in gangs.
    15
  359. Labour is living in the past. They’re actual dinosaurs. GRONK!
    15
  360. @Feyser1970 I’m British and even we know she/him/it/they/etc hasn’t shown solidarity with Kamala who, incidentally, hasn’t shaved her head either.
    15
  361. Special call out to the Celts who were experts of head-taking and preservation.
    15
  362. Ah, the standardised test... Some years ago, one of my sons was stuck on an online biology test; two of the questions were nonsensical and others grammatically incorrect. I tried to help and noticed that, of the ten questions, two returned patently wrong answers. My son explained that he was frustrated by having to give a wrong or approved answer to get the required pass mark - and not just in biology. This is how institutionalised learning spreads falsehood and misinformation. I doubt very few parents spotted the problems I did, because they’d been schooled the same way. For the record, I’m now 60 and received a Grammar School education, earned by passing the old-style 11 Plus. When they took that system away, they didn’t do it because we were elitist snobs, but because that system taught its pupils to think for themselves.
    15
  363. Labour’s longterm heat pump policy which kicked in on 1st January 2025, has now been reversed (or suspended?). Can’t imagine why 🙄
    15
  364. @jimjones-bk2is are you giving up posting the same irrelevant message everywhere?
    15
  365.  @FiveLiver  he wants to be Our Beloved Leader - unless he bows to Blair.
    15
  366. Rich family.
    15
  367. Those of us living in the Midlands would, I think, agree with you.
    15
  368. “Irregulars” as in an army behind enemy lines engaging in sabotage, acts of calculated violence meant to instil fear in a community, and generally disrupting society as a whole.
    15
  369. ⁠ @Awsimilate ​​⁠​⁠a workmate of mine was traumatised by her father’s death. The hospital doctor refused pain meds on the grounds that they only offered brief relief, and so her father screamed for two days, clutching his wife’s hand while she begged for something - anything - to ease his agony. It was, my colleague said, a relief when he collapsed into a coma and slipped away a day later. I’ve stood beside five deathbeds now; until you’ve stood beside just one you’ll never understand.
    15
  370. Some of the best villains are heroes in their own way. Davros realised the eventual genetic monsters the Kaleds would become and made them travel machines in order to out-survive the Thals. In the end, he saved his people.
    15
  371. Please: in Great Britain, owning a gun was a privilege not a right. The public did NOT have their guns taken away after Dunblane, because they had none! To this day, we have rigorous checks in place before a gun licence is issued. Usually, farmers and gamekeepers still have the guns they need to manage estates. This fiction must stop, as must the fiction that the king has power to dissolve parliament.
    15
  372. I find it most alarming that so many people seem willing - nay, excited - to embrace the idea of so-called “A.I.” art and writing. All it takes is gradual reprogramming to produce just one approved narrative, which I understand can already be seen in chatGPT. Shared art and literature (alongside verbal storytelling) underpin all cultures and societies, and you can add music to that, too. Imagine what the Nazi party could’ve done with “A.I.”!
    14
  373. He’s going to have a meltdown, isn’t he? I’ve already got popcorn in.
    14
  374. Er… Cleopatra’s life story ‘resonates with every woman’. Personally, I’ve never murdered family members, fought back from exile, avoided assassination attempts, seduced a Caesar or married a Roman general for political reasons. I’ve never felt the urge to commit suicide to avoid the humiliation of being paraded on the streets in chains by a guy named Octavian who also killed Caesar’s son for political reasons. Lady was awesome, very intelligent and spoke several languages, but no: her life story does not resonate with me.
    14
  375. Those screaming the loudest are the really, really stupid guilty ones. Watch out for the ones slipping quietly away…
    14
  376. Is the French immigrant population mainly male? It’s certainly the case in the UK.
    14
  377.  @LukeLovesRose  yeah, I hate it when my friends get all those Utilities on the board AND then take the train stations.
    14
  378. Some parts of the US have been doing this for years.
    14
  379. Germany has just reduced the penalty for owning chld pooor-n. Allegedly, this has made a play-doh-file activist group very happy. Is Germany employing Uncle Screwtape as a consultant?
    14
  380. Worth knowing. Thanks.
    14
  381. Which sends a message to the whole nation, neh?
    14
  382. Conan escaped the clutches of evil demons once more. Phew!
    14
  383. At 12, I was scrumping, riding my bike and playing football with the boys. Glad that was the early 1970s.
    14
  384. That’s one amazing… modern Art Deco building? It’s not ugly, but it is challenging. Restoring the old bank is definitely a win, and the apartments are well-designed (if typically pricey). On the downside, it must act as a huge gnomon, its shadow sweeping over the local area during the day, and it’s completely at odds with the neighbourhood. I dread to think what would happen if there was a fire…
    14
  385. Me, neither. Even when the painkillers wore off after the Caesarean.
    14
  386. I’d like to invite the climate change activists to the top of an active volcano so they can harangue it about the damage it’s causing to the environment.
    14
  387. Labour knows its days in power are numbered, so they’re making the most of the time they have to cause as much damage as possible.
    14
  388. Self development is too much like hard work for people who’d rather sit around and wait to be given everything they think they deserve.
    14
  389. The original story has a Christian message so it’s obviously easy to replace that with The Message.
    14
  390. And for solar and wind farms. They’re trying to take 93 acres of prime farmland near where I live for just these useless appurtenances.
    14
  391. Why? Ruth Ellis. Whether or not you agree with the verdict, her case was weaponised by the chattering classes. A Labour MP brought in a private member’s bill to end the death penalty for murder, and parliament dutifully voted for it, the law taking effect in 1969 (1973 in Ireland?). The Human Rights Act of 1998 outright banned the death penalty for any and all crimes, and the ECHR precludes it being re-established in member countries.
    14
  392. Where is Klaus by the way? He went on holiday or stepped back due to health problems… Whatever, he’s probably ensconced in his personal bunker with his white Persian cat.
    14
  393. Let me introduce you to organic chemistry, where cis "this side of" and trans "the other side of" explain the atomic layout of a particular molecule.
    14
  394. Ah, no. There are apostate Muslims. They’re the ones on the same “remove by any means” list as anyone XP.
    14
  395. Wow, I guess molesters misread that memo.
    14
  396. Tidy up, your misogyny is showing.
    14
  397. Have you read much British history? When the powers that be don’t care, the people have a tendency to care A LOT.
    14
  398. Tower falling - metal and bricks and fire crashing down - and one blackguard Elf stands there calculating the trajectory of every piece? The writers' grasp of physics is about the same as their grasp of time, plot, conversation, military strategy and bladed weapon skills.
    14
  399.  @bob1986  and it still is one of the best.
    14
  400.  @billy-the-butcher  alibi needed...
    14
  401. Isn’t it rather strange how some people seem to rise to a top job in which they can cover the transgressions they committed to get there?
    14
  402. The ECHR: a stumbling block on our constitution. Except for Labour who are heckbent on breaking both UK laws and the ECHR!
    14
  403. Yep, hypocrites. I guess there’s no niche for them in religion these days.
    14
  404. That’s one Dark Tetrad monster there. It’s all about power and control with added sadism.
    14
  405. Megalomania. I wonder if Starmer is going to try again? He’ll get the UK into serious political problems, caught between Russia, the US, and the EU.
    14
  406. Basically, Woke and CRT apply with a side of misogyny for native British women.
    14
  407. At least my minimum wage will go up in line lols. But I travel to/from work by 4 buses a day, so I’m losing out there.
    13
  408. Reform convinced me to join by calling for a return to common sense. I’m so tired of a country run by the Foles (Fools) of Gotham.
    13
  409. Surely your system pays directly to bank accounts now? Cheques are a bit old time… oh, wait…
    13
  410. Where I live, there’s a couple of no-go areas for anyone not of a particular ethnic origin. Our local council says this is A Good Thing as these areas are preserving specific cultural heritages, so we should all be respectful and grateful for their input to our society.
    13
  411. It's a Marcusian thing: ugly art, ugly people, ugly thoughts, ugly acts... these will create a free state where everyone is free...
    13
  412. I agree… Removed from holding a public position and his title, so he can’t slither into the Lords.
    13
  413. Don't worry! All those new voters who don't understand English and have no idea who the candidates are will receive help with their postal votes - like giving the ballot paper to a helpful 3rd party or taking advice which box on which line to tick.
    13
  414. @trevorclark4108 oh, that’s so cruel! Think of the puffins and gannets! How about we house the incomers on old oil rigs, given that we’re not going to be needing them thanks to solar and wind farms [sarcasm].
    13
  415. Next up: all the women are outed from STEM for trans-women to get the places.
    13
  416. @11nica5 I’m old - you can ignore me, right? - but I saw the effects of polio. A school friend was left deaf and partially-disabled by measles (she was lucky not to have died). Chickenpox can blind. My niece lost an unborn child to rubella…. My aunt died age 13 from a chest infection. That was in the early 1920s. No antibiotics were available until the 1930s. Honestly, you have no idea.
    13
  417. He ought to be careful his ego doesn’t trip him up.
    13
  418. I’ve recently heard from someone who’s been accused of causing a major RTC in Yorkshire while the car was parked at work a hundred miles away. He’s guilty until he can prove his innocence. Now, extrapolate that…
    13
  419. New crops, unburdened by what has bean.
    13
  420. King Charles III can’t. He’s a figurehead not an absolute monarch.
    13
  421. Slice of bread, one egg, spot of milk, and a touch of salt and pepper with a scatter of grated cheese added towards the end of frying in butter. I’m not very keen on sweet French Toast, though. Fancy bread pudding, imo 🤔
    13
  422. Nah, the police have remanded the knife.
    13
  423. Onward, Christian soldiers!
    13
  424. Ah, someone’s scared of the DW! Leftie, by any chance?
    13
  425. My mother always added flour and water dumplings. Hello from the UK!
    13
  426. The term is “hoist by your own petard”.
    13
  427. Voter apathy due to there being two major parties which are indistinguishable from each other. Also: more than a few of us suspect something isn’t quite right with the last election.
    13
  428. That’s the transhumanists’ sci-fi perfect future. Mind, it’s about weeding out those deemed chaff so the few can attain robo or virtual immortality. We’ve all watched the original Star Trek and know how that ends!
    13
  429. Let me get this straight… The elves are going to die unless they wear mithril garments/armour. This means that it’s the elves fault that the dwarfs must mine mithril for them, as a consequence of which the dwarfs encounter Durin’s Bane. Er… right…
    13
  430. No need with training: they’re an army all ready to go.
    13
  431. …and short.
    13
  432. The campaign against hurty words, especially as promoted by one Humza Yousaf, is more suspicious than we even guessed.
    13
  433. Our PM has a huge ego, lacks remorse, has no empathy, shows little emotional response (unless he feels he’s being criticised), is deceitful, makes reckless decisions which could negatively affect the country, and is manipulative. Those are the classic traits of a Psychopath. But I’m not a psychologist, I just read books written by psychologists, so what do I know?
    13
  434. They waited 17 hours for the speed to wear off, then?
    13
  435. Just wait until Soylent Green and cricket burgers appear inside a triangle shape!
    13
  436. ⁠ @michaelnelson1270 hello! Can I join your imperial guard? I self-identify as a Cybertronian attack helicopter and my pronouns are “whirl” and “we kill Decepticons”.
    13
  437. The problem starts at the very top, where a few individuals decide an ideological policy which they proceed to enforce by threats of disciplinary action. Comply or suffer the consequences. It’s toxic management, simple as. And it’s not confined to the civil service.
    13
  438. Special act of parliament brought in to ensure that. Talk about corruption.
    13
  439. I’m still behind the theory that a writer or writing team come up with a generic idea for a show and produce a generic script written in red crayon to pass to a studio. Said studio squints at the idea and someone says: hey, this is a bit like (fill in the IP)! The studio buys the IP title and has the script updated with the appropriate place and character names. Then, down the line, both writers and studio start repeating this ‘canon is so restrictive’ because the show was never intended to be part of that or, indeed, any IP. And then the disingenuous bar studs get to call the genuine fandom ‘toxic istaphobes’. Rinse and repeat.
    13
  440. …their technology is light years ahead of ours, but WE HAVE IT BWAH-HAH-HAH-etc. So, maybe they’ve really got Megatron under the Hoover Dam? Yeah, the point is to project an aura of fear which controls your own people and scares off enemies who claim they have Overlord and Trypticon under their dams.
    13
  441. Ironically, motherhood can mean a woman being either denigrated or elevated, depending on circumstances e.g. unmarried teen vs married lady staying at home to raise her children while the husband provides. Funny old world, isn’t it?
    12
  442. It’s cold comfort but, when we’re gone and the free money with us, the locusts will have to fight each other to survive.
    12
  443. When he runs, it’s curtains for us.
    12
  444.  @stoned_kakapo8736 you won’t see the majority of the homeless, only the worst off, many of whom do indeed have mental health/educational needs issues and would have, not too long ago, received supported accommodation or hospitalisation. PS: chucking the mentally ill and the ESNs out into the world without backup wasn’t humanitarian but cruel af. I guess a lot of politicians have never bothered to find out the devastating consequences of their vote.
    12
  445. I put it down to targets, as BBB highlights. One of my employers dropped core work in order to pander to trendy new management targets. Said new managers quickly springboarded to better jobs based on their “achievements” while everyone else cleared up the mess.
    12
  446. And they obviously have guns…
    12
  447. I think you’ll find NYC facing the London problem - the “incomers” outnumber the “home crowd” at the polling booth.
    12
  448. And we have a winner!
    12
  449.  @stringer-ik1pc  8 years ago, before he grew up and grew a pair.
    12
  450. I wouldn’t offer. I’d tell the Free Palestine protestors that I was so impressed by their zeal that I’ve transport ready for them to go fight the good fight on the ground. I’d tell them they’re stunning and brave as I waved them goodbye. After all, a lot of non-Spanish went to fight in the Spanish Civil War as they passionately believed in the political stance of the side they supported.
    12
  451. Selecting individuals who aren’t physically intimidating in order to “prove” to the rest of us that we could be next. Now, where in history books did I read about this technique…
    12
  452. Correct! Feminism is about equality as regards the law, inheritance, the vote, and equal pay for equal work. It is all about the protection of women and children from exploitation and abuse, particularly sexual abuse. Please stop parroting the ages-old lies which were developed by Victorian men who didn’t like their social prerogatives challenged. (Freud was forced to retract his original study of the outcome of the sexual abuse of girls by men, especially their close male family members. I wonder why?)
    12
  453. I’ve said the midden will hit the windmill by Christmas.
    12
  454. Think about it… they need to monitor a lot of information in order to watch for threats to our people. I’m pretty sure GCHQ will be thrilled to get taken over by a so-called AI that treats everyday conversations as works of the Labour government’s enemies.
    12
  455. It’s a standard manipulation tactic. You’re supposed (rightly) to feel concern. Result: the women get settled and then the men of the family arrive legally en masse.
    12
  456. ⁠​⁠ @khatzeye lovey, I’m white and speak Queen’s (heh: King’s) English. This means, to some in my home city, that I’m too posh. I can talk the local argot but certainly wouldn’t in social situations. My children were pulled up at school for “not talking like what the rest of us does”. I’ll bet it happens in pretty much every country of the world.
    12
  457. Now we wait (from the UK here) to see if they go after DeSantis...
    12
  458. Oligarchy.
    12
  459. Amazon wants those sweet dimes and dollars/pennies and pounds of commission, the hypocrites.
    12
  460. I'd dispute that; there's an absolute ton of beautiful. terrifying and philosophical fantasy works out there, in many languages and spanning well over 1,000 years. The lazy tendency is to just reach for and blame Tolkien when newer writers lack imagination and storytelling skills.
    12
  461. Of course they will; they lived through WWII and almost two decades of austerity. The Boomers, too, aren’t exactly a pushover.
    12
  462. Don’t be so fatalistic - that’s how some other peoples sat down and accepted their new normal.
    12
  463. I dispute the premise; the dinosaurs yet survive in the niche environment of the UK Labour Party.
    12
  464.  @alecfoster5542  but without the redemption bit at the end....
    12
  465. I’m sure Niccolò Machiavelli would approve of whoever is Sir Starmer’s speech writer. The British lion is being quite satisfactorily prodded awake.
    12
  466. The Little Mermaid, born of the sea foam, wanted a soul so that she could reach heaven when her 300 years were up. This live-action remake is spot on in that respect: it’s soulless.
    12
  467. Rue has a massive amount of folklore attached to it. It’ll keep snakes and cats from your garden, and can enliven love philtres. In Medieval times, it was sometimes used as an aspergillum to scatter holy water on a congregation, because it’s also known as ‘the herb of grace’, although witches were said to use a sprig to identify each other in public. I hope you don’t come to regret growing it!
    12
  468. FFS, the RNLI is a charity dedicated to rescue at sea. It doesn’t matter who’s in trouble, the volunteers turn out. Should be calling for the Navy to patrol the Channel!
    12
  469. Overwhelm the system: win.
    12
  470. "O Lorien! Too long have I dwelt upon this Hither Shore/And in a fading crown have twined the golden elanor..." Yup, Sam's daughter was the first to be named Elanor. I suggest ragwort, thistle and goosegrass might be good names for these impossible Hobb... Harfoots, in keeping with their hairstyles.
    12
  471. The Browning poem is my favourite version. That refers to the children being lured off or captured (trammeled) to live in Transylvania.
    12
  472. The pigeons and chess analogy is widely quoted in Britain. Over here, it’s still completely legal to insult a total idiot - the problems start when self-appointed snowflakes overhear and use it to justify their prejudice… sorry… sorry… social awareness.
    12
  473. Buy more popcorn. This is going to get interesting. I’ve never watched politicians with business sense take on career politicians who have no idea about reality
    12
  474. Beg pardon: transsexuals are not the same as transgenders. The former are old school, work to pass as the opposite sex, and don’t waltz around in drag.
    12
  475. It’s alleged that over 300 languages other than English are being spoken in London’s schools alone. Interesting, hm?
    12
  476.  @ianjordan8121  so what is your theory?
    12
  477. In the 1990s, I met a beautiful young woman - willowy, naturally blond, softly spoken, elegant - who had been born male. She wore no make-up, high heels or OTT clothing, and had no defining male characteristics, like an Adam’s Apple. Sadly, she was hounded to suicide by a few of the local extremist gays because she ‘came out’ as a straight woman. And, yes, she used the ladies’ loos rather than the men’s, with no woman feeling the need to complain. This is why I reject the current faddy/fetishistic trans ideology: it’s disrespectful to true intersex individuals - and to women.
    12
  478. They do. Look! They’re using their freedom here to heckle the only adult in the room!
    12
  479. Well done! It’s what happening in major UK and European cities.
    12
  480. Not seen the trailer for Lady Ballers then?
    12
  481. Yes, the concept of the alchemical marriage; the physical male with the spiritual female. I guess the people of Amazon don’t understand much - if anything - of the anthropological, philosophical or religious arguments underlying the basic storyline. And they call us trolls.
    12
  482. I like Mrs Thatcher, especially as Starmer rushed to take her portrait down because she scared him.
    12
  483. Don’t be logical! If RoP characters can face down a pyroclastic flow, ain’t no arrow going to hurt the ones here.
    12
  484. Thank you: from 🇬🇧
    12
  485. Funny you should say that, given it's about 50 years since PC (political correctness) made its first sally against logic and commonsense.
    12
  486. The BBC isn't far behind, trust me...
    12
  487. Because it was covered up - hidden - dismissed as fantasy - labelled racist - silenced.
    11
  488. Ah, Bombur is larger than any Obessidor. Not taller, mind, just larger...
    11
  489. Targets. Wonder who’s been setting them 🤔
    11
  490. Hey, there are female nerds out here!

  491. In the late 1980s, I met a dedicated vegan. He was nothing like this; he was too tired and ill to harangue anyone. I lost track of him after his last hospital stay for suspected anorexia.

  494. The details of the two World Wars never interested me as much as the tribulations on the Home Front. My Grandma and Dad lived through both; my mother through the second. A short series on Home Front cookery? Yes, please!
    11
  495. There’s unpopular and then there’s hated. Huge difference.
    11
  496. @rocky76dude7 so, you’re scapegoating the Tories for Labour’s current failures?
    11
  497.  @Henchman_Holding_Wrench  I think someone should start a study on that…

  499. Defamation and wrongful imprisonment? Darn well, yes.

  500. The orders come from Mr Khan. Don’t confuse the issue by blaming invisible civil servants!

  501. The petition is still being signed. The GG scandal has given it a boost.
    11
  502. We must thank Sir S for quite openly rushing Britain to the same breaking point that every other Western country recently reached 😈
    11
  503. Reform has promised to open an investigation by the end of January. Let’s see how Starmer handles that.

  505. Neom is going to be a dystopian place if it’s ever completed.
    11
  506. It’s winter, but the polar ice is melting!!! Save the polar bears!!! A Green - very green, might I add - campaigner threw that challenge at me during one freezing January some ten years or more ago. I politely asked which pole, and she replied: south! Poor girl was very confused when I advised her that it was summer in the southern hemisphere, and that there are no polar bears in the Antarctic.
    11
  507. That’s a valid point. How much of the fuel’s carcinogens get into the salt during the process?
    11
  508.  @DrStench13  you'd think but, in the UK, these agencies get traffic because DWP forces job seekers to trawl them.
    11
  509. Excuse me? A golden goodbye aka handshake? Those payments are only ever paid out to themselves by the very top tier of any industry.

  513. That’d be colonial oppression! That’s an -ism right there! Off to the Politically Correct/Woke gulag!

  514. But we are involved in the Middle East war q.v. the people protesting on our streets.

  515. As of this comment 3,014,224 signatures on the petition calling for a general election. It was quiet until the gg scandal broke.

  516.  @Anna_M70 no, only house-cats use litter trays/boxes. Feral cats tend to ‘go’ in certain parts of their territory.

  517. Don’t go there… If there’s more people but fewer jobs, it’ll not end well.
    11
  518. Hate to put it this way but: ‘The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.' [Margaret Thatcher] Looks like McCarthy was right all along.
    11
  519. Interesting, isn’t it? What’s being hidden there?
    11
  520. Can you prove that Muslim money is bankrolling Reform? Or perhaps you’ve forgotten that Lord Ali is bankrolling Labour?
    11
  521.  @MrSeedi76 totalitarianism represses critical thinking and criticism of the system. Look around you - there’s even critical thinkers in Generation Z. We’re not beaten yet.

  522. But did you fill out a DEAD1 form in advance asking permission to cease work ahead of the agreed day, date and time?

  523. @TedJM we have not been disarmed. Just pop down your shed, into your kitchen, or find your toolbox.

  524. @tims9434 it’s a Leftwing thing. If you’d like to do a bit of research, start with “sexologist”.
    11
  525.  @Ohwhale79  I’m proud of you - you’ve scarred your daughter mentally for life 😂 I told my sons that spinach was puréed frog; they were disappointed to learn the truth later. The story about squashing bulls to make stock cubes worried them for years 😁
    11
  526. Kudos to Whoopi Goldberg for her perfect use of word-salad and various facets of gaslighting, including misdirection and shaming. Amazon couldn't even manage that...
    11
  527. They are taking it seriously. Starmer may be implicated, along with other senior politicos who have knowingly sided with the darker side of multiculturalism.
    11
  528. Were you annoyed? Angry? Naturally, you contained your emotion because you’re a good person, and so only grumble about the intersectional criminality you witnessed. There are millions of individuals in the West who feel exactly the same, and they’re all coming to the same boiling point at the same time. Isn’t that strange?
    11
  529. At 2am!
    11
  530. To the critics: you represented those of us who couldn’t get there for various reasons like lack of funds, needing to be in work, childcare, caring for the sick/elderly… We could only be with you in spirit. Thank you.
    11
  531. Well, it’s claim victory or admit you’ve been made to look a fool.
    11
  532. I ditched FaceBook when I realised I was forcing myself to look at it, because I was living a 'real life'. That and the algorthims decided my indentity as a middle-aged woman which did not match me at all.
    11
  533.  @MCAVideos6886  like any grandiose Narcissist, they are no doubt trying to find some way to gaslight the Americans who opposed their stupidity.
    11
  534. Benefits.
    11
  535. In the end, Labour will remove him… then he’ll slip into Lords. So…
    11
  536. This is what Starmer wants, so he can declare a state of emergency and allocate himself and his buddies some rather authoritarian powers.
    11
  537. In 1972, a friend who studied German taught me the word dummkopf. Does this mean both she and I will soon be receiving 4am calls from German authorities at the behest of Labour?
    11
  538. I'm hoping that normies, younger ones especially, will watch this show and then go read the books. Many may fall by the wayside, but some will join our Fellowship and reject Amazon and all their Wokes.
    11
  539. My artist son lost the £30 a sponsor paid him for a little commission when PayPal suddenly decided that particular transaction, just one among many, was probably suspicious. I’m sure he’d love $2500 in compensation!
    11
  540. I often out-competed the boys back when I was 10. Not at high-jump or running anything other than a sprint, though… Go forward as little as four years, and teen boys thrashed me at every field sport except javelin, technique triumphing over raw strength until, within another year or so, it didn’t. It’s fine for little boys and girls to play sport together, but once testosterone kicks in, the boys definitely have a physical advantage that will continue until their old age. Most importantly, growing into that extra strength can sometimes be difficult for a young man and he may unintentionally hurt a girl, which is a very important reason for the sexes (there are only two) to be kept apart in sport, most especially contact sports.
    11
  541. I think you’ll find there’s a massive difference been the Windrush generation and those who arrived because multiculturalism!
    11
  542. The Purple Man systematically abused young women, as I recall. His daughter struggled to come to terms with his crimes AND he tried to abuse her.
    11
  543. To a MORE dangerous prison.
    11
  544.  @petriew2018  oh, he just tells me that I know he won't love it and stop bullying him. Only works one way. (I won't be inviting him to the upcoming CGI Transformers movie, anyway, because I want to nerd out in comfort.)
    11
  545. And there's Cullen voice lines? Worth every penny... if I wasn't skint...
    11
  546. We pay the BBC through our taxes, too, though.
    11
  547. This should be implemented everywhere. No more DEI teams and no more people waiting for phones to stop ringing.
    11
  548. You know, for the longest time, I thought USAID was read as U-SAID. The idea of aid never crossed my mind.
    11
  549. At this point, I really believe GaLADriel is Sauron in disguise.
    10
  550. @andrewgarner2224 classic abuser rhetoric. It used to be a go-to for all grapers, and cases of this kind prove that we in Britain still have a lot of men willing to help out a fellow abuser.
    10
  551. Here we go! Grab popcorn!
    10
  552. I get the impression that those driving this from the top down are extremely fond of white Persian cats.
    10
  553. Possibly correct. However, we Brits have a bit of a reputation for expressing our dissatisfaction with the people in Westminster.
    10
  554. He can let go. He’s hoping to trouser a huge backhander from the Caribbean ploy.
    10
  555.  @Iffy350  the writers probably think that The Flood is caused by heavy rain...
    10
  556. The cackles. The crackles are far more disturbing 😳
    10
  557.  RedDot  hello, infestation bot. Go away now.
    10
  558. Depends on the type of knife, I guess.
    10
  559. The idea behind this is : idolise and emulate. Luckily, people are more awake now… I hope.
    10
  560. Update: that hole in the ozone layer was recently reported to be almost closed. A thing to be celebrated, you’d think. But, in true Deep Thought manner, there’s now arguments that the earth will suffer if the hole closes, leading to faster global warming.
    10
  561. It’s just acupuncture, friend!
    10
  562. Well, considering that the red and white outfit was a Coca Cola marketing ploy... By the way: don’t eat the yellow snow.
    10
  563. Desperate asylum seekers living in poverty in state-funded accommodation can find the dosh to pop back “home” for holidays or big family events, but I can’t afford a day trip to the seaside.
    10
  564. I think some target or other was missed and, as we all know, someone has to take the blame. Also, people have to realise that babies die when specialist medical services can’t help them.
    10
  565. My husband tells me that I should not complain because RoP looks interesting and, being an adaptation of something that Tolkien wrote, I am sure to love it if I'd just watch the series and give the writers a chance. He says that I might see the books in a whole new light. For the record - just to be clear - my husband is still alive.
    10
  566.  @melschevelle  it’s masculinity being toxic, too!
    10
  567. I keep hearing that old refrain: anything you can do, I can do better… because I identify as a woman.
    10
  568. Helen is avoiding use of the term coercive control in regard to transgender ideology. Coercive control is a recognised set of behaviours that, in the UK, can put a DV abuser in gaol.
    10
  569. Funny thing... Nearly 64, I have retained my hair colour (crushed rat, darling) and developed a few laughter lines, but everyone around me is grey, bald or wrinkly, or some combination thereof. Can't think why 🤣
    10
  570.  @luciusknight9946  I’ve proposed that! As proof, I present the tree struck with corruption, leaving men to die, making demands and expecting obedience, and playing silly buggers with those poor Numenorean recruits.
    10
  571. Transsexuals - yes. Transgender - no.
    10
  572. That was never the intention. This is a long, long game playing out.
    10
  573. Revelations in action. Although John the Elder writes that blood was poured upon the seas whereas Enoch Powell talked about the streets.
    10
  574. I’d dispute ‘depressed’. Eowyn was filled with despair and Aragorn represented the hope she’d lost (you know, because he’s called Estel?), so fixated her love on him. When she thought that hope lost, she went to die in the only way she saw as honourable, on the battlefield. Eowyn is a classic Anglo-Saxon heroine.
    10
  575. May I quote Keats? “Beauty is truth, truth beauty. That is all ye know on Earth, and all ye need to know.” Therefore, the answer is obvious.
    10
  576. Please uncover the hidden racism of glue. The colour bias of glue should be explored since even little children can get their hands on it. But grabbing a glue stick is in no way a gesture of supremecy... or is it?
    10
  577. Pensioners can be squeezed to sell their homes, releasing housing stock for illegal male migrants. This will put pressure on the availability of flats to buy or rent, so prices and rents will be pushed upwards, resulting in increased instances of homelessness.
    10
  578. Sheep, particularly rams, can kill, and they eat corpses, you know.
    10
  579. Do we have any water cannon or tear gas?
    10
  580. I’m assuming Sir S will be discontinuing the Blue Badge scheme soon. That’ll stop the cheats!
    10
  581. The Daily Wire, via that well known social agitator Matt Walsh, exposed this scandal. The Vanderbilt deserves the JP treatment.
    10
  582.  @quidproquo3933  on the contrary, only a small number of voters voted for Labour. Yeah, something kinda stinks...
    10
  583. “We put all our politicians in prison as soon as they’re elected. Don’t you?” “Why?” “It saves time.” - Sir Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent.
    10
  584. They're recasting Adar? Because the actor made him a memorable and even sympathetic character? Or because he decided to walk away from the abomination of season two? PS: I'd be happy to step up the action and ditch the feelings, but I'm not stepping into any wholly female writing room.
    10
  585. That’s the same demand being made by the Alphabet People. Perhaps we should bring these two groups together in order for them to debate who is the biggest victim?
    10
  586. When I first encountered ash and thorn, I cheekily asked a rather stuck-up OE tutor where the oak was… That didn’t go down too well with him but he complained to my mentor who thought it hilarious.
    10
  587. By comparison, Blair was a little bit nasty, and Harold Wilson was a saint.
    10
  588. Who was the victim? Has no journo an exclusive interview with his family? Do we know his age, home address, preferred cereal..?
    10
  589. 50,000 people attended, about half of them press, according to another channel which debunks climate change claims and, for the first time ever, sent a small crew to investigate.
    10
  590.  @biscottigelato8574  as of right now, though, it’s certain minorities oppressing the majority.
    10
  591. Isn’t Sir Khan in Pakistan? He’s been giving interviews to Pakistani reporters and, allegedly, warning that the actions of the RW will have consequences.
    10
  592. I've heard the words 'money laundering' bandied about. Also 'tax-deductables'.
    10
  593. Agent orange.
    10
  594. “A Christmas Carol”? Correct! This is the latest drive to Reduce The Surplus Population.
    10
  595.  @Stonegoal precisely - because victimising the victims is protecting them.
    10
  596. He’s a lot worse than Wilson. A lot, lot worse.
    10
  597. Two men took credit for my work in order to get promotion, but I lost track of the number of women who did the same 🤷‍♀️
    10
  598. Oh, they intend to “fix it” in the worst possible way.
    10
  599. If she's wed to Durin VI, there may be some hope.
    10
  600. It’s impossible to reason with fools, Narcissists, Psychopaths and those with Machiavellian proclivities.
    10
  601. Ever hear of sarcasm, guys?
    10
  602. I’ve heard is said that misgendering someone will literally kill them. If that’s the case, the enemy doesn’t need to waste money on bullets.
    10
  603. NPD - Psychopathy - megalomania? Maybe he’ll get diagnosed in the near future.
    10
  604. That reminds me: I need to book an over 60s health review with my doctor. I’ll know if he’s being forced to ask my gender and pronouns because he’ll apologise profusely before doing so. But I know he’ll faithfully ignore my answers with a huge grin.
    10
  605. Educated people with a degree and a yearning for a beachfront property, a yacht and a private island.
    10
  606. He has other irons in the fire, too. The Chagos Islands, Caribbean reparations, net zero… Starmer is hoping for any place in history he can get.
    10
  607. My first RoP trailer was the Superfans. I thought I’d see other members of the Fellowship, scholars possibly, but instead I was treated to a whole bag of steaming wtf? I watched it all the way through, too horrified to look away in case the real world had imploded around me. That cured me of all hope I had for the series and, so, I’ve watched reviews like Drinker’s, but I wouldn’t touch RoP with a bargepole.
    10
  608. A lot of people won’t be able to pay stupid CT rises, so Councils will prosecute, impose fines, and take money direct from wages. Those in rented accommodation will be forced out; those who own their homes will have to sell, starting a house price collapse. Who does this benefit? Hm.
    10
  609. Those “sleepy farts” in the House of Lords have been challenging DEI, the trans agenda, immigration etc. But Labour has a leader trained in law and he’s trying every trick in the book, meaning the Lords can disapprove but have to agree.
    10
  610. Hey, we’ve got the same happening in the UK. But no Trump here… yet.
    10
  611. Over at least 25/26. That’s when the prefrontal cortex matures.
    10
  612. My reply has been removed by YT. It’s deliberate silencing.
    10
  613. Writers can’t decide if Galadriel is a warrior or a rogue…
    9
  614. Might I correct the original poster? We Brits don’t hate ourselves, we just have this incredible sense of self-aware gallows humour that’s not afraid to point out absurdities… and downright horrors. Humour holds up a plain mirror to the distortions of the real world. Every po-faced, agenda-driven ideologue wants to criminalise it because they know they’ll be the butt of some perspicacious, gentle, but bitter jokes q.v. Who Do You Think You Are Kidding, Mr. Starmer…
    9
  615. No, we haven’t. We still stand against the elitists.
    9
  616.  @lushingtonbrady9757  yes, Galadriel destroyed of Dol Guldur with Nenya, the Ring of Adamant. I rather suspect Tolkien saw her as a fit young lady taking part in games rather than warfare (and yes, I know that games arose as practice for warfare), so she was 'Amazonian' in the manner of many female athletes rather than encased in steel and waving a sword.
    9
  617. This handsome man knew he was meant to walk and, with all that love and care, he has done so. Absolutely brilliant!

  618. At last, someone has closed the Watford Gap 🤪🤣
    9
  619.  @matthewronsson  actually, Lord Dunsany’s ‘The King of Elfland’s Daughter’ that is still considered the finest fantasy novel of all time. I’m an English Lit & Lang graduate with interest in the Old and Middle English periods so, for me, Tolkien is far, far more than merely a fantasy writer and LoTRs is more than a fantasy. I loathe RoP because - well - it’s shallower than a half-dried up puddle.

  620. They’ve got an uphill battle, and one false move will guarantee them th next cell along.

  622. Pfft! A million quid? Think about inflation. I’d like a trillion, please.

  623.  @RedRoseSeptember22 perhaps, but a whole food outlet probably charged top cinnamon price for cheap cassia.

  624. He’s a constitutional monarch and has no power to affect the politicians. He cannot dissolve parliament unless the PM petitions the Privy Council and that august body advises him to do so.
    9
  625. We all know the answer to that first question. It isn’t pretty and we can’t say it. Wat Tyler had some ideas.
    9
  626. He's just following standard political obfuscation protocol. It's fun when they go all over the shop then have to ask: what was your questions again?
    9
  627. I guess he studied Latin?

  628. Leave aside the fetishism, this is gaslighting on a monumental scale - it’s entitlement - it’s abusive thinking. And it’s only aimed one way…

  630. Nothing significant to vandalise - no art, no graves, no memorials to famous people...

  631. Hi, happybubble2301 - are you talking about Kleinfelter Syndrome? Gynecomastia (enlarged breast tissue) is not uncommon in Kleinfelter cases, who also have an increased risk of breast cancer (and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and lung cancer). There are a few 'reported' cases of men producing milk under stressful conditions, but it doesn't have the same composition as milk produced by females.
    9
  632. Diary products are good for our bodies. Ditto eggs. More than a little sugar, however… and don’t get me started on sugar replacements…

    9
  636. As their Chancellor of the Exchequer! Man’s got a brilliant financial mind.

  637. The bloke down the pub with his pint and smoke is the stereotypical working man whom Sir S, a Champagne Socialist of the Blair ilk, despises.
    9
  638. They daren’t do anything else, I guess. They’re on camera.
    9
  639. Immigration laws in the UK just seem to involve putting down the welcome mat. It’s not quite like that, but it doesn’t look that way for the natives who can’t even speak out without being arrested for hate speech.
    9
  640. And at the mercy of foreign countries from whom we must buy essential fuel.

  641.  @HerculesBallsInc  I worked with a diversity hire who, within a few months of starting, refused to do any work, boasting that she’d sue management for discrimination if they sacked her. Said management investigated her credentials and found that she had a history of short periods of employment and large compensation wins. They sacked her, of course, sending (so I understand) documentary proof of the investigation with her notice. Maybe that company should take a closer look at the man’s history, too…

  644. This is NOT a Conservative deal. It’s not even a uniparty deal. It’s a Starmer deal. Man wants to look important and get his name in history books.

  645. If transing away the gay is available, some families will happily force their children to change gender.
    9
  646. Maybe that was deliberate? Trying to keep the eejits’ hands off some of Marvel comics prime story arcs? Unfortunately, Secret Invasion wasn’t kept secret enough.
    9
  647. I guess it all depends on our personal value of each Doctorate submission. Which, in this particular case, is a big fat zero.
    9
  648. At his home? Hm. Wasn’t he living with his parents who have now, we’re told, been relocated to a safe house… I don’t think I’m going to need a tinfoil hat on this occasion.
    9
  649. Names are, I trust, being taken...

  650. Not the parents, but a social system that rewards victimhood and entitlement.

  651. Future trillionaires.

  652. @TheChrisheath7 after watching Raja Miah taking in Tousi TV last night, I got the impression that we’re looking at certain Labour councillors and their cronies in rather specific areas boasting multicultural voter demographics. Go find the interview. It’s an eye-opener. Mr Miah should be offered immediate protection and a blerdy medal.

  653. I avoid peppers and tomatoes but I can eat potato providing I limit the amount. Having a dietry intolerence to Nightshades, they really do 'poison' me!.

  656. It’s a more compact version of the CRT enforced by the US Democrats.
    9
  657. Funnily enough, those are actions espoused by abusive personalities.
    9
  658. Back in the late 1960s, Labour MPs stated that they’d destroy England (and Britain) for daring to have used a lot of pink ink when printing maps. They also wanted an end to the historic links between the UK and US. And so here we are with Starmer, the Fabian Society poodle… sorry…hero.

  664. Just last night, I attended a musical version of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, a quintessential British story, where the Pevenseys were played by children of African descent. This made the story somewhat problematic…

  668. There’s new laws coming in concerning property ownership and freehold. I think we’d better pay close attention to the fine print where it says: you’ll own nothing and be happy.

  671. Reform cannot be openly seen to support Tommy, a co-founder and leader of the defunct EDL. This is a dangerous time for society and politics right across the Western world. I’m sure some people don’t actually like Tommy for various reasons. I don’t; I also dislike Trump and Musk. But I’ve the common sense to know that all three of these men are going to be important in the days ahead.

  672. “What is a Communist? One who hath yearnings For the equal division of unequal earnings. Idler or bungler, or both, he is willing To fork out his penny and pocket your shilling.” - Ebenezar Elliott, b. 1781 d. 1849.

  673. Black History Month in UK education establishments focuses only on black slavery. I suggested my employer teach some actual African history, but had no response (guess I was lucky). Maybe next year I’ll ask them to do a piece on the Ottoman Empire invasions of Europe?

  680. Ebenezar Elliott (The Corn Law Rhymer) (1781-1849) had something to say about this: “What is a Communist? One who hath yearnings For equal division of unequal earnings, Idler or bungler, or both, he is willing, To fork out his copper and pocket your shilling.” Karl Marx published his little book in 1848…

  681. My son walks an elderly pitbull named Xeno. He’s huge, he’s blue, he can instantly bite a rubber toy in half… and he’s so cute and cuddly. My ex fled when he saw Xeno running towards me for a hug! No bad dogs unless someone has misused or hurt them, and even then many are so forgiving.

  697. The two biggest woman’s issues are menstruation and pregnancy. It can be excruciatingly embarrassing for girls and women to be seen in either state (even in medical facilities) by other women, let alone men. Leave aside embarrassment, we females are hyper aware of our vulnerability. But - facepalm - we now have men who, declaring they’re women, parade around claiming they’re having a period or are pregnant, and who may pose a threat, intentional or not, inside female only spaces.

  706. I would like to draw people’s attention to the fact that, in order to reduce the Surplus Population, Thomas Robert Malthus (in 1798) suggested letting disease run rampant untreated alongside other measures such as war and continually rising food costs. So, the most recent iteration of the anti-vaxxers might be a tad more sinister than you first imagined.

  710. Before WWII, Britain needed to import - I think it was - about a third of all food because farming could not produce sufficient for all. That’s why the Axis went after our shipping; to starve us out. The population is larger now, farmers are required to set aside more of their land to fight global warming, and the Liebour party wants to cover productive farmland in solar arrays. I hate to think how easy it’d be for our islands to be starved out these days.

  718. First “arranged marriage” I encountered was back in 1977. The druggie brother of a good friend, whose family originated in what is today called The Arab Emirates, told her that they were going to Pakistan because he’d arranged for her to marry his dealer. I offered her sanctuary and support to go to the police, but she was terrified that’d get my family murdered along with her own. Upshot was: she mysteriously drowned in a local canal, and he fled to Pakistan, never to be seen or heard of again. Her parents were devastated. At that time, we were both aged 16.

  728. Sorry but, looking at your student loan situation from outside the US, why do you think that every young student is a lazy socialist racking up debt to pay for parties while taking a degree in gender studies? Why aren’t you asking why courses and student living costs so much? Or asking who sets the prices and who is actually behind - and gains from - the student loan system? Whose pocket will be lined by the ‘forgiven’ sum? Where, as you might put it, is the beef? I’m not denigrating those who’ve paid for their education through years of work; I’m just asking you to maybe consider you’re being misdirected. And I’m also betting that course fees are going to go up a significant amount shortly.

  730. I still have an Reckitts Blue Bag which my grandma (born 1884) left unused in the pantry back in the 1960s. She used isinglass, too, and insisted on hand washing rather than use the machine my dad, her son, bought. Hello from the UK!

  734. I was a teenager when the vanguard of Political Correctness was first challenged. Its proponents wanted complete equality of the sexes, where there was no distinction between males and females; all very Maoist, or perhaps a direct attack on the Women’s Rights movement; it was very much a Leftwhinge toy. PC was gradually forced underground during Margaret Thatcher’s tenure as PM, and long plotted a comeback. And here we are today, post-Blair, with Wokeism in full swing, and woe betide any who object to its patent gaslighting.

  742. Just a point from the UK: even ID won’t stop people getting postal votes, the paperwork then being passed to a head honcho who kindly helps decide who is being voted for, or the proper voter is told, in advance, which box the mark goes in. Apparently, this is meant to support those entitled to vote who can’t read the voting slip.

  749. I laughed when the “tv licence for watching Netflix” was tossed into the ring. The company is owned by investors, primarily the Vanguard Group and BlackRock. I rather suspect that someone noted that Netflix doesn’t pay VAT on its UK services…

  757. At age 7, I was taught about puppies and kittens. The film then explained that human babies were born the same way. The best bit was when one boy fainted and two others were sick. I had an idea that two members of the same sex couldn’t have babies, but no one said anything else.

  766. Someone of that age doesn’t need a license - if they receive Pension Credit. And that’s the rub on’t. Anyone who’s worked hard, paid National Insurance, and perhaps contributed to a private pension scheme (remember, everyone is supposed to have an approved government one!), won’t get Pension Credit. Extrapolate that: I’m sure you can figure out who, in addition to the longterm sick, disabled, carers, and stay-at-home mothers, receives a free tv licence.
    8
  767. Because 13 to 19 year olds, in compulsory education, need full time jobs! Btw, there are fewer apprenticeships around, and more than a few aged 16 - 25 are currently NEET because they lost their jobs after Labour announced the NI changes.

  770.  @stephenrice2063  after 300 years, mermaids return to the sea foam from whence they came. The Little Mermaid, having heard about heaven, longed to go there but, having no soul, could not. It’s a Christian story reframing a bit of old folklore.

  774. That is a primary methodology of abusive entitlement. No matter what you say, do, or think - even if willing to accommodate the abuser - you’ll always be wrong. Narcissists, in particular, use this stratagem to claim they’re the ones being victimised.

  777. Please don’t, unless you can guarantee you’re capable of teaching to at least four GCSE subjects to grade 4 pass level; six would be even better. If you’re rich enough, get a private tutor involved. I work in education. You wouldn’t believe the number of home-schooled 16 year-olds who don’t have even basic English and Maths qualifications. They’ll struggle to get jobs, some apprenticeships won’t take them, and there’s only a limited number of places on College entry level courses.
    8
  778. What you’re seeing is the abusive mentality in operation. The abuser will do anything to break a victim into retaliating (which includes, btw, politely asking for the intimidation to stop), then scream and tantrum about how they're being victimised. Unfortunately, an awful lot of people (referred to as Flying Monkeys) rush to soothe the poor abuser and then victimise the victim further. These tactics are the same whether it’s DV or whole nations under attack. Our “peaceful friends” are playing the same game.
    8
  779. Been there and got diagnosed as having Alzheimer’s by my now ex. Luckily, I’m a logician and, once I saw a pattern, did some research, finding the term gaslighting. After that, he had some spectacular rows whenever I refused to accept his version of reality; I say “he” because he went incandescent and argued with himself. Anyway, every abuser uses the same playbook. I’d recommend everyone else reads “Why Does He Do That” by Lundy Bancroft.

  787. We are training a lot of young people to enter the care sector. Unfortunately, the poor lambs seem completely unaware of how corrupt the sector has become over the last thirty years. Did you know that some care home groups require the applicant to pay them to complete a DBS check even though they hold one already? It’s a huge scam since only one person - or no person (I’ve heard of that happening) - gets the job. Taking on unskilled foreign workers is just another lucrative ploy.

  797. Thank goodness! I’m not alone out here, after all! “A.I.” is a post-truth lie, being nothing more than a very, very fast search and compile engine that doesn’t even get close to passing the Turing Test. I see it as both automated plagiarism and a threat to free expression; who controls the algorithms, controls the output. It’s the latter application which concerns me most, as it provides direct interaction to three bedrocks of human expression: music, art and language. GIGO, peeps: GIGO.

  809. Sir PTerry had Discworld's Dwarf females bearded and mentioned the delicate politics of trying to ascertain the sex of a possible marriage partner, given that armour, helmets and big axes were de rigeur. The LoTR's text states that female Dwarves were few and looked so like the males that it was difficult to tell them apart. Aragon jokes that: it's the beards - and he isn't contradicted! I'm okay with the concept of beardless Dwarf females, actually, but the actress in the trailer is patently a lady and dressed like a World of Warcraft female Dwarf (and WoW female Dwarfs do not have beards).

  822. There should be an international investigation, late though it is, but asking Catholic politicians for help isn’t going to get anywhere.
    7
  823.  @robertshank8412 how d’you think Canada would react to my local area tendency to call everyone “me duck”.
    7
  824. What about the people who moved into the house? They ignored him for four years while he was begging to be let in - and they didn’t call a rescue centre! Who’s worse?
    7
  825. My eldest son has neither driving licence nor passport, and refused to get temporary voting ID online. As he said, anyone can get fake documents and submit a fake photograph, so he didn’t want to be mixed up in it. He also pointed out that a lot of elderly Brits don’t hold a driving licence or passport, nor use computers, and might not wish the bother of going to their local council HQ (do you blame them?). This, he said, effectively disenfranchised them. Before you blame the non-voters, ask yourself the reason they didn’t vote, because it isn’t always apathy.

  826.  @ohsweetmystery the true villain always believes he’s doing good.
    7
  827. A Leftie has entered the conversation.
    7
  828. I think you were referring to William the Barstud there 😁
    7
  829. You forgot insufferable.
    7
  830. 60 million more eligible social security numbers than... hm... Must be offshore postal voters?
    7
  831. Don’t forget that the Moslem activists who took over several Middle East counties also supported the Leftist politicians who helped them to power. About forty feet off the ground in some cases.
    7
  832. It’s in case an old lady wanders in and scares them.
    7
  833. A very interesting question. Is this the Great Replacement or Great Reset? They are very different ideas (or conspiracy theories). The one will result in a return to much more backward times, the other will establish the start of a new Age of Enlightenment. Either way, as history tells us, they’ll be birth pangs. We live in interesting times.
    7
  834. No idea how they got/are getting away with it 🤔 If my old department even showed a hint of overspending and warnings were ignored, the budget was “reviewed downwards” and staffing would be cut.
    7
  835. @Roz-y2d sweetheart, he really is that stupid - he really did say some nasty things about Trump.
    7
  836. It’s organised crime, with gang members literally bussed in to work and area. Happens here in the UK, too, just not on such an industrial scale.
    7
  837. @cptkloss23 stopping substantial amounts of food reaching the cities is always an option.
    7
  838. No one has bothered with the asylum laws for ages. The UK receives an awful lot of people who’ve travelled through multiple countries to get here. How’re you liking the influx of single young men, btw?
    7
  839. I was an active Trade Unionist in 1999. I told my Brothers that a minimum wage might provide a reasonable starting wage but would inevitably lead to skilled and specialist workers being paid the same amount as the unskilled, depressing overall incomes and impacting on both society and the economy. It was the damn obvious elephant in the detail. Fast forward twenty years: a very Left colleague finally admitted that I had been correct. For good measure, he also admitted that my warnings about Tony Blair had been spot on.
    7
  840. I’m confused… surely “nonce”, derived from Middle English, means “for the one purpose”? Hence a bike nonce is just someone who is employing a specific two-wheeled form of transportation to a given destination… what’s so libellous about that? 🤣🤣🤣
    7
  841. But, in certain places, if you do parent your child, the state might not like it and intervene.
    7
  842. My paternal grandfather died in the 1918 ‘flu epidemic. He was, according to my late father, a little unwell one evening, so went to bed early; the next day, he was too weak to get up, passing away late that night. It frightened the family but, luckily, no one else took ill.
    7
  843. If you mean that sarcastically…
    7
  844. Considering he’s acting like an absolute… monarch…
    7
  845. Those who observe Lent are doing so with quiet humility. A lot of those observing Ramadan are of the same thoughtful mind. Now, take a good look at those who are using the opportunity to virtue signal. Hm…
    7
  846. I’ve always wondered why it’s considered kind to put a suffering animal “to sleep”, but to let a human suffer to their last breath (I’m old enough to have witnessed both situations). However, we should’ve been given a referendum on this question. That said, our politicians won’t give us a referendum on restoring capital punishment, either. I presence we’d return the “wrong decisions”…
    7
  847. What do they expect? That they can get whatever they want on demand.
    7
  848. Nah. You learn to do that in management training courses.
    7
  849. Change started to happen during the 1960s. My parents stopped voting for the Labour Party during the 70s.
    7
  850. That’s one huge Health and Safety violation in the streets there. Too many people in one place, uncontrolled crowd dynamics with risk of crushing. No ambulance, let alone a paramedic, could get to a casualty (and I’m not thinking one due to violence).
    7
  851. Spiteful little bullies, more like. I’m pretty sure someone warned the government that this proposed legislation is going to cause chaos.
    7
  852. Actually, the Trojan war began because Eris, goddess of discord and strife, had not been invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis. She turned up with a golden apple inscribed: for the fairest. Hera, Athena and Aphrodite claimed the apple, which is often referred to as the Apple of Discord (Assassin’s Creed players, take note!). Paris, a young Trojan prince raised in secret as a shepherd, was asked to judge between them and they all offered bribes er… boons, and he chose love, awarding the apple to Aphrodite. As a reward, Aphrodite caused Helen of Troy to fall in love with Paris and you know the rest. So, the script writer was spot on with Velma’s remark that rating hot girls was how the Trojan War started. That was a mythology nerd joke. Colour me, just once, impressed!
    7
  853. The Principle Boy is a girl and the Ugly Sisters/Evil Queen/Step-mother are/is a man although a few notch female impersonators have played The Good Fairy. Welcome to the Briritsh pantomime!
    7
  854. Let’s have support for World Wear A Funny Hat Day! That’s much more sensible than a day promoting an enforced version of the wimple.
    7
  855. Prisoner of conscience.
    7
  856. You’ll not like me saying this but: TR is going for martyrdom. His recently permitted video sounded like he was a hostage…
    7
  857. Those in charge tell those further down the food chain what to do, although there may be those at the lower levels who are of the culture involved, so happy to help.
    7
  858. The majority didn't vote for Labour but first-past-the-post gave Starmer the win. Everything totally above board, no postal vote rigging…
    7
  859.  @prithvis4581 people who are fed up swimming in the river and decide to go to the seaside?
    7
  860. Correct!
    7
  861. Whether people see it or not, the majority already cower in compliance.
    7
  862. We’ve stumbled. Righting ourselves could be a bit rough or, and here’s a thought, look like the process the US is undergoing.
    7
  863. Since Starmer reckons the WEF has his loyalty before GB, he’ll no doubt self-delude that Trump wanted to avoid a social faux pas. Aren’t there some significant trials also on 20th January?
    7
  864. Down with veganism! Oh, you don’t mean vegans 😁
    7
  865. Hello, America! Love from 🇬🇧

  866. Is Cherie Blair short of a few quid, then?
    7
  867. Astronomers locate black holes by the effect their gravity wells (event horizons) have on nearby matter, which heats up by millions of degrees and emits x-rays and radio waves. Once captured, light cannot escape the event horizon. Any captured matter will be subject to a time compression process known as spaghettification and, it is theorised, fall forever or until it hits a point of zero time. The fiscal black hole which Labour seem already to be orbiting, will therefore be detectable because it will effectively cause a lot of heated emotions, no light will ever be shone upon it without being lost, and any attempt to investigate it will simply cease to progress.
    7
  868. They already have…
    7
  869. In the UK, oat starch and similar rubbish is referred to as “milk replacement drink”.
    7
  870. Because net zero only refers to the landmass of Britain. No doubt importers will be punished with a huge tax for daring to transport the steel to places it’s needed, then the manufacturers being taxed for using it and distributing finished goods, then the public taxed for buying an item and taking it home (that’ll be higher fuel taxes for cars or delivery).
    7
  871. Woke cyclists can probably afford electric bicycles with a top speed of 28 mph. I eagerly await the two tier policing there when the speed cameras catch standard bicycle users going wheeeeee! down steep hills.
    7
  872. Hm, from C17th St Mary of Bethlehem Hospital - which gave us the word bedlam - was admitting visitors who paid to see the insane confined there, although there is some evidence such visits might have been taken place, infrequently, during the C16th. This might’ve started to obtain charity funding from the upper classes; it might’ve been to warn visitors of the need to remain virtuous and not fall into vice; it ended up a freak show. All-in-all, like some parts of YT.
    7
  873.  @torokun  we’d love to, but men keep speaking up for us even though they don’t know what we are.
    7
  874. At least thirty years ago, I was involved in a situation where a third party was offended by a slightly naughty joke they’d overheard. In fact, it turned out that the third party was offended that the second party was not offended by the first party. This was the height of Old Political Correctness, but the third party got short shrift and, subsequently, resigned in a huff. I’m looking forward to the day we can once again advise other mean little bullying tattletales to go forth at their leisure.
    7
  875. On certain deaf ears. I hear him - you hear him - millions like us hear him.
    7
  876. New York judges are running a catch and release programme. It’s working really well, I hear.
    7
  877. Animal testing doesn’t always prove a drug or other treatment is effective or safe. Sadly, the alternative is trialling on humans only, and that raises even more ethical questions.
    7
  878. Remember Cherie Blair…?
    7
  879. Things will be fixed. Unfortunately, it’ll be messy.
    7
  880. Would you fight for your country in your country, against enemies invading your country? That’s a completely different proposition.
    7
  881. Well done! That’s the entire point of this exercise!
    7
  882. You’re assuming that all Boomers are afflicted by some form of Alzheimer’s?
    7
  883. The king is a constitutional monarch and has no powers. However, the House of Lords appears to be seething and, although they are advisory, they have a lot of influence.
    7
  884. I suspect Botox. He should sue his cosmetic surgeon because it’s affecting his cognitive functions.
    7
  885. Sounds like New York. Cash Jordan has been telling us this for about a year now.
    7
  886. ​ @viktoriacostelo8612  it's a lot of borrowed Judaic stories which were used to create a new, emotive narrative meant to galvanise rebellion against the then Persian ruler.
    7
  887. Isn’t the original quote from Plutarch? It’s supposed to relate to the young Alexander lamenting that his dad had already been there and done that, so he wasn’t going to get equal conquerer’s glory. Because, if that’s really where the line came from, it’s more fitting than ever for KK.
    7
  888. It’s only bleak if you give up.
    7
  889. GIGO applies.
    7
  890.  @chrisgoad1935  I guess it is a joke until you've been in this situation.
    7
  891. I’m English and even I know that the steam vents are for old heating systems. It was a staple of film noir environments back in the day!
    7
  892. @joe smith you really have no conception of thousands of years of human culture, do you?
    7
  893. I’m not sorry for being British, for being mostly English and part Welsh. I couldn’t pick a country off a map nor designate my parents in advance; I couldn’t select which skin colour might suit me best nor decide my first encounter with a religious practice. I will not be blamed for things out of my control nor let some control freak with an agenda tell me I don’t fit their Procrustean Bed.
    7
  894. Don’t forget the US! What was it? Over 350,000 minors going missing?
    7
  895. Three years, two months and five days to official retirement age here (not that I’m counting…). God and genetics willing, I’ll be able to continue working this period. Labour government willing, I won’t have to keep working in order to pay for freeloaders, grifters and foreign nationals who have their hands held out for freebies.
    7
  896.  @Lousialee-hm3gu  Narcissism, Psychopathy and Machiavellianism, with latest addition, Sadism.
    7
  897. Once Ukraine is sorted, once the Middle East is sorted, both by the US, there’ll be no reason for their peoples here not to go back home with a little encouragement. I’m sure this’ll release resources to deal with the other problem noted here *cough-cough*.
    7
  898. Dunno about being RW, but I do still have my old hockey stick.
    7
  899. As opposed to The Great Reset.
    7
  900.  @Utubeisevil  oh, hi - there's even nasty souls on the Dodo now?
    7
  901. I developed tinnitus several years ago, not long after a really bad bout of ‘flu. I love silence but, sadly, I’ll never hear it again. Along with the tinnitus came hyperacusis. Any loud, high-pitched noise, especially a sudden one, causes me physical pain. Emergency vehicle sirens, a child screaming because s/he wants something, a passing idiot barking into their mobile phone, young women screeching at each other…
    7
  902. People who have no choice...
    7
  903. @Force9Gale-dt4rh a place in the history books.
    6
  904. Speaking from experience, when women trash-talk about men it’s usually how well-groomed they are i.e. hot or not, how incompetent they may be at stuff (DIY, driving, mowing the lawn, putting the washing out etc) and how bloody annoying it is to find they’ve spilt oil on the Ambusson. I feel it’s more a case of Ms I’m Very Diverse wanting to express her Narcissism, as Disparu observes.
    6
  905. Yes, remember the cold and stillness? Now, try to imagine what will happen to the world weather patterns, flora and fauna if that thing gets made.
    6
  906. You’d want the irregulars given a local uniform and sent out armed?
    6
  907. USAID paid for my tv licence… Oh, hang on. I don’t have a tv, and my ex pays a licence fee for the tv I don’t have (in case I get arrested for not having a tv), so I guess USAID has paid for a lot of other people’s tv licences.
    6
  908. I’m afraid it’s impossible to help a fool.
    6
  909. @thomasrobert4654 until we’re not, as history has shown many times.
    6
  910. Buy DVDs while you can! All those old tv series from the original Sesame Street to Scooby-Doo, Pingu to Bear in the Big Blue House, The Wombles to Thunderbirds, Tiny Planet to Transformers. You know: the good old shows in the US and UK. Then sit down and relive your childhood, too. PS: I love Gus already 👍
    6
  911. "Spear shall be shaken, shield shall be splintered. A sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin and [Amazon's] ending!"
    6
  912. I believe you have missed out a salient comma there. The rallying cry should be 'go, women!'
    6
  913. Transmen were born women and still retain XX genes, therefore are probably more likely to err on the side of caution.
    6
  914. A tone-deaf, and aurally-challenged, culture.
    6
  915. Actually, I’m starting to think it’s our local press rather than the police doing this. They also run headlines about rising crime and criticise the police as ineffective.
    6
  916. I really don’t like the man. Gives me the fantods. But I’m so glad he’s taken the election; just what the West needs.
    6
  917. A misquote, yes, but it and the full one will be everywhere soon, thanks to Amazon triggering the Tolkien fans.
    6
  918. Puppets, that’s what. The question is: who’s pulling the strings, because it’s the same group whoever is voted into ‘power’.
    6
  919.  @jenniferrose9884  now you have raised one of those points few probably consider these days: 5th columnists. How easy to slip in dangerous enemies of the state among genuine asylum seekers and desperate immigrants. France is, I think, already reaping that whirlwind.
    6
  920. He has foot-in-mouth.
    6
  921. Starmer is a lawyer. I pity his wife trying to divorce him.
    6
  922. Literally, it’s in the genes of some African people. Tribes used to send young men out to join groups in the wild and only accepted the back survivors about seven years later. This is anthropology.
    6
  923. Nicely concluded, Drinker. Tom Baker’s Doctor struggling with an existential moral dilemma: do I have the right to change history just because I’m offered the opportunity?
    6
  924.  @littlegardener7052  I'm referring to the African National Congresss' propaganda, dear.
    6
  925. Well, Evil-Lyn finally gets to enjoy a Skeletor boner. NB: it's just his head that got skeletised; the rest of him is, apparently, fully functional.
    6
  926. Gotham is a corruption of Goat Home (to put it in modern English). It’s the place where the madmen reside, which is very apt for Batman and, it seems, NYC.
    6
  927. Seriously? Cancel Aretha? What a bunch of maroons. Have ‘They’ gone for Gloria Gaynor yet?
    6
  928. My dear Dad told me never to blindly follow the flock; I think he’d really appreciate the modern term ‘sheeple’. Thanks to this advice, I grew up to be anti-authoritarian, cynical and logical, all traits which have served me well although the increase in eye-rolling over the last five years has proven increasingly disorienting.
    6
  929. A set of cross “county lines”…
    6
  930. Screwtape is proud of you BB.
    6
  931. I look forwards to the day a not-at-all-grown-man who identifies as a little girl overturns the sexist notion that little girls are not as good as little boys at school sport.
    6
  932. Don’t feed the Leftist troll.
    6
  933. Got it in one 😈
    6
  934. And, at the last, the medical centre gets to do the autopsy. Win-win all the way.
    6
  935. Transhumanism…
    6
  936. It’s getting Kafkaesque. I suspect any parent removing their daughter from this poop-show might get hauled off to the gulag for hurting the play-doh-files feelings.
    6
  937. Lots of transwomen available for call up. They’re not going to be of use repopulating.
    6
  938. We’re being forced to tolerate the intolerant and accept their intolerance…
    6
  939.  @samuel8265  so that's the argument Starmer is going to use. Thanks for letting me know.
    6
  940.  @megowopwop8545 and abuse is all about control founded on entitlement.
    6
  941. Okay. War, starvation and preventing medical intervention are on the back burner.
    6
  942. So glad that Tar-Miriel - 'fairer than silver or ivory or pearls' - is a great warrior leading an army of women. Her cousin, Pharazon, will never be able to force her to marry him, will he?
    6
  943.  @firsteerr  you’re either very young or just not understanding that upsetting someone now results in a call for the mob to grab their virtual pitchforks and torches.
    6
  944. OMG - minimalism!
    6
  945. Soldiers! Yes, that’s why some wag in the US started to use the term “irregulars”.
    6
  946. Nope. Replace student loans and course fees with grants, and permit only the top 2-5% achievers per academic year to enter University. We used to do that in the UK, you know. Before someone had the bright idea of cramming every young ‘genius’ into HE and charging them for the privilege with lifelong debt.
    6
  947. I believe that the word ‘moral’, it’s participles and definition, have been removed from the dictionary on grounds of racism.
    6
  948. “I’m a man of peace” ranks #2.
    6
  949. National Insurance Numbers… Whole families using one; individuals applying for multiples by changing their personal details e.g. swapping names around. There’s no way to actually use NI numbers to estimate immigration.
    6
  950.  @Helo_rides_for_commies  but dating black people is also racist.
    6
  951. Perhaps Sir S is going to step down in favour of Tony Blair who will thereafter be referred to as Beloved Leader?
    6
  952. Indeed, boys are not being married off but certain groups are still… affecting them.
    6
  953. Cognitive dissonance. Heads you're wrong and tails you're wrong.
    6
  954. Through my job, I met a man who believed chairs were following him, because he found chairs wherever he went. Wouldn’t sit down; couldn’t use public transport or get in a car. He was sectioned and received long term treatment, but he never fully recovered and, when he came to the office, always insisted on standing. It was very sad.
    6
  955. One billeted to every household in the UK pending 1.5 million new houses built for them.
    6
  956. I dispute - there is a growing Islamophobia. More people are becoming afraid of what the horrible violent people hiding behind their Koran will do.
    6
  957. Noah was actively promoting diversity and inclusivity. The well-informed gentleman presenter is highlighting geese privilege and backing up his contention with examples of other obvious geese privilege e.g. cats. He cleverly highlights and then removes peaceful tarantula hawks from the list. To challenge the content of this video is, therefore, racist.
    6
  958. I rather like Farage. He’s got his head screwed on and has a wicked sense of humour.
    6
  959.  @samblack5313 here’s a truism for you. Abusers, including Narcissists, demand that little children act like adults, but treat older children (and adults!) as if they were infants. It’s all about dominance and control.
    6
  960.  @SammEater in other words: Blackrock. But I don’t reckon they can do it on their own [cue the WEF friendship song].
    6
  961. In the UK, we’d call that a utility room. It’d be off the kitchen with a door to the back garden, handy for hanging the washing out.
    6
  962. I have a not inconsiderable number of books about myth, archaeology, culture and art. I'm a huge fan of Transformers, Tolkien and Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld. I know what an archetype is. I also know that myths have always been intended to hold universal truths (love, honour, sacrifice etc.), but have been shamelessly abused by those wanting to subvert the original story for their own ends; it's also a thing for a conquering culture to enforce their own myths, removing one of the strongest baselines of the conquered. Need I say more? Furthermore, I take umbrage to the writer's stance on classics as a white male dominated field that needs to be improved upon and replaced. I think this reflects insular minds and is nothing but a straw man argument. There: pedantic rant over.
    6
  963. So, this movie’s target audience is cats, right? Or just flerken? That’d cut the box office takings, but at least copies of the film may inexplicably disappear.
    6
  964. Reruns of The ICEman cometh, perhaps?
    6
  965. WEF or Lord Alli on his tod: both unacceptable.
    6
  966. Babylon Bee did an excellent skit on an alien landing in California.
    6
  967. One might say the market will explode…
    6
  968. Please: The Dawn of the Nugget is great.
    6
  969. My reply deleted. Did some soft "sinister" person object or was it YT not liking the truth?
    6
  970. We now live in a country where exclaiming “(God) bless you!” in response to a sneeze will get you a prison term. However, appalling barbaric activities are rewarded with freebies of all kinds, and I’ve no doubt the weapon of choice is returned to the offender as, otherwise, it’d be considered theft.
    6
  971. I anticipate the day when every participant in women's sports is a trans man or self-identifying as female. That'll be shortly before women are banned from participating in anything, including voting...
    6
  972. The dessert turning green does not fit the narrative. The gravy train is starting to come off the rails.
    6
  973. It is. It’s Blaxploitation starring Ruby Rhod with an added Harkonnen (did you spot that one?).
    6
  974. Alas, my great-great-grandfather’s draw knife was stolen, along with the rest of the family woodworking tools, from my brother’s workshop when he suffered a fatal fall. Since my grandfather died in the 1918 ‘flu epidemic, I can’t imagine how old it might’ve actually been. More of these craftsman vids, please. They’re fascinating.
    6
  975. You noticed, and so have an awful lot of others who previously sleep-walked.
    6
  976. It’s a beautifully sardonic song, that.
    6
  977. What percentage of “irregulars” are female? Just wondering… It’s just that, every time I encounter the now approved term “irregular”, my first go-to is “military” as in: a group of special combatants who act outside the regular armed forces, such as guerrillas, privateers or paramilitaries. Interesting choice of synonym for “illegal”, isn’t it?
    6
  978. Sadiq Khan - professional victim.
    6
  979. I am equally perplexed. What is really going on here? No country has ever declined so quickly except if there’s been a coup.
    6
  980. I’m unimpressed by the scumbags who hurt and/or dump vulnerable animals.
    6
  981. Eggs have gone up in price due to the bird ‘flu and rising price of feed. But I never thought I’d see my American cousins paying THAT much for a dozen! Guys, either the sector is in deliberate decline - well, eggs are now a bad food again - or you’re being serious ripped off.
    6
  982. It’s deliberate, but Sir S is just the current mouthpiece. Once he goes, will Labour promote another useful idiot or call in Blair?
    6
  983. One big box ticked there, then. Alls right with the world.
    6
  984.  @Kentchangar  at least Roy Thomas gave us excellent new stories and renditions of the originals in the Conan comics.
    6
  985. Daily…

  986. That was always a mystery.
    6
  987. @laganas2008 you’re surprised?
    6
  988.  @Ryantrock8888  the more peaceful ended up dead or enslaved. No one ever likes to add that basic fact.
    6
  989. But… but… it worked with JFK..
    6
  990. I like working from home. No need to travel on multiple buses to and from the office every weekday. Hyper-vigilance is so exhausting.
    6
  991. Henry is with Games Workshop now so I can’t see him being lured back to The Witcher, in any form, for a long, long time.
    6
  992. My opinion on net zero? Buckyballs!
    6
  993. I’m offended that someone is offended by my culture.
    6
  994.  @CentreMetre look it up. An awful lot of social workers got behind the idea.
    6
  995. Buckle up, you wet blankets. It’s going to be a bumpy ride, sure, but going to your knees and giving up isn’t a viable option.
    6
  996. One of my adult sons has no approved ID and couldn’t get a temporary one despite trying. He doesn’t want a passport - he’s ill, so unable to drive - and he considers official photo ID to be a form of government control!
    6
  997. Good grief! Chase wasn’t Dracula, but behaving like Renfield. How interesting.
    6
  998. “Sexualised by men wolf whistling?” Good grief. Back in my day, we’d either toss our heads and walk on (perhaps smiling), or give back some witty repartee.
    6
  999. Reform is a proper political party, with MPs elected to parliament.
    6
  1000. @ECPBigD the government based in England was - and still is despite devolution - the same one representing Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland i.e. Great Britain.
    6
  1001.  @mirandarights9635 betting the latter of those two.
    6
  1002. I remember the ray-sist 1970s and 80s. Burgeoning Political Correctness and positive discrimination. A period when walking along any side street of certain urban areas could trigger a volley of foreign language insults and hand gestures of a violent or graphic nature from loitering mobs of non-native males. More than a few persistent nuisances who, in broken English, informed young women like myself that they wanted to be our boyfriends… Report any of this to the police and get questioned, if not arrested. Working class?Put up and shut up. How far we’ve come since then.
    6
  1003. I'm from the UK, so bear with me... If Critical Race Theory is being weaponised (see what I did there?) against the predominently white culture of the US, can it be applied in countries which are not predominently or even a smidgen white against their own social and legal structures? If not, why not? Shouldn't the whole world have the chance to get Woke within it's cultural format? It'll save the planet from climate change!
    6
  1004. Seeing the video, I quite agree with a tentative dementia diagnosis. It looks like BPSD. Sadly, some sufferers go beyond angry shouting and get physically violent.
    6
  1005. If all police are wrapped up investigating the “non-crimes” of the innocent, the real criminals can get on with serious crime undisturbed. Or maybe it’s just a grift…
    6
  1006. Pay attention! Two sets of legislation espoused by Labour for various reasons are now being used against Labour. The Law Lords are also considering how the trans agenda - reaffirmed by Labour - is in breach of the Equalities Act 2010. It’s glorious 😈
    6
  1007. Some of us didn’t tolerate this and were silenced when we spoke up. We knew what would happen. But, wtf? I’m a traditional feminist and everyone “knows” feminists love and support gender ideology…
    6
  1008. Yeah, no. As a Tolkien fan and a woman, I’d prefer not to work with any directing team who knew sweet Fanny Adams about Middle Earth. It would be hard work scrubbing the blood off the walls.
    6
  1009. How old are you?
    6
  1010. That will come. Wait.
    6
  1011. It’s more wonderfully complex than just genetics, though, because we should never underestimate the importance of climate, phenotype, and the transfer of memes on the history of human development. The last Ice Age ended around 10,000 years ago, at which point non-Neanderthal groups living in river valleys created early empires such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, Carthage, and China as a result of grain farming while northern climes remained too cold for this innovation until nearer 5,000 BC. The Bantu migration brought new ideas into sub-Saharan areas between 4,000 and 5,000 BC, bringing iron, grain farming, pottery and new language to existing peoples. Some very powerful empires arose which, due to the whimsical nature of our education system, few outside those areas study. Once trade routes inevitably opened - surely you don’t really think early Holocene people didn’t go for a walk or construct boats? - new stories and ideas began circulating along with goods. Everyone benefited or wars began, some of which ended empires, destroyed progress, and brought civilisations back to square one; this happened all over the world. End of mini-lecture. It’s barebones, just a quick note, really. Don’t get hung up on genetics because we’re all Homo sapiens sp. standing at that point where the falling angel meets the rising ape.
    6
  1012. Michael Morbius fan here - I feel your pain.
    6
  1013.  @disneylover6408  while we in GB have years of Labour doing a Democrat on our population and economy.
    6
  1014. Love ‘Hook’: Peter grew up and had to find his inner child again in order to find himself (the child is the father of the man, as Wordsworth put it). I even liked the new Lost Boys and how real death taught them about the reality behind their eternal fantasy, flagging one of the more subtle themes of the original story which was keenly felt come WWI.
    6
  1015. As a Woolyback, born and bred, I’m impressed by Max’s perfect pronunciation, too… we tend to say: Lesta and Lestashir, me duck 😂
    6
  1016. Not even any suggestion that Bruce might’ve been… I dunno… looking to change the legacies for other people named in the current Will? My goodness! Did the writers never read any Agatha Christie?
    6
  1017.  @raypurchase801 that could be construed as undermining Brit morale, you know? Why, yes: several members of my family did fight in WWII (and some in WWI).
    6
  1018. Spelled that way, Sir S is an elite or person of wealth. Which is spot on. The derogatory term is knob. Which is also spot on.
    6
  1019. I know the UK is at the back of the queue, but we’re patient.
    6
  1020. I do not know of Mr Strickland, but that’s some sweet satire he delivered while in his car.
    6
  1021. I have a badge that reads: I’m Weird. Join the club. Reclaim the weird.
    6
  1022. @LWD1099 end centuries of British cultural tradition? Labour would love that, especially Blair, our President for Life candidate. Do stop being Woke.
    6
  1023. You must write a book so everyone can benefit from your experience 👍
    6
  1024. Dearest Ed is destroying our ability to produce our own fuel. Where will we buy energy from at hyper-inflated prices? Surely not our enemies in the Middie East 🙈🙉🙊
    6
  1025.  @lulujanuary  always be aware that someone in deep water who is waving their arms might be drowning. Dylan must’ve made a raft of empty cans.
    6
  1026. I’m not a pensioner yet; got to wait another 2 years and 10 months. I joined Reform before the election. I’ve never voted Labour. You see, when I was 18, my local MP sent me a letter anticipating I’d dutifully vote for him just as my parents did. That MP was Greville Janner… Post-Harold Wilson, my parents voted Conservative, the only viable opposition of the day.
    6
  1027. Wonder if there’ll be knocks on farm doors at 4am?
    6
  1028. Had his fingers crossed.
    6
  1029. Lols - from what I hear, the old, skilled civil servants have moved on or retired, making room for badly-trained yoof.
    6
  1030. The autism thing? It’s happening in the UK, too. Ritalin (methylphenidate) is a Class B drug over here. It’s prescribed to children over the age of 6 diagnosed with ADHD or autism, and sought after by adult drug addicts. Over-diagnosis is, therefore, a lucrative business. Think of it as another opioid crisis. Sadly, this means that genuinely autistic children are overlooked or thrown under the trans juggernaut.
    6
  1031. Paying in blood, sweat and tears…
    6
  1032. You mean: just like the DEI US troops with their rainbow flag? Didn’t see one of those on the border when they deployed, did you?
    6
  1033. @FredScuttle456 Feathers McGraw is a penguin… no, a chicken… possibly a chicken but might be a penguin. The BBC love that kind of uncertainty.
    5
  1034. Pretty much an abuser's kitbox there...
    5
  1035. I won't use social media other than YT: any chance of compilations of the short videos?
    5
  1036. And that’s why we have a House of Lords!
    5
  1037. I was wondering when the Jedi developed trans-stellar teleportation and a Wolverine-type healing factor.
    5
  1038. “Talking is cheap, people follow like sheep Even though there is nowhere to go. How could she tell he deceived her so well Pity she’ll be the last one to know.” Silence is Golden, 1964. Perhaps that’s a bit out of context, but…
    5
  1039. Oink!
    5
  1040. @bileybill I guess you’re an optimist, yes?
    5
  1041. Ah, the purest definition of Woke.
    5
  1042. Be prepared. It’s going to get much, much worse before it gets better.
    5
  1043. Hey, you take that back! I really enjoyed the first Iron Man because it was pretty accurate to the proper origin story and it had lots of action. I was 47 when it was released, too.
    5
  1044. @PeaceIsYeshua don’t forget to read A Christmas Carol!
    5
  1045. Charity begins at home!
    5
  1046. …and redacted statistics.
    5
  1047. I believe they are trying not to think for themselves because they damn well know that, if they do, they’re cancelled. Fear is a powerful weapon. We just need to find out whose finger is on this trigger.
    5
  1048. Every Western country potentially has this problem. Don’t sit back and sneer at the UK…
    5
  1049. Real wolves? Actual wolves? Cor!
    5
  1050. It’s historically recognised that there’s civil Islam and militant Islam. A lot of the former group have suffered at the hands of the latter.
    5
  1051. See? You were prompted to learn something as a result of the study, meaning it was t pointless at all 😂
    5
  1052. It’s possible to get turkey stuffed with goose with chicken (or duck) and partridge (or quail) as a very expensive Christmas feast in the UK. I think there might be honey glaze... Never wanted to try it and, in fact, probably couldn’t afford it...
    5
  1053.  @calvinbeachy7902  42
    5
  1054. Ever stopped to think how women were tricked? It was only a few at first, no unreasonable demands, lots of sympathy and support in the MSM. It fooled non-abusive men, too, or it’d have stopped a few years ago.
    5
  1055. Dunno about tolerance. But I do know that assuming kindness equals weakness is a big mistake.
    5
  1056.  @craigpoer divide and conquer. Also, ensure that anyone criticising or standing against the approved narrative is collectively labelled a bigot, Fascist (how ironic), evil, -phobic etc. and subject to imprisonment for hurting their “victim’s” feelings.
    5
  1057. I can finally identify as a CYBERTRONIAN attack helicopter and change my name to Whirl! Now, where can I get an empurata operation?
    5
  1058. I’d just like to ask: who decides what constitutes a level playing field?
    5
  1059. I’m a female and manga definitely doesn’t appeal to me, but neither does the mainstream. I am invested in The Ripperverse and the new Image Transformers, though.
    5
  1060. The World Economic Forum.
    5
  1061. I wonder if that’s how the citizens of Babel fed their waterfowl?
    5
  1062. That’s because the rooster is terrified he’ll be cancelled (referred to in ‘chicken talk’ as cooked) if he doesn’t agree.
    5
  1063. I’d like to point out that castration aka gelding is the removal of the testes only. This is not the same as emasculation, which removes the penis, too. Historically, eunuchs were castrated; prisoners of war were humiliated and executed by emasculation.
    5
  1064. I'm sorry. I want Leroy Jenkins in there in Todd's place. But that's just me.
    5
  1065. Modernity? “An Essay on the Principle of Population” was published in 1798. That’s the book which discussed how to Reduce the Surplus Population.
    5
  1066. We in the UK are awaiting what Trump is going to visit on Starmer and Lammy.
    5
  1067.  @archstanton9073 that’s worth it but how does it translate to SWs?
    5
  1068. Norse first for me, then onto Greco-Roman and other mythologies, folklore, magic and superstition. And R.E.Howard, Lovecraft, le Fanu, Algernon Blackwood, Saki, M.R.James… … before I hit age 11. I wore big girl pants 👍
    5
  1069.  @badchefi  you refer to the Lord? You saying He's fake?
    5
  1070. @HighlandWilly which is why some wag, playing the Leftwhinge at their own soft language game, suggested the term “irregular migrants” 🤣
    5
  1071. Wow! Consider me convinced. From this point on I’m referring to groundbreaking anime films as cartoons. Next time someone at a convention wants to discuss Ghost in the Shell or Akira, I’ll smile and shrug and say: “It’s just a cartoon.”
    5
  1072. In this instance, not just the indigenous population. These yahoos insult every fallen soldier, many of whom were not British.
    5
  1073. I have a Chicagoan friend and she's promised, faithfully, not to take me anywhere near a Chicago pizza when I get over there from the UK...
    5
  1074. Oh, please - no. I live in a Labour-infested city and the council has already forced all local schools and college staff to watch a climate change presentation which was low on facts but high on emotional manipulation.
    5
  1075. Don't forget segregated transport!
    5
  1076. More like the Hellraiser puzzle box.
    5
  1077. Can’t recall the “it win’t be a fair trial, gov” excuse being trotted out for Colin Sutcliffe, the Wests, Hindley and Brady… Those cases were all over the social media of the day: radio, tv, and newspapers.
    5
  1078. As a child of the early 60s, I totally agree!
    5
  1079. You refer to old ladies taking a single tin of salmon?
    5
  1080. We have an adequate number of prisons. The problem is too many offenders of non-Brit ancestry who are being housed instead of extradited or… whatever. However, I am of the opinion that Estonia will undoubtedly be used for Sir S’s political prisoners.
    5
  1081. Who? Who is behind all this? Please tell me!!!
    5
  1082. No farmers - no food - big food supermarkets collapse. Duh.
    5
  1083. It's kinda Zen to witness the self-unaware unaware they're proving it.
    5
  1084. I understand that Blackrock has found out that going Woke leads to broke. They’ve lost an awful lot of funds.
    5
  1085. If you go abroad on holiday, do you frequent McD or eat local cuisine?
    5
  1086. Just as we in the UK would like to know about the private conversations our PM has with Bill Gates and Larry Fink (a man whose name fits him so perfectly).
    5
  1087. T-Levels now running, teaching aged 16-19 specialist subjects such as midwifery and mental health. The first should be going to the NHS this summer… well, we can hope.
    5
  1088. They even mentioned Nicole Schwab as facilitating portals to the Earth Mother, which immediately made me think this might be something to do with magic. It’s perhaps AEON/Thelema? Created in 1904 by Aleister Crowley, Thelema still has many practitioners. Its motto, the full one which Crowley gave it: “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.” That’s supposed to mean self-reliance… Practitioners use ritual magic, and there have been accusations of sex magic which, given that Crowley was infamous for his behaviours, may not be without foundation. Thelema is also anti-capitalistic and pro-Marxism. Apparently, there’s also a mysterious annual meeting of the rich, influential, and political in some woods in America. I wonder.
    5
  1089. Sir S is passive-aggressive. I’m not a psychologist, but had the misfortune to meet many of his ilk during my lifetime.
    5
  1090.  @richardduplessis1090  good lord no, that'd put live weapons in their hands
    5
  1091. Call women racists and misgynists if they object.
    5
  1092. I’d say Max Miller made the best break from his Disney job at the right time!
    5
  1093. Really? Suing her parents for bringing her into the world without her consent? Is she hoping to sue God, too?
    5
  1094. My paternal ancestor came over from Denmark in the early 10th century. Looks like I owe a lot of people reparations… But, hang on! My maternal ancestors were Britons/Celts. Do I pay reparations to myself?
    5
  1095. Are the peasants allowed torches these days? Must consider the impact on climate change…
    5
  1096. On the contrary. The same is happening all over the world. I would love Elon to bring D.O.G.E. here, to the UK, next.
    5
  1097. The problem is rooted in telling young people that, if they believe in themselves, they can do anything. Their parents are also encouraged to support and reiterate the rubric. I don’t pin this on psychology or a lack on religion; I blame the positivity movement. All it’s done is create individuals incapable of accepting their limitations who do not learn from failure but descend into cognitive dissonance. This latter sends them to counselling and/or medication (legal or not).
    5
  1098. He openly accused them of being Leftist and that neatly covers their tactics plus a lot more than ‘racist’.
    5
  1099. @bartsanders1553 that’s not fair to Predacons! (I think you mean “maximum”)
    5
  1100. My youngest son turned against gender ideology after an online influencer declared that body modification changes the subject’s genetic code. He challenged this ludicrous statement and was promptly warned about spreading false information, subsequently being banned from multiple forums.
    5
  1101. I remember telling people that ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ meant: this is a lie.
    5
  1102.  @dennisdouglas5941 I agree, and I’m a woman. PS: I’d not even go into a room filled only with women unless they’re nuns.
    5
  1103. It’s not madness. It’s abusive control at work, the perpetrator belittling real harm while bigging-up minor slights raised by the victim. Just ask DV survivors.
    5
  1104. Also, remember there has to be just the right wind speed. Every child planting a windmill on their sandcastle knows this!
    5
  1105. Try ******/******/******. I saw that recently on a candidate’s form. The gender was also ******.
    5
  1106. The global majority is an underrepresented minority in the UK? That’s Orwellian logic.
    5
  1107. A few years ago, I read about a pharmaceutical company advertising for men to test a new drug meant for pregnant women. Obviously, it would be unethical to test on real pregnant women, but…
    5
  1108. Starmer doesn’t know what a woman is…
    5
  1109. Can’t mention children being stabbed any more…
    5
  1110. Or the British public…
    5
  1111. I’m curious about his script writer, too…
    5
  1112. The fact that the aliens blew up the planet is, I feel, the most offensive part. That’s the ultimate privilege of the Woke.
    5
  1113.  @Wastok  Vogons. Definitely Vogons.
    5
  1114. They’re filming themselves because there’s a risk of accidental drowning. It’s essential to take extra precautions if they don’t want to wear life jackets.
    5
  1115. This has opened my eyes to some of the actions perpetrated by the Cybertronian state in James Roberts’ IDW Transformers More Than Meets the Eye and Lost Light runs. I also understand the more subtle ideas represented by The Empyrean Suite, a weapon in the hands of Tarn, who can literally convince someone to die. I knew the writing was intelligent but I completely missed the real life deep state implications. Thank you.
    5
  1116. Well said! It’s like the companies think we’re all simple minded and they can distract us by shouting SQUIRREL! That and raising the ‘issue’ for press-time.
    5
  1117. The NHS is supplying a lot of vitamin D tablets to our “incomers” who find winter intolerable. Didn’t know about this until a work colleague, requiring vitamin D as part of her post-cancer treatment regimen, couldn’t get any for about a month. This was during a snowy winter in the early 2000s.
    5
  1118. It’s still bigamy here in the UK. However, our political leaders made accommodation for multiple marriages by bending common-law rules. Child Benefit is, you know, problematical, even with the cap.
    5
  1119. Please: traditional transsexuals are completely different to transgenders.
    5
  1120. Because, back in the 1960s, Labour MPs swore they’d destroy England, then Britain, for daring to once have printed maps with lots of pink on them.
    5
  1121. It takes me anywhere between two and three and a half hours to get to and from work per day by public transport (four buses in total). If I had a car, that’d be fifteen to thirty minutes each way, depending on traffic; I know this as I sometimes resort to taxis. I have been forced to walk the distance on a few occasions, which took me over two hours each way. In hot weather, the buses turn into mobile saunas: in cold weather, they turn into fridges. When it rains, I get soaked walking to and from stops without shelters. Why would anyone give up their car? PS: I passed my driving test in 1985 but I’ve never been able to afford to buy a car, let alone run one.
    5
  1122. I’ll bet Uncle Screwtape is laughing right now.
    5
  1123. @ernesthimself you could always leave, as Starmer suggested. We’d rather not have you standing behind us, thanks.
    5
  1124. I beg to differ. The civil service obeys the government and, of course, the government of the day can appoint obedient cronies to the top jobs in each department.
    5
  1125. But we don’t have a culture… allegedly.
    5
  1126. How many times must I say this - the PM is the one who asks the monarch to dissolve parliament. Starmer isn’t going to do that so don’t blame Charles.
    5
  1127. A bloke once told me I have balls for standing up to him. Good job I know I’m a woman.
    5
  1128. In the UK, we have the right to peaceful protest. NB: we currently have that right, and some people’s definition of peaceful is very misleading.
    5
  1129. The blessed nose plugs for full immersion baptism - a must!
    5
  1130. Teflon Starmer? But, if he goes, who will replace him?
    5
  1131. I’m playing World of Warcraft Dragonflight. I hope to locate the hidden heterosexual couple soon… UPDATE: found them, but the guy got killed.
    5
  1132. That’s known as the EU Method.
    5
  1133. The revamped grid, running only on wind and solar sources, won’t cope, full stop. You forget: Labour want to end nuclear power. I’ll bet they eventually declare Dinorwig redundant.
    5
  1134. Try bringing up the issue of FGM and you might well be told you're racist. Funny world, isn't it?
    5
  1135.  @Gary-vx7gp  my reply was taken down by the gurdy Moderators. I have seen the other videos, thanks, and checked the info.
    5
  1136. Not on your nelly!
    5
  1137. Correct! That is an actor and not an actress!
    5
  1138. Thank you, JP! I’m so sick of the regurgitated propaganda you can see all over YouTube right now where men are saying women condone this fiasco by not standing up to fight it. I’m proud to learn that the Women of the Year have the balls that these male commentators don’t.
    5
  1139. I recommend “Escape from New York” just… don’t take the Mayor with you.
    5
  1140. Yep, being vaccinated doesn’t mean you’ll never catch a virus, just that the illness is likely to be mild. Vaccinated people are also more likely to be asymptomatic and that means they can spread the illness in question unknowingly. This is why we do Lateral Flow Tests and PCRs which, although not infallible, are vital to help restrict the spread of Coronavirus. If you’re unvaccinated and don’t fall ill or get a mild infection, bear in mind this is always a possibility as immunity is a complex subject. Don’t be smug about it. You’re okay, but millions were/are not.
    5
  1141.  @Piccyman1  that's the Dark Ages and oh so much more appropriate.
    5
  1142. I’m looking forwards to watching a future gymnastics beam event featuring a trans woman. How ‘she’ handles the weight distribution and seated movements problems will be interesting.
    5
  1143. Wait for it: he’ll announce he’s non-binary next.
    5
  1144. I’ve always been suspicious of carbon reduction initiatives, considering life on Earth is based on carbon. So, was Lovecraft warning us? Will the WEF soon require us to chant “Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"?
    5
  1145. Seconded!
    5
  1146. We need our monarchy and only idiots want WEF Blair in Buckingham Palace for life. That said, Charles is a total charlie, though I suspect he won’t be with us very long.
    5
  1147. I understand it’s difficult to dribble in an abaya.
    5
  1148. @okeng71487 not quite… all European royalty did intermarry, but most only one-time first cousins. More recently, though, they’ve married members of the upper crust who are not related.
    5
  1149. I’m 63. At least I have my Scooby-Doo DVDs.
    5
  1150.  @JckSwan the UK banned capital punishment but, last time I looked, we didn’t ban deportation…

  1151. Multiple timelines all over the place? Definitely a signal of Disney’s involvement! I imagine the company is slavering over multiple spin-offs, too - Absalom Daak and Kroton, maybe - from their UK Marvel back catalogue. PS: I’ve seen the photo of the new Blaxploitation Doctor. Well done, Disney and Aunty Beeb.
    5
  1152. Oh, no. Really? Take off the blinkers, mate. This is the Great Reset. Forget the Great Replacement…
    5
  1153. I don’t follow the football. Guess that makes me a bigot by default. Meh.
    5
  1154. But… but… Labour’s Sir Sadiq Khan doesn’t understand what is meant by “grooming gang” 🤔
    5
  1155. Speaking anthropologically, some African tribes routinely sent groups of young males, aged 12 to 15, out to fend for themselves. This was done (and it might still be!) to prevent violence within the tribe, given the young males’ lack of impulse control. Once they were “sane”, the survivors were welcomed home; some, however, were never let back due to their extreme behaviour and there are some suggestions that these failures were dealt with…

  1156. Wtf do you think the King can do? We’re not an absolute monarchy.

  1157. JP, you’ve just pinned the tail on the Narcissist.
    5
  1158. Ga-Lad-riel? Perfect!
    5
  1159.  @sallyomahony7440  but only literally.
    5
  1160. The people who made these decisions embrace themselves constantly, squealing as they pat their own backs. But that might just be because the jacket straps are too tight.
    5
  1161. Politics, friend. Politics.
    5
  1162.  @LarryDMitchell  I see what you did there. Cruel. I like it.
    5
  1163. If someone says they’re doing something for you, but you don’t want it and it’s patently harmful for you, it’s a form of coercive control.
    5
  1164. Pocket has just today pushed a magazine article from late October feting RoP as the best adaptation of Tolkien to date, worthy of praise for its sweeping grandeur, great plot line and lore accurate characters. Apparently, a few fans made spurious attacks, but they can be dismissed because they are idiots who do not understand Tolkien and istaphobes, to boot. You realise, of course, that this isn’t over yet.
    5
  1165. And criminals out in the streets. Very Stalin.
    5
  1166. I know it's stupid to mess with the endocrine system, especially around puberty, so why didn't these professionals ask questions?
    5
  1167. Having seen two large groups of young men facing off because they were of different ethnic groups - Kurds vs Pakistanis - I very much agree that the UK has imported a lot of problems, but no one wants to tackle such things for fear of upsetting one side or the other and getting slurred by the ‘victims’. Notice that the Leicester incident has been swept under the carpet? If one party had been young white men, there’d have been a lot more mileage in it for the talking heads and fhe press.
    5
  1168. Neither. That’s: Invasion or Settlement?
    5
  1169. Miliband is pocketing lots of lovely cash.
    5
  1170. I'm definitely getting more phobic about groups of people threatening my country.
    5
  1171. sighs we Brits were never granted the right to bear arms. Technically, you could argue that every male householder was once required to own a bow and practice at the butts every Sunday, but that’s not the same as the US right to carry a gun… and even that right boils down to permission to have a primitive firearm as agreed by local officials. On the other hand, we did once have a lot of farm implements to hand…
    5
  1172. Think of it as a vampire cult.
    5
  1173. The vote? Probably a minimum of five each!
    5
  1174. Ever see the Disney film (or at least its end)? Labour should be wary!
    5
  1175. I can remember only three clear things from my early 1960s childhood: playing with balls of dark green wool as I sat in sunlight shining through a big window; my Grandma enthusing about Cliff Richard’s lovely singing voice; and my Grandma crying because an American lady’s husband had died beside her.
    5
  1176. That’s Narcissists for you. Any supply, good or bad, is welcome.
    5
  1177. They won’t see that future because they’ll be some of its first victims.
    5
  1178. For years, my colleagues and I were told at meetings that women were underrepresented at all grades while one look around the room proved the contrary.
    5
  1179. Parts of the Scottish NHS, perhaps on SNP orders, refused to accept the Cass Report, and continue to offer “gender affirming care”.
    5
  1180. This series could be fantastic; the Ptolomies make the Borgias look like amateurs. There’s going to be sieges, murders, double-dealing, political intrigue… But I can’t help thinking that, if they’ve mucked up Cleo like this, what abomination will they make of the actual, real, documented history?
    5
  1181. Same here in the UK where I live. We’ve a lot of older flats which no one can rent and newer flats available for rent which cost too much. The local council wails about the lack of ‘affordable housing’ and authorises more flats ad infinitum.
    5
  1182. The stupidity, more like. My alma mater has removed all Old English, Medieval, and Restoration texts from Lit & Lang studies. The language is outdated, and no one can read it 🙄
    5
  1183. The term is abusive entitlement.
    5
  1184. @caravanlifenz take a long hard look around you, my American cousins. If you need practice to get your eye in, pop to NYC for a few hours.
    5
  1185. This is the exact instant a little bit more pressure could take out this government and blow the safety valve. How… timely. I’m impressed.
    5
  1186. There’s a little voice in my head whispering: Chagos Islands… Chagos Islands. TR is just a steppingstone to US intervention in our government.
    5
  1187. @thetopcat8946 narcissists and sociopaths.
    5
  1188. Shhhh - you’re not supposed to notice that!
    5
  1189. @DD-101 that’s a slur on The Beano! She got the information from official gravy train riders.
    5
  1190. In the UK, someone has to state that they have mental health issues in order to get help; someone else can’t ask on their behalf. This is contributing to problems over here.
    5
  1191. Everyone blames us - no one takes responsibility for their own generation’s failings.
    5
  1192. Not yet. Neither is Europe yet lost. And I’m sure that the certain demographic having a go at Russia might have been a bit of a faux pas.
    5
  1193. I think that we can all learn something from interacting with other cultures and religions. That ranges from peaceful exchanges of gifts to when to run away screaming…
    5
  1194. The Greens are imploding!
    5
  1195. There we go: blaming "feminism" (meaning "women") rather than the real cause - entitled men.
    5
  1196. Some of us in the West do know this history. I’m also pretty sure what’s about to happen next. Interesting times, indeed.
    5
  1197. Commons voted, not the House of Lords. And we must bear in mind that Starmer ordered a three-line whip which, for some reason, did not apply to his cabinet. Starmer abstained, too.
    5
  1198. No puberty blockers there!
    5
  1199. I have candles and torches put by.
    5
  1200. Let’s see: the Court of Owls was living in Batman’s building rent free… Hm. That kinda makes sense, since Batman is clearly living in the writers’ heads rent free.
    5
  1201. I honestly thought Biden has a speech impediment, due to whatever reason, so I see the mass media mockery as disrespectful. But the idea that, at this time, you’ve elected a President with reduced mental acuity kinda seems appropriate.
    5
  1202.  @swampdogdiggity not necessarily. I’m in the UK education sector and can tell you there’s a lot of home-schooled children who are, despite their parents’ claims to the contrary, rather thick. Some of these children are unable to hold a conversation.
    5
  1203. More carefully crafted misogyny.
    5
  1204. …or a career politician with his greedy eyes on free money.
    5
  1205.  @leoneddy1492  the RNLI is a voluntary organisation dedicated to saving lives at sea. They should not be "under orders" to do so...
    5
  1206. Yes, a fair trial. A genuinely fair trial…
    5
  1207. Should’ve used Head & Shoulders.
    5
  1208. Most of these scholars ain’t.
    5
  1209. It’s the usual flip-flop. The sheeple dutifully performed as expected.

  1210.  @randywise5241 I think you mean Klaus. I don’t think Santa is involved…
    5
  1211. Whoopi was a nice-looking young woman, actually. Nice smile. Quite nice personality, too. I guess not everything gets better over time.
    5
  1212. Heat pumps? All Scottish landlords will be installing underfloor heating? 🤣
    5
  1213. The mandrake (Arabic - master of the breath of life) is also referred to as the Deveil's testicle. You have no idea how really on point that joke was.
    5
  1214. My Gen Z son said just this morning that the gender agenda is a vehicle for fetishism - male fetishism.
    5
  1215. Shhhhhh…
    5
  1216. Abusers never care about their victims.
    5
  1217. As an Englishwoman, whose culture has been misappropriated and thoroughly trashed, I extend my thanks for your apology. Please raise a petition to send all those involved in this show over to the UK; we can provide accomodation in the Bloody Tower from where it's just a short walk to experiencing what really happened to medieval outlaws.
    5
  1218. No wonder he wanted Maggie’s portrait removed…
    5
  1219.  @ms.kabutokuwagata3204  vampirism?
    5
  1220. I, for one, am astonished that the humans did not ask the gender of each orc before they attacked them. And what if one of those female orcs was pregnant? Oh, the horror!
    5
  1221. It’s nothing up a set of computer programmes and follows rules created by humans. You’re surprised that it’s a propaganda tool? GIGO
    5
  1222. We’re writing a bunch of algorithms based on agendas and that’s not AI. As Sir Terry Pratchett noted, we’ll end up with Artificial Stupidity.
    5
  1223. I think we’re all aware that, when the biased press say “men”, they’re not referring to the locals.
    5
  1224. Look up Janissaries.
    5
  1225. The shaking might not have anything to do with being “poked with needles” - it could be a reaction to being removed from a known environment into an alien one. A lot of labs are against the abuse of their test animals, but they can’t be sure whether some staff might just be nasty, a bit like being anywhere in the world outside a lab.
    5
  1226. The majority of women aren’t fools, and our men aren’t weak.
    5
  1227. Our very own Kamala Harris!
    4
  1228.  @lamppuu1  of course not. That'd be silly, wouldn't it? rolls eyes
    4
  1229. The children (and women, to a lesser extent) taken into these “small boats” are the equivalent to an insurance policy or, if you will, a human shield. It’s rather odd that, when a boat gets into difficulties, there’s a child (or woman) who might - or actually does - drown.
    4
  1230. Hi, chaps! Don’t forget you’ve got a granny or two, a mother, possibly sisters, aunts, nieces, female cousins… Now, what were you saying about taking the vote from us?
    4
  1231. @derekwagstaff3044 nah, not a troll. A member of the Lord Haw-Haw Approved Narrative Unit.
    4
  1232. Grab a dictionary; look up the word “irregular” and consider the possible implications.
    4
  1233. The Brits could be the new Tamils.
    4
  1234. Ah, the civilising influence of mothers (on boys). My two can eat politely, speak nicely and duck preemptively.
    4
  1235. My home city has two flavours of gang, one a richer hue than the other. It’s possible they’re all young religious leaders training together, though.
    4
  1236. Not yet.
    4
  1237. Evans was the perfect fall guy - his history shows that - and Christie took advantage of it.
    4
  1238. Same here in the UK. I’m scared the incomers here will bring guns because we have none at all.
    4
  1239. Atoms are made up of a positive electrical charge surrounded by a shell (Hydrogen) or shells (all other elements) of negative electrical charge which give them certain properties and allow them to interact with other atoms. In effect, everything is made of nothing and sometimes it explodes. I’ve never quite recovered from my first nuclear chemistry class back in 1978.
    4
  1240.  @bromododragon2252  the risible 'fight' scene with Titania is proof that no man was ever allowed in. No heavy rain or mud, for a start...jk. That said, there's a lot of competent stuntwomen and lady writers who were not invited to contribute, either.
    4
  1241. Sir S is quite a windbag, isn’t he?
    4
  1242. Fingers crossed for you - we want our PM, Keir Starmer, to go, too.
    4
  1243. If we women stood together and said 'no', we'd be deemed some kind of -ist or whatever. Maybe f*wit-phobist? I can identify as f*wit-phobist.
    4
  1244. Did you know that a person on benefit must declare any care home stays, especially after previously spending 28 days or more in hospital, or be liable to prosecution? The state pension is, however, paid out in full, no matter the situation. Just saying.
    4
  1245. Good grief! Dear Mindy probably hasn’t even entered a bathroom allocated to men in a workplace. As premises manager, I did so for two years on a weekly check basis (plus extra visits to log the latest flood) and I still don’t want to know why the floor was sticky.
    4
  1246. I heard no strong language from Mr. Lowe. Was it the uncompromising call for justice which set her off? Maybe Starmer can get Lord Alli to buy her some Big Girl Pants.
    4
  1247. I’m just surprised the job hasn’t been handed to a man… sorry, transwoman.
    4
  1248. Above the law.
    4
  1249. But, my dear, there was. It’s what got us into this dark place.
    4
  1250. Really? I thought it was us Boomers who were the biggest problem.
    4
  1251. He’s a man firmly welded to the Law who doesn’t understand the concept of Justice.

  1252. Judge Amir Ali… Where was that $2 billion going, hm?
    4
  1253. Was he!?
    4
  1254. Trying to run daily checks on 40,000+ young men.
    4
  1255. A quisling works with an occupying enemy force. I wonder which one the Rt. Honourable gentleman is referring to?
    4
  1256. Was that Joe Biden wearing a Fetterman costume for Halloween?
    4
  1257. Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Our armed forces are so weak. No weapons. No resources. No men, and the men we have are all Woke. Oh, dear. Did you know that, before Sun Tzu’s (atttubuted) Art of War was translated into European languages, a certain Machiavelli wrote a treatise of the same title? Dear Niccolo points out that war is the last resort should politics fail, so it’s always best to keep your cards, as it were, close to your chest.
    4
  1258. Oh, come on! Be fair. There are hills in The Shire.
    4
  1259. Wish I'd been at SDCC and in that room... cue the horns.
    4
  1260. I work in Customer Service. I recall the good old days of being able to spell customers’ names and work out what they wanted (which wasn’t their “right” to everything free).
    4
  1261. If we leave it long enough, they can ban women from watching women’s sports and introduce a high rock from which to throw any woman daring to peek.
    4
  1262. Thank you. I’m absolutely floored by the number of people who don’t understand that actual humans are GIGO-ing this, probably “for the greater good”. So, as you can imagine, I’m still holding back on explaining transhumanism to them.
    4
  1263. Sometimes, people have rational fears and are able to explain why. The language manipulators call these fears unconscious bias; the term “phobia” does not apply. Hm.
    4
  1264. @richardtardo5170 in the early 1990s, a young work colleague protested that she hadn’t been promoted because [reasons]. Our bosses gracefully capitulated. Within six weeks, she was on sick leave with anxiety, and resigned four weeks later. Other staff who, emboldened by her initial win, had aired their own [reasons] suddenly decided they rather liked their current jobs…
    4
  1265. I believe Drinklage’s initial response to the Snow White announcement was spot on. That he ended up being attacked was due to selected out-of-context interpretations of what he really said (not untypical…). But Disney totally pwned itself.
    4
  1266. I can get behind Sauron fleeing after Melkor’s fall, perhaps doubting his choice, struggling to comprehend where it’s led him and, ultimately, realising he’s doomed himself, but the Amazon writers have never read Marlowe’s Faust let alone Tolkien.
    4
  1267. Oh, I say. There are no doubt many grass roots Labour supporters who are good people. And, when good people find out the leaders they trusted have betrayed them, their condemnation can end up being interestingly spectacular.
    4
  1268. Not all hospital administrators, please. Just those corrupt enough to see opportunities for their shareholders.
    4
  1269. You refer to MPs, of course.
    4
  1270. @Occident. you need to get out more and do a bit of reading!
    4
  1271. A lot of these articles focus on women, but men are getting plastic surgery, too!
    4
  1272. This explains why I’ve been mocked and vilified for pointing out that, irl, women are not in the habit of physically abusing men. Actually, I pointed out that the opposite was true… only it isn’t, anymore, apparently… I suspected the guy who argued the toss was in his late teens, maybe early 20s. The first time a woman tells him ‘no’, he’ll feel justified in back-handing her before she follows through and throws him a hundred yards down the street, through a plate-glass window and into a huge vat of soy milk.
    4
  1273. The transhumanism movement lurking on the fringes has some sci-fi ideas about genetic manipulation…
    4
  1274.  @lingricen8077  hell, they chased out all the possible good show-runners, male and female, alike. I have no idea what the current batch are… Pod People, perhaps?
    4
  1275. As long as no one forgets to ask about the sums of money pouring into English as a Second Language training facilities. That’s another sector where demand is outstripping availability.
    4
  1276. I understand some woodland trails have bear problems 🤔
    4
  1277. We are the hope for future generations. It’s going to get unpleasant but, heck, that’s the Hero’s Journey for you.
    4
  1278. Oh, I thought you were going to say Islam.
    4
  1279. I’ll bet every Conservative council that tried to get an election skip this year has been refused 🤔
    4
  1280. Christian values being brought back to the world alongside those of all honest religions.
    4
  1281. They have the right of appeal. If it’s lodged, they cannot be arrested and deported. During the grace period, many simply disappear and that’s that.
    4
  1282. I’ve never heard of a Faar Right anarchist. Funny, that 🤔
    4
  1283. About 30 years ago, I realised that my new husband was a total feminist when I watched him not put up a shelf. I replastered and repainted the wall, then hung the shelf for him. Perhaps it would’ve been more appropriate to hang him, but hindsight is a wonderful thing.
    4
  1284. I do think you’re confusing the actor, who signed a contract years ago, with the writers, who created this rubbish. Then again, who knows if the original script was actually great until KK ‘saved’ it in her usual way.
    4
  1285. I’m sure there will be comedians who self-identify as women on stage at every gig going forwards. And I don’t mean traditional drag artists. You’ll recognise them by their opening threat to get every audience member who doesn’t laugh at their “jokes” arrested for hurting their feelings.
    4
  1286. I think I’d probably up the ante with a full on fu.
    4
  1287.  @smelltheglove2038 I think your internalised misogyny is showing.
    4
  1288.  @QueSeraSeraaaa then, by your contention, all men today are sober and sane? How old are you?
    4
  1289. We need more nerds and nerdesses to stand behind that line in the sand, smile, and say: go Woke, go broke.
    4
  1290. The Palace of Westminster is a lovely old building.
    4
  1291. Isn’t he an embarrassment? But never mind. Labour can use him as proof that monitoring social media and phones is an absolute must in modern Britain. Luckily, he confessed and has promised to do better, so no need for gaol for a non-crime.
    4
  1292. Biden has an excuse, but I guess Harris could just plead insanity.
    4
  1293. Electric cars will save the environment! 🙄
    4
  1294. Cognitive dissonance.
    4
  1295. At last I’m not crying alone in the wilderness! Welcome, but don’t eat the mushrooms.
    4
  1296. Completely allowed as the sentiment is approved by the authorities.
    4
  1297. ‘Barbarism is the natural state of mankind," the borderer said, still staring somberly at the Cimmerian. "Civilization is unnatural. It is a whim of circumstance. And barbarism must always ultimately triumph.’ - R.E.Howard, Beyond the Black River, published May 1935. That’s always been supposed to mean that the barbarian must win but, if civilisation is a whim - a veneer - who is the barbarian?
    4
  1298. Don’t forget the Africans now arriving in the UK.
    4
  1299. Cromwell? That bloke who named himself Lord Protector, behaved like a dictator, and whose corpse was “executed” for treason to the cheers of the people who suffered under his rule?

  1300. Russia would not benefit by the destabilisation of the world’s political status quo.

  1301. V for Vendetta.

  1302. I rather fancy a set of matching alligator luggage. Shame it’ll be red.
    4
  1303. Answer is: no. But the future is probably going to be messy.
    4
  1304. I’m in the UK: rents are out of whack in London, but NYC is beyond crazy. Loads of Americans must be living in what’s usually referred to as 3rd world poverty or has your government-run press come up with a nicer-sounding euphemism?
    4
  1305. I’ve been ghosted too many times, I’m pretty sure I’m a ghost. The ouija board summons me only when someone needs something of me.
    4
  1306. Don’t be so negative. There’s still more of us than them.
    4
  1307.  @JoFa876 more like: don’t Narcissist all over the gravy train.
    4
  1308. I’m a native Midlander. I’m a minority in my own city. Does this mean I’m underrepresented?
    4
  1309. Oh, ffs! The PM has to approach the Crown to request that the monarch dissolves Parliament. The last King to actually stand up and issue the order - Charles I - did so three times during his reign. This eventually started the English Civil War which ended with him getting his noggin chopped off.
    4
  1310. On my recent 62nd birthday, my grinning 23 year-old son presented me with a rather rude brooch and a big Fraggle Rock badge.
    4
  1311. Masculine, feminine and neuter. Indeed, yes.
    4
  1312. Starscream is the Decepticon Queen in my Transformers chess set; this used to be okay by me (and other TFans who know their lore) but now I’m wondering if that means my chess set is racist?
    4
  1313. The vocal few are finally starting to realise that they might’ve silenced the majority but haven’t managed - though they’ve tried - to force obedient groupthink.
    4
  1314.  @manganime1893  I’d suggest your mother isn’t practicing ‘toxic positivity’, but is scared as all hell. She knows the danger of her situation very well, especially as she’s been physically abused in the past... Please reach out to her, don’t heckle or judge, but tell her you’re there if she needs you and be there when she does.
    4
  1315.  @Mereologist which is great for Disparu.
    4
  1316. Goodness: no! If Starmer backs up Zalensky - and spouts off about our troops being sent over to Ukraine - Russia could justifiably challenge GB’s interference.
    4
  1317. There’s one main reason for overtime: not enough staff to cope with the workload.
    4
  1318.  @steveos5112  please, no, not those labels. This Woke are mean little bullies with self-esteem issues trying to control everything by sulking, spitting and demanding sweeties. Their political or social leanings are irrelevant- they’re the kid who, unable to demand your lunch money by waving a fist, snitched and lied in order to watch those s/he hated get punished by a gullible authority.

  1320. Remember the opening song to Storybook International… “Many names have I, and many faces…”?

  1321. That’s small beer. The US Dems were sending $40 million to Hamax every week!
    4
  1322. Apparently, the Earth is going to change polarity immanently and we’re all doomed. Apparently, global warming is to blame.
    4
  1323. ⁠ @softsophisticate my parents both worked, because we needed the money. My Grandma, who lived with us, raised me. I wish my mother or mother-in-law had been well enough to care for our boys while my hubby and I went to earn a living. The working classes didn’t have luxuries like stay-at-home mothers back in the day, and they don’t now.

  1324. @Blah81150 excuse me? You are completely out of order, sneering like this.
    4
  1325. This crew really have it in for the elderly, don’t they? The elderly who were born post-WWII and lived their childhood in austerity, worked hard for their pensions and their homes (bought or rented), and are now considered disposable because a lot of non-British men want their homes.
    4
  1326. The latest term is “irregular migrants” as in “irregular forces”.
    4
  1327. In one word: corruption.

  1328. Badly out of G1 proportion, but that's Transformers!

  1329. How very dare you slag off Max!

  1330. I’m so glad this little bundle of love was given the home-life he deserves, but it makes you wonder what those who had hurt him are capable of doing to an equally vulnerable child.
    4
  1331. Standard tactics employed by irregular forces.
    4
  1332. @MarkPearce-u7m spot on. My late parents stopped supporting Labour thanks to dear old Harold… I can’t imagine how they’d feel about Starmer.
    4
  1333. Ah, rat on a stick. Better get the tomato ketchup in, peeps!
    4
  1334. I learned elsewhere that a law banning the ownership of machetes came into effect recently. Same law banned zombie knives, which seems a bit silly as the walking dead don’t generally stab someone before eating them. Anyway, said law may be invoked by stating Section 60, stop and search protocols. I believe that, so far, no one waving a machete (or a zombie with a knife) has been arrested.
    4
  1335. There’s justice, and then there’s the law. The former cannot prevail when the latter is corrupt.

  1336.  @sidraMPatty  book removed from school libraries for its hate speech, white male privilege and anti-pig species sentiments, k?

  1337. As an INTP woman, I completely agree. I feel no sympathy for histronics.

  1338. Read the Ramayana!

  1339. When it’s marinaded, coated in batter and deep fried, it’s difficult to distinguish between Chicken of the Woods and real chicken. Honestly. - a vegetarian 🤭

  1340. Serious question: is the indoctrination aimed only at one social demographic or skin colour? Any stats?
    4
  1341. Until someone speaks out against their extremist viewpoint, of course.
    4
  1342. Because no one can mention the trade as carried out by certain peaceful religious people.
    4
  1343. So now we know. Leo: did that self-identified trans-female really threaten to report the nurse for homophobia? Hm, surely the threat should’ve been transphobia? 🤔
    4
  1344.  M Yev  polyamorous? Doesn't that mean you breed parrots?

  1345. At least Cromwell had the chutzpah to cancel Christmas like a man rather than via Budget.
    4
  1346. These vehicles are patently flown by Cybertronians, probably from the Decepticon faction, hunting for energon. I blame Shockwave.
    4
  1347. The great prophet adopted the Pentateuch in an attempt to convince the Patriarchs that they should help him overthrow the rulers of Persia. After those wise men said no, the prophet decided he didn’t like them.
    4
  1348. What grandkids? Trans is removing that problem for any proposed foreign takeover.
    4
  1349. As my Dad used to say: them as can, do - them as can’t, coddy. Anyway, there’s good and bad workers in every industry. The civil service isn’t unique; just ring up an insurance claims line or complain about a shoddy product…

  1350.  @apocalypticexcavator5454  removing the fleshy part of the nose provides handy access to the vomer bone, but would that be strong enough to thread a thin rope through?

  1351. Adds a whole new depth to: “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”

  1352. Having experienced years of management standing in front of various Flipcharts, I naturally assumed anyone standing in front of a whiteboard was also self-delusional.

    4
  1358. Now, we wait. It all comes down to ideology vs profit.
    4
  1359.  @rickhart6631  I'd just say: don't screw with the endocrine system. Giving hormones to alter the function of testes and ovaries will also impact on the pituitary, hypothalamus etc. and the results will not be very good.

  1360. At some point, then, no women will be in sport at all? It’s going to be a fine line. Personally, I want to see transwomen gymnasts on the bar 😂

  1362. I had to seek help at A&E when the doctors last went on strike. The place was practically empty, I was in triage almost immediately, and seen by a paramedic about 10 minutes later. Diagnosed, prescribed antibiotics, given a one month sick note (pleurisy Is Not Fun), and away. Just two days prior, the place was jam-packed with persons what ye wot of, and triage took a bit over an hour. A rather dismissive doctor saw me about three hours later; being over 60 and complaining of breathing problems, I was a “priority” case, apparently.
    4
  1363. Oh, you saw a 2024 Pride flag? Damn thing on display in a shop gave me instant migraine.
    4
  1364. The classic Narcissist? Even if we’re not certain, McCarthy was definitely somewhere on that Dark Triad.
    4
  1365. No more irregulars then? The young men’s army can arrive in comfort with all kit to hand! Starmer is a a collaborator.

  1367. It should be okay. Allegedly, it’s an approved way of transing away the gay.

  1373. Every time, despite the price of petrol.
    4
  1374. I think there are. They’re caught between several large rocks and a hard place. I actually feel sorry for the good ones because they daren’t put their heads over the parapet, so will take the fall for Starmer.
    4
  1375. Nah, I’m not buying him a drink. He’s richer than me.
    4
  1376. A complete and sudden personality reversal cannot happen overnight. How old is this unusual friend?
    4
  1377. One word: disingenuous.
    4
  1378. Firstly, some of those bystanders were probably worried about the naughty men having concealed sharp and pointy objects. Secondly, there are more of non-Brits around. Thirdly, the victim and any who helped could be done for an ism. Welcome to GB and the grass roots reality of multicultural 2-tier justice.
    4
  1379. I haven’t watched tv for over twenty years. Lucky escape, then.

  1380. Please release this movie in UK. We have a glorious comedy history of men dressing as women, from the panto dame to drag artists in men-only private clubs.

  1381. Pointless drawing a silly ‘tache and beard though… Funny glasses 👍

  1382. What makes you even imagine that this is going to end in mass deportation? There’s an awful lot of nastiness going to happen before those left over decide to flee…

  1384. She'd have spewed word salad and cackled.
    4
  1385. David Lammy MP: born 19th July 1972 at Whittington Hospital to Guyanese parents. Although Guyana is in South America, it’s more often considered, and treated as, part of the Caribbean. Mainly descendants of slaves freed after the Dutch ceded the area to Britain in 1813 (the Slavery Abolition Act 1833 freed any remaining slaves in the colonies), Africans make up the second largest ethnic group. Firstly, Lammy should be lambasting the Netherlands, not Britain; secondly, it’s a blatant self-serving grift.
    4
  1386. Er, the first English mosque was erected during the Medieval period in Hull, serving seamen delivering goods to the port. Interestingly, several non-white seamen who died of illness or injury, most likely at the local church hospice, were buried in consecrated Christian soil. As for sinking boars mid-channel, I believe the Twrch Trwyth didn’t get that far (and made it safely to land anyway). Sorry… couldn’t resist. I guess autocorrect got that poster.

  1387. They want to keep the hose that lays the golden eggs, not choke it.
    4
  1388. If one of these scammers claims to be a child, the kid gloves (how appropriate!) go on and the RNLI - among many organisations - are instantly tied in a lot of red tape. Blame those happy to support these so-called children: politicians and Leftwhinge handwringers. Anyway, you’re forgetting how useful a “child” onboard is if the wretched small boat sinks or gets intercepted.
    4
  1389. Two Conservative councils near my home area have been told they must hold elections. I’ll bet it’s Labour councils which get the pass this year.
    4
  1390.  @Francisco23997  yet, if I were to act on my feelings, they'd put me in jail... but at least I'd have distressed a whole lot of snowflakes first.

  1391. Watch out, Simon. There’s Pro-Palestinians responding to this message and denying truth yet again!
    4
  1392. Poll tax on top of reviewed Council Tax, too.
    4
  1393.  @renardfox328  and this is why I didn't stay in academia. Mind you, the same midset prevails in the business sector.
    4
  1394. I was going to write a reply stating there was nothing transphobic about this game but, luckily, I Woke up and cancelled it.
    4
  1395. Legislation came into force on 27th February 2023 in the UK raising the age of marriage (of any kind) or cohabitation to 18. This was in response to the ongoing problem of children and young teens being exploited, forced, threatened or kidnapped for the purpose of marriage, whether the grounds are social, religious or economic; it also closes a loophole which has permitted sex traffickers to escape prosecution by claiming young teens are in a consensual relationship, since those targeted may not be aware of their real situation, being too young to understand how they are being abused. And the President of the United States - God bless America - is saying it’s fine to drug and/or mutilate children and young teens because they’re so self-aware they can make an informed decision. Well done, sir!

  1396. @spezzington conveniently, the day Trump takes office.

  1397.  @equatorialjourney4478 hello, troll. I take it your cave is lined with participation awards?
    4
  1398. @DJRockford83 it is a nasty thought, isn’t it? I suppose a lot of people throughout history thought the same just before they decided they could cope with the guilt.
    4
  1399. And even more destructive…
    4
  1400. If only that was petting a bull while outrunning a bear, maybe I'd believe you...
    4
  1401.  @kerie8614  yay! Another ‘go get ‘em girls’ call! Maybe we don’t like being punched in the face by a man in a dress and trapped in a locked room for three hours while the police try to help the poor man who hurt his fist?
    4
  1402. Rwanda, too.
    4
  1403. Feminism was originaly a call for equal pay for equal work AND equal respect. All the people now decrying feminism as the root cause of this Woke twaddle need to stop following the Pied Piper down the rabbit hole.
    4
  1404. Keep an eye on the USA. Interesting times ahead.
    4
  1405. Ugh. That old sleight of hand. It’ll be “we didn’t do the horrible things which we threatened” while simultaneously instituting rules a good deal more prescriptive than those already in place.
    4
  1406. The AI we are talking about isn’t the classic AI of sci-fi. It’s not HAL-9000 but, rather, a very fast search and compile engine that couldn’t pass the Turing Test because it’s not being designed to do so. Imagine a future where the whole of the internet is controlled by one entity which allows only one narrative - the dystopian dream of the tyrant.
    4
  1407. My youngest son, dabbling with Woke, became disenchanted when an influencer he followed advised that transgender surgery altered genes. He was actually banned for standing up to this unalienable truth!
    4
  1408. If oxygen masks are deployed on an aeroplane, you’re advised to take care of yourself first, then attend to children and anyone else unable to shrift for themselves…
    4
  1409. Yes, with more insistence on talking and supportive therapies. In other words, now the Tavistock has gone, we’re going back to the good old days of mental health care. There’s still the operations available, of course, but I trust they’re only made available to those very, very few who genuinely suffer from rare genetic issues.
    4
  1410. What a load of disingenuous chicken nuggets, as it were.
    4
  1411. I worked as a job-broker. We had jobs from employers and spoke to prospective applicants. At no stage were we responsible for the job content except when it broke guidelines (the job was potentially illegal or immoral or both). If customers didn’t wish to apply for a job with a company they disliked, they didn’t cancel us and make a song-and-dance about it.
    4
  1412. My late father used to say: “You can smack an Englishman once, and you can smack him twice, but, by God, never then kick his dog.” He was, of course, referring to Luke 6:29, but with the rejoinder not to push your luck and, right now, a lot of badly behaved, intolerant and cruel people are actively putting on their boots. I fear we shall soon be living in interesting times.
    4
  1413. It’s a form of com-mune-ism created by a very warped philosopher named Herbert Marcuse (just one of a pretty bad lot referred to as the Frankfurt School). He promoted the oppressed-oppressor narrative and, basically, what we now call Wokeism. I’ve never been one for philosophical discourse - it always seemed a lot of complex ways to say something obvious - but I learned of this Herbert recently. I’m going to make further exploration of his cant.

  1414. Sheer fluffin' hubris.
    4
  1415. Looks like a one-off incident, the perp having mental health problems 🤔
    4
  1416. It’s $1000 in NYC and across many US cities. Although anyone caught is just told off and set free. No gaol spaces, see?
    4
  1417. 😂🤣😂
    4
  1418. My bus route to work takes me through a council estate. It’s been fascinating to watch the change in demographic joining me each morning or strolling through the streets. Over the last five years I’ve experienced Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Vietnam, and the Ivory Coast (they spoke French). Now, it’s Nigerians and, possibly, Somalians.
    4
  1419. This is DEI in operation.
    4
  1420. I have no worries on that score. Neither of my adult sons can afford to find love, pay rent or a mortgage, or even consider the costs of raising children.
    4
  1421. Yes, my b-I-l said it with pride. He thinks Starmer is the bee’s knees. BTW he’s, as they say, on the spectrum.
    4
  1422. A decade or two ago, I came to the conclusion that, although holy books are quoted, those quoting them are very freely interpreting the words for their own purposes. Like ancient kings facing their mortality, they ease their fear of death and losing control of the living by having their kindred, servants and enemies slain.
    4
  1423. Communism.

  1424. Oh, lord! They’re not flying them all to the UK, are they!?!

  1425. I’ve interacted with my share of village idiots irl and online thanks.

  1426. @ScratchySlide Some women are logicians. That scares the heck out of people who are looking to play on our emotions.
    4
  1427. I admired Chapek for his neutrality statement, but then he bowed the knee to politics. A handful of staff? I think not; there’s more behind what happened and we’re not going to find out for years… or until it’s too late.
    4
  1428.  @brettbuttars2792  that’s a non sequitur.
    4
  1429. Two Gen Z sons voting Reform.

  1430. Happy Day!
    4
  1431.  @danielaraya2423  but the writers/producers could have read the rest of the printed works and taken aboard a few important things to inform their script. Used to be called 'research' back in my day!
    4
  1432.  @mikelmcknight72  I was thinking ‘agitators’ but, yeah, propagandists is probably pithier.
    4
  1433. I still like the term “irregulars”. You know: as in soldiers sent to infiltrate a population.
    4
  1434. There’s only one source for such lockstep propaganda. Hint: it’s unelected bodies.
    4
  1435. I remember a CGI recreation of what happened at Pompeii and, specifically, Herculaneum. When the pyroclastic flow hit, people in the street were simultaneously fried and smashed, mere dismembered skeletons. The narrator likened it to a nuclear ground zero. But the writers: nah, it’ll be fine.
    4
  1436.  @susanplatt5331 it was a life support he had designed to save mutated Kaleds. It wasn’t a wheelchair, but it’s fair to say Davros is half-Dalek.
    4
  1437. It’s a protection racket!!!
    4
  1438. There may not be a series three - most streaming shows end at season two although some go on and on repeating the same drivel until everyone disowns them.
    4
  1439.  @alaricsoto1  I'll check in with Disparu!
    4
  1440. I can think of a few that could be used, but YT would ban me for 24 hours.

  1441.  @samphadhavihara4035  yup, that's the thing, and I am aware of it. Fortunately, I do not value his opinion and I will not be watching RoP.

  1442.  @creepyoldlady2995  both nerds, but not as nerdy as me due to my longer nerd experience.
    4
  1443. This is Equity in operation. Sucks, doesn’t it?
    4
  1444. Oh, I get those plus ones informing me why I should swap my religion to a more peaceful one.
    4
  1445. Me: I blame Ronan - an outlaw at the time - for really escalating Kree-Skrull tensions into war, especially as he was planning on ‘devolving’ all life on Earth, which he wanted to use as his war platform. Although, to be fair, the Skrulls were already threatening to blow up Hala, the Kree home world.
    4
  1446. I'm not replying to you all - thank you for your comments - but I shall stick with my decision and allow that you have a perfect right to stick with your own. Please don't mock or insult anyone choosing to wear a mask at this time, because they have the option to do so in the US. Athough wearing several - while in a car alone - and carrying a cattleprod is rather excessive.
    4
  1447. Heck, my children have both decided to vote Reform. As it stands, they can't afford a home of their own, they can't afford to find a marriage partner, and they cetainly can't afford to raise children.
    4
  1448. I assure you that gaslighters of all ilks are more often aware of what they’re doing than not. And some will use calculated implied threats, if not actual violence, to reinforce their control if they perceive that their madness-inducing tricks are failing. Otherwise, this is a textbook expose of the bar studs 👍
    4
  1449. It’s important to realise that Halle’s ‘comments’ were probably pre-written by a Disney hack who hadn’t seen the interview or her reaction. It’s just the same, tired old negatives. In fact, the composer of this standard diatribe has just created an international incident!
    4
  1450. Santa isn’t going to like that, is he?
    4
  1451. I bet that smarted.

  1452. Ah, a lady from Tibet, I presume?

  1453. It is an interesting observation.

  1454. Nah. They watched the Robyn Hood series from Director X, didn’t they?

  1455. Our cat will lie down, push her head into a shoe and go still. We think she thinks she’s hiding.

  1457. 😂😂😂 glad to see the old terminology is still hanging on.
    4
  1458. Shhhh…. you’ll give the game away.
    4
  1459. @lhurst9550 when your standard of living is already low, where do you go? The minimum wage was a cynical device instituted to keep workers - even skilled and experienced workers - on the breadline. Oh, and to keep them voting Labour, the party which pushed for the minimum wage…
    4
  1460. They have no morals.
    4
  1461. Hello from the UK! Joining us in perdition, I see.

  1462. The US did, and paid out a lot more, until recently!

  1463. Well, at least Chibnall remembered the Master's compression weapon... I'll give him one point, but that only leaves him at negative 999...

  1464. How dare you assume the gender of the wearer?

  1465. Hamlet-quoting Dinobot - I weep every time I watch Code of Hero. Why do I watch that episode? It's so good...
    3
  1466. One of my adult sons didn’t vote. He has no photo ID and refused to get a temporary ID online as - as he put it - it’s a scam to find out who’s escaped the net. He has no reason to buy a passport and, so far, no inclination to learn to drive. I’m willing to bet that a lot of Brits who didn’t vote have no photo ID and/or no access to the internet. That’s disenfranchisement by the back door!
    3
  1467. You know that female cats are called queens, don’t you?
    3
  1468. The 'problem' with people gaining powers and the consequences thereof has long been explored in Marvel and so is nothing new in this 'She-Hulk'. I shall not be watching this series; I have the original She-Hulk comics in my loft, thanks.

  1469.  @auvet1986  sorry, I’m centre right.

  1471. @soomysaleem351 don’t know much about continued use of sacred sites in Northern Europe, hm? Completely different situation to that of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem…
    3
  1472. Yo! I’m Polaris! Pew-pew!
    3
  1473. That reminds me… My ex will no doubt be shortly advising me that the tv licence is due. The set hasn’t been able to receive signals for over five years, just used for DVDs, but he kept paying. Did I mention that he’s my ex?
    3
  1474. That’s the word: psyop. But I think it backfired on the extreme Left. Now we know they’re really pretty pathetic.

  1475.  @Mangaka-ml6xo  sorry - Ambusson is a type of large flat rug woven in the city of that name in France. Very expensive.

  1476. But the big question has to be: is Trump going to bring home the sausages? Hello from 🇬🇧

  1477. And a lot of politicians across the EU, Canada, Australia, and GB.
    3
  1478. ⁠ @apinakapina it’s happened many times, in many wars, especially to scare survivors who were reluctant to return to the front, or to motivate unwilling soldiers. The word ‘decimination’ came from the practice.
    3
  1479. And the Scottish NHS can “affirm” it.
    3
  1480. Don’t forget Ciss and Ada (The Two Ronnies). They dressed far more elegantly than a lot of very tarty modern drag queens. Although some of Ru Paul’s queens were spectacular designers and female impersonators.

  1481.  @clsanchez77  best comment in this thread 😂
    3
  1482. I can think of a few options, such as a wing-mirror, or a tyre/wheel arch combo, or the body being dragged at speed. The circumstances would, however, have to be unusually specific. Besides, if the authorities had recovered the deceased at the scene of the accident, did they assume they had a coluinn gunn cheann?

  1483. Peach milk tea with lychee boba 😋

  1484.  @TheFourthEmperorOfTheSea  I’m in England. My small city - we still refer to it as a town 😜 - has five good tea shops and a smattering of others I’ve not visited. Sorry, I can’t send any virtually.

  1485. Late comment but: where are the elephants and the turtle in those flat earth models?
    3
  1486.  @andreavp463 I refer to any religious mythology as separate from its associated theology. The first arises from everyday people realising creation is pretty damn awesome, the latter from structured discourse by enlighten holy men in funny clothing who decide the system of approved belief and sanction the murder of those who don’t agree.
    3
  1487. UK law simply calls it breaking and entering.
    3
  1488. I really, really don’t like Donald Trump - never could stand Billy Graham, either - or Greville Janner - but, if he wins the election, I feel I’ll quite enjoy watching consequences visited on the current Labour government.
    3
  1489.  @louiethepitt  it’s not an adaptation. Amazon’s banner clearly states that it’s based on the works of JRR. Which made me smile. I am looking forwards to them including snippets from his glorious translations of Beowulf, The Pearl and Sir Orfeo.
    3
  1490. Fine, but the levels need to be monitored and adjusted regularly as, I believe, too much testosterone for men 60+ can lead to faster aging.

  1491.  @dcmoore8937  no, because that’s catering to their delusions and fetishes. The proponents would feel empowered to push societal boundaries even further towards breaking point.
    3
  1492. Are you suggesting that the media conspired to bury the real news... or just the bodies?
    3
  1493. That was an invasion, yes? Where were the troops repelling it with suitable armaments?

  1494.  @Sasquatch3358  I was thinking more of a 'magic bullet'.

  1495. Family is going to the Nottingham Christmas market 2024 (I really miss Lincoln 😢). We went to Birmingham last year; outside the main market area, there were so many groups of men hanging around after dark, it felt uncomfortable.
    3
  1496. About that… Paris really is burning.
    3
  1497. I wish. As the main wage-earner, I was back at work as soon as possible - got to pay the mortgage! - while my other half (now my ex) went part-time. We needed two incomes to stay afloat and his went down less than mine would have…. This was the late 1990s, btw.
    3
  1498. It’s the standard Marxist agenda, I’m afraid. We Brits aren’t to blame, btw. We’re used to politely following the law and making adjustments for the underdog. However, when we do decide things are no longer acceptable…

  1499. Are those protesting for open borders under individual investigation? Sure, many will turn out to have the intelligence of concussed rabbits, but someone is coordinating them! Hi from 🇬🇧

  1500. Pockets are being lined: the rich getting richer.

  1501. I thought it was a Golden Snitch prior to activation.

  1502. When I told my husband about ‘sensitivity readers’ and their desecration of texts, that is effectively censoring the past, he was completely uninterested until I said that Fleming’s Bond series is now being redacted ‘for the modern audience’. He was horrified and said that he’s glad he has the whole lot in paperback. I added that Dahl is getting this treatment, too, and he was outraged. Finally! He’s started to wake up to the insidious Woke agenda!
    3
  1503. Wake up! We can’t be pushed into a state led by a Dear Leader if there’s a monarchy, even a depowered one, hanging around. A monarch can become a figurehead (or martyr) for traditionalists who might fight back.

  1504. I wouldn’t be surprised if the new recruits can’t locate a any men who came here by small boat.

  1505. @MetalHeart8787 the smelt is a common fish except where, in some parts of the US, it’s been put on the endangered species list - go figure.

  1506. As a longtime Wolverine fan (from his first appearance in The Hulk), I went along to see the Weapon-X related story onscreen because… Hugh Jackman is such a good actor ‘naturally’ hem-hem.

  1510. My youngest son turned to me when he was four and asked: what were you like when you were a little boy, Mamma? I was, and continue to be, what is called a tomboy. Thank goodness I'm over 60! This unbelievable legislation is frightening in its wider, political implications.
    3
  1511. My 23 y-o artist son, who dyes his hair all sorts of colours (it’s currently silver-grey) is frequently asked if he’s a girl, to which he usually replies, sarcastically, what do you think? That, he tells me, engenders either embarrassed apologies or raw terror. He’s 6’ tall. He also advises me that teal hair indicates Wokeness and green means you identify with The Joker. Avoid these colours at all costs.

  1512.  @DestroytheEUSSR you just noticed that our King is a fool?

  1513. Only to grant themselves power against any “Far Right” objectors.

  1514.  @msimms-lp5qw  then what it is? Plain old-fashioned me-first tyranny?
    3
  1515. I imagine Starmer’s lot are already offshoring huge sums, stuffing mattresses, and shredding receipts.
    3
  1516. I’ll never forget the Physics grad who stared at me in confusion when I asked about his intended career. He replied: get my Masters, then my Doctorate. So, I asked him what job he was aiming for with his Doctorate, and he replied: physicist. Definitely no idea about the real world, so I guess he was some sort of theoretician.
    3
  1517.  @dayoffnow  oh, if that is the case, that begs the question why Biden and he are on campaign at all.
    3
  1518. We probably don’t have to worry about any seasons beyond one and two - all the money is going on influencing the influencers. Maybe… maybe that’s why so many modern series get cancelled after two seasons? 🤔

  1519. @ the King does NOT have the power to dissolve government q.v. my previous reply.

  1520. Grab popcorn, people. And, possibly, loo rolls.

  1521. Said it before: if NYC was able to convert office buildings into flats, would there be enough services and work to support the new residents? And who would those residents be hem-hem?
    3
  1522. I grew up during the same period and learned that families could live on one wage. By the time I came to marry, that was no longer true.
    3
  1523. I’m anticipating tofu dreg housing to meet Labour’s demands.
    3
  1524. Back in my day we had O-Level grade ‘U’ which supposedly meant ‘ungraded’, but we just referred to it as ‘useless’.
    3
  1525. Mentioned that Woke is feet-ish-ist and my post was removed. 'nuffzed.
    3
  1526. The term “carol” has become synonymous with Christmas hymns but it actually means, simply, “song”, particularly a happy song, possibly a round, and it might be something people may dance to.
    3
  1527. The Privy Council and the Law Lords are essential.. but the PM being a Sir and a lawyer does seem most odd.

  1529. I'd dispute that Leftwhingers are smarter. They're actually just louder, like empty pots.

  1530. Labour - our version of the Democrats - won’t be elected again, either. Hopefully, the EU will be outed as a huge fraud system soon, too.

  1531. Some of the interview episodes are very interesting, given he's talking to some very important people who have been sidelined by the powers that be.
    3
  1532. Will llama farmers be acting, too? Then we’ll have a Starmer Llama Farmer Karma Drama! 🤪 It’s no joke, though. This could get really serious for us, the public, and ugly for Starmer and his cronies.

  1533. Whippets are really quick on their paws but Nori? That’s unbelievable! She’s also got a great Wallace and Gromit smile.

  1537. The entitled bully’s handbook is still the same whether it’s DV or an extreme political regime. Gaslighting, insinuations, word-salad, DARVO, fear, rage, threats, actual violence… I suspect the bitter experiences of anyone who has witnessed or suffered scapegoating is well aware of what’s going on at large.
    3
  1538. Everyone who believes in the concepts of good/evil, truth/lies and justice/injustice is engaging in a kind of religious faith. Welcome to the human race.

  1540. The Thugs were Kali devotees; the general UK population aren’t. So, yes: misinformation.
    3
  1541. And there I thought “neurodivergent” was the in-thing.
    3
  1542. Back in the day, not so long ago, women were warned not to go out in provocative clothing in case men assaulted them. But it takes two to tango and men unable to control themselves are the other half of the equation. Remember, young girls in school uniform are provocative, as are nuns or older women in twin-set and pearls, to some fringe males…
    3
  1543. Any anti-small boat systems, Mr Putin?
    3
  1544. During the 1990s, one of my managers developed familial gout. He often lamented that it wasn’t fair: he’d never overindulged in posh food - like this scrumptious venison - or casks of premium wine, and never would have a chance. Mind you, he was a Real Ale connoisseur 😉
    3
  1545. The parties gaining ground in Europe started out exactly this way. I just feel we’re about 15 years behind and no time to catch up, although a few “peaceful celebrations” might make a few sheeple baa in concernation.
    3
  1546.  @vuchaser99 nope, not cognitive dissonance; that entirely a different thing. The word you need is ‘ignorance’.

  1547. FFS stop having a go at the RNLI. It’s a charity dedicated to saving lives at sea. Remember this next time you’re drifting off to America on your li-lo.

  1549. Not only disgusting, but ill-advised.

  1550. My hair remains mousey brown at almost 63. On the other hand, younger people around me are grey or balding or both; can’t think what the common factor causing this might be 🤪

  1551. Scuttlebutt has it that Scoobi is Norville’s love interest, a poc girl (but who knows…?).
    3
  1552. There’s got to be an acronym in there somewhere…
    3
  1553. The WEF policy behind this is Reducing the Surplus Population. You know, the thing Scrooge refers to. Look it up…
    3
  1554. Everything said here confirms that the gender confusion movement is a conscious and direct response to #MeToo. When women began openly challenging the social tendency to deny or excuse the behaviour of abusive men, the gloves came off. What we’re experiencing is gaslighting on an industrial scale.
    3
  1555. It’s a pity those unisex uniforms aren’t in Scotland. The NHS up there, welded to gender ideology, could “affirm” the gentlemen and make those trousers fit like a glove.
    3
  1556. Wow! Rich horses!
    3
  1557. That’s okay. I’m English and England is special to me. I don’t need your positive affirmations.

  1558.  @jamesboyle6134  I have inherited my mother-in-law’s home cookbook, written by her mother around the 1920s, and carrots are used in the traditional pud to provide a substantial amount of sweetness and moisture. No potatoes, though!
    3
  1559. No. A lot of people aren’t laughing because they know they’re looking at a microcosm of what’s happening across the West.

  1562. Plans for the island? Huge launch pad for Chinese IBMs.
    3
  1563. Good luck, my American cousins. I’m pretty sure we’ll get a Labour government next and be chasing you down that rabbit hole.
    3
  1564. Starmer is, in effect, blaming everyone in the UK who voted for Brexit as engendering the “experiment”. He’s extracting the urine.
    3
  1565. Definitions of Christianophobia, Hinduphobia, Buddhistphobia, Sikhphobia, Jainphobia, Ba’haiphobia, Taophobia etc etc to follow, one assumes?
    3
  1566.  @firsteerr  I’m not sure it’s virtue signalling. Fear may be a significant factor.

  1567.  @firsteerr  I’m old enough to give a damn.
    3
  1568. …and enforced by the law and shame.
    3
  1569. Putting us on a war footing despite Trump nipping that stupidity in the bud? What’re you up to, Labour Party?
    3
  1570. Yup, if we ever manage to create AI at all, it’ll be in our own image. How that reflects on God depends on your personal beliefs.
    3
  1571.  @edwardx4979  we are trying to create AI, but what we have now is an advanced search and compilation engine for users which includes viewers of platforms like YouTuibe, FaceBok, Tik-Tok etc. The scary part isn't that computers (programmed by people) will gain consciousness and self-determination, but that they will impact on human creativity and original thought until , over time, everything is reduced to a finite set of perameters. Then there are people with agendas who could control and influence outputs i.e. to spread advertising or propaganda. AI could be the epitome of GIGO - garbage in, garbage out.
    3
  1572. Funny thing. Every time someone asks a Labour MP to give a definitive answer to an important question, they go off into tangential non-committal word-salad land. Can’t imagine where they got this tendency from…
    3
  1573. Why does everyone insist on using the terms 'she' or 'her' in relation with this... er... No wonder the Woke need to create pronouns. Edit: I have been concerned that the whole agenda here is to attack the rights of women, especially by removing the vote. JP has just clarified that this is indeed one option if the 19th Amendment has to be withdrawn due to linguistic tortology.
    3
  1574.  @zionleach3001  being labelled is a badge of honour these days. It means you’ve upset a SJW.
    3
  1575. It’s a wholly social problem! I was born and raised on a huge UK Council estate split in two by a public park. We were considered rich, stuck up and “too clever” by those in the north, many of whom who saw themselves as a rough, tough, united community; more of us went into work and off to university, more of them went onto benefits and off to jail. In fact, children and youths from our side of the park stayed well away from the other, in case of assault, although gangs from the other side sometimes came over to find someone to assault. Bear in mind that the people involved were, almost exclusively, white… No racial divide, just two very different mindsets separated by about a half mile strip of green land. I suppose that could be referred to as tribalism?
    3
  1576. I wonder if the whole point is to wind up the majority and get the inevitable over with. Then again, I understand that the Islamist activists are already complaining to Nanny UN that the other boys are playing too rough.
    3
  1577. Yes! At last! Someone else who realises that the use of the term Artificial Intelligence is deliberately misleading. GIGO applies to humans as well as computers.

  1578. Apparently, there’s still around 50,000 attendees…

  1579. I wonder what happened there 😉 But… plenty of cells for the loony Lefties protesting out on the street. If Great Britain and the EU would only follow this lead.
    3
  1580. ⁠ @Nyet-Zdyes for some of us women, talking about feelings is Ben Grimm and Sandman in the bar, or heroes (and villains) beside Mar-Vell’s deathbed, or Pietro yelling at Wanda for daring to fall in love with an android… Ain’t no ‘chick flick’ type stuff here unless it’s already in Marvel lore (the Lady Liberators, perhaps?). Imo, studios have just plastered big names over pisspoor output for too long. I sincerely hope that, at some stage soon, we nerds and nerdesses get our toys back.
    3
  1581. That’s the $64,000 question.
    3
  1582. I watched most of The Devil’s Chord…. I was anticipating Maestro to be revealed as an automaton/toy (they/them really indicating something sinister), making it possible some future villains would be of the same making. The Toymaker was still playing the game… But no. RTD just hasn’t got the mental capacity for this. He’s now a fanfic writer pushing dubious Woke ideology and his own personal life choices.

  1591. OMG! I’m never exercising again! I didn’t know it led to parthenogenesis! I’m too old for that kinda stuff! PS: larger ladies were desired as mothers as their children would most likely survive in the womb until parturition. There’s these really ancient fertility figures…

  1599.  @malikthebarbarian6815  you couldn't be more wrong. I graduated in 1982, in the UK, with free tuition, and received a no-strings attached grant because my family wasn't flush enough to support me. Back then, of course, we were encouraged to be independent thinkers.

  1600.  @jackjonesy9232  hm, no. You're trying to be clever, aren't you?
    3
  1601.  @MakeBritainGreat some civil servants chose to downgrade for various personal reasons, but forced downgrading is also a civil service punishment and, naturally, incurs a wage cut.
    3
  1602. On the plus side, when all books have been redacted there won't be a need to burn them. In order to get a feel for what we'll be left with, might I recommend "How to be Well-Versed in Poetry" edited by E.O. Parrott? But please remember that there will be nothing humourous once the censor's thick black pen has been liberally applied.

  1603. Has someone set up “MachetesRUs”?

  1605. They’ll have been warned and silenced.
    3
  1606. I rather think we’re at the point where navel-staring Hollywood is grasping at straws in an attempt to remain relevant. We’re fed up with the fan-baiting and fan-blaming, the name calling and vanity posturing. We just want a good story with great characters and, if it’s added, CGI. The Flash is just another film that fails to deliver.

  1614. Do Chocolate Splodge! It was a favourite back in 1970s UK schools. Unfortunately, the receipt was later updated to make it “healthier”, completely ruining the texture and taste. The steamed jam roll with thick custard (everyone fought for the skin on the top of the jug) has long gone, too 😢

  1618. I recommend Dr Ramani's 2019 book 'Don't You Know Who I Am?' in which she examines the growth and power of Narcissism in modern culture.

  1619. Coming next: the age of consent will be reduced to 12. Once this is embedded, it will be reduced gradually to include newborns. I’m pretty sure there’s a roadMAP out there for it already.

  1633. Incidentally, those student visas, including ones permitting family to come along… Here’s something you can thank the Tories for: If a visa-holding Higher Education student drops or gets thrown out of their course, their visa is automatically withdrawn after a short grace period. They cannot use Further Education establishments as a safety net since these cannot provide visas. However, some private (and often dubious) “education” establishments will happily exchange a visa for a large lump sum; if this is proven, it’s punishable under current law. I wonder how long it’ll be before Sir S feels he needs to plug a breach in foreign rights?

  1640. As an ex civil servant, I’d like to point out that someone has to administer benefits, taxes, health and social care, the law, education etc etc etc. We were - and are - often denigrated for our work, especially when the bad apples bob to the surface, as they eventually will in many different settings. PS: civil servants are just employees, like everyone else. It’s those at the tippy-top, the CEOs, who say what’s what.

  1645. And the camels. A friend went on Hajj in 2015 (the year that bridge collapsed). On his return, he swore never again. Part of the ritual is a blood offering which, as he put it, involves bludgeoning baby camels in return for large sums of cash.

  1646. Any sensible parents asked to allow a female friend of their self-declared gay son to stay for a sleepover would instantly consider all kinds of negative what if’s… And if you’ve not worked out what those could be, you’re still naive.

  1648. It would seem that, when our “incomers” were assured they can get everything they want for free, they took it literally (literally).

  1655.  @richardrowlands9113 actually, it is due to climate change over the last 225 years… since the end of the Little Ice Age and the ash from Mt. Tambora (last erupted 1815) gradually cleared. The average world temperature is back where it started around 1300.

  1659. I started playing Cats and Soup, in which it is possible to get quite some way without paying real money if you suss the mechanics. Now, I’ve reached the stage where I estimate it is impossible to progress at any reasonable pace without a cash outlay. No, thank you. It’s scary how creators can monetise so many people, so easily.

  1660. It’s good to see that Labour is sticking to their good ol’ tried and tested formula of tax and spend. Perhaps Reeves will leave the next incoming government a “we’ve spent it all” note in the dispatch box.

  1661. These recycling initiatives are respectful to the gods and the environment, bring work, and support the general community.

  1662. Putting poster paint in security boxes makes me wonder whether such items have been thrown around by naughty adults who’d rather escape without paying for their weekly shop hem-hem. Or maybe poor parenting has resulted in more than one H&S mess?

  1668. My mother used to make variations of this receipt, using leftover beef or lamb, shallow-fying the balls and calling them 'rissoles'.

  1684. I’m sorry, but you’re repeating a straw man argument. Traditional feminists support the family with the call for equal pay for equal work. This means that it’s quite possible for a woman to work in a better paying job than her husband who may take on the role of homemaker. It also means that, if the husband is unable to work, the woman can take his place as breadwinner. It was a different world back in post-WWII through to the 1980s. Going on the pan-crack wasn’t a lifestyle choice. I rather think you should be turning your ire onto Fourth Wave Marxist Feminists. You know, the ones who called the trad fems “squares of grass” for not approving of the Woke agenda.

  1703. It’s a psyop using aspects of humanity’s shared meme-set about things that go bump in the night. The threat of alien invaders (be that demons, foreigners or teasers) can be used to bring “straying”populations back under central control and distract from unpalatable realities, like war or lack of food. Fear is a terrible weapon but, if you can harness it, it’s your terrible weapon and you can turn it on a group of chosen enemies, be that other people, animals or, the safest victim, unknown entities. Now, grab your thinking caps - preferably tinfoil ones - and start asking yourself why the press is pushing the UFO narrative right now…

  1713. Serfdom is not slavery but a social construct meant to support a fundamentally cashless society. Serfs had rights; actually, slaves had rights because they were valuable assets! Down the years, the terms have become interchangeable and the lines blurred, and modern slavery denies its victims any rights at all, even to rest or food, as there are always political opponents or targeted ethnic groups to endlessly mine (q.v. gulags).

She rang her doctor’s surgery and was told local walk-ins were rammed, ditto A&E, so come in tomorrow morning for 8am and wait to see the locum. Luckily, no problems. My colleague’s high blood pressure medication was changed and she’s currently being monitored weekly. Now, if that had been a thrombosis…

  1759.  @kyleellis1825  that’s the thing: if you’re hit, you know it and you can show the bruises. But emotional and psychological abuse can be so subtle that the victim might not realise their position and, if they eventually suss it, may not be believed because they don’t have bruises. That’s one reason why the term ‘domestic violence’ was replaced with ‘intimate partner abuse’. I suggest reading ‘Why Does He Do That?’ by Lundy Bancroft.

Then, Nestles updated the receipt, swapped in laboratory-made sweeteners and new artificial flavourings, and took away that tiny, itty-bitty, smidge of raspberry juice. Raspberry Crusha is still on supermarket shelves, but I'll never try it or buy it again. I think the analogy is obvious.

  1786. There is a difference between the Law and Justice, which is why we appoint judges to balance the scales. Sir S is firmly on the side of Law, dismissing motive, intention or provocation as irrelevant; he follows the exact wording on the page. This is how he can justify curtailing or forcing investigations seemingly at a whim. For example, Starmer sees tackling knife crime as a social issue whereas punishing those participating in protests against knife crime has a due legal process. Now this automaton is in power, he’ll be throwing the book, as it were, at anyone who he perceived as infringing the words inside it.

  1791. Nope, real drag is not disgusting; it’s a comedy art form, a part of the blue joke pub circuit, and a feature of pantomime here in the UK. Flashing like this belongs in some private sex club, not in front of children. This isn’t drag by any stretch of the imagination. It’s a fetish that’s used the term to legitimise itself.

  1801. My home city already has plans to ban all private transport inside the inner ring road by 2030. The only available public transport inside the exclusion zone will be “call-a-ride” electric minibuses for the disabled and elderly who cannot walk very far (and who will have to register for the service). Also, there will be no public transport circular service around the ring road. Goods vehicles making deliveries must be electric, and only operate between midnight and 6am, and only on approved routes.

  1802. I have a Chicagoan friend who watches a lot of old UK tv shows on a dedicated channel showing comedies, children’s programmes, and drama. She gave up on Dr Who in the Jodie years and it’s unwise to mention Gatwa as it’s possible several communications satellites will explode.

If someone (not jokingly) tells you they know what you’re thinking, they’re an abuser out to re/establish control, to give themself permission to intimidate or assault. Weak bullies daren’t try that, so they make up false allegations or get offended, reporting to the authorities/a bigger bully, then gloat over the results.

  1816. Feminism didn’t double the workforce! Did you know that women were once required to give up work when they married? Fine for the middle class upwards, but it led to a lot of struggling working class families. Heck, the majority of my mother’s siblings (she was the youngest, born 1924) never had children because they couldn’t afford to do so… Why are we Boomers vilified? Simply because we lived through the history certain people are currently lying about.

  1817. The batteries are made in China. We are supposed to top them up with electricity, which will be impossible if all we have are camp fires.
    2
  1818. Nut-stuffed dates roasted in honey… hm-hmmmm. If I made these at home, I’d probably add cinnamon or a pinch of ginger rather than the pepper, though.
    2
  1819. We’ll be Landing Strip One before very long now. We’re being baited, aren’t we?
    2
  1820. Just come across this vid now and immediately spotted the problem: Wallace. His poor wife was so worn out and frightened trying to cope with his laziness, she used buying as a displacement activity and the items to build a shell for herself. The confrontation over the dirty plates was so telling.
    2
  1821. Starmer is a representative of the Law not Justice.
    2
  1822. Every year, without fail, I come down with multiple colds and the inevitable influenza. Then Covid-19 happened and I was sent to work from home for extended periods. Amazingly, I’ve not had a cold or the ‘flu since! As a public transport user, I’ve spent a good deal of time inside a packed tin can on wheel filled with seasonal hacking, sniffing and sneezing. No handkerchiefs, let alone masks. From recent experience, it’s common for anyone with a nasty cough, runny nose and sore throat to now announce they have C-19 symptoms and must stay at home awaiting test results whereas their employers would usually demand they go into work or risk being sacked. We do have the usual outbreaks of tonsillitis and norovirus, but generic colds and ‘flu? Just about gone. The conclusion is obvious.
    2
  1823. It’s almost as if someone intended that to happen 🤔
    2
  1824. Ah, you see: no investigating police department is going to advertise that they’ve sussed the foot-soldiers when they really want the top crime lord (or lady, as it may be).
    2
  1825.  @Precious-hp1vu female kangaroos, darling. Embryonic birth and diapause are solely female matters.
    2
  1826. A perfect explanation about how streaming churns out content in a crash dive to the lowest level of creativity. And that’s why using beloved IP names as sticking plasters is going to kill the dying patient quicker.
    2
  1827. Traditionally, we have to flee to Wales. Unfortunately, Wales is sinking, too.
    2
  1828.  @lushingtonbrady9757  gotcha. But I did wonder if the total obliteration of Dol Guldur, every trace of it, was the ravages of time visited on it.
    2
  1829.  @jimjimmy680  oh, no disagreement there, but not in full plate.
    2
  1830. Do you even know what Old English is? Or Middle English? Seems to me that you don’t even understand Modern English. Why, yes! I am an English Lit and Lang graduate. I got an education, me.
    2
  1831. The castle was a self-contained set of side quests. That’s why nothing progressed in the main storyline. Did the writers learn how to plot and construct dialogue from really bad MMORPGs?
    2
  1832. We vegetarians are too sensible to complain about cow farts when we can complain about vegan activists taking over restaurant menus everywhere.
    2
  1833.  @marhawkman303  yes, but he loved them...
    2
  1834. That’s Marxism, baby!
    2
  1835. Sir S should be asked to repeat this phrase: ka namaa kaa lajerama!
    2
  1836. I guess raiding mailboxes had better be sorted out before your next elections…
    2
  1837. No hope there! He’ll start charging his political rivals with that!
    2
  1838. Cis (on side) and trans (the other side or beyond) are terms used in isometry.
    2
  1839. Why the doctored pictures of cooling towers (now all sadly defunct thanks to “green” policies)? They only released water vapour. Oh, yeah, sorry. Water is a chief driver of climate change because it has an O2 in it.
    2
  1840. Perhaps the funding was to promote more tourist buses to the Black Pyramid and/or the Bent Pyramid? (These are real pyramids, guys.)
    2
  1841.  @jimmydesouza4375 ah, a pointless response by someone who didn't get the point. Well done! You'd make a fine politician.
    2
  1842. Oh, how many times must I say it? The PM - the Prime Minister - the leader of the government of the day - is the one who petitions the Privy Council for the dissolution of parliament. In turn, the Privy Council advises the monarch, who agrees with the request. PS: why do you hope for a new Cromwell? He banned individuality, happiness, and Christmas.
    2
  1843. As a fan of Baum’s original books, I won’t be watching this.
    2
  1844. I’m old enough to remember the fall of Rhodesia and the subsequent famines. I lost track of how many times I, as a wicked capitalist Westerner, was urged to Feed The (Communist) World.
    2
  1845. As much as I’d love to try Vite Ramen, shipping to the UK is way too expensive for my budget!
    2
  1846. As a Brit, I’m truly horrified by the rents in NYC. With the minimum wage in force here, (nice one Labour; that didn’t backfire on the working class, did it?) we’d never afford a shed over there.
    2
  1847. The British working class get pudding - the posh people have dessert.
    2
  1848. After the piece of Eden/the Golden Snitch, we now have a Halo which turns out to be a Transformers style space bridge plus Disney Fantasia 2000 whales leaping through the clouds 👍
    2
  1849.  @Sun_Flower1  you take that back! Starmer is only a wannabe beside the likes of Lex Luthor and The Red Skull!
    2
  1850. “Walking on eggshells” is a euphemism for abuse victims trying to avoid triggering their abuser which is, of course, ultimately next to impossible. Abusive personalities (q.v. the Dark Tetrad) are notoriously sensitive and quite capable of deliberately misunderstanding an innocent remark in order to declare outright warfare; genially saying “good morning” can result in the sinking of your alleged battleship. I guess we’ve all individually been there at some time, but now we’re all in it together as a nation.
    2
  1851. Please, let’s be reasonable about this… …there are most likely people of his own community, inside gaol and out, who are concerned that he was once a choirboy…
    2
  1852. Can I just say that I’m amazed how quickly everything escalated once Elon Musk opened the conversation. No one living in the UK could have done that. Raja Miah tried and was silenced, as were thousands of others, including the gang rape victims themselves. There is a massive conspiracy festering inside the corridors of power, from councils to parliament. What else is being hidden from the British people?
    2
  1853. We can't be sure until we can see more thrilling trailers released that enable us to identify other charcaters, and I use the word 'identify' loosely there.
    2
  1854. Kamala Harris is, to put it mildly, an entire picnic, ants, and transport short of intelligence. She’s a puppet, like Jo Biden before her - and she wasn’t even elected! Wtf are some of our Tories cosying up with the US Liberals for? Are they planning to hand us over to the US just like Labour are planning to hand us over to China or Russia?
    2
  1855. They're first cousins thrice removed. And since Elrond is married to Celebrian, Galadriel's daughter, he's having a barny with his mother-in-law.
    2
  1856.  @arielmarquis3100  no, it did not. It's plain old fashioned mysogeny pointing a finger and saying: look what you've made me do. FYI that's typical of abusive behaviour. Learn to think.
    2
  1857. The approved term is “inconvenient truths”.
    2
  1858. Framing the pater familias as a benign figure who knows what’s best for his family is a concept of male dominated society and women were, for centuries, raised to not question this even in the most dire circumstances. Naturally, many women did not support suffrage because they’d have to challenge the status quo and, in some (if not many) cases, face at least a ‘correctional’ beating. The ladies of the Temperance Movement were heroines.
    2
  1859. Micro transactions are NOT this. Blizzard is up front and the micro transaction users are pure scams, tiny increments required to progress the game, aimed at whales and innocent kids with parents’ credit cards.
    2
  1860. @ well, duh...
    2
  1861.  @Ktf2309  from Sun Tzu orignally - Boney paraphased it.
    2
  1862. It’s a MORI or similar poll. It’s limited.
    2
  1863. Surely the odd one out is Marvel Zombies? How the heck will anyone get that on screen with all those... oh, hang on... Resident Evil. (PS: I love the early MZ with its fun and gore, but not the weak later stories.)
    2
  1864. Now I’ve got Sir S dancing through a technicolour world singing “How Bad Can I Possibly Be?” Thanks… Apologies to the Once-ler.
    2
  1865.  @marymartin-q2y  everyone at the correct point at the correct time? Just not the way you might be envisioning this...
    2
  1866. Why are we even having this conversation?
    2
  1867. I think you mean British. The Britons went to Wales some time around the 9th century AD as the Anglo-Saxons gradually took over.
    2
  1868. In order to stay riding that gravy train.
    2
  1869. You mean the WEF Elitists, of course. Blair, for one. Don’t point fingers at the chosen scapegoats because that indicates you side with the peaceful people.
    2
  1870.  @libertylovin2359 I take it you’re referring to emasculation as a form of execution?
    2
  1871.  @E.L.RipleyAtNostromo  thanks! That ‘lunacy’ means we have very little gun crime.
    2
  1872. Ever heard of heaping hot coals. Trump is a master.
    2
  1873. Bringing more interested parties in.
    2
  1874. Male exhibitionists and other perverts have found a way around the law, and the media - an organ of government - generally seems to support this. Which should tell you a lot about government QED stealing ladies’ suitcases.
    2
  1875.  @timothygentry333  yes, Loki did indeed transform himself into a mare, at Odin’s request, and later gave birth to Hel, the Fenris Wolf and Jormungandr the World-serpent. And Thor dressed up as a woman once.
    2
  1876. Accurate and timeous. I wonder how many will view this and still not understand, because they’ve been trained to be ignorant.
    2
  1877. In Britain, they’re mostly peaceful people.
    2
  1878. Proper poppadoms should have a small amount of asafoetida mixed with the gram flour. It’s a difficult herb with regard to flavour balance, but worth trying. Do grow some! (The local slugs have enjoyed all my herbs again this year…)
    2
  1879. Isn’t independent social media wonderful? For the first time, the people can follow the political machinations that lead to countries going to war. And the people don't like what they see.
    2
  1880. ‘Glances at sea urchins’ - makes sense, I guess.
    2
  1881. Every breath is a prayer.
    2
  1882. Because foreign students pay upfront for their courses and don’t get loans.
    2
  1883. They’d risk being arrested for their dexterous pinion nationalism.
    2
  1884. Heh, I reckon a lot of those layoffs are unproductive SJWs.
    2
  1885. Oh, ffs! The British population has never borne arms!
    2
  1886. The fun bit is using words that the programmers don’t know and making the so-called AI call for human help.
    2
  1887. Spot on! It’s a real term meant to encompass those who need extra support. However, I’ve encountered many “neurodivergent” young people and adults who are best described by the phrase “as thick as two short planks nailed together with a yard of lard”. A lot of effort is going into keeping the latter group happy because they’ve been given tools to weaponise their ‘illness’.
    2
  1888. I’ve not played the Gotham Knights game: any Lazarus Pits in the locale of Batman and Ras’ deaths?
    2
  1889. What was that thing about lies, damn lies and statistics?
    2
  1890. Psychology recongises a behaviour it refers to as 'deflecting' which is part of the parcel called 'gaslighting'.
    2
  1891. Okay. Some basic chemistry… A polymer is any chain of identical molecules, the thermal and mechanical properties of which can be changed by a process called plasticisation. Starch is a naturally occurring long chain polymer of glucose (a polysaccharide - “multiple sugar” - carbohydrate). Plants produce it by photosynthesis. We eat plants to take advantage of the energy they store as starch, but it’s also used in many ways by industry, one of which is in a plasticised form as… plastic bags. This plastic is compostable but not recyclable, because it’s not derived from crude oil polymers. You're welcome.
    2
  1892. I assume that it'll be every natural born Brit of a certain broad age-range and, possibly, only one sex. Get 'em in the armed forces, ship 'em off to Ukraine, and leave the young and old to cope with protecting all the girls and women.
    2
  1893. That’s an abusive personality for you.
    2
  1894.  @LastBrainCell01  I’d accept that challenge! My hobby is mythology.
    2
  1895. “Rincewind had always been happy to think of himself as a racist. The One Hundred Meters, the Mile, the Marathon—he’d run them all. Later, when he’d learned with some surprise what the word actually meant, he’d been equally certain he wasn’t one. He was a person who divided the world quite simply into people who were trying to kill him and people who weren’t. That didn’t leave much room for fine details like what colour anyone was.“ Sir Terry Pratchett, “The Last Continent”.
    2
  1896. I think we'll all soon be agreeing that there were 4 Indiana Jones movies...
    2
  1897. My ex is paying for a TV licence for me, and I don't even have a TV or watch BBC channels. He muttered something about political prisoners...
    2
  1898. Was Ali there for consultation purposes? If so, exactly what type of consultation? Possibly cultural?
    2
  1899.  @oneperson5760  you’ve not read “A Christmas Carol”? Well, then: at least try looking for information online.
    2
  1900. Addicts lie... parental fault may be a lie, just as the self-medication explanation may be a lie. Addiction is a difficult subject and the ways into it are multitude, possibly meaning we will never find a unifying theory enabling development of a cure especially when sufferers do not want to be cured.
    2
  1901. By logical extension, that the majority in the UK is actually part of the global minority, Brits can claim they're being oppressed by race-ists.
    2
  1902. Londoners couldn’t be bothered to vote against Khan? Haven’t you heard how “multicultural” the place is, my dears?
    2
  1903. None. I’m not a cake lover. Now, hand over those carrots!
    2
  1904. @ Privy Council probably telling him to Stay Out Of It. That'd be my advice to him, too.
    2
  1905. Abuse councillors are well aware of this type of thing happening; read a few of their books about DV. What genuinely surprises me is that this case was raised by the police and reached a court. The victims are almost always either disbelieved from the get-go, or the tables are turned and they’re told that, because they (dare not) escape their abuser, they’re complicit.
    2
  1906. First poster: you are suggesting that the current school process for avoiding threats is somehow related to the Aberfan Disaster?
    2
  1907. After three years of uncertainty, my eldest son was diagnosed with Reynauld’s based on the fact that his swollen hands hurt in cold weather! It’s taken another four years to get his symptoms reviewed. I have suspected Cushing’s syndrome (probably a pituitary tumour) from the get-go, but I’m not a doctor so what would I know? He’s been unable to work for nearly six years; he’s 27….
    2
  1908. @BrandyBaker-fi8sc That’s “knob”, love. He’s not a nob (member of the noble houses), just has this attitude towards working class people.
    2
  1909. Where do you think a business’ profit goes? Some for the owner to live on, some for reinvestment, some possibly going on wages to employees. You can spot a Labour voter a mile away.
    2
  1910. I’ll lay a bet that staff were shamed into going with the narrative. I can’t say if they were complicit: I think they might well have received a nice ticking off and assurances that everything is okay. That’s DEI for you!
    2
  1911. @pspicer777 and you’re simple. The world doesn’t run on guns and bombs, but in trade.
    2
  1912. I’ve been happily singing “Veni, Veni, Emmanuel” as I’ve walked around my very multicultural home city. Also “Adeste, Fidelis”, and “Personet Hodie”, with a quick bit of “Ill est Nee, Le Devine Enfant” and “Stille Nacht”. No one has told me how offended they are. Can’t imagine why… Happy Cristes Maesse!
    2
  1913. @KarnEvil- nonsense! Without dews, how would desert peoples get sufficient water to raise crops?
    2
  1914. Never listened to Tony Blair…?
    2
  1915. Oh, please stop claiming that the entire civil service backs Starmer.
    2
  1916. Then you’ll be paying extra taxes to support them. So.. alternative options?
    2
  1917. The first people to outline the absurdity of Woke were the nerds. I say this as a nerdess.
    2
  1918. Well, of course such Woke ideals will, when applied to the field of medicine, be a likely cause of incompetence and lead to deaths. This is how the state decreases the Surplus Population.
    2
  1919. This is all about controlling the written word in the same way these politically-motived yahoos are attempting to control the spoken language, most especially English. Remember Orwell's 1984: Newspeak is a controlled language of simplified grammar and restricted vocabulary designed to limit the individual's ability to think and articulate "subversive" concepts such as personal identity, self-expression, and free will. It's immoral.
    2
  1920. My workplace requests that staff join a few social media platforms. I opted out. One boss was awfully condescending about it - she said: at your age, you probably don’t know how to use apps.
    2
  1921. Sadly, I find many are unable to understand such messages because they are ignorant of their ignorance, either by choice or by coercion.
    2
  1922.  @toothgrinder2760  Disney has retreated to the green-screened sound stage, replacing on-location filming with VR, which has affected directing and production skills negatively. They’ve been thrashing VFX studios and artists for the last few years. The companies getting out there, working in the real world, using practical effects and keeping the digital components for post-production are killing it.
    2
  1923.  @tiffanyanthony  no, there has been a shortage of parakeet sexers going back decades.
    2
  1924. Any second now, it’ll be blamed on MMR. See if it isn’t!
    2
  1925. Silly! She obviously means: ‘Mermaids’ is my life’s work. She’s referring to the film.
    2
  1926. Those who contribute nothing will eventually receive a means-tested state pension with perks not available to those who work and pay National Insurance.
    2
  1927. I’m totes impressed with Elon’s timing. chef’s kiss
    2
  1928. Dead. Man. Walking.
    2
  1929. It’s pronounced something like Luff-ber--er. Although we Leicestershire residents often refer to it as Looger-brooger.
    2
  1930. You refer to the group which saw state benefits as the easy way out? An awful lot of those girls hung around with irresponsible young men, usually a few years older, and then casually declared they didn’t know who the father of their child was.
    2
  1931. Darling, I work on a phone team and you would not believe how utterly mindless, illogical and self-unaware some people are. If I hear just one more caller asking me to tell them what they should do….
    2
  1932. Removing USAID handouts is having some interesting effects on the world, isn’t it. Hamax infighting over who gets the slush fund and where it’s stashed - Zalenskyy coming back to the negotiating table - Starmer sabre rattling….
    2
  1933. I think what’s more of a potential problem is the FBI holding ‘blackmail material’. That has all the potential of a Cold War spy movie, doesn’t it?Stay vigilant!
    2
  1934. So, what I get out of the above exchange is that there are a lot of trolls who identify as rational human beings. I identify as a unicorn and I find it reassuring that fairytales are still going strong.
    2
  1935. We were expected to vote as instructed. When we got it wrong, the EUphiles were caught off guard with nothing in place to force another vote. And they daren’t try it, so we didn’t get the Brexit we wanted. Starmer obviously espouses the ECHR.
    2
  1936.  @dragonofhatefulretribution9041  I'm happy to know that there are other folk who cannot just see the wood but identify the trees.
    2
  1937. All Skrulls are shapeshifters, an obvious survival trait. Kl’rt, the original Super-Skrull, was given the powers of the Fantastic Four by bionic engineering; he developed into a complex character, although the very 1960s name stuck. There are actually multiple Super-Skrulls, some of whom received artificial genetic mutations, copying up to four superpowers at once, so the single powers seen in Secret Invasion are one-off builds. Sadly, I doubt we’ll get the Skrull Beatles… There you go. I’m a nerd; bite me.
    2
  1938. Whatever happened to the Guardian Angels? Has the organisation moved or been forced out of the NYC subway?
    2
  1939. I regularly experience the Narc becoming aggrieved he's when not able - or willing! - to join a conversation. He’ll interrupt with tangential observations to steer the subject to something he wants and sulk if that fails. He also butts in to ridicule me in front of other people by saying, for example, ‘isn’t she a big head’ or ‘I taught her all she knows about that’; if it’s just him and me, I’m told I don’t know what I’m talking about and he’ll get louder and louder until he’s shouting me down. I admit that I have a tendency to be pedantic on my specialist subjects, but I know this and do try to restrain myself!
    2
  1940. We need some ICE in the UK, please!
    2
  1941. I see the BBC are still regurgitating the approved Comi-une-yst slur over anyone not meeting their approval. That one defamatory word tells us all we need to know.
    2
  1942. I huv red old buks abowt the hisstury ov the plannitt. It is interezztin to reed abowt the Cretinus an’ Yerassik, when the plannitt wuz otter than nowe, an’ abowt the Yeres Wifowt Summer, an’ how tempers got colder but are nowe wurming againe to whut they wuz a fouzand yeres agow.

    2
  1943. Kinda. I’m thinking the Second Coming isn’t literal but a prediction of the good of the world rising above the evil. Time will tell.
    2
  1944. I’m teetotal and loathe liquorish, but thank you, Max: I’m here for the history and you never disappoint
    2
  1945.  @mangeak1088  grumbling like f* and being generally told to stop nerding out. However, this time, I have found that I have a family, thanks to Amazon.
    2
  1946. I remember Mrs Thatcher. She gave incredibly passionate speeches, so unlike Botox’ed Sir S.
    2
  1947.  @10greenbottles1-o9q  ah, and those other religions say the same. I find that fascinating. "In my father's house are many mansions."
    2
  1948.  @d.adrien7423 which was odd, given the historic Ottoman invasions of Europe.
    2
  1949. Oh, I thought those examples were art installations. Just rebrand them, NYC, and you’ll win an award. Edit: I observe your single “asylum seekers” in that line are all male. No surprise there. Love from 🇬🇧
    2
  1950. Vile or scared.
    2
  1951. Foreshadowing at its finest.

  1952. That’s going on my list of things to do if I ever get sufficient funds!
    2
  1953. Music recommendation: “Never Surrender” by Stan Bush.

  1954. The Fall of England: as Promised and Orcestrated by the Labour Party Or How Petty Traitors Served Up An Evil Agenda

  1955. Kamala is whatever she identifies as.
    2
  1956.  @saymyname2417  hey, jumping ship looks better on the CV than getting kicked out!
    2
  1957.  @bujharvard9313  after we’d lost a hockey match, our sport teacher, a rather gung-ho lady, would tell us we played ‘like a bunch of little girls’. Ours was an all-girls school and those words were an insult!
    2
  1958. “We asked a random sample of GenZ if they would join the armed forces to fight for this country, and they said “no”, because all Brits are istaphobes. So you’d better capitulate to multiculturalism. And you will agree or else.” - Leftwing press, probably. GenZ. Born 1997 to 2012. Current age range: 13 to 25. So yeah: a lot of them are still living at home, in education, not working, and regularly playing video games. Perhaps they’ve not yet chosen a career path.They’ve also suffered most from Wokeism, and a suspiciously high number have been diagnosed as neurodivergent or with anxiety (worried about being cancelled, being groomed, or peaceful incidents?) so will agree with whatever leading questions they’re asked. Time to Wake up to the propaganda, people!
    2
  1959.  @smelltheglove2038 ditto reply.
    2
  1960.  @QueSeraSeraaaa  was it? What time period are we discussing, please?
    2
  1961. I’m a WoW player. I saw all the hate turned on Blizzard a few years ago and wondered if there might be more to it. Then Dragonflight came out… Don’t get me wrong. The idea that non-breeding drakes might shack up together is reasonable, but I’ve no idea how the Maruuk Centaur have a future because we never find any foals running around. At least the Tuskarr know that one plus one equals baby makes three. Was SBI involved here, too?
    2
  1962. Misguided, not quite onboard with reality, but he has integrity.
    2
  1963. There aren’t any Hamas victims yet…
    2
  1964.  don't be surprised  reported you several times. Go away, now.
    2
  1965. Remember how they ‘improved’ the original Star Wars Trilogy? Quite.
    2
  1966. It’s ludicrous, though, isn’t it? Why return the whole of Europe to the (literal) Dark Ages?
    2
  1967. Did i hear that right? “Despite falling crime rates” and “rising prison populations”? Kinda mutually exclusive, those statements. The solution: more rehabilitation rather than punishment. Not a peep about deportation?

  1968. I find it horribly interesting how the writers, with a notepad, a few team meetings over donuts and a couple of years, believed they could create something better than one intelligent man’s life work.
    2
  1969. Good grief! That rent is more than I earn every month!
    2
  1970. No trust whatsoever. I reckon Batgirl will eventually be released online because ‘people’ want to see it and WB will be happy even if it’s just laughed at/derided because that’s press, isn’t it?
    2
  1971. Now perhaps more people get why a lot of us in the UK voted for Brexit?
    2
  1972.  @friedmule5403  oh, yes. The Eurocrats still hate us for saying "Non".
    2
  1973. The gods sent him a rescuer.
    2
  1974.  @jamesdellaneve9005  because we women love a good laugh now and then.
    2
  1975. If the Left do not know what a woman is, why can a man pretend to be a woman? But we have to believe the little lies before we can begin to believe the big ones, like DIE.
    2
  1976. Something is Going On, if MI5 and MI6 are involved. Maybe Something it’s best not to talk about as that might interfere with an investigation. Hm.
    2
  1977. So-called A.I. is just a computer programme. It’s pretty artificial but it ain’t intelligent. Basically GIGO.
    2
  1978. I take it this doesn’t refer to the 1967 Summer of Love.
    2
  1979. Just say that Labour are doing this deliberately and as fast as possible. At some stage, we need to ensure they can’t leave the country on the day they break and run.
    2
  1980. The same gesture, lifted to the forehead, was used to mock the cuckhold in Medieval plays, actually. They had a robust sense of humour; Saint Joseph was said to have been cuckholded by God. Anyway, the hand gesture was never called out in the comics, so this is just a spurious bit of nonsense.
    2
  1981. Who is the interviewer? She sounds so squeakily vapid.
    2
  1982.  @salvolondon I never thought I’d meet an actual “neuter”…
    2
  1983. I worked (desk job) until 2 weeks before my first son’s due date. Easy pregnancy, no problems. Four weeks later, after three days in labour, I’m rushed for an emergency C-section. Ditto second child, although the hospital only gave me 24 hours to try for vbac. Would I have elected for a section? Heck, no. Perhaps “too posh to push” is Ella’s pov.
    2
  1984. At this point, the flags of Israel and the real Iran are welcome alongside our own.
    2
  1985.  @PeterPete  hi, troll!
    2
  1986. I look forwards to the word Budlighting entering the dictionary soon.
    2
  1987. As a Boomer, I’d like to point out that we were the first unwilling recipients of Political Correctness. We were also firmly told not to upset the self-delusional Narcissistic Socialists because they were so mentally unstable, they might explode if poked (like sweaty dynamite).
    2
  1988. My maternal ancestors were, reportedly, Britons who relocated to the area now called Wales. They were escaping Roman occupation. Hm.
    2
  1989.  @mikeconnors3880  nah, mate: blue. Woadn't you believe it?
    2
  1990. The thing to understand is that no one can define a woman unless he’s a rapist.
    2
  1991. Here’s something to chew on… Those who worked for their state pension don’t receive Pension Credit. Some are, of course, longterm disabled or ill, others carers who have spent years looking after longterm disabled or ill family; some simply struggled to find and/or retain employment, part-time or full-time.
    2
  1992. Please let us know if she lets you live...
    2
  1993. Rewatch and take notes. Maybe you’ll catch up with us who already know these facts?
    2
  1994. Those are warning sounds that they’re getting really annoyed…
    2
  1995. @ NATO? Really?
    2
  1996. The first poster is correct: it’s all about Reducing the Surplus Population, that being the ones who want to get enough wages to find somewhere to live, wed and have children. The proposal was first mooted in 1798 and involved extra little treats for the poor such as no medical assistance, no provision for clean food and water, promoting wars, and pressurising young single people into celibacy. I’m sure you can extrapolate the modern equivalents.
    2
  1997. @jhonfrancis4 anarchist?
    2
  1998. @ira4600 compared to the people of 1912? That was the first “ideal weight” chart!
    2
  1999. Not yet… not by a long chalk…
    2
  2000.  @EJ-ul5um  bah, humbug?
    2
  2001. The British working class has been aware of this since the 1960s. Ever heard of (excuse the spelling) pack-eee-bashing?
    2
  2002. Of course the talking heads don’t realise the consequences that they’re going to face!
    2
  2003. SEXIST!
    2
  2004.  @firsteerr  sorry - I was thinking fear of being non-compliant to certain non-British sentiments.
    2
  2005. Statistics... ‘nuffzed... And I do love these clever vids!
    2
  2006. Call Ed Straker!!!
    2
  2007. Good to see Hate Not Hope supporting out of work actors 😉
    2
  2008. Men who enjoy wearing skirts and makeup… ever looked at traditional tribal marriage practices in Central African and Far Eastern countries? Then again, not everyone is interested in anthropology.
    2
  2009. @ considering my father would be 121 years old now, and my mother 100, I think I've a pretty good idea of how this inevitably goes.
    2
  2010. Er... stopped this at about 10 seconds in, because we know when the pyramids were built, how they were built (pretty shoddy job, too, some of them) and by who for what purpose. They’re not magic or alien or whatever. And Tesla has absolutely bugger all to do with them.
    2
  2011. There were many times I really would have appreciated my ex taking up a lighthouse job 🙄
    2
  2012. Ironically, selling goods on bridges goes back to early Medieval times. There used to be actual shops and houses built into the bridges! I can see both sides of the argument, but think the uncluttered bridge looks better.
    2
  2013. Oh, dear me. I must buy more popcorn.
    2
  2014. The weed users always turn up to defend their addiction. My next door neighbour smokes weed daily “to alleviate asthma”… and I had a diabetic friend who ditched insulin for weed; note the tense there.
    2
  2015. They could just call it its proper name: rat pox. Seriously. It’s a rat disease.
    2
  2016. @jennyknight9875 no, overseas students cannot stay after their visa expires. Many leave the UK during the grace period. Some, however, promptly try to get into other education opportunities so they can renew their visa. Others, of course, disappear or, in exceptional circumstances, claim asylum. And they do not outnumber British students.
    2
  2017. I approve: recognition of enemy infiltration unit was part of the two WWs.
    2
  2018.  @linda-cd1ss  King Charles the First, doofus.
    2
  2019. I observe that the plan is going swimmingly as intended. Two-tier law - not justice - has flung a precedent in British faces, now.
    2
  2020. Your supposition is the first one that came to mind: say nothing, don’t give anything away, because… Let’s see what happens next. Btw, ricin isn’t something you cook up on your own…
    2
  2021. Yeah, about that… DV statistics are sufficient to disprove misandry unless, of course, you blame the women (and children) for every incident, including the murders.
    2
  2022. Well, looks like the WEF are making huge strides towards their Brave New World. PS: royal assent is a largely a formality these days. The Australian Governor-General has the power to dissolve parliament and sign bills; the King isn’t even involved.
    2
  2023. Maybe Hitchens, like me, dislikes all recreational drugs, cannabis being the one that’s pretty common these days. Btw, did you hear that the heroin and fentanyl trades are moving into the EU and UK?
    2
  2024. That’s “megalomaniac”.
    2
  2025. Yet, so many are proudly announcing that the past is dead.
    2
  2026.  @TheRetroManRandySavage we should invite him to have a few at The Trip to Jerusalem before walking him up to see the historic vaults beneath the Castle… you know?
    2
  2027.  @TheRetroManRandySavage  you're probably right 😆 An extra visit to Robin Hood Bay is out, then?
    2
  2028. The thing is: lamposts are very high these days.
    2
  2029. Do you recall the anguish of young women at risk of cancer from the BRAC1 and/or BRAC2 gene(s) for whom a double mastectomy might well, eventually, save their lives? I am sure there are many who are facing that choice every week. How must they feel, seeing the state foster mutilation of the same kind.
    2
  2030.  @JustThankinJesus  indeed. That's what I was saying.
    2
  2031. Not just Dunning-Krueger, but Herbert Marcuse and other Not Very Nice Leftwhingers.
    2
  2032. That’s Zen....
    2
  2033.  @ryanmorris986  agreed, but Disney is abusing the woman more by holding her up as a meatshield.
    2
  2034.  @peterlawson8040 are you suggesting that no one thinks independently now? That’s a dangerous road to start down, imo.
    2
  2035. Which Doctor is Trump’s favourite? 🤔
    2
  2036. Is that an updated version of ‘The Last Days of Sodom and Gomorrah’? 🤮
    2
  2037. I'm not entirely sure Thoreau meant it in the way you imagine...
    2
  2038. It’s the Victim Points Challenge!
    2
  2039. I’m an older traditional feminist and I reject Fourth Wave Woke (Marxist) feminism, and anything anti-racist (which just means anti-my North European ethnic group).
    2
  2040. Cis-trans isomerism is used in organic chemistry to define the spatial arrangement of atoms making up a molecule. I'm pants at chemistry, but I knew this. You can imagine how I scratched my head and wondered why people were trying to sex molecules, like they were chicks or something. PS: yes, chicken sexer is a real job.
    2
  2041.  @troy3456789  yup - trolling. Who asked for a comment on slavery?
    2
  2042. It’s most likely going to be a very cold and wet winter again 2024/25. Got to house those from warmer climes in case they freeze like pensioners or the native homeless. No doubt our Beloved Leader will blame it all on la Niña.
    2
  2043. “Prisoners of conscience are persons imprisoned for the peaceful expression of their political, religious, or other conscientiously held beliefs, or for their identity, even though they have neither used nor advocated violence.” No… but there are some people who will do so in his name. Farage is well aware of this and is not going to get involved.
    2
  2044. I’ll see you all at Milliways!
    2
  2045.  @kimwilson2514 a sentiment with which both of my sons would agree 😁
    2
  2046. Get with it. Dangerous metals? China doesn’t give a fig about it’s people, and is using this market as a form of attack on the West.
    2
  2047.  @officialsilverbusiness613  unfortunately, people are more likely to stand back when a man is hitting a woman, preferring to wait for official intervention. A woman, even badly injured, might turn on anyone who tried to help. This is because she knows that, if she doesn’t ‘stand by her man’, perhaps insisting that she’s to blame for the assault, things will possibly escalate later and there may be children at risk. For an awful lot of women, it’s heads you win, tails I lose. This is why tackling abuse is difficult. Sometimes, the truth only comes out at her inquest.
    2
  2048. …are you a DEI grift hire?
    2
  2049. Keir telling more porkies.
    2
  2050.  @jonhart2822  is your day name Mike Carter aka Booster Gold, by any chance?
    2
  2051. You object to the term “golf widow” too, then?
    2
  2052. When Pharazon forced Tar-Miriel, the legal heir, to marry him so he could seize the throne, he broke the law as they were cousins. Poor Tar-Miriel was lost in the wave that crashed over Numenor, victim of a sin for which she wasn’t responsible.
    2
  2053. That reminds me of a little WWII ditty 😉
    2
  2054. I suggest that Trump names Labour MPs he wishes to summon before him at the White House. For a little chat.
    2
  2055. Marvel Comics located the Savage Land in Antarctica 🤔
    2
  2056. @ I had a job once, trying to find out where some people were.
    2
  2057. @Occident you presuppose the original poster’s voting choice? Thats rather rude. Are you a Leftwhinger?
    2
  2058. Excellent précis of the history around Tutankhaten… I’d just like to add that his name was mostly likely changed for him by to the priests of Amun when they made their return to political power. Did you also find out that Smenkhare was quite possibly Nefertiti? There’s a murder mystery around that, too! Thank you for this receipt. I don’t eat duck, but that sauce does sound an interesting option for the Christmas chicken.
    2
  2059. Starmer is offshoring huge chunks of UK taxpayer cash. If you hang on in Ukraine, he’ll probably hand you some.
    2
  2060. It’s the ears, isn’t it?
    2
  2061. It’s either an attempt to stop mother-in-law jokes or to protect transwomen. Seriously, there is a huge amount of misogyny online. I’ve encountered it. But two tiers will apply, and one particular demographic will not be included.
    2
  2062. No average person “allowed this”. Like an old red herring, the rot started at the head.
    2
  2063. Not really. A human falls over, other humans go to help. That’s instinctive.
    2
  2064. Coming to Britain on small boats.
    2
  2065. At some time, just about every religion has used force or coercion to impose itself. Some truly terrible things have been perpetrated by “religious people” or hypocrites using religion as their shield. In this case, it’s the hypocrites again.
    2
  2066.  @Dandelion0962  climbing other people's apple trees to [hem-hem] source the fruit.
    2
  2067. I rather like Paul Chato’s descriptor: the Wifi Password People.
    2
  2068.  @lemdixon01  nice to see someone based.
    2
  2069. Not in the UK any more. Unless Liebour get in, of course.
    2
  2070. Did you catch Freedom Toons recent exploration of statistical anomalies?
    2
  2071. Say it: net zero is an attack on Western industries promoted by Marxist virtue signallers.
    2
  2072. @mangquelhayes1426 but the question remains: where is the $8k coming from? The answer is: loan sharking. Victims selling themselves into modern slavery.
    2
  2073. You know, back in the day, I was called all sorts of names for suggesting that maybe the Tamil Tigers had a valid point.
    2
  2074. Our families, culture and traditions are under attack, but we’re still hanging on, and things may soon change. Happy Christmas!
    2
  2075. We knew the usual flip-flop would happen. I wonder how long it’ll be before reality bites the sheeple on the derrière?
    2
  2076. @shirleybalinski4535 yes, but to what purpose? I’m still considering options, and one of them wouldn’t go down well with YT if I wrote it here.
    2
  2077.  @cynthiagonzalez658  only quaffable beer, of course!
    2
  2078. @chrislambert9435 are you a spammer or a bot…?
    2
  2079. Easy to blame the parents, isn’t it? Don’t fall for the deflection!
    2
  2080. It’s certainly more forthright than welly-wanging.
    2
  2081. I’m English and I’d be happy to explain that they’re mangling the language of Chaucer, Shakespeare and J.K. Rowling.
    2
  2082. It’s quite risible to watch any of the Woke/Far Left banging their little Marxist drum, not truly understanding that the majority are fully aware of their gameplay and won’t be marching in time.
    2
  2083.  @erroneous6947  there will be a lot of wobbles, I expect!
    2
  2084. I’m in the UK. My biggest fear is that the West is importing both sides of foreign wars. It’s no surprise there’s violence in these tent cities.
    2
  2085. @Spacetrooper are you a spambot, too? Or do you copy and paste? Your post appears in several places.
    2
  2086. My local Labour council is going to look at rejigging Council Tax so that the poorest get extra help. Sounds like they’re going to mess with the system; is this happening elsewhere?
    2
  2087. @SaltyShaman I did wonder and, yes, I think there are cases where one parent is giving the other a victory signal.
    2
  2088. My father bought our house, built 1925, and put money into modernising it, a little something overlooked by the council. Double glazing, central heating, new wiring, a new roof, an inside toilet… As I recall, the money raised by selling off old council housing was supposed to go towards new council housing but this never happened, not where I used to live. Btw, the council was and is Labour.
    2
  2089. Only after the last US election did I realise that their electronic voting system registers the voter against their vote - and not just for “public information” purposes, know what I mean? Gary could really be in trouble if he votes Trump but Harris wins.
    2
  2090. That poor chap probably didn’t realise how badly injured he was, just moved on with his trolley and his dog. Luckily, the perpetrators filmed themselves and put it out on social media for kudos. Do we know if they’ve been located and arrested yet? Will they claim they’re only doing what a Labour councillor instructed them to?
    2
  2091. Got this urge to sing ‘Rasputin’ by Boney M.
    2
  2092. Algorithms don’t understand sarcasm, cynicism and reality.
    2
  2093. What a load of... gaslighting.
    2
  2094. Nah. Sid wouldn’t do it “your way”.
    2
  2095.  @isotonik the other school started it, picking on us because we were at an all girl grammar school. They soon found out we had hockey sticks.
    2
  2096. I love folklore and mythology. I also read a lot of C19th and early C20th horror stories….
    2
  2097.  @jking0.o121  alternative truth, please
    2
  2098. Prison population doesn’t meet Labour racial representation targets?
    2
  2099. When I was younger, the term ‘asexual’ came with the rejoinder ‘reproduction’. To this day, I’ve waited for one of these new ‘asexuals’ to bud or split into two identical individuals…
    2
  2100. The title was ‘DEF-phobic’. That was totally a subtle joke that the characters didn’t get…
    2
  2101. My dear, Crusaders reported that Saladin was honourable.
    2
  2102.  @kevinheath7588 every major UK city is a City of Sanctuary. My own, Leicester, has been so successful at this, I’m an ethnic minority here, now. Nottingham is on the list, btw.
    2
  2103. “ Good friend, for Jesus' sake forbear, to dig the dust enclosed here. Blessed be the man that spares these stones, And cursed be he that moves my bones." - Shakespeare’s epitaph.
    2
  2104. So: the movie is called The Multiverse of Madness for a very good reason?
    2
  2105. “Social breakdown”… that’s a euphemism, right?
    2
  2106.  @jub8951  broke by Woke.
    2
  2107. Look up An Essay on the Principle of Population. Learn about Malthusianism. Then you’ll be as cynical as me.
    2
  2108. Get a map, mark off the colonised cities, and you’ll see just how this has been organised since the 1990s.
    2
  2109. SQUIRREL! Sorry, I mean UFO!
    2
  2110. There you go. The government didn’t poison anyone - the bootleggers did.
    2
  2111. Hm. Islam makes for quit a bogeyman, all things considered.
    2
  2112. Please stop attacking the civil service. I was made a civil servant by changes in my work sector. I’m just one of the little people trying to deliver a good service to taxpayers. Hiwever, if you're after the senior post holders put in place by Starmer as a reward for backing the right horse: feel free.
    2
  2113. It’s not even poor fanfic. It’s an appropriated title to sell a terribly poor Sword and Sorcery yarn. Trust me here. I’m a bit of a S&S nerd who’s into Tolkien.
    2
  2114.  @FACTBOT_5000  tell that to parents who’ve had their unaffirmed children taken by the state.
    2
  2115. I think that’s ANNOYED.
    2
  2116. Starmer wants war with Russia in order to escape any investigation into the SA gangs. Must be a huge amount of corruption going on right now if it’s going to take a nuclear bomb to get rid of it.
    2
  2117. A less ribald song than some my Dad taught me 😜
    2
  2118. My ancient ancestors were not Anglo-Saxon. My mother’s family were Celts, and my father’s were Danes who arrived in England around 900. I’d better relocate to Cambridge…
    2
  2119. Hey, BB - can those emergency supplies be shipped to Britain? We have a farmer vs Starmer situation.
    2
  2120. Yes. I do know this. I lived through the first attempt at Woke, which we called Political Correctness.
    2
  2121. And you now realise what real feminism is fighting for, hm? And why MeToo is valid?
    2
  2122.  @durwardsaar6000 😂
    2
  2123. Hey, The Abomination is actually in this series...!
    2
  2124. For very high level civil servants! Ask any frontline staff (working men and women).
    2
  2125.  @onojioboardwalk9748  'cos I don't. I have Netflix on one son's account but will lose that soon (dang, I'll have to buy DangerMouse DVDs) and I pretty much ignore Amazon except for ebooks. Also, I haven't watched tv for at least 25 years and go to cinemas to see only those few films I really, really want to see (yay, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts in June!).
    2
  2126. France is at war, though, isn’t it? Just like most of the EU, it’s fighting the far right….
    2
  2127. If our prisons are more chaotic and dangerous than ever before, I’d say the government needs to open an urgent discussion on instituting a more radical method of control to end the problem.
    2
  2128. Or were they? Not to rain on your parade, but it’s sometimes necessary to let a suspect carry on about their nefarious business in order to get more intelligence on their network. It also allows investigators to see the bigger picture of who/what has been compromised, and to what extent. I recommend that you - and everyone ticking a like - don’t apply for MI5 or MI6 jobs, ‘k?
    2
  2129. As a Brit looking for a new life away from Sir Starmer’s slow but sure destruction of the UK economy, I’m going to California! Why wait when I can experience tomorrow’s dystopian future today!
    2
  2130.  @noobie1890  my job will soon include receiving queries via text and social media. I have strategies for coping with my dyslexia but they don’t work when the other party is unable to spell, can’t punctuate or use capital letters appropriately, and is generally as thick as a yard of lard.
    2
  2131.  @kevincurr4641  🤣🤣🤣
    2
  2132.  @cherylroberts771  it's also referred to as eugenics. That's not a term you hear much of these days, hm?
    2
  2133. According to Dickens: Want and Ignorance. Sums up much of the human condition, then.
    2
  2134. Saw an allegation that bosses and unions were advising workers not to respond!
    2
  2135. Every obvious Disney failure is reframed as a success, even more successful than the last success.
    2
  2136.  @michellebarnhill5130  it was essential to ensure your potential soldiers were fit! That’s what’s behind ‘fitness’ all the way back. Hm. Perhaps there’s a Woke drive to ensure that people who can fight back, can’t?
    2
  2137. Is that title a reference to “Eight O’Clock in the Morning?” by Ray Faraday Nelson?
    2
  2138. Fortnite? 🤣 Nah, mate. The majority are playing Marvel Rivals now!
    2
  2139.  @BeaHindebars  I think you'll find that every one of the King's titles is a polite fiction. We do not live in an absolute monarchy.
    2
  2140. Bored of the Rings is a good book - you slur it by using the title to mock RoP!
    2
  2141.  @austinccolton  or the first few drafts were closer to the original and had to be gradually foreced to fit The Message. EDIT: if they'd only done just one more draft, I'm sure they could have removed the Master Chief completely and brought in a transgender Cortana who would fight the Covenant with pronouns.
    2
  2142. I think you're referring to our constitutional monarch? Darling, do stop shouting "SQUIRREL!" to divert attention - and anger - from the core problem.
    2
  2143. Frankly, the trailer looked bad and I’m teetotal....

  2144. @ we have a few bus stop posters, but that's it. The local Islamic community is large but so are the local Hindu and Sikh ones. Yes, I'm a minority in the area. Perhaps I'll move once I get to retirement, if I can find the means to do so.
    2
  2145. Oh, they’ve dusted this off again? It’s trotted out every time birth rates ‘drop’ below an economic level meant to meet future industrial productivity i.e. cash flow. Heigh-ho for a future of government-controlled breeding/eugenics programmes! Babies are still being born and we need to clean up our environmental messes for their sakes just maybe not exactly for this reason.
    2
  2146. I’ll tell my husband. He mocked me for my stand against Amazon as a Tolkien fan.
    2
  2147. Ever heard of overtopping? It’s when a reservoir is so full that spillways can’t cope and water flows over a dam’s crest. Some events are minor, but any overtopping can cause damage which, unattended, results in total dam failure with fatal consequences for everyone and everything downstream. Just sayin’, Sir Starmer. Interesting fact.
    2
  2148.  @skylx0812  Iger’s a woman now? Didn’t see that one coming!
    2
  2149. Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado”: need I say more? Omg! You reference the Ancrene Wisse! Kudos, Simon 👍
    2
  2150. Swap Klaus Schwab’s heroes Ernst Blofeld, Sigmund Stromberg and Hugo Drax for more social media relatable ones like Sam Brinton, Dylan Mulvaney and Lia Thomas. And don’t forget to add a pin supporting the latest thing to all his outfits. Then, if anyone doesn’t like the Klaus Agenda, his PR team can go full out to discredit them as [any defamatory label that fits the scenario]. Just one last thing: don’t forget to ban the phrase “ka nama kaa lajerama”.
    2
  2151.  @ComradeCommissarYuri  which is fine for an adult, but not for a child!
    2
  2152. No open ground or soak aways, and no way to fix that.
    2
  2153. Starmer just put on the hat and pushed the envelope, as they say.
    2
  2154. Told you to wait…
    2
  2155. Food comes into the UK via aircraft. Hm.
    2
  2156. The patience? Having dealt with a number of people who can’t seem to comprehend simple written information, I’d say they don’t have the intelligence.
    2
  2157. I’m sure there are some Labour MPs who are as horrified by their leader as everyone else. But how do they escape their obviously unbalanced leader’s clutches?
    2
  2158. Cautiously hopeful. Cavill + Games Workshop + fans = Amazon will probably want to agree. A lot. An awful lot, considering the Rings of Power debacle. EDIT: Dan Abnett has written Black Library audio dramas as well as a books. Maybe he would like to do some live-action scripts?
    2
  2159. The A303. They parked up, took the tunnel, and walked past the signs requesting they don’t go closer. Simple, really.
    2
  2160. Er… the self-employed pay tax and National Insurance. Unless they outright own a very large company and can afford to pay accountants to move money offshore (which actually costs more than paying one’s dues).
    2
  2161. It’s all about buying the IP name and then complaining that the toxic fans have ruined everything. Over and over. The definition of failure.
    2
  2162. Hate speech! We’re not allowed to use the word ‘poof’ any more!
    2
  2163. The gentleman is entitled to his opinions, but he’s clearly playing the victim game for kudos. He probably also believes he’s not being racist.
    2
  2164. Here’s an exercise you can do with a map and a pen. Starting with London, draw a diagonal line towards the Scottish border. Now note the cities that line crosses, and check their modern demographics.
    2
  2165.  @darktenor4967  absolutely! And check out The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, Smith of Wooton Major and Leaf by Niggle! The BBC did us proud.
    2
  2166. Waiting for Starmer to pop by and formally ask. Learn something about the British Constitution.
    2
  2167. Many in the UK are starting to ask if we can close the borders. The politicians won’t even consider it.
    2
  2168. When you think about it, the whole of season one could be an Invasion of the Body Snatchers set-up for the actual Secret Invasion story. There’s a million people who’ve been replaced, potentially many of them in positions of power all across the world, to say nothing of certain superheroes and heroines. Given there are also Skrulls who genuinely want to settle down quietly, G’iah is facing the dilemma of being caught between two opposing factions, let alone the enmity of the whole human race; godhood made impotent unless it’s to destroy everything. That could be an interesting proposition for another season but I can’t see Disney Marvel pulling that off in any meaningful way.
    2
  2169. They have a right to preach. However, the cruel and brutal punishments meted out if their idea of justice was implemented would of necessity result in criminal prosecution under UK law….
    2
  2170.  @richarddutchholland4780  and I'll bet a significanrt number of your "families with children" turn out to be single parents.
    2
  2171. I’d be interested in an study examining whether there’s a link between transgenderism and the attitudes displayed by a certain demographic.
    2
  2172.  @gailmartin8834  sorry, I should have noted NY appartments.
    2
  2173. It’s a script that all actresses and actors have to adhere to or never work again. All Ms Zegler has done is improvise a little.
    2
  2174. Ah, sweet, sweet satire. Get it while it’s hot and before it’s banned.
    2
  2175. Er… well… about that. The enemy declared war on Britain. If we’d done nothing to counter that…? Look at the Channel Islands between 30th June 1940 and 9th May 1945 for a clue.
    2
  2176. It’s almost as if the film’s underlying message is an oblique threat to transgenderism 🤔 Edit: me being serious: Having studied myth and magic from a young age, I’m aware of some horrific ritual practices designed to impart sexual power, cure illness and promote immortality. The victims are usually children or young people, because they possess the vital spirit or innocence the practitioner/celebrant wishes to harness. This is not black magic (as most people might call it), but a cultural mindset we in the West have largely abandoned thanks to organised religion and the Age of Enlightenment. Btw, those benefitting from these beliefs are, for the most part, men; those suffering are children and women, although certain men can be targeted (ginger/red-haired, for example). The Sound of Freedom has pried the lid off a larger can of worms than you might realise.
    2
  2177. Tbh, releasing the CCTV footage is naughty. It’s supposed to be in-house only, and anyone outside the organisation requiring to see it has to apply for permission, stating the reason(s) why it’s needed, even the police. I had assumed that airport services had deemed putting out the footage was in the public interest. After all, the phone footage was carefully curated and did not represent the whole incident, which might well have triggered an unwarranted backlash against airport staff or the police. Oh, wait. Didn’t a mob besiege a cop shop in a completely different city?
    2
  2178. I’m concerned that the letter “M” has pox. This could have a serious effect on our language… You must’ve heard that careless talk cost lives 😜
    2
  2179. Should we refer to that as: doing an Eric?
    2
  2180. Call it what you will, this is going on right now with the trans agenda.
    2
  2181. I bet a lot of NYC citizens are watching “Escape From New York” to get some tips.
    2
  2182.  @gdfggggg  if I may: women are more likely to be empathic, which is why they can be exploited and manipulated by people on the Dark Tetrad.
    2
  2183. There’s probably as many atheists in every world religion as there are hypocrites.
    2
  2184.  @ashleymyers3100 that kind of ‘affordable housing’ used to be described as a slum. Seems to me the NYC plans are merely sub-dividing properties, recreating the bad old days. I’ll bet the rents stay sky-high.
    2
  2185. And that’s why the illegal migrants are now referred to as “irregulars”. Don’t forget that the Ottoman Empire tried to invade Europe twice!
    2
  2186. You know, when things get too crowded, there’s always scope for… Reducing the Surplus Population. Please look that up. Dickens was making an important social comment.
    2
  2187. The writers wanted a 'Gimli hitting the One Ring' scene of their own.
    2
  2188. Confirmation that certain demographics are over-represented in prisons and are running dangerous gangs.
    2
  2189. No need to test for IQ. Just ask their EQ.
    2
  2190. “Drift: say something inspirational. I fight better when I’m angry.” Ratchet, IDW Transformers, MTMTE.
    2
  2191. Hang on: is this applicable only to English? Htf can I learn over 300 other languages in order to check if the speakers are breaking the law?
    2
  2192. @Carebearbreeding Leicester Labour MP who was caught… being friendly in a gent’s loos. Had his fingers in a lot of pies. As unpopular here as the memory of Labour MP Greville Janner.
    2
  2193. Millie and should be investigated for fraud, and all his cronies investigated for collusion.
    2
  2194.  @TheRaptorXX  oddly, both spellings and meanings seem appropriate.
    2
  2195. Because, of course, no man has ever done this to his wife.
    2
  2196. That’s always been the plan: overwhelm the system by weight of numbers and presenting difficulties in finding out who exactly you are, and those in charge will take the easy way out.
    2
  2197.  @jamespaul6315  yes, because the source material is somewhat specific about that. But I'll let you into a little secret - most of the Fellowship wouldn't have cared a button about that if Amazon hadn't followed the now all-too-familiar fan baiting process that TCD describes here, because the moment it started, we knew what kind of disaster was coming. And then Amazon upped the ante with the insulting "Superfans" (read that with air quotes) trailers...
    2
  2198. Of course not! They said “sorry”. 🤫
    2
  2199. It’s good to see that asylum seekers keep up the practice of popping back to the terrible place they fled for a holiday, to receive traditional medical treatment or see their dear old Mums 👍 For those who aren’t aware, this has been happening since Blair’s day.
    2
  2200. I believe history will regard that speech to be the opening salvo across the EU’s bows. The unelected Eurocrats have been warned; let’s see how they panic.
    2
  2201. The actress playing Cleopatra previously starred as Anne Bolyne. Anyone guess which historic figure she’s going for next? Given she’s twice played royalty, I’m thinking Catherine the Great would be a perfect fit.
    2
  2202. If our new Labour government send Diane Abbott over to celebrate Kamala’s ascension the consequences could be dire.
    2
  2203. But think of the benefits hem-hem…
    2
  2204. @ it's a problem in Germany, for sure, and in France. Cover-ups probably sanctioned by the EU... Come o think about it, the EU is more than not implicated in GB cover ups.
    2
  2205. Didn’t the USSR use actors to attack their political opponents and label them?
    2
  2206. I wonder if Labour will announce their shiny new replacement for Universal Credit which introduces nil benefit for rw thugs?
    2
  2207.  @tma2001  panto is for children and drag is played in pubs late at night with the artists telling blue jokes women could not . What you've banned was a uniquely American horror.
    2
  2208. Whatever Biden did in his lifetime, I still feel sorry that he’s so ill and is being used like this.
    2
  2209. I despised the younger Brand but, years later he has matured, as I hope we all have. I do wonder if his recent shows about corruption running deep in the US government system hasn't triggered these accusations, given the ongoing political assault on Trump (who I still don't like, actually).
    2
  2210.  @disparutoo  well, I know someone who repeatedly questions me for answers I can’t give - and I don’t mean the one about life, the universe and everything.
    2
  2211. May I? This is a very “peaceful” invasion. In 1529, the Ottomans failed in their attempt to seize Europe, and tried again in 1683 (look up the Seige of Vienna). What we’re supposed to do is apologise profusely for Europeans beating them back twice, just as we’re suppose to apologise for the Crusades. Bullies always blame their victims.
    2
  2212. JP - I’m offended that you’re offended with KonMari when you’re clearly sitting in an offensively tidy space.
    2
  2213. Frank Welker is voicing Velma's father? That's more evil than G1 Megatron ever was.
    2
  2214. That man wearing woman-face is the epitome of toxic masculinity. The crowd dare not applaud him - that’s empowerment. I’ll bet the next slew of beauty queens will be men.
    2
  2215.  @princebuster93  about the magical boar with the comb and shears between his ears? Or the bit you can look up in archaeology books or - and here's the easy way out - check out the Time Team in Hull episode (if you can find it).
    2
  2216.  @muffinman4544 you’ve been suckered, haven’t you? This AI is a misnomer because, while it is Artificial, it ain’t Intelligent. Those driving this engine want you to think there’s no human agency behind it. GIGO.
    2
  2217. I think it boils down to critical thinking. The fans are able to think for themselves and are free to criticise.
    2
  2218. Schrödinger's Cat: three states, depending on the Open University (undead zombie cat) or Sir Terry Pratchett (bloody furious, but that might specifically only apply to Greebo). Both might be jokes but you never know… Maths has some way to go.
    2
  2219.  @artnull13  she's into existential nihilism? Maybe sh'e argue she's fake. too. and implode.
    2
  2220. Er…you do understand that a spy is a covert operative who stays active/alive as long as they can by not greeting everyone with the line: hello, I’m a spy. This is why we in 🇬🇧 have MI5 and MI6.
    2
  2221. Al Gore, @12:46 - ‘we would lose our capacity for self-governance on this world’. Proof right there that the WEF are aliens and fear the Pukon will send in his Treens if they fail to control the planet for the Galactic Empire?
    2
  2222. That’s Willy Wonka now? He looks like the Artful Dodger.
    2
  2223. Completely confused by the term ‘lady fingers’ as I couldn’t quite figure out how okra became involved in English funerals. Dyslexia can be fun! I’ll pass on the biscuits, though, thanks. I don’t like ginger. EDIT: I love those memento mori poems.
    2
  2224. Back in WWII, those'd be anti-British words. We ain't done yet.
    2
  2225. So: your alternative, please?
    2
  2226. Noooooooooo! Unless it’s homemade, but lemon and orange are good.
    2
  2227. Try having a logical conversation with a Dark Tetrad personality. They know they are saying or doing wrong but pretend - primarily for their own sanity - that they don’t understand their victim(s) objections. The easiest example would be making a joke out of something a Narcissist, Psychopath or Sociopath said or did; they’ll all instantly claim they’re offended and may seek immediate punishment for the joker. Machiavellians, btw, will laugh along and deal out-of-proportion retribution later.
    2
  2228.  @mightyhunter3772 forget it? On the contrary, they’re being told it never existed.
    2
  2229. 30 years+ No one should ascribe a diagnosis of NPD unless they are a clinical psychologist, but this video clarifies the situation for those of us who aren't. Thank you.
    2
  2230. I’m pretty sure the MSM did not create this situation. They were trolled, my dear.
    2
  2231. Please don't mock John Larson: I think he suffered an absence seizure, or maybe a TIA? Considering he remained upright, and didn't start asking for ice-cream, he could be the next Democrat leader.
    2
  2232. There will always be ‘fans’ - the ones they make up as part of their delusion. Damn, but that’s made me think: paranoia?
    2
  2233. Reporter is confused over the origin of this chap. Obviously thinks he’s from China.
    2
  2234. My sons have sworn that, when they have children who ask a question they can't answer, they're going to say: "ask my mother". They reckon I've had a lot of practice.
    2
  2235. If people object to the tyrant, he'll trot out some suitably intimidated individuals to dutifully state that he's not a tyrant. They might be paid to do this, a canny politic move, but it's more likely that, if they don't do as they're told, something valuable to them will be destroyed, most probably their families. For actors, directors, writer, film crews etc etc the ultimate threat is being blacklisted and never able to work in the industry again. Think carefully before making accusations of shilling.
    2
  2236. I’m afraid that there’s too much fake feminism around these days, and a tendency for some nasty people to use actual feminists as scapegoats.
    2
  2237. As a dyslexic who reads exactly what’s written, I’d say the journalist doesn’t grasp the difference between “drives” and “driven”. Or it’s blatantly disingenuous.
    2
  2238. If there were aliens flying around in quick-moving ships, someone in one of those jets would’ve grinned and flipped the cover off the firing button while drawling: challenge accepted. What? That’s the most obvious response!
    2
  2239. How the heck can Labour be involved in the US elections?
    2
  2240. Let me get my head around this: a black chap is complaining about an English portrait gallery being too white? Would he like to go to China and complain there’s too many portraits of Chinese Party Leaders?
    2
  2241. Landing Strip One.
    2
  2242.  @kalieffoster4607 Jessica Drew, the original, once absorbed powers from four other women claiming the title. I have some hope that she’ll turn up and do the deed here, too.
    2
  2243. Winnie took the fall so Mandela could be reimagined as a saint. Ain’t saying she wasn’t involved; he needed a lieutenant while he was nicely packed away in safe house arrest.
    2
  2244. Our money is being thrown at foreign nationals, other countries, and Millibrand’s bank account. Starmer’s father was a tool-maker.
    2
  2245. I know a good story about real people who do normal jobs but are forced to react to extraordinary circumstances: ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.’
    2
  2246. You know nothing about the history of education, do you?
    2
  2247. Disparu, remember: the future is built upon the ruins of the past and the past is dead...
    2
  2248. Ah, I notice one of you - or YT - removed my reply. No defending fem vs t-people!
    2
  2249. Not baiting Israel at all, no siree. Yet another attempt to play the victim for UN support.
    2
  2250. @TrevorMelbourne-ef1in well, we built an Empire which wasn’t predicated on warfare. Maybe those who are more bellicose believe we’re weak as a result?
    2
  2251. … and famously “deleting” himself at the end of Kraven’s Last Hunt. Maybe the new movie will be about his psychopathic resurrected character, where Madame Web has to step in to stop Spider-Man killing him?
    2
  2252. Wherever he is, Douglas Adams is laughing... Edit: Thirty minutes later, it hit me. This is a reply to A Spaceman Came Travelling, isn’t it, BB?
    2
  2253.  @lulou14MerMa  don’t worry - it won’t. We need to be worried about algorithm generated propaganda programmed by humans.
    2
  2254. To the old USSR of Stalin.
    2
  2255. @DesHewitt-mj8lb dunno about that. I’m terribly fond of Blake’s Preface to Milton and “I Vow to Thee my Country”.
    2
  2256. OMG I have an iPhone 7!
    2
  2257. There is no resurgence of the Right. It’s just a lot of normal, working class people who are right about the dangers of immigration and terrorism.
    2
  2258. This is why I'm not a member of The Tolkien Society; the temptation to commit Darwinism would be too great.
    2
  2259. We have the books.
    2
  2260. I enjoy writing 'fan-fic'. Keeps the mind active, researching canon and turning out a well-rounded story, if only for my own amusement. I've also played a RPG where I was regularly asked to create the temporary characters required to fulfil plot needs. Not one was a self-insert... not even the power-hungry, knife-wielding religious maniac with a grudge...
    2
  2261. One word: Marcusianism.
    2
  2262. “Afra” is a girl’s name meaning “woman from Africa” but, since no one knows what a woman is, this could be a deemed a hurty word.
    2
  2263.  @leonIdas002  cochineal. Good old-fashioned dye, that. They renamed it so you don't know it's there, so it's not there any more.
    2
  2264. I’m so waiting for someone to tell me they’re cis-gender and demand non-pronouns: I’m going to ask them what isomerism they’re expressing and to confirm their preference for syn or anti. It’ll be interesting....
    2
  2265. Our local Caribbean Carnival was not just cancelled but totally banned this year. No explanation. However, all left-minded DEI specialists will be happy to know that the Pride Parade - carefully shelved in June because election - is running on the 31st of August. It’s said to be bigger and better, and it’s crippling the entire city for most of the day.
    2
  2266. No pay rise? How terrible bwah-hah-hah-hah… cough Sorry: don’t know what came over me there.
    2
  2267. Climate change ideology was born out of the anti-nuclear movement’s need to came up with “viable natural alternatives”. Those who had this idea were no doubt still congratulating themselves when they were trampled underfoot by opportunists scenting easy profits. I understand that Hinkley Point has two new reactors due online 2029/31 just when Net Zero really bites. How… convenient, unless the anti-nuclear climate change mob go Podpeople and get the project shut down during Labour’s tenure.
    2
  2268. Ebenezer Elliott: What is a Communist? One who has yearnings for the equal division on unequal earnings. Idler or bungler or both, he is willing to fork out his penny and pocket your shilling. That was written about 250 years ago and obvious proof that the tenets of Communism have been around for some time. And that’s a lot of ‘we’ll do it right this times’...
    2
  2269.  @Itsmeagain828 yes, same here. I keep wondering if someone monitoring YT doesn’t like truth.
    2
  2270. Get a hymn book and find I Vow to Thee My Country.
    2
  2271. There’s certain population movement going on in England right now, heading for the big multicultural cities. Wonder why?
    2
  2272. We've lived in this world for about the last fifty years! About, oh, twenty-five years ago, my employer announced opportunities for women to move into higher management. However, at the 'big push' all-women meeting, we realised that we'd be promoted, not on our skills and potential, but our ethnic origin, youth and looks. We told them 'no' and walked out; the subsequent bunch of diversity hires lasted only a few months, then male colleagues took the jobs.
    2
  2273. That sign language issue: the hired person clearly identified as being able to sign, so there’s no problem, right? I’d be interested in knowing what this interpreter onscreen is saying, though! My skill level stops at the very basics.
    2
  2274. Many of these millionaires are moving to Italy or Switzerland… or the UAE. Hm. I wonder why some are heading for the Moslem safe state…
    2
  2275. Oh, I say. That’s unfair to mustelids.
    2
  2276. I suspect no one can define an asylum seeker any longer.
    2
  2277. Checks first, though. Here in the UK, there's an awful lot of false documentation and not every small business owner can tell that from the real deal.
    2
  2278. Dunno about documents, but I do know about “An Essay on the Principle of Population”, 1798, by Thomas Malthus.
    2
  2279. A three day strike (the most popular kind) means a drop in wages that take the strikers below the next lowest tax threshold. Ergo, not much of the wage packet is lost, if anything at all. Just sayin’.
    2
  2280. That explains the pile of helmets: she was building the girly equivalent to a throne of skulls for Khorne.
    2
  2281. Young people have always died of various illnesses or accidents It’s just that someone is leveraging the statistics for a particular purpose.
    2
  2282. Poor little mite was chibbering - wide-eyed and shaking with terror - what had that family done to her?
    2
  2283. “One law for the lion and ox is oppression.” - Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, 1790.
    2
  2284. The common misconceptions of life in the Dark and Early Middle Ages will never cease to amaze me! In theory, none of our ancestors survived.
    2
  2285. My MIL was attended by a Jamaican ward sister during her final illness. The lady was damn good at her job. That’s the thing, really: people are people, and the amount of melanin in their skin is irrelevant.
    2
  2286. Can we have some details of those fleeing the UK by racial origin and/or religious belief? It could be very interesting..
    2
  2287. The majority of gender ideology’s victims are girls. Just sayin’.
    2
  2288. Mythology underlies all fantasy, but deliberately warping facts from the source material for fear of ‘cultural appropriation’.... no. Wouldn’t that actually be ‘cultural misappropriation’? Then, literary source material being bent out of shape to meet The Message is another no-no. I like my D&D and my S&S, and Henry Cavill is a treat, but yeah: I wince a lot at Netflix Witcher.
    2
  2289. If a man holds a door open for me, I instantly suspect lions, tigers and/or bears are waiting on the other side 🤪
    2
  2290. Free flights to Gaza fir every single one, no matter their self-identified gender!
    2
  2291. Poliomyelitis?
    2
  2292. Gas? God? Goodwill?
    2
  2293. Well, if a Western degree is regarded as better than a Chinese degree, that goes a long way to explaining their students’ tendency to cheat.
    2
  2294. As a woman, I’d happily stand on that second pedestal and be sure to help him down that big step with a big smile.
    2
  2295. I think you’re referring to post-humanism? Basically, our scaly overlords are hoping to become immortal by placing their brains in cyborg bodies (in the manner of Ghost in the Shell) or otherwise uploading their consciousness. Huge philosophical issues there before we even get to the technology. Think Skeksis, standing on a dying world, shouting: We will live forever!
    2
  2296. We’d like to, but we’d just be faced with accusations of istisms and sent to the gulag… or ignored.
    2
  2297.  @jacquitidsey5971  maybe those MPs know something of Russian and Chinese history?
    2
  2298. No surprise - footage taken at “recent events” contradicts the MSM narrative.
    2
  2299. New Parks Street is located in an ethnically diverse area of Leicester which is blessed with the highest crime rate. The Tesco store is a good one, though, much frequented by DMU students. Leicester people are referred to as woollybacks, a reference to the town/city’s place in the historic wool trade, although it might also serve as a cynical reminder that the majority baa for Labour.
    2
  2300. Yes, the anti-Brexiteers are out in force. Yesterday, an online group of them cordially informed me that I’m an uneducated idiot because I challenged their cant. And, yes, they wholeheartedly supported inheritance tax on farmers plus all the other economic disasters this government has perpetrated.
    2
  2301. A court - a bloody legal forum run by state-appointed judges - says it’s ethical for a biological male to compete in women’s bench press if said biological male ‘identifies’ as a woman. That tells you where the real problem is and why real women daren’t complain. PS: JP, I’d love you to officially compete. You look stunning in that pink bra 😂
    2
  2302. I’ll bet that was written by (so-called) AI! PS: if that chap worked in the UK since his student visa ended, I’ve no issue with him staying. I’m more concerned about incomers and locals who skive on benefits until they retire and get a full pension with more concessions!
    2
  2303. Hm, the Wicker Man and Midsommer are entertainment and my ancestors did practice cremation...
    2
  2304. Not just criminals, but crazies QED.
    2
  2305.  @johnkeane1419  I hold a B.A. Hons in English Lit and Lang (1982). So many times I've been told I'm fick, 'cos everywon can reed 'n rite, yeah? [insert facepalm] Unfortunately, I do believe that there are more trendies in Humanities, since some of us are easily conned by highfalutin' arguments.
    2
  2306. A centralise electronic currency: nothing can possibly go worng.
    2
  2307. Might I recommend a few R.E.Howard short stories: “Hawks of Outremer”; “The Shadow of the Vulture”: and “The Footfalls Within” which isn’t about the Ottomans but is equally interesting.
    2
  2308. There’s Mengele - and then there’s hundreds, possibly thousands, of medical personnel from all disciplines experimenting on vulnerable children and young people. History will not be kind.
    2
  2309. @jjefferyworboys8138 frustrating, isn’t it? Our King is powerless to meet their demands, so they start calling for an end to constitutional monarchy. And not one of them aware that this is an outcome desired by Labour and LW anarchists.
    2
  2310. Dark Tetrad personalities…
    2
  2311. Consider me impressed. Musk has opened the proverbial can o’ multiculturalist worms. Things are going to get “interesting” pretty much globally.
    2
  2312.  @Solsys2007  usually the bard’s fault. (Yep, my D&D character is a bard.)
    2
  2313. I’m interested in anthropology, most especially the cultural significance of mythology and the transmission of memes. I also have an amateur interest in genetics. And I’m continually fascinated by the modern application of the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
    2
  2314. And here we are, 3 years later, when Disney, Aunty Beeb and Russell T. I-Only-Get-These-Headaches Davies doubled down. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet! (Probably because, like me, you won’t be tuning in to watch Dr. Who ever again.)
    2
  2315. Hey, did you know that David Lammy is described online as English and British?
    2
  2316. I've never watched this Allie McBeal people keep referring to, but my copy of the She-Hulk origin comic is in one of my Marvel collections boxes.
    2
  2317.  @Keeki95  normies...
    2
  2318.  @HeadCannonPrime  I mean, it's not as if Marvel has any more superheroes, is it? Got to go superheroines or nothing... But you are right about the need for recasting.
    2
  2319. Oh, Cherie! Tell dear Tone I’ve got your back!
    2
  2320. I hope S Sir likes strawberries and clotted cream. I’ve some in my fridge at the moment…
    2
  2321. Say what you will about the lockdown, the atmosphere cleared up lovely in GB, but the money train rolls on.
    2
  2322.  @sexygeek8996  you only hired people with a Science degree, I take it?
    2
  2323. If the information coming out of China is true, they’re in a terminal economic nosedive… Oh, hang on…
    2
  2324. Lols I’m on UK minimum wage, so I can’t imagine having such high incomes!
    2
  2325. You think it’s coincidence that the tide began to turn at the New Year just as Elon challenged this government about the (hem-hem) grooming gangs? Do you feel the change in the wind?
    2
  2326. Expediency and it’s cousin, Greed. When Ignorance comes along for the ride, things get even nastier.
    2
  2327. That’s sexist! You missed out Cleopatra.
    2
  2328. Read an early SW tie-in novel where a non-Jedi, Force-using woman was referred to as a witch. That was long, long ago, in an IP now far, far away from the total mess we’ve got today.
    2
  2329. The climate equivalent of The Cass Report, then?
    2
  2330. Good grief! I’m classed as a civil servant, and I’m on minimal wage as it is.
    2
  2331. Dylan looks radiant. Must be all that free Bud Light he’s been drinking in his bubble bath.
    2
  2332. My ex popped by yesterday. He couldn’t stay long because he was rushing home to watch Dr Who with his brother. I was informed that I’m missing a great new series… not that I’ve watched any tv for 20+ years.
    2
  2333.  @steptay  truth or scapegoating?
    2
  2334. I am still amused by the use of the spelling “reign” - to rule - as opposed to “rein”.
    2
  2335. In this instance, I think the change was deliberate and very important. “Irregular” has several meanings…
    2
  2336.  @im3phirebird81  that's the point; the 'feminist propagandists' are propagandists who are set to destroy real feminism. Think of it like promoting somone at work and then making every single presentation, meeting and email about them being the bestest to the point where the entire staff get sick of it and end up despising the promotee.
    2
  2337. It’s obviously Cybertronians. They take on the forms of what they perceive as local life forms. We’re all destined to be offlined by an Underbase-powered Starscream.
    2
  2338. Affirmation means: “something that is affirmed; a statement or proposition that is declared to be true. Confirmation or ratification of the truth or validity of a prior judgment, decision, etc.” So, in the inverted language of today, affirming = lying.
    2
  2339. Can you package some of that for the UK Labour Party, please?
    2
  2340. Sir S is causing as much damage to the country as quickly he possibly can. When he steps down for a successor, don’t expect things to improve one jot.
    2
  2341. This is why Starmer has promised our armed forces. Numbers not strength.
    2
  2342. “Once to Every Man and Nation” - if you don’t know the hymn, look it up. I rank it alongside “Jerusalem” and “I Vow to Thee My Country”.
    2
  2343. In the late 1960s, members of the Labour Party publicly stated they’d destroy England - and Britain - because maps used to have too much pink ink on them. They sneered at the US, too, while rushing to embrace EUrocraps who hated anyone resisting their control. The Tories fell into lockstep with this hatred, and here we are. Huge amounts of debt, lies, and fraud. Trump’s type of administration is needed throughout all Western countries.
    2
  2344. ⁠ @martaescobar7625 what do you deem old?
    2
  2345. Grassroots useful idiots meets carefully curated Islam. Interesting.
    2
  2346. Starmer is trying to drag Britain into what could end up a direct strike on Russia? Yeah, that’ll end well.
    2
  2347. Bingo!
    2
  2348. Looks like the YT mods are going harder since the Trump win.
    2
  2349. Read ‘Slow Tuesday Night’ by R.A. Lafferty. That’s where we’re heading right now. PS: science fiction didn’t present us with the dream but warned us about the nightmare.
    2
  2350. A blessed Samhain to you all!
    2
  2351. Alcohol 🍷
    2
  2352. Comedy holds up a plain mirror to show the distortions of reality. No self-satisfied, po-faced, humourless extremist can tolerate that.
    2
  2353. The “we don’t have enough babies being born in order to support the aging population” is a Ponzi Scheme. The earliest tranches of immigrants have reached retirement age, and some families have (understandably) brought their elderly parents into the country, adding to that number. We’re now on a treadmill that we can’t get off!
    2
  2354. Got me by the second line 😂
    2
  2355. A time for peaceful reflection and prayer q.v. Hamax.
    2
  2356. I’m shocked, I tell you. Shocked!
    2
  2357. The lockdowns were intended to slow down the spread of COVID so that the medical authorities could cope with influxes of the sick and dying. It’s not about authoritarianism.
    2
  2358. We, the people, do not accept it. But we, the people, are law-abiding citizens. And we, the people, are very well aware that power has been placed in the hands of politically-motivated DEI proponents who’ll see lives ruined if there is any disagreement with their interpretation of the law. I believe we’re somewhat cowed by all this as we remember our school days, when the victims of bullying were punished for retaliating, while the bully was mollycoddled.
    2
  2359. As we’d say in the UK: ah, the usual suspects are celebrating our season of goodwill. Merry Christmas to all my US cousins 🎄🇬🇧🇺🇸
    2
  2360. I’m stealing that! Flagism!!!
    2
  2361. Answer: propaganda.
    2
  2362.  @satyakisil9711 I discovered carrot halva only recently - it’s lovely!
    2
  2363. I don’t know. I’m pretty scared what the demographic will be discovered to have been up to next.
    2
  2364.  @ardendragoon  dang, yes. I'll never be able to swoon over a 3D version of Gladiator. But, given what the studio did to Adam Warlock...
    2
  2365.  @TheMountainBeyondTheWoods  dismantling a people's past, their history and their mythology, is a mechanism of conquest or tyranny.
    2
  2366.  @LaxyDrey  oh, they'll flip out over anything... that's histronic personality disorder for you.
    2
  2367.  @thedude5740  being kicked inna fork hurts all of us, but it hurts men more, hence my mother teaching me the sharp-knee technique. She also told me about the go-for-the-eyes technique which works on everyone.
    2
  2368.  @Daisyduck323  that's why some US wag relabelled them "irregulars".
    2
  2369. I don’t think society is getting dumber; things are pretty much as they’ve always been. I mean, every generation laments that the newer ones are dumbing down! What we do have, though, is the internet. Envisioned (by those who should’ve known better - I met them in the early 1980s) as a way of spreading information and education, it’s become a tool for social engineering, propaganda and plain old banality. Is there a solution other than turning it off or making it accessible only to academics? I don’t know!
    2
  2370. Oh, I dunno. There’s US Democrats and their supporters saying equally stupid things!
    2
  2371. @octordoctorpuss7337 possibly people not being able to add their names to the petition? Incidentally, there are people noting that, after the Kemi incident, they were unable to pay their dues to join Reform.
    2
  2372. I have never been able to get rid of my live FB account despite instructing the platform to close it over eight years ago. ‘Welcome back’ messages pop up every so often if I even drift near any of its online tentacles. Zuckerberg must be making gerzillions out of data scraping.
    2
  2373. The Gates Foundation Trust acquires a 0.1% stake in AB, having previously acquired 3.76% of Heineken back in February 2023. Small potatoes, really, but something to keep a weather eye on, especially if more barrels roll their way before the end of the year.
    2
  2374. I was a little saddened that Roller didn't transform (even manually) to integrate with the battle-station trailer.
    2
  2375. Oh, I reckon Silverbolt (G1 Transformers) would’ve expressed fat-phobia if a human that large clambered aboard him while he was resting in travel mode. Concorde aisles, let alone seats, were even tinier than those of today’s passenger planes. PS: I walked through a fuselage at the RAF Museum in London: claustrophobic!
    2
  2376. My Gen Z boys are still at home and single in their 20s because we’re working class, the epitome of the Surplus Population.
    2
  2377. @ianl1052 hate to point this out, but Labour introduced Building Scools for the Future (BSF), which the Tories, having stupidly stopped, reintroduced as the Priority School Building Programme. The only schools not rebuilt in my home city are those in Listed buildings.
    2
  2378. This is going on in the UK right now but we have not D.O.G.E. to challenge it.
    2
  2379.  @beaugalbraith3891  yes, I do know that the exercise is still essential, duh. I did study biology. The healthy lifestyle is also great, if you can afford it...
    2
  2380. So, Britain is “behind the curve” of social instability affecting Europe (and every Western nation)? Starmer and his Labour Party are very obviously hurrying us along the well-travelled highway to heck in order to join the car crash.
    2
  2381. Those Marxist slurs have become meaningless through overuse. The favoured one at the moment is being frightened of a certain religion.
    2
  2382. Excellent news 👍
    2
  2383. I’ve just had a shill ad telling me that Obi Wank-enobi is fab and I should watch it. Oh, the irony. Edit: It’s been repeated at point 18:16 of Disparu’s presentation. Not just irony, then, but desperation.
    2
  2384. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s Super King! Don’t be some silly. Our monarch has not real super powers.
    2
  2385. I knew a few back in the day... about thirty years ago...
    2
  2386. How many UK politicians, councillors, police etc use iPhones? How many really good hackers are there in the UK and US?
    2
  2387. It is alleged that Afghanistan Moslem girls and women are to be confined to windowless rooms/locked inside houses, so as not to tempt men into iniquity. And that’s after enforcing a strict dress code where there’s not so much as a tempting hair showing. Even a concussed echinoderm clinging to a rock can work out what’s wrong with the minds that devised this.
    2
  2388. Perfect timing! Breaking and entering a construction site for online kudos à la Johnny Somali.
    2
  2389. Ohhh, whoopsie! How did China get that?
    2
  2390. If only the EU hadn’t forced the removal of the dam system put in place to deal with these common rain storms… Of course, the “experts” then turn up and quote climate change. I extent my sympathy to those caught up in the flooding and gaslighting.
    2
  2391. Good luck to you - you can obviously afford to have a family on one wage. As a working class woman, I had my two babies in my late - very late - 30s, when my husband and I thought we could afford to support them with our combined wages. It was a struggle… My now-grown sons have no hope of a job paying more than minimum wage, finding a wife, or affording a home if their own. We - my family and I - are The Surplus Population. Look that up and you’ll see exactly why we’re in this fix!
    2
  2392. Meanwhile, in Germany, a new poll proves no one will vote for the AfD, all support going to the two Leftwing parties. Think carefully.
    2
  2393. Isn’t our Left still wailing about Brexit? Now, we can see why.
    2
  2394. I believe there is xenophobia in the UK… but it isn’t coming from those who are really British.
    2
  2395. Unfortunately, I don’t need to imagine. I was born in the early 1960s.
    2
  2396. The RNLI are a great organisation. It’s a shame they’ve been dragged into this in their bi-centenary year.
    2
  2397. Monitoring dying brains? “The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar.” ‘Nuffzed.
    2
  2398. Well done! You spotted the shady elephant in the room! It’s one layer of encryption that will - oh, horror! - mean very skilled hackers could target certain accounts. That’s accounts even Apple can’t legally look at. Thine and mine? Oh, I think not…
    2
  2399. If I may use a phrase currently doing the rounds in Britain? Not Right Wing - just right.
    2
  2400. A friend showed me clips of a Republican comedienne. Can’t recall her name: absolute total bad ass, though, totes skewered Wokeism.
    2
  2401. The internet is forever, isn’t it? How inconvenient.
    2
  2402. @QQ_241 when someone informs you, unironically, that they know what you’re thinking, it’s referred to as covert verbal abuse.
    2
  2403. Another example of how Starmer thinks: this is all quite legal and has nothing to do with politics.
    2
  2404. Okay, they got the fawn out of the water, but they should’ve taken him/her to a rescue centre. Poor thing was possibly miles from mother and likely dead within a day. Good job, no brain.
    2
  2405. Maybe Sir Starmer is just sensitive about hurty nicknames? Or he’s upset about being lampooned? 🤔
    2
  2406.  @mariussielcken  rather: the means do not justify the ends.
    2
  2407. China already got tech better than that : it identifies people who have become non-people, shuts down their social profile plus access to jobs and food, after which it advises them they can't have a C-19 vaccine anyway.
    2
  2408.  @marhawkman303  spot on. Then the Skrulls came for Earth.
    2
  2409. “The Troubles” Mk2.
    2
  2410. Late comment but…. Are Afghan migrants being given driving lessons so they can find work as food delivery operatives or taxi drivers? And where will they get the cash from to buy a vehicle? Hm.
    2
  2411. Don’t go to Spain! Their Leftists are demanding more illegals and less tourists, so I’m pretty sure they won’t welcome ex-pats.
    2
  2412.  @spindoctor6385  you'd be surprised how many. A lot of young people don't bother, but the number rises when you get to older middle-aged and oldies like me.
    2
  2413.  @southernreddog9319  what about? The number of deaths?
    2
  2414.  @raymurphy9749  you're welcome
    2
  2415.  @henrytravels7567  wish it was in the UK.
    2
  2416. What’s a bingo hall? Actually never entered one! Too busy in my spare time with long walks, reading, and tanking on World of Warcraft.
    2
  2417. I suspect there are some as yet unfeted Labour MPs who could revive the party, but would they want to?
    2
  2418.  @codymadison9993  ever seen Danny la Rue? Man had the legs and figure for a female impersonator. Barry Humphries' Dame Edna was a fantastic and much-loved creation. Don't forget Kenny Everett's Cupid Stunt, either! A man in a dress playing a role isn't an abomination. A man in a dress behaving in a way that should get him arrested is.
    2
  2419. Thomas Robert Malthus published ‘An Essay on the Principle of Population’ in 1798. This introduced the idea of the Surplus Population (the poor) which had to be reduced by promoting celibacy and making it difficult to marry or raise children while not countering disease, alleviating starvation or preferring peace over war. If only he’d thought about state-enforced neutering…
    2
  2420. Ah, the wonder of Nigerian Pidgin!
    2
  2421. I’ve recently seen a lot of whoo-whoo stuff coming back. There’s a new generation of conmen making a lot of money!
    2
  2422. Labour once publicly stated they’d destroy England and, with it, all of Great Britain. They’ve been the enemy within ever since the end of the 1960s, slowly poisoning our economy, culture, and cities.
    2
  2423.  @franksespool8150  yes - I've been to Scotland, Wales, Spain and Portugal. Your point?
    2
  2424. That’s a creepily sardonic short film. And I can already hear it going whoosh over a lot of people’s heads… The worse dystopian future I ever read, though, was that of Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron”. EDIT: immediately after the vid, YT presented me with an advert for a cruise liner with the rejoinder ‘enjoy yourself’.
    2
  2425. I think the polite term is “chuff off”.
    2
  2426. I’m sorry, I couldn’t help but start humming “Convoy”.
    2
  2427. Spectre… Has Ernst Blofeld been spotted out there yet?
    2
  2428.  @av201  from Greeco-Roman times and even into the music halls period, it was generally thought that women were barred from the stage, but that's probably as a result of bans on religious or social grounds (like the Edo rulers in Japan banning women from Noh/Kabuki). However, it was common for Medieval European travelling troupes to consist only of men as the roads weren't always safe. It's... a bit more complicated than we were taught back in our school days.
    2
  2429. I thought he believed they can grow internal buoyancy apparatus.
    2
  2430. I was married to a Narcissist for an awful long time. He could be “offended” if I disagreed with his point of view, or said something he thought was a personal attack on him, or remarked that it was a lovely sunny day… The rage meltdowns were always illogical and truly something to behold. I know it seems baffling - it did to me for the longest time - but boils down tactics of entitlement and control. In fact, whether it’s individuals on the Dark Tetrad or cults or whole ideological groups, it’s all the same thing.
    2
  2431. Who do you think will be blamed? The patients agreed to the interventions, after all.
    2
  2432. We’ve never fed them. All the money was sidelined into weapons, and the lavish lifestyles and private bank accounts of the biggest bullies.
    2
  2433. There’s a fantastic view from those windows. Front row seats when Godzilla or some other kaiju takes down the Brooklyn Bridge. Worth every dime 😂
    2
  2434. I think the young woman wanting to find someone who looks like her for future romance just needs a mirror. She’s a Narcissist!
    2
  2435. To Obama…
    2
  2436. Absolutely. But I’ll bet our leaders will be offering to take in a whole slew of those single men in the near future.
    2
  2437.  @budgiecat9039  I got that vibe, kinda like he's 'meh'.
    2
  2438. Ouch. That’s so biting it rankles to the bone. Well done, BB. But you know, there’s abusers out there who don’t recognise this is satire...
    2
  2439. 🤫
    2
  2440. Ah, you need to come to the UK and stay on a river barge!
    2
  2441. These brave attackers often strike from behind. No chance to run.

  2442. As Gul’dan said to Hellscream: everything…
    2
  2443.  @angrydiver_4220  no, feeling sorry for someone with advancing dementia.
    2
  2444.  @qaztim11  you know the usual cheer that they've 'subverted expectations' will be mooted around within the next 24 hours. I was getting in early, before the rush.
    2
  2445. I believe I can see why Labour would want to do this. Grab some quiet time, sit down, and think!
    2
  2446. I am frequently annoyed with the ‘high status warrior woman’ diagnosis! In this case, the lady might just have been a small but well-set individual, her muscles the result of regular work. Possibly she had a few accidents, too, along the way, or got into a few physical arguments or suffered abuse… who knows? Then, the very problematic abscess and associated facial damage was never considered as the cause of death, just mentioned briefly along with a hint at sepsis.
    2
  2447. You all forget: s/he who writes the minutes controls the outcome of the meeting. Worked for me - and the company - on numerous occasions.
    2
  2448. “This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper.” TSE (The Hollow Men) in point.
    2
  2449.  @kilburn1313  a list of dubious chemicals. Does coconut oil taste like wood pulp?
    2
  2450. Flights? Wow! Most of ours pop over the Channel on little boats (to England from France)..
    2
  2451. No, it’s believable. Well, it is to people who’ve previously suffered campaigns of abuse. Private DV is one end of the spectrum, state-sanctioned oppression at the other.
    2
  2452.  @matthewowen5663  and do what? He's a constitutional monarch only.
    2
  2453. Hey, not the first time the SA focus has been turned on the native Brit boys. Remember when the first grooming gangs got sent down? My son’s school had a visit from the plod, warning wht teens they risked arrest if they used double-entendres and other Carry On level jokes.
    2

  2460.  @martianproductions997  I have studied fairy tales, myth, magic, religion etc since childhood and I understand that changes happen, usually in the oral medium. My greatest fear is that someone will literally burn the books and ban all storytelling but their approved line - y'know, 1984? That's why I care about original stories and their more modern descendents, including Star Wars. It does appear that the studios cannot even make sequels these days; they just get hold of a formulaic script, buy a title to slap over the top and happily bastardise away. But could we be sure, in the current climate, that there wouldn't be even more damaged if in the public domain?

Have you ever asked yourself: is Tom Bombadil a reference to Blake's Urizen? Tolkien wrote a great story upon which a lot of scholars have based their life's study . For an easier read than many, might I recommend the collection of essays entitled 'Meditations on Middle-Earth', edited by Karen Haber?

  2489. There is no legal definition of “woman”, so anyone or anything can self-identify as a “woman” and be treated accordingly. Ergo, since a “woman” doesn’t legally exist, this individual cannot legally self-identify as a man and must not be treated as a man. Being present in a men’s prison would cause an outbreak of cognitive dissonance, see?

  2490. The euphemism most commonly used was “undocumented”. US politicians and MSM swapped to “irregular”, which the UK quickly picked up.

This is in a forest glade, which he thinks is nice but it’s better to take her to his castle. The coffin, however, is accidentally dropped, which jars the piece of apple out of the fair maid’s throat, so she wakes up. Joy all round. A political marriage is sealed. The non-consensual kiss is nothing compared to that slew of innocent symbolism.

True, there have been a few glitches since Magna Carta (June 1215), like Charles I, who declared himself absolute monarch by divine right, started the English Civil War, and got his curls bobbed… terminally with extreme sharpness. In fact, the monarch is advised by the Privy Council, who really hold the power: they’re legal experts with K.C. after their name. Oh, btw, Starmer is a K.C.

  2501.  @RokushoTheRavager  I'm 63, lovey, and don't give three flying monkeys. Real feminists want an end to the abuse and exploitation of women and children; the Woke's fake feminists want to cancel women and throw children to the fetishists. It's a bit like the Faustus quote - Heaven's light and this are oft confused.

  2502.  @thecensoredmuscle563  point is: real feminists were portrayed by the media as hating familes where, in reality, they wanted - and still want - to ensure women and children are safe from abuse and exploitation, and not just in the West. Look around you. Ironically, we have the Woke to thank for making the truly horrendous fetishist underbelley of society feel free to come out of the sewers and parade naked on the streets. They're coming for your children...

The antagonist is going out into the open to kill those destinied to kill him in the future before they kill him in the future, but they're only going to kill him in the future because he went out into the open and tried to kill them in the present. And the one who killed him earlier than the destinied death he saw in the future said he hadn't seen his real future but she was destinied to kill him in the present because he came out into the open to kill them because they were destinied to kill him in the future.

  2533. Just stepping in: Freud was forced to abandon ‘seduction theory’ because male members of both medical and scientific communities didn’t want the reality of child sexual abuse brought into the limelight. He dutifully came up with a paper proving that the child desired and initiated sexual contact… Why is feminism - core feminism, real feminism - so disparaged? Because a core tenet is stopping the abuse and sexual exploitation of women and children. Ain’t no smoke without fire, and that fire has been burning a long, long time.

  2594.  @wendylpa yes! It’s referred to as reducing the Surplus Population! An Essay on the Principles of Population [Malthus, 1798] basically advocates for the church and state to enforce celibacy, and make it financially impossible for the poor to marry or, if they do, unable to afford to raise a family. Does this ring any alarm bells yet? Overturning Roe vs Wade has hidden connotations when considered in this context and, of course, transgenderism is nothing more than propaganda driven neutering (or eugenics, as it’s more correctly called), although some predators and fetishists think it’s all for them. A scapegoat is always useful to distract attention away from those driving the propaganda. If women don’t agree with The Message, they are despicable TERFS - if they agree, they are ‘feminists’ - if they break under coercion and state-orchestrated pressure, they are to blame for the outcome and, helpfully, have already been conditioned by society to blame themselves. It’s taken me years to reason this out…

After that, there came the New Romantics… Thank goodness Tyson wasn’t around spouting his disingenuous stupidity then. EDIT: He’s not very knowledgeable about social history either, is he?

  2605. Hm… I’m still waiting on trans-men beating real men in various sports, and women telling men to go oppose it.

  2607. Reading the comments, some wiser and sadder people are spotting the signs of advancing dementia (possibly Alzheimer’s). This is one reality of the illness; not every sufferer acts like Joe Biden.

  2608. You know that, when they make Superman a SJW model, it’s all over. Farewell, America; I’d remind you to switch off the light on your way out, but it seems that you’re already in the dark.

  2612. I believe the County is guilty of prejudicial behaviour in releasing the indictment ahead of a formal decision. That breaches Article 6 of the Human Rights Act.

  2620. I’m in two minds about home schooling. On the one hand, I’ve spoken with parents who have chosen to home educate, providing a full curriculum and exams usually because they could afford tutors or, certainly in one case, because many in the family were teachers anyway. However, I’ve also spoken with parents who pulled their children from school for various reasons (some quite spurious, imo) and didn’t bother with teaching much. These parents often want their 16-yo to continue in education because Child Benefit… My ha’penny’s worth: homeschooling is a viable option only if it’s more closely monitored than it is. All those claiming mainstream education is indoctrination should be challenging that and not getting sidetracked!

  2621. Cromwell was an extreme Puritan who made laws (he was a lawyer, you know?) against individuality, freedom of speech, and anything fun. He banned Christmas celebrations, ffs, because they didn’t sit well with his personal beliefs. “Lord Protector” indeed…

  2622. A Party member confessing his past crimes against the Party, admitting personal guilt, and grateful for the support of the Party in saving him from wrongthink. Now, where have we heard that before? Do not be fooled! This is a conveniently timed exercise. An embarrassment is being used to prove it’s essential to closely monitor social media and get access to all phones. For our own good, of course!

  2630. @ we have a constutional monarchy, a little something we started with Magna Carta. The King has no power; what power he appears to have is, in fact, a polite fiction. On the plus side, having a monarch + Privy Council and House of Lords usually steps in to prevent the government doing some really nasty, illegal and/or stupid things... usually...

  2633. Have you ever read the Star Trek story ‘The Procrustean Petard’? It was written 40 years ago and seems very relevant right now. Don’t check out a synopsis, since many are agenda driven; get the full text and then make up your own mind.

  2635. We Leicester people always assumed Richard was buried over the road from the cathedral (that’s what was written on the memorial stone that used to be in the nave) on the land which belonged to the poet, Robert Herrick. During his lifetime, Herrick also placed a memorial plaque for Richard in his Grey Friars garden. Richard III was reinterred at the cathedral on my eldest son’s 18th birthday. He said it was the best gift he ever received and would last him his lifetime.

  2639. I’ve been told that the mummy of Cleopatra VII has been examined and it’s proven that she had black skin. Firstly, we don’t have Cleopatra’s mummy. Secondly, unwrapped mummies may have black skin owing to the mummification process; ‘mummy’ is derived from the Persian/Egyptian word ‘mummiya’ meaning ‘tar’ or ‘bitumen’ (which is why cheap mummies were used as fuel in Egypt before those weird Europeans arrived and asked after souvenirs). Wonder if the Afrocentrics will give us a documentary on Empress Wu next?

  2641. I recently received an online comedy course about sustainability and fighting climate change. Well, I think it was a comedy. Some of us out here have actually had a proper education and can recognise a crock of lies.

  2642. @dragospeta3812 built by people serving their civic duty who were overseen by skilled builders. Didn’t always work out though: the Bent Pyramid is an interesting example of the designers getting the sums wrong. The limestone Giza plateau has lasted because the (relatively) modern rainfall is so low.

  2647. Ah, you’ve just noticed the gameplay. Annoy the eff out of the Western population until they say “enough is enough” and a new unity arises (not necessarily through the EU). What use has the WEF for a world without the impetus to design, create and innovate? Well done!
    1
  2648. So many people looking at the vid and saying they’d just run the protesters down… The people in the spot were more phlegmatic than that because this is England and we don’t, as a rule, think we’re acting out a Hollywood film scene. Besides, if the lady needed to get the child to hospital really urgently, maybe she could’ve dialled 999?

  2649. I’m surprised that President Biden hasn’t yet broken a hip. He’s clearly very frail. I wonder if the people behind the scenes prefer to keep him going for as long as possible rather than risk the Vice-President taking over.

  2655. My son’s University tutors referred him to Wiki as a primary research tool. One article he recently showed me was last edited in 2018 and several others some time in 2021. But he’s studying art rather than politics.

  2656. Marxism 101.

  2657. Shared Archetypes are the bedrock upon which societies are built. Conquerors banned, overwrote or destroyed the beliefs and the gods of the conquered. We’re engaged in a culture war - a morality war, too - with those whose personal egos make them the perfect vanguard of, well, whoever is driving this politically-motivated agenda.

  2658. It’s still happening today. Some high-performing students at a local College are being singled out and threatened or physically assaulted to the point where they are refusing to return to complete their studies. Mind you, I can confirm there’s no racial or sex bias here; the male and female victims encompass many creeds and colours.

  2663. Sorry, sweetheart. Coercive control may have a huge impact on the victim at the time and/or in the future. It’s also common for abusers to enforce their control by means of threats backed up my the occasional near-miss or actual physical “reminder”. I wonder how many DA perpetrators have been released early because something else they did fills a tick box?

  2664. Funnily enough, I’ve been thinking about conscription since Micron… sorry.. Macron announced he’s as silly as Starmer. Yes, let’s advise the young foreign men in all our asylum hotels, flats, houses, and gaols that they’ll be joining special regiments of the British Army. Let’s see what happens next 😈

  2665. “Toxic masculinity” is behaviour detrimental to men, women and children - society as a whole - rather than masculinity in itself being toxic, which seems to have become the modern definition. In response to this perceived attack on all men, we hear the term “toxic femininity”. This actually means women giving up their own mental and physical needs to sustain the needs of others and is, in fact, a Patriarchal concept! Now, about “survival of the fittest…”
    1
  2666. I’m in favour of cities exclusively for trans activists. Nice, safe cities, protected by big walls, with every luxury available: food, drink, megaphones, fetishwear, materials with which to make banners… We can search for survivors of the Victimhood Wars after, say, a year?
    1
  2667. The Labour government has deliberately rushed us down the primrose path to perdition, trying to catch up with the US, Canada, Australia, and the EU. In focussing on Britain’s issues, the citizens of these countries/EU countries have realised just how much they’ve been slowly duped by Woke/DEI/multiculturalism. Hold onto your hat: it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

  2668. Is that correct? Tony Blair’s government removed High Treason from the statute book? How… convenient for him, his cronies, and his puppets.

  2672. Note the “to ensure we got the desired outcome” part. I rather suspect the outcome Starmer intends is retaking control of our borders and opening them, then getting the gangs to work as waged facilitators for any and all “irregulars”.

  2673. Cue Asterix and Obelix jokes…

  2674. ‘The past is dead’ is a phrase often bandied around these days by those who’d destroy or rewrite it to meet their personal narrative. Unfortunately, this includes many vying for power who seek social destabilisation through suspect political agendas without direct conflict as a means to obtain it.

  2678. Starmer isn’t the only megalomaniac, then?
    1
  2679. The US was disintegrating under the Democrats, and they’re still whinging about their ideology and money being stopped. Trump’s election has scared the Democrats’ equivalents in the EU and UK. They’ll scurry to cause more chaos than ever, knowing their time is limited.

  2686. Wokeism in action. The bit where self-obsessed adults who expect the world to provide for their demands are told “no”. But don’t worry about them; they’re loving the opportunity to claim how oppressed they are by those who voted for Trump. PS: I think I’ve encountered the male followers of Harris online. They want women to be disenfranchised because they voted wrong

  2693. Simple! The law stipulates that all employers must advertise jobs, so they do - even the jobs that have been already filled by word of mouth or insider movement. As a result, companies ask for impossible requirements, particularly entry-level candidates aged 16-21 to have ten years experience. This has been happening for decades. I used to work in the jobs sector…

  2714.  @gabrieljimenez7845  most people are against Political Correctness, yes: it's been a cornerstone of Labour policies for over 50 years now. However, I don't dispute that all political parties manipulate their potential voters; that's an evident truth. The problem I see over here is the influence of America. What you get thrown at you today, we inevitably get tomorrow, be that weather or Wokeism. How's that trade deal to force American meat onto the UK going?

Their influence was curated by persons of a certain political leaning intending to undermine our family structure, common sense, culture and community values, and woe betide any individual who stood up to their artificial mob. The MSM rather enjoyed playing in that cesspit. Those Gen Z who survived the bullying and poison are rejecting Wokeism/DEI/Political Correctness. My sons and their friends are voting Reform!

  2722. Deporting whole families together is a huge step forwards. Every Western country should do this, helping those few parents left to cope with raising a child or nine alone while filling out all those forms to get the alleged spouse - or whoever - back into the country “legally”. But more must be done because this humanitarian move isn’t going to assist the majority of irregulars, given they’re almost exclusively men. What will this new Border Czar do for them? (Hi from 🇬🇧, where we are all agog with anticipation.)

  2727. Good grief! As a total nerdess and geekess, I’m glad I was born in the early 1960s, because I’d have been a target for those promoting the cult of transgender… and my Dad would’ve had Something To Say With Them. I was often mistaken for a boy and, later, a man, even when I was 7-months pregnant with my second child!!!

  2735. At least 25… I have a son who flirted with the trans agenda for a while, then rejected it as illogical but an individual’s choice, and now, aged 24 going on 25, is becoming opposed to it. However, one huge caveat: if 25 is the go-for-it age, there must still be safeguards, especially to weed out men with kinks or Dark Tetrad personalities that could present a threat to women and children.

  2736. Standardised spelling wasn’t a big forte in the Middle Ages and so our hero Hood (or Wood) may have the forename Robert, Robin or Robyn. Which begs the question, why didn’t Director X - brother of Doctor, cousin of Malcolm, and possibly a reject from a certain Canadian superhero Project - go that last step and make her a trans woman? Then he could accuse us nerds of being transphobic, too, and get extra Brownie points.

  2744. The climate change money-grab lie has been responsible for an awful lot of human suffering, not just those people/children enslaved for cobalt mining.

  2758. This could be fun 😈 Imagine updating the school as often as EVERY WEEK depending on the child’s most recent interest. A tank engine - Spider-Man - astronaut - fashion model - the list is as endless as a child’s growing imagination and sense of self. Remember, you can self-identify as anything in Woke (Marcusean) philosophy and must be affirmed.

  2759. If the show was anywhere near documentary realism it’d feature a proper British lad who, after watching a few Shakespeare films or reading Chaucer, rolls out to wolf-whistle a passing lass, getting shopped by an offended snowflake who heard about the incident from a friend of a friend who saw an online post from someone who was passing at the time. He’ll be tracked down by intrepid police, arrested at school in front of his class, and charged with non-crime hate. Finally, justice will be done and he’ll be banged up for the rest of his natural lifespan. Meanwhile the lass will get befriended by a lovely older man from abroad who, concerned for her welfare, introduces her to a group of friends. They’ll swear to loyally protect her if she agrees to do whatever they tell her is good for her. This will be A Good Thing and she gets to claim benefits as a single parent.

  2762. The Skrulls in the MCU are not the real Marvel Skrulls. Those ‘tested’ the Cotati (look ‘em up) and the barbaric Kree to decide which should represent Hala in their Empire, and the latter basically ended up massacring the lot. The Kree then used captured Skrull tech to advance their civilisation. The Kree are the aggressors, but Skrull arrogance started it. The war’s a long one, but Ronan reignited open hostilities when he tried to use Earth, which sits equidistant between the two factions, as his war base. In the MCU: your guess is as good as mine, given the current Woke mindset that there’s neither good nor evil.

  2795.  @luispolanco5966  I am a female and I bloody well haven't aksed for this Female Empowerment, nor have my friends. It's propaganda meant to drive an eventual backlash against women and put them back in their place. When we object to anything, we're told that we're evil feminists who wanted this or that we're hysterical. You know what? I now believe there really is a Patriarchy in the US. FYI I started reading comics in the Silver Age and loved (most of) those hunky heroes, so I despise this modern Woke crap.

  2816. During 1980, while at University, I saw an emergency doctor, because I had stomach pains and vomiting which had lasted two days. Must have been due to severe anxiety, because I’m a woman, right? Promptly given a prescription for Valium and sent on my way. Another day, another emergency doctor and it turns out that I had a nasty case of food poisoning… I avoided that bullet but a lot of other students were taking these drugs regularly.

  2817. Sir S is so Woke, he can’t define what a woman is. Any woman who states she’s a woman is, therefore, not a woman. However, anything that says it’s a woman, dresses like a woman, and parades around screaming it’s a woman, is a woman. He probably thinks isn’t misogyny.
    1
  2818. Think about it: a critical step in dehumanising people is to believe they’re little more than beasts. If it’s impossible to define ‘a woman’, then about 51% of the world population is not part of the human race. Go one step further and, well, you can happily exploit women in the sex trade or force them into submissive roles or, yes, kill them with impunity. What Patriarchy? Just sayin’…

  2838. Please! I live in a small UK city where the local council is hellbent on packing the inner city with as many people as possible. A huge and useful office block is now being converted into hundreds of tiny flats, and over a hundred more will go into an empty retail unit inside a shopping centre (aka: mall). Multiple other conversions are under way, creating upwards of 5000 new flats in the next five years AND the council wants to build 2500 new houses on brown land. However, there are no plans to create jobs, so we’re probably going to turn into a dormitory city or Megacity One.

  2883. I firmly believe the ‘real’ ad is a parody, because the actor is clearly channelling Dylan Mulvaney and the script is OTT. Honestly, I could see the late Kenny Everett making it. But it’s going to backfire on North Face because we’re no longer laughing as we would have even ten years ago. Ouch. Btw, just ahead of Pride month, the LGB community is now openly stating that they want nothing to do with the T+ fwits. This June could be interesting.

  2884. I used to work (lols) in the job-finding sector and can advise you that this is nothing new, except the perpetrator can now perform on worldwide social media rather than before a small live audience.

That said extreme measures then cause real fear, mass death and destruction is, of course, wholly incidental. It’s a tried-and-tested method from the handbook of the psychopaths who crave domination and control.

  2892. “The Guide says there is an art to flying", said Ford, "or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” Obviously, our truly vegan friend here managed to master the fine art of the self-created reality but failed to master the knack.

  2893. Chihuahuas are the most dangerous animals in the world. They're literally teeth with fur and eyeballs. I'm surprised you survived, but I guess you only got bitten once before an adult sacrificed their life to protect you.

  2904. Aaaaasaggggghhh! Crabapple jelly or a jam belong with good rice pudding, and a quality coarse peanut butter is delicious on table water biscuits with a radish topping. That bread does look lovely and I’m sure it’d be perfect for posh cucumber sandwiches. Hello from the UK.

  2905. Didn’t the US recently cop a Chinese spy deeply embedded in a Falun Gong supporter group? And a few who’ve infiltrated local, regional, and possibly national political bodies? And I understand there’s a lot of industrial espionage under investigation. The CCCP has been very busy and very, very naughty for decades. Usually, the public would never hear about countermeasures.

  2912. It’s impossible to satisfy the demands of a Narcissist, because their souls are bottomless pits. They obtain validation through domination and control, one way or another. If they can’t get positive supply, they’ll manufacture and take negative, so it’s difficult to fight them; once they’ve exhausted your goodwill, they’ll mine your anger and despair. Give up, Disney. You’re now at the point where you can’t win. Your choices are quit with dignity or dig your own grave. I note that the reee-brigade have already forced you to rescind your cull of Disney+ so I’m guessing you’re doomed.

  2917. It’s rise of the weak bully: venomous, mean-spirited, entitled and abusive, and so very fond of playing the victim. Those little bits of irritating grit in society’s shoe who make life just a bit more difficult for others. The type who embrace authoritarianism because they get a kick out of using borrowed power, especially because they can control stronger bullies and send them to really, perhaps terminally, hurt their targets.

  2919. Since Sir S can’t define what a woman is, I’m not sure his party can define whether misogyny is terrorism… I suspect this is intended to stop the viral spread of classic Bernard Manning jokes which is chronically destabilising society. EDIT: have another think, lovey. This may be meant to shut down any wrongthink about the fakest of transwomen invading women’s spaces.

  2942. The reason rents are so high in the UK is fraud. EU criminal gangs saw the opportunity to manipulate the Housing Benefit system by claiming rents of £200pcm were actually £450pcm. Real landlords got onboard. There you go. It’s all contributed to reducing the Surplus Population…

  2945. Hm, Aeon/Thelema? The cult, created by Aleister Crowley in 1904, has members worldwide. Thelema worships the fundamental Earth Mother… It professes the opposite of capitalism, looking for Marxist perfection, and has the tenet “Do what thou will shall be the whole of the Law” (which means personal freedom without shame, but is open to more… unpleasant interpretation). There’s a lot to unpack, and I can’t give a lecture here. Look up both Aeon and Thelema, also Aleister Crowley and, if you’re keen, the involvement of Ron L. Hubbard.

  2949. No doubt some young… person… wanted the old lady out and this was a handy sledgehammer. It’s probably indicative of age discrimination! PS: DIE and transgender are routes to transhumanism which appears to be based on a fear of death and the ages old (lols) dream of becoming immortal.

Whatever it copies, the original owners should receive royalties. Now, go read Slow Tuesday Night by R.A.Lafferty.

  2960. My Dad, born 1903, used to tell me stories about walking from his Birstall home to visit relatives in Narborough (Leicestershire, England) in the company of tramps who regularly stopped by The Spike (workhouse) to get a bed and a bath, and have their clothing cleaned, repaired or replaced, in return for a few days of work. He maintained that he’d eaten good workhouse bread and porridge with fruit in it, which I have always assumed was some kind of frumenty or gruel. This episode brought back those memories - thank you, Max!

  2964. But JP, well known naturalist Alexander Neckam, in his famous 1180 book De Naturis Rerum, writes that a basilisk is hatched from the egg of a rooster incubated by a toad; a later contributor noted that the toad might be self-identifying as a snake. In 1260, the term basilisk was challenged by the more socially acceptable term cockatrice, acknowledging the rooster’s stunning and brave commitment to gender inclusivity. I am shocked that you did not cite any of this in your video presentation.

  2965. “We” didn’t. The Labour Party has been trying to punish England, and Britain, for not caving in to Socialism.

  2966. I try to treat all people with respect, but I’m reaching the end of my tether with all of these overt Narcissists, Sociopaths and Machiavellians who are being supported by covert versions in positions of power.

  2971. I don’t pay a tv licence fee because I don’t have a tv or use live streaming of tv products. But, as a taxpayer, I still fund the BBC; we all do. That’s the devil in the detail. PS: my ex actually pays for a tv licence for me because he’s terrified I’ll be prosecuted. Go figure.

  2972. Denethor’s mind and will are broken by his using a palantir in which Sauron shows him a future of nothing but defeat and doom. I guess the old Numenorean king is filling that role in RoP. But Tar-Miriel has seen things Galadriel hasn’t, so she’s one up there.

Later on, she gets to watch the evil Queen put to death, too.

  2990. We can learn a lot from Islam - we learn a lot about it through the almost daily reports on free media sites like this one. And I, too, am uncomfortable with Christianity. Did you watch the sermon delivered after Trump’s inauguration? Or perhaps you’re a Catholic and now wondering if you must choose between your faith and safety?

  2991. So? Greville Janner met my school trip to parliament. It wasn’t unusual for the local MP to meet children who may become their future voters.
    1
  2992. ⁠​⁠ @natel7151 yes, because the tactics used to convince, coerce, and terrify patients and their carers are those employed by scammers and abusers. Any public or private body pushing young people into the mill could be questioned about culpability and, possibly, acting as procurers. There is no time limit for raising these allegations. Additionally, any court dismissing a case without due consideration will raise questions about impartiality, which is another can of worms. This whole matter is going to be, to put it mildly, interesting.

  3047. Wikipedia, Sexology: “The term sexology was coined for the first time in the United States by Elizabeth Osgood Goodrich Willard in 1867. Roughly simultaneously a group of homophile activists, not yet identifying themselves as sexologists, were responding to shifts in Europe's national borders, a crisis that brought into conflict laws that were sexually liberal and laws that criminalized behaviors such as homosexual activity.” Look up the article. PS: it’s a bit easier than trying to comprehend Marcusian theories, the Marxist version of the same.

Btw, the trees are an example of creative accounting that’s probably been going on for decades. The current mayor is caught between the hammer and the anvil here, with the asylum pretender crisis having opened a can of very fat worms.

If you’re working, single, unable to afford decent housing on your own, and struggling to buy food, you’re never going to raise a family. The credit card is just another means to keep you in that situation.

  3052. I keep seeing posters announcing that there will be zero carbon by 2027. That’s carbon: not any specific type of carbon - like graphite, or Buckminsterfullerine, or the bit attached to O2 - just “carbon”. As a carbon-based life-form, I’m beginning to wonder wtf the climate change lobby is actually proposing.

  3059. I didn’t know that the Californian bill concerning affirmation of a child’s sexual identity was linked to divorce proceedings. So, it’s obvious that an abuser will add this to their repertoire in court as a means of continuing to abuse the other parent and a child or children; it’ll probably mean that women, in particular, will be even more afraid to seek help or a divorce to escape abuse where there is at least one child. EDIT: you spotted it! Yay! All of these policies are part of reducing the Surplus Population!

  3085. 6th February 2018, the BBC stopped using Met Office data for weather reports, swapping to MeteoGroup which became part of the private US weather services company DTN in September of the same year. Things start getting a bit dodgy there; the MeteoGroup, specialising in offshore weather monitoring, was challenged for generating inaccurate data, but DTN is supposed to be the bees knees in weather data analysis (among other things). DTN currently uses algorithmic based analysis - what many term, incorrectly, A.I. - to supply data to the US Climate Change Network (CCN) which, established in 1989, works on the presupposition of human-caused climate change… Needless to say, the CCN is an influential organisation, and their data is considered absolutely reliable… As you’re probably aware, the internet is a bit of an echo chamber on the subject of climate change, but I gather that the CCN may have developed, or contributed towards, UN Net Zero policies.

  3091. It’s not possible to “learn everything for free”. English and Maths classes are free; basic motor vehicle maintenance courses (usually) aren’t. Many short courses are community or interest, so no certificate at the end e.g. Crochet for Beginners. Welding courses are quite expensive and students get proper qualifications at the end. You might want to look at your local college or adult education webpages… And every course provider has to run Right to Study checks for foreign nationals. If failed, no free courses.

  3092. In the West, one of the most powerful fears of all, shame, is more prevalent today, I think, than physical fear. A tiny minority are using shame to control the majority; we must capitulate to insane, random and often contradictory ideas or be ‘cancelled’. Jobs, homes, families and freedom - lives - can be arbitrarily taken away by an anonymous individual acting from a position of spite, envy, cruelty or hate via the medium of social media whom others rush to support so they won’t be targeted or because they share the same pettiness. The jackboot to the face is now the jackboot to the spirit. No one is safe. One final thought: Socialist states frequently shame political dissidents by forcing them to confess to, and apologise for, their wrong-think. It’s a powerful tool, both angering and suppressing the populace. But this would never happen in the free West, right?

Surely you should be saying: we need to ensure only the best students go College, study hard and pick a worthwhile course? The major problem is too many students go College, fees are a rip-off and a lot of qualifications are of dubious quality. Challenge those things!

  3106. I’d dispute that the US gaols more individuals for minor crime. It was done to clean up the streets, and it worked, but that’s all in the past now. Look at NYC now, for example; turnstile courts even for serious crimes involving GBH. Although I do believe you’d need to examine the issues NYC is facing vs small rural communities which probably do still gaol sheep rustlers and habitual drunks.

Come to think about it, it’s like Saruman taunting Frodo amidst the wreckage of the Shire, but I digress… Amazon Prime Video is seeing investors in other platforms questioning where their money went and has started a critical examination of their own ahead of what might prove a significant sea change: Games Workshop is bringing Warhammer 40K to Amazon with Henry Cavill as their star and executive producer. There’s a lot of Warhammer fans out here and they’re as vocal as LoTRs fans (some of us are into both). I guess Amazon has started their own cull now, retaining the best shows as a welcome mat, since there could be an influx of new subscribers who might stay to watch more if it’s good enough.

  3172. Body integrity dysphoria is rare but very real. The sufferer believes that part of their body, an arm or leg, doesn’t belong to them; this might be the result of brain injury or some congenital problem, the part of the brain (usually in the right hemisphere) relating to the unwanted limb being unresponsive. The only available treatment is CBT and antidepressants. Doctors will not usually amputate a healthy limb, but sufferers may intentionally injure themselves which results in surgery. This is NOT the same as people who aspire to be disabled deciding to injure themselves to achieve their goal. This behaviour has links - surprise, surprise - to a fetish, where people become sexually aroused by witnessing amputations or undergoing them or having dubious relations with an amputee. There’s no monetary gain for this group, but others could easily disable themselves to access public funds. 'Transabelism' is not body integrity dysphoria and claiming that it is, is disingenuous. Then there’s identifying as disabled when you’re not, previously referred to as ‘fraud’. For years, the go-to has been anxiety and depression, but this new iteration is beyond disgusting. (Long post - sorry.)

  3185. This, people, is what actual racism looks like. And here we are, sent to the gulag because someone throws a (calculated) hissy fit over alleged hurty words or alleged wrong thoughts. We’re even developing a two-tier legal system in order to prevent offending offenders of non-Western heritage. Anyway, yes: get those genuine refugees out of South Africa. Then stand back. This has happened before, in Rhodesia, and history will just repeat itself.

  3187. I get my posts removed nearly every time I challenge the climate change narrative, so I'll just say that Arthur C. Clarke (q.v. short story "The Forgotten Enemy") may well be more accurate a future than the hysterical one touted by rather dubious persons applying rather dubious data. Also, I loathe dolls. I always have. As a sweet little girl, I decapitated more than a few. That modern art propaganda baby-thing is the stuff of nightmares.

  3193. It’s been obvious from the start that Starmer does not write his own speeches, and he still delivers them like he’s in court despite so-called voice coaching. But… I think you might be barking up the wrong tree. Every Labour policy is a fast-tracked version of the ones instigated by Left-wingers in the EU, Canada, Australia, and - the most obvious one - the USA under the Democrats. This is way beyond mere coincidence. Nor is it coincidence that every government is currently “fighting Right-wing extremism” and “popularism” while supporting multiculturalism and Woke/PC. We’ve not yet met the puppet master(s), but it isn’t a bunch of dubious Labourites.

Strange old world, isn’t it?

  3245. I watched a little of the ‘Mindy Kaling Show’ … sorry, sorry…’Velma’ and was honestly impressed by some of the intelligent, sharp-edged one-liners and cutting observations. However, I had to get away after about 10 minutes because it is truly too awful to sit through an episode longer than that - kudos to Disparu and the other critics for doing so. In my opinion, ‘Velma’ is the meanest piece of prequel pwning I think I’ve ever encountered, sneering at the innocence, genuine characters, sweetness and fun of the original series. It’s holding two fingers up to the people at Hanna Barbera and all of us who, even now we’re older, still love cartoons. Guess Mindy and her flying monkeys had ambitions of mocking and trolling some nerds while everyone joined in the joke instead of everyone turning on her!

He suggests it should be treated like that, with its standard start, middle muddle and end back at the status quo. In fact, he suggested that the format is sound. However, he noted that some bits are badly disjointed and some of the com is not funny. So, he’s given episode 1 a pass and is going to give episode 2 a look, but he admits he doesn’t know much about Shulkie.

The evil book and Black Knight story parody traditional Scooby-Doo, denouement and all. And there’s the “face our fear (of the man in the mask)” reference! This looks like a fun run of subverted references, actually. The characters (and, possibly, the voice actors) appear so self-unaware.

There’s a Time Team episode where it’s suggested that Stonehenge was THE gateway to the Otherworld, so what’s being kept out are the living, which is completely at odds with people being inside it at the solstices. Maybe I’m boring, but I can’t possibly be as boring as this version of Ashoka (and that’s the name of a Mauryan emperor c. mid 200s BC btw).

I loved Jack ‘King’ Kirby’s creations and, like a true Marvelite, have all the series. The Celestials made the Eternals and Deviants from basic early Mankind, becoming gods and demons. The original story was interesting and uncompromising. These gods weren’t candidates for halos and the demons were so damn tragic. This movie rejects, reverses and rewrites everything. And the whole premise that the human line can throw up mutants (like the X-Men) tied in so well once. PS: Sprite was a boy. The woman stuck in a girl’s body is so Anne Rice and a justification for certain types of men....

Certainly, social media is a two-edged sword, but there’s actively banning certain content - you know the sort I mean - and banning content that doesn’t support The Message.

And now the Labour Party is repeating the same hand-wringing, concessionary, sabre rattling, money-squandering, denial of reality logic espoused by the US Democrats while in office. I still wonder how both of these political groups gained power… Now the US Republicans are in office. They set up investigations and cut USAID, and the EU, among others, went crazy. Pay attention. There are more ways to fight, and win, a war.

I didn't tackle it until I was 16 because I knew it'd be a challenge, just as I didn't read 'Dune' until I was 16 and put off 'Titus Groan' etc. until I was around 25 (if I recall correctly). And I already had considerable knowledge of Old/Middle English literature and poetry, culture and legend. Or am I missing something? Are the books with the RoP covers some kind of dumbed down Woke version?

  3392. Huh? The Angles originated in an areas along the German/Danish border; and ousted the last Romans in possession of the lands of the Celtic Brythons (Britons), giving us the name Angle Land (England). The Saxons - named after their speciality weapon, the seax - came over from North German and the Scandanavian countries. My own paternal long-father was a Dane (according to the family history). Let's not even start adding the Vikings or the Norsemen/Northmen of France, 1066 and all that, because everyone was interrelated by that point. Soooo...... they had such a significant impact on these isles that practically all of today's English and a lot of Americans are their descendents. Trying to erase the term Anglo-Saxon because it's a hurty term is completely insane. Btw, my maternal line is Welsh, and the Welsh still regard themselves as Celts, a lot of the Celtic-heritage tribes having retreated into the highlands there. Guess that this charming intellectual who does not like the term Anglo-Saxon will be after cancelling the term Britain next.

  3470. We have a constitutional monarchy developed since Magna Carta was signed in June 1215. The King has no actual power; it’s a polite fiction; he cannot dissolve parliament unless the PM asks the Privy Council which directs him to give royal assent. Charles I had a go at claiming divine right, caused the English Civil War, and had his curls bobbed for it. His replacement, Oliver Cromwell, was a dictatorial religionist who had his head removed postmortem at Tyburn a couple of years later with cheering crowds in attendance. We do not want a Lord Protector/Presidente. The Labour Party would like to remove the Lords and the monarchy/Privy Council as they are stumbling blocks on the way to a Leftwing republic. Every demand to end the monarchy therefore plays into Starmer’s hands. Whatever you think of the King, I’m sure you’d rather not live in a country modelled on Starmer’s beloved China.

  3503.  @onojioboardwalk9748  I'm a Beast Wars fan and I'm going to see the film, period. And, yes, I found the Bayverse offkey, but at least I got to see CGI Cybertronians beating the Pit out of each other to classical music + Linkin Park. In no way will it suck as much as Gotham Knights, The Marvels and the cavalcade of direness with which we're being threatened.

According to the winning side, Wat started misbehaving at peace talks with the King, actually attacking the Mayor of London, only to flee with a serious wounds influcted by the latter and one of his retainers. The powers that be caught Wat at a poor hospital and executed him.

  3518. The main ‘mental health’ problem among Gen Z is cognitive dissonance. They’re the victims of organised (government!) psychological and emotional abuse, battered into accepting so many truths they know are really lies that they’re struggling with reality. This makes them vulnerable to further exploitation and control, and Tik-Tok is one of the major tools for constantly reinforcing their problems. You might not know it, but what you’re seeing is exactly the methodology an abuser uses to bring their victim to their knees and, sometimes, suicide - be that domestic violence or a nationwide tyranny.

  3521. Parents are being convinced to put their children through a destructive process because of institutions like the Vanderbilt. It’s about the money. Edit: threatening to commit suicide is a ploy often used by an abuser to frighten their victim into staying under their control. It’s disgusting to see the trans agenda supporters using the same threat vicariously against otherwise loving parents and, I’ve no doubt, putting the same threat in the mouths of children.

  3538. Brain aneurysms can be treated by two methods; cranial keyhole surgery or endovascular coiling. Both interactions can cause emotional or cognitive impairment, which might take some time to develop, and may be a factor in later dementia. A little self-education is in order here.

Isn’t it completely coincidental that, when Labour was elected and began chanting the same mantras as every other Western country, proof about the failure of mass (illegal) immigration was in the pipeline and moves were made against a certain terrorist organisation?

  3556. Transformers: Lost Light - the totalitarian Functionist rulers had cameras implanted in every mecha’s optics and shamed non-conformists by empurata (an anagram of amputate), removing hands and faces and, ultimately, minds. This expanded to a programme of eradicating all other species in their particular universe, because they were not Cybertronian; once they’d achieved that, they aimed to do the same through all universes. The rulers also manipulated their society with lies presented as truth because, while it might be easy to monitor everyone physically, they could not mentally. Fiction/fantasy holds the up mirror of reality.

  3557. That’s a fine statement made by the PM’s spokesman, a truly glorious mea non culpa. Allow me to elucidate: “Like you common folk, the PM isn’t happy that prisoners are being released early by Labour, but the Tories made him do it. Anyway, he needs the spaces for any of you common folk using hurty words.” Hm.

  3567. Wow, what an incredibly strong airline security woman; are we sure she’s not a transgender, too? Personally, I’d prefer a sharp knee lift to cause long-term pain and suffering as I can’t punch that hard. Joking aside, as a woman I can get behind the officer reacting in shock and yelling out ‘it’s a man’ or similar, and probably calling for a male officer. That’s not disrespectful, JP, just a natural and immediate reaction.

  3573.  @thursoberwick1948  agreed. A fully biological male, giving his title as Mr, wearing a pinstripe suit, beard and ‘tash and muttonchops, will announce he’s a woman and anyone daring to refute that will be cancelled.

  3587. JP, have you ever heard of The Beano character Calamity James? The comic artist always drew some background people wearing ‘I like lard, me’ t-shirts. This is a reference to our timeless English phrase: as thick as a yard of lard. Have you ever considered making t-shirts with a slogan identical or similar to this? You could donate them where they would best operate as a warning sign to those not requiring such apparel. You would, at little cost, be both a philanthropist and a humanitarian.

  3604. "Thug" -from Thugee (deceiver or cunning), a cult/crime gang operating in India known for strangling victims, although a dagger was often the second choice. Members not only preyed on travellers of all kinds but infiltrated every layer of government. Eventually pretty much rooted by the British. Modern apologists insist the cult was created as a fake enemy by the British or set up to oppose the British. Isn't history interesting? Well, until it's purged, sanitised, and remade to answer a different tune.

Daddy couldn’t possibly know about the bladed arms cache on the premises, and he didn’t order a knife online, so that was a surprise. It’s also a good job Mum didn’t mistake the ricin in the fridge for rice, isn’t it? Come on…

  3610. Gaslighting?

  3611. The people pushing the trans (and wider Woke) ideology have been conditioned to believe without evidence and so expect everyone else to unconditionally believe. Asked for evidence, they simply parrot the same phrases, using the broken record technique to break down resistance. Ironically, the very system that’s been exploited to deliver these kinds of lies - social media - has gradually made them obvious and open to challenge.

  3612. Tinker Bell represents the world of the child (children can be duplicitous and downright cruel, you know) and the tension between her and Wendy is, therefore, more critical (lols) than you, oh erudite Drinker, state here. Btw, when Peter returns to find Wendy a year after the main storyline, he has no idea who Tinker Bell is and it’s implied that she’s dead. Yes, it could be that playing that game is over, but it might well signify that he’s started on his journey to manhood and one of his boyhood memories has gone.

  3622. I’ll repeat this until someone listens: An Essay on the Principle of Population. Where the original promoted the use of Christian values to Reduce the Surplus Population, this modern variant refers to ideas probably thought up by Uncle Screwtape… or the WEF.

  3624. The biggest promoter of scapegoating is social media. Those with more extreme socio-political agendas have inserted a crowbar into the minds of the masses. Thus we have the current insanity around gender, which now commands a lot of airtime but is, in fact, best summed up by Shakespeare: It is a tale/Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury/Signifying nothing. As I write, it’s clear that women in the US are being scapegoated, and that their political persecution has begun. Behind those ‘gender politics’ lies something extraordinarily wicked. Imagine a future where ‘women’ do not exist; the concept and the word has been made redundant. How long before the concept and word ‘men’ does not exist? What shall we be called, subjugated, voiceless and broken, but slaves....

  3649. Tolkien is not a franchise. I’ve never read that he opened up a chain of LoTRs fanfic centres. What this is about is out-doing Peter Jackson, who also didn’t create a franchise. Good to know, too, that the Hobb… Harfoots are roving tinkers. I do enjoy the Somerset accents that keep creeping in.

  3650. And how exactly is Britain responsible here? A certain peaceful religion invaded large portions of Africa, forcing conquered tribes to convert to their cause, then used said converts to attack and enslave other tribes… Can we invite those demanding the cash to trace their lineages first?

  3651. Perhaps he’s becoming increasingly uncooperative as he’s realised that he’ll be tried separately - as an adult - for the alleged terrorism links. And there’s the possibility that he’s been apprised of personal disarrangement if he says something stupid at any point.

  3656. There is no ‘gender-fluidity’ involved with artistic, magic or religious representations from antiquity. It’s a symbolic duality and concerns matters of fecundity. Gods can be both mother and father; Hapi, god of the Nile and the inundation is a well known example. Occasionally, with philosophical/religious ideas, the hermaphrodite is the perfect union of male and female; in this case, I’ll cite alchemy. I respect your channel(s), Simon. Just don’t feed the crazy modern beast like this…

  3680. Sir S is trying to control the conversation by means of a passive-aggressive technique called deflection. A key feature is the relentless repetition of key phrases and facts which may be true, but could easily be distortions or patently illogical. Users appear robotic, devoid of emotion, and can keep going for hours, although they more often get increasingly angry and, in extreme cases, where the other party won’t back down, the final outcome will be verbal abuse or actual violence. You’re welcome.

  3685. Only recently, I remarked that it’s usually women who’re featured when potentially contentious social issues arise. I put it down to media selectivity and bias but I’m getting more concerned that it’s a deliberate tactic to set up a scapegoat..

  3686. ⁠ @sebastianhoward3304 oh, how shocking… not seen any propaganda the other side made? But I forget; WWII started a safe eighty-five years ago, so you feel you can be retrospectively annoyed by its lack of modern social affectations. By the way, there is a war going on right now, an attack on Western society, and Disney is at its forefront. Larry Fink told us what he intended.

  3692. I graduated in 1982 with a Humanities degree. The only politics we were required to discuss were AD 688 to 1604. Mind you, the UK was already in Societal Political Correctness Stage II at that point and I think everyone was sick of it, especially with all the finger-pointing and race-ist labelling of anyone who challenged the “new normal”.

  3693. That ultra-impenetrable, not-protected Empire power base in the middle of an ocean... They got it secondhand from the G1 Decepticons. And the plot, action and characters are an insult to anyone who watched 1980s cartoons. Why are there sonic screwdrivers in this, too?

  3699. I’d say psychopath. His need for control is a common factor in Dark Tetrad personalities, as are lying and making accusations against those he fears/hates. However, a psychopath is more prone to fall to a skilled liar playing on their paranoid insecurities than a mere Narcissist is.

  3704.  @jackjohn4156  saw the comic being mooted... the first issue cover refers to the Silver Dagger arc and I thought that meant 'What If Dr Strange had died?' and Clea became Sorceress Supreme. I've given up on comics post-2015 (except Transformers) so what actually happened, does anyone know?

  3708. Let’s see: “neither good or bad”. So, amoral, then? As in “lacking a moral sense; unconcerned with the rightness or wrongness of something”. I doubt this show will explore the motivations of such grey characters. It’s more likely there’ll be an inversion of good and evil, which is much the SJW norm.

  3709. Redefining or banning words is a way to limit and, eventually, control people’s thoughts. Both the far Left and the far Right recognised this; Orwell warned us about it.

  3717. Well, maybe Chapek outed the fact that Disney - he - is controlled by its staff? Those staff being people like Iger, sitting on the board… In which case, maybe that wasn’t a faux pas but a warning. Like: who is controlling the board?
    1
  3718. I understand that Formosus’ only words at the trial were: gottle of gear (in Italian, ‘natch). Seriously: Formosus preferred Arnulf of Carinthia over Lambert of Spoleto for Holy Roman Emperor, and only crowned the latter after some coercion. Now, Stephen had been made Bishop of Anagni by Formosus, much to his annoyance as he wanted something much grander; once he got it, Lambert came calling, and the result was the Cadaver Synod. Maybe Stephen VI was the instigator, but Lambert could’ve driven the scandal. Whatever. Two nutters were worse than one.

  3725. One way to reduce the Surplus Population is to prevent them getting married and having children. What better way than making it impossible to rent or buy somewhere to live? I’m not kidding. Look up: An Essay on the Principle of Population. It was first published in 1798.
    1
  3726. Starmer may well be receiving briefs and scripted speeches. This would account for his difficulties when he’s at PMQT, where he falls back on a bit of sarcasm, diversion and repetition of previously learned responses. If this is the case, he really is a puppet. But what’s behind that? After all, every time he makes announcements, more and more people are getting annoyed and Labour are sinking. Kinda reminds me of the way the US Liberals happily flew too close to the sun. Just like all the other Leftwhinge groups in the EU seem to be doing at the moment. Interesting, isn’t it?

  3727. Sleipnir has eight legs, because he’s a representation of the funeral bier. That’s why he can enter and return from Helheim bearing Hermod when the latter tries to win Baldr back. And yes, Loki did rather put it about a bit...

  3732. This has already happened or is happening in the UK, EU, Canada, and Australia: exactly the same rhetoric, the same bans, the same cry of “disinformation”, the same excuses, the same hysterics. The US experienced this under the Democrats, but they had an election… The anti-democratic (NB small d) Far Left groups which have quietly taken over democracy, assigning themselves powers, and undermining societies by the use of multiculturalism, DEI and audacious sleight of hand, can see the writing on the wall. If they don’t go completely tyrannical, they’ll fall; ironically, by going completely tyrannical, they’ve removed their carefully constructed mask. Pay attention, people. There’s a new WEF in Davos on the 20th January, the same day that Trump is being inaugurated. It’s going to be… interesting.

  3734. Living in Britain is now dangerous. Absolute strangers can report being offended by anything at all, including malicious stuff they make up. Worse, innocent people are constrained to report anything that might offend a weak bully who's listening in and spying or be reported for not reporting it themselves. These are signs that tyranny rules the land.

  3756. That was meant to be.

  3757. I’d just like to point out the elephant in the room: if you’re talking physically observable brains, there is little difference except in size (although that is pretty variable anyway across both sexes, usually predicated by body size). However, male and female brains do, in fact, develop differently in utero, due to the fetus’ own hormonal influences. There’s a discreet period in which this happens. The result has an impact on behaviours. Phenotype kicks in later.

Collectively known as the Anglo-Saxons, they founded what was to become the Kingdom of England by the 10th century, in response to the invasion and extensive settlement of Danes and other Norsemen that began in the late 9th century.” And that’s from Wiki! PS: my paternal ancestor was allegedly one of those Danes who came over after 886. I think there’s been enough generations between then and now to allow me to be called English.

  3796. Check out the World of Warcraft cinematic for The War Within. It’s all computer animated; no motion capture, no AI, although film was used for reference. Then compare to a quickly-created online AI influencer, and it’s no contest, you’ll not get fooled again.

  3801.  @mightyhunter3772  the mistakes of history only happen when the lessons of the past are deliberately erased - like now. This erasure has been promoted by the same people who are coming for the children, because you cannot have soldiers to defend your country tomorrow if the young have all been trans'd today. And yes, I am suggesting those promoting the trans agenda are propagandists and agitators.

  3802. On the one hand, our current government is too coy to enforce the rule of British law while overreaching itself to punish its own citizens with the other.

  3808. Ghost towns/city areas can be the result of a local economic collapse and, by the look of it, extortionate high rents. I suppose, once the NY cafes, restaurants, takeouts, laundries etc can’t get staff, there’s always the immigrants to exploit.

  3811. This is much bigger than the UK. The “conversion” is happening all across the actual European countries of the EU. When the US and Israel move against the nest of vipers in the Middle East (radio silence on what’s going on out there… interesting…), the top dogs will run to their cells primarily in the UK and EU, and start over. The major difference, though, is the West doesn’t suffer from fatalism.

  3827. Woke proponents are gushing increasingly illogical and obviously disingenuous doctrines because they’re in panic mode. The wheels are coming off the gravy-train, and they will now try to do a massive amount of social damage before they’re derailed. Also, a lot of their “converts” are beginning to realise that they’ve been conned by second-rate snake-oil salesmen…

  3830. Looking back, I’m getting the impression that the Tories were actually doing their best to slow down the WEF’s globalist agenda. Sir S took the brakes off, instigating in weeks damaging policies and propaganda which has taken years to insinuate itself throughout the EU and US.
    1
  3831. Tony Blair serves the WEF and is Sir S’s controller. Since Labour took the reins, it’s all go to get us caught up with the rest of the West, pushing Wokeness and extreme Leftism, repeating the same tired Leftist lies…

Wake up! You are being deceived!

  3845. And no one stops to ask: wtf is going on? Why should there now be so-called recreational drugs which will definitely kill their users in one pop?

  3848. They came for the ‘n’ word and many thought that was pretty reasonable; now they’re coming for anything and everything that they’ve randomly declared ‘offensive’. The inevitable result will be one plot, one set of approved diverse non-characters, a lot of rote talking about hurt feelings while in corridors, and The Message. Again, the majority are at the mercy of a tiny minority. The question is, can we do anything to stop this because we’re being f*d over with the approval of elected governments.

  3852. Robyn Hood - I watched Disparu almost dying of laughter as he dissected each episode. There’s really bad rap music, black gang stereotypes, and glorification of theft, thuggery and stupidity. The white characters are evil, of course. It was fun hearing from the series creator and director who attacked Disparu directly for not getting with his serious study of oppressed communities. Don’t watch the Canadian show - watch Disparu!

However, I also believe that higher education should be free to those capable of completing real degrees successfully, and that these students should receive maintenance grants. Just like it used to be. And I also believe we need he old tech system back, plus some way of catching the less able before they give up.

  3868. Late comment, but I’d like to point out that Oxford’s local council is Labour - i.e. Leftwing - dominated. Back in the day, I was taught that Communist Russia enforced residential/employment zones. All travel was banned and papers proving Party membership were needed to move between zones. Lord help us if the proletariat vote in a Labour government.

  3869. Oh, all those adult men terrified by a 12 y-o girl kicking a door! Doesn’t bear thinking about does it? Meanwhile: girls of that age (and younger) are abused by gangs of certain adult men, and the DPP directs that the police should ignore their plight in order to maintain social cohesion.

  3893. Seems to me that your entire Democrat Party membership has been replaced by Pod People. They have no grasp of morality, can’t define what a woman is and react identically to the mnemonic LGBTQ. The media has also been invaded, spreading The Message and cancelling anyone who resists. Is Mars attacking? Has the Nestene Consciousness come into earth orbit? Must be something making these politicians toe the party line…

  3894. Leftwhingers are always told to support minorities against majorities. Back in the 1960s, the commy-uunyst hoi-polloi realised they couldn’t manipulate the working class, so altered their tactic to oppressor vs oppressed dynamics, where Western culture is the Big Bad (but other dominant cultures, in their homelands, aren’t).

  3932. Actually, feminism - real feminism - is based around stopping the abuse and exploitation of women and children. What you’re seeing is SJW propaganda aimed at making you tangentially agree that men are better women than women (who are now defined by dehumanising terms, such by reference to their intimate parts - I’m sure you can think of one defamatory word here), and that they can, and already have, come for your children. Twisted, isn’t it?

You can fool humans into believing that a computer is intelligent, but that doesn’t mean that the computer IS intelligent. A.I. is just an advanced algorithm-driven search and compilation engine, and that makes it potentially sinister. Want to enforce one standardised form of art or narrative or belief or behaviour? Want to turn hatred on an ‘enemy’ or spotlight a ‘hero’? A.I. can deliver that efficiently to your domain (state, continent, world) by suppressing alternatives. Makes the idea of putting state-operated internet access in every home seem a little more dark, doesn’t it? Go look up the Turing Test… Wiki has a good overview of it’s application and many pitfalls.

So far, I’ve clocked a few discreet or artistic rainbows and one genuine rainbow flag. This time last year, there were the latest-iteration flags everywhere and a widely-promoted, police-protected, organised parade loudly demanding trans rights. When asked what specific rights were required, the genius whom I addressed replied “rights” and sneered at my uneducated bigotry. Oh, and there were screaming and crying toddlers frightened by the clowns. One year - one Cass report - one set of laws banning unnecessary medical experimentation - and one upcoming election. How times change.

  3949.  @MykeLewisMusic  I rather think it's the Exam Boards that have, shall we say, played fast and loose with English and Math results. The old government promised to pay them for every course and exam taken. Doesn't take a genius to work out how they can obtain more income, does it?

  3950. “Roger and the Rottentrolls” - attempting to be elected leader, Blacksyke (boo!) knits toilet roll holders for homeless people. Yockenthwaite (professional berk) thinks that’s nice - Penyghent (big brain) points out that homeless people dont need toilet roll holders, and that Blacksyke is only doing it for votes. This is a Yorkshire TV children’s programme 1996-2000, episodes available on YT. Hang onto your hat, because the satire is going to be a bumpy ride. Jim-jam-jaha!

If an answer cannot be provided, for reasons such as impact on national security or the respondent is not responsible for the answer (because, say, another company is), the respondent must provide a succinct explanation of this. I know obfuscation when I see it.

  3989. Let me just say that, whatever your personal views of the C19 lockdown, it certainly improved the atmosphere. The climate change lobby, which had predicted it’d take a century to clear excess CO2, claimed a victory, then started wringing their hands over NO2 which is, in their revised opinion, now the biggest driver of global warming, along with H2O. The gravy train rolls on…

  3995. Wonder what name he signed-on with?
    1
  3996. Let me explain for those who don’t fully follow this conversation. There are Contributory Benefits and non-Contributory benefits. National Insurance is the key. It’s insurance against periods of ill health or longterm disability that reduce the ability to earn or stop someone working at all; it’s also an insurance against periods of unemployment; and a retirement pension insurance viz living long enough to no longer be required in the workforce. You pay into the scheme, you are insured, and your payments secure both current claims for Contributory Benefits and support Non-Contributory Benefit funds. Non-Contributory Benefits are paid to those who have not contributed to the insurance scheme, or haven’t contributed enough to secure a Contributory Benefit, and do not have sufficient funds to live on. Again, paid out to the sick, disabled, unemployed or aged. These Benefits are often supplemented by Council Tax reductions, free prescriptions (medical, dental, optic), and so forth. Ironically, Non-Contributory Benefits can be more lucrative than Contributory… It’s possible that making everything means-tested will result in those with assets being excluded from the pension they’ve paid into and, as a consequence, forced to sell anything they can in order to survive until such time as they fall below the savings threshold (currently £16k per individual or couple). Some people have to do this already, because the state pension isn’t brilliant and they have extra costs to cover e.g. care home fees. Making everything means-tested would most likely result in lots of houses being put on the market in steady supply, while the sellers downsize to rented flats, if there’s enough, although rent prices could then go sky high. Means-testing state pension is, therefore, potentially disastrous for the economy.

  4022. Yes, definitely paid protestors. We saw this in the UK when the Leftists turned up en masse in about 100 locations to challenge RW riot groups. It takes a lot of organisation to round up the useful idiots, source transport, and print and distribute thousands of identical protest signs. BTW, there was no RW rioting planned. Hope not Hate released fantasy information and the press/Leftists were well and truly stitched up (and very visible).

  4035. You mistake the core meaning here: you might wish to consider the current insanity where the authoritarian movement is ‘transgenderism’ and women are being ‘cancelled’. I congratulate you on not contracting Covid-19, but many millions did, and all at once. The lockdowns were meant to slow the number of hospital admissions and to permit the recovery/disposal of the dead, and the vaccinations were meant to keep as many as possible out of hospitals and the morgue. No politics here, just a statement of fact.

  4049. Some US states have made every child literally a ward of their school, and have gaoled parents who objected to gender ideology. There’s heartbreaking stories of brainwashed young people leaving home in order to get “affirming care” with support from rather dubious groups and, subsequently, refusing to contact desperate family members, many then going missing. Read “Irreversible Damage” by Abigail Shrier. And, yes: most of the victims are female. I’m sure you can extrapolate what’s behind the seduction, exploitation and disappearances. We do not want this cult in Scotland nor any part of the UK.

  4111. @Treblaine for whom will you vote, then? The Uniparty doesn’t give a fig once they’re in, and The Monster Raving Looney Party is not as well-represented as it used to be.

  4115. According to Discworld lore, bogeymen disappear if you put your head under the blankets. Putting a blanket on a bogeyman’s head therefore causes it to doubt its own existence. Unfortunately, the former behaviour is not recommended for Roundworld, given that few very real bogeymen are given to self-reflection. (Kudos to Sir Terry Pratchett, GNU.)

  4130. No, you’re missing the point. The propaganda - The Message - is a clever way of annoying as many normal people as possible. Eventually, a ‘saviour’ will emerge to challenge the absurdities and demand a return to better days; the Woke will wither before him (for it will be a man) and he, with his supporters, will triumphantly ride the wave of the popular vote to… a Brave New World?

  4143. Trump spoke with Farage at his inauguration, graciously permitted Starmer’s request to meet with him, and accepted the letter he carried on behalf of our King. Nothing to do with Epstein. This is political manoeuvring of the first water.

  4144. In Medieval England, it was a common joke that Joseph was cuckolded by God. Jesus did, indeed by their thinking, have two dads: the mortal and the spiritual. There was a lot of serious Church discussion about this dichotomy. But I’m not so sure the fake preacher was referring to that.

  4151. There were show trials where it was damn obvious it couldn’t be avoided. Then we, the public, were told it was all done and dusted, gone away, no more, and anyone who objected was labelled and vilified as being an -ist with a -phobia. In fact, those few cases were weaponised against the British. Think about it.
    1
  4152. The Democrats used that same written constitution to infiltrate every nook and cranny of the US legal system, and then beat down any objectors. Huge amount of corruption and, in some cases, real evil. You think we have a DEI nightmare here? Guess again, chum! How many “trans” kids in your local school? Then, you’re forgetting that the ECHR overrules all EU countries’ legal systems.

  4153. Remember that later religions build on the sacred sites of earlier religions. Sometimes, that’s because the new religion is expressing its power.

  4154. London’s Lord Mayor, Sadik Khan, said he’d leave the UK if Trump won the US election. So far, only a resolute determination to stay and save our capital city from (deleted Leftwhinge slurs).

  4165. The global cooling idea arose because of a) a lot of very cold winters which affected the overall mean temperature and b) the actual fact that, give or take the Little Ice Age, the earth is overdue a full blown Ice Age. Which begs the question: are our scaly overlords Serpent Men or Deep Ones? I’m thinking the latter, because their minion, Bill Gates, wants to put up a shield to cut sunlight, reducing temperatures and potentially killing all surface-dwelling life forms.

  4170. USAID stands for United States Agency for International Development.

  4173. Funny, isn’t it? Some Labour MPs aren’t obedient Socialists. Also: Releasing so many actual criminals early may be because Sir S perhaps wants to manufacture a distraction. The police will be trying to catch the rabbits, the public critical of any failure to do so, and the MSM writing headlines criticisms of police failure in order to wilfully ignore certain other “problems”.

  4174. Solar panels? Full of hazardous chemicals, making them difficult to decommission. Bad for humans, bad for the environment. The propaganda never mentions this.

  4179. The UFO nonsense largely died out decades ago. It served its purpose in a time of post-war global tension and we got some entertainment out of it. Why is it being brought back now, I wonder? Are there hopes to blame inflation on little green men? But, hey! Government tapes of Nessie and Bigfoot sightings soon, everyone!
    1
  4180. Hm, because that wouldn’t be appropriate to the debate?
    1
  4181. That’s disrespectful to Tchaikovsky. Hm, why does a US group want more protection for black trans women in the UK? Well, when we get that glorious new Labour government the dozy sheeple vote in, I guess that question will be answered. PS: I spotted whiteface there! Racists!

  4185. The UK does the same, I’m afraid. We can’t tell the genuine ones - there are a few - from the masses. I once spoke with an angry Tutsi lady who survived the Hutu massacre of her entire village, and she decried the number of Nigerians claiming they were Somalian asylum seekers.
    1
  4186. I worked in a civil service job many moons ago. If the rules meant some people (amount of melanin irrespective) couldn’t get their demands filled, the go-to was always a string of imprecations followed by “racist”, usually with an appended animal or a certain C20th German political party. I guess the offended persons would now rush off to report a non-crime and wait for staff to be sacked.

  4193. Actually, in the UK, though parents can usually choose the school they want for their children, the local Council has the last say. In some rural areas, it’s Hobson’s Choice.

  4203. mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) tech was originally developed to help cystic fibrosis sufferers by providing the missing code that helps lung cells produce healthy CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) protein. It does not alter genes. I used to live next door to a chap who was working on early research with mRNA for inhalers before crispr was even invented.

  4204. It would appear that there are a number of persons - some possibly holding positions of borrowed power - who are increasingly worried what TR could reveal. We should all be concerned by the serious implications of this case.

  4207. Good luck!

  4208.  @ragnkja  I think that might be in part due to the finding of absolute tons of ostraca, which had to be explained away. Remember that more recent societies didn’t particularly educate the poor to read and write, in order to keep them in their place.
    1
  4209.  @timmccarthy872  in WWII, both sides built fake airfields and camps in order to mislead enemy bombers, as I'm sure you know. I guess there was an army joke back in the day and it escaped, as these things do.

  4211. Employers may put something in a contract which requires the employee to disclose a second job or casual employment. This, of course, usually affects part-time workers, and is done to a) make staff planning easier and/or b) to prevent what’s politely called “a conflict of interest”. Seems to me that the Council has simply woken up to the fact that full-time workers are now subject to this contractual agreement. For the record, my own current work contract has this requirement written into it. In fact, I have a casual second job for which my employer wrote a reference!

  4223. That lady is definitely going a bit far, but COVID is far from over. The WHO has a watch on the latest variant, EG.5 (Eris), but nothing on the concern list, thank goodness.

  4233. Let’s be honest here. The Monster Raving Loony Party has a more logical political platform than Labour! (I mean this: check the Loonies’ last tongue-in-cheek manicfesto!)
    1
  4234. No, I’d not say the Church has been corrupted by Wokeness. Rather, the Church is too kindly, too willing to accommodate and embrace those who are different in one way or another or have different points of view. The Church is, you see, much more tolerant than it used to be.

  4235. Remember that Gang Masters and the Romanian Roma were involved in modern day slavery? I do, because we had a case locally where some special needs men were freed by police.

  4236. Down with the kulaks!!! Yes, it’s obvious this is a Commy-une-yst land grab but less murderous than those in Russia and China. Labour also plans to impose the standard famine that follows in a similarly genteel manner.

  4237. I’d love it if something like this was found in the UK. It’d explain why governments keep insisting that the country is top-heavy with old people, hence the need for mass immigration of young male workers.

  4238. The origin of our species is not the “out of Africa” these disingenuous egoists are talking about. They have claimed that Japan, Britain (and Europe), and even the USA, were all once in the possession of blk people who were driven out/killed off by wht people - and they want it all back.
    1
  4239. Putting lives at risk, hm? I take it that the lives risked are those of pregnant women and children who have occasionally been put on small boats which unaccountably are the only ones which get into serious trouble crossing the Channel. Solution: open borders. Just wait and see.

  4240. Dear Vance. So on point. Except Left-leaning politicians and unelected representatives of the EU and UK have been welcoming unvetted “irregulars” for decades. They just upped the ante during Biden’s administration

  4241. This is the consequence of so many years telling children that they’re wonderful and beyond criticism, that they’re perfect and always right. Now we have untalented people screaming at anyone who dares challenge them and, unfortunately, they’re infesting the media, probably because it was an easy choice at Uni, like Sociology.

  4248. The US can be accessed overland, plus Biden’s government laid on air transport… Mind, judging by some of the reports I’ve seen on US YT channels, the majority of illegals are men of the usual age range, it’s just that the press feature women and children because that pulls the heartstrings and diverts from the elephant in the room.

  4253. I have come to the conclusion that what we’re witnessing - and living through today - is an attempt by The Chosen Few to establish their vision of a perfect Golden Age on the bones of decimated civilisations. They do not want or need nuclear war, but a controlled collapse, subverting education, restricting shelter, food and medical care until only the strong survive. Go listen to the Artilleryman section of Wayne’s ‘War of the Worlds’.

Incidentally, when J.M. Barrie’s mother died, his 8 year-old sister stepped up to run the household. Can’t think how that - or the fact that his brother died aged 14 as the result of a skating accident - affected the story he wrote in any way.

  4270. Nice! I bought a cat shelter for a semi-feral stray once he made it obvious that he’d started to adopt us. He passed away five years ago, aged around 25 according to our vet, and the shelter remains outside, now used by two neighbourhood wanderers when the weather turns cold, rainy or snowy.

  4274. I would not be surprised if UNH are found to be providing financial incentives (aka performance pay) to encourage decision-makers to deny claims. That’s the business model ATOS Healthcare used to remove UK sickness benefit from claimants.

  4283. You know, here in the UK, some employers set up illegal dormitories for their not-so-legal workers. Buildings filled with bunk beds, for which the workers pay most of their wages earned from 12 hour+ shifts. Well done, NYC. Now, try to find out if there’s exploitative gang-masters involved…. You might to want to ask questions about your leaders.

  4284. Protection for women and children from exploitation and abuse? Welcome to traditional feminism, peeps! I’m sick and tired of everyone attacking trad fems for supporting Woke ideology. No, that’s Fourth Wave Marxist feminists; the ones who labelled concerned mothers, grandmothers, and aunties as [turves] for opposing the new Political Correctness. Although I do pity the useful idiots of the Fourth Wave. They’ve gone a bit quiet recently, possibly looking around at the real world and realising they’ve effectively handed women and children over to organised exploitation and abuse.

  4289. I observe that the media and politicians are focusing on families - would you throw children out into the snow? - but I’ll bet the majority of your incomers are single and, almost exclusively, men (probably young men). That’s deliberate misdirection from the core of the problem and the exact tactic European governments took. To some extent, the problem has resolved itself over here, because the current influx is, again, mostly young men; women, especially those with children, have said they’re safer in a war zone…

  4296. Back in the day, not so many years ago, there was outrage over subliminal messages in tv adverts. After much denial, the practice was, supposedly, banned. Now, with information proving that male porn addicts are falling prey to subliminal messages and hypnosis, developing autogynophilia as a result, perhaps we should consider that a Woke mind virus really exists, being a carefully curated propaganda attack. Another conspiracy theory or something that begs investigation?
    1
  4297. You don’t? There is a single narrative that, until recently, barely touched Britain. CRT, a mythical extremist right wing, the fight against climate change, attacks on civil liberties and basic human rights, the law stating that a woman is anyone who states that they’re a woman (except if they’re women)… It’s being forced by the globalist WEF. Sir S is racing us through it at breakneck speed and it isn’t going well, because everyone can clearly see the agenda.

  4303. Canada is tackling the problem of the Surplus Population and simultaneously making sure no one is permitted to speak out against it. Don’t worry about Trudeau, though, because if the next election isn’t fixed in his favour, he’s probably got a seat arranged at the WEF.

  4308. The lockdown was based on the Eyam Model developed by the WHO. Look it up.

  4309. I do like the way that certain groups are parading their true colours all of a sudden, at home and across both the EU and the US.

  4324. Englishwoman here: drag is a perfectly normal part of theatre. It’s historical and not confined solely to the West. Couldn’t have a panto without the risqué Dame and Ugly Sisters (and the Principle Boy). Couldn’t produce the ballet La Fille Mal Garde, either. These are comedic roles and so many comedians have played them: Dick Emery, The Two Ronnies, Danny la Rue etc. Wayne Sleep famously danced the ballet Dame, btw. Then, there’s the drag artists (female impersonators) doing the pub circuit, telling blue jokes to adult only audiences. Strictly adults only. The type of shows and events we’re seeing in the US are infra dig. Now, they’re topping off with gunmen in black masks?

  4355. Reform must unite with UKIP. As for the Tommy issue, that’s a no-brainer considering his past which could be leveraged by Labour to vilify, ban, arrest and imprison Nigel Farage, his MPs and staff, and all Reform supporters. Don’t people have any basic grasp of history or socio-politics?

  4359. The ‘transition’ operation is removal of the testosterone producing testes; other parts of the endocrine system which also produce testosterone can then be overwhelmed by taking female hormones. Yes, the penis retains full function. Btw, that’s an operation which men underwent in order to become eunuchs in a harem. The ruler supplied the ladies with toys, but only he could beget offspring on them. The full ‘operation’ was used to execute criminals and carried out by religious devotees, such as Attis cultists, the latter having taken drugs and with medical staff on standby, although exsanguination shock still killed many. I’ll see myself out…

  4360. The principle reason driving this brave and stunning young man is causing fear and anger in the hope of a backlash. I recognise this as a standard abuse tactic. When the victim(s) object, even mildly, the abuser is offended and rushes off to claim that they’re being victimised.

  4369. ⁠ @MrJREllman real feminism advocates the protection of women and children from all forms of exploitation. It’s a simple concept but not one that meets everyone’s personal… predilections. Sadly, the term ‘feminism’ is being used disingenuously in propaganda (looking at you, Wokeism) to promote the exact opposite.

  4375. Josette Patricia Simon played Cleopatra in the 2018 RSC ‘Anthony and Cleopatra’ production. No problem; it’s a play and she’s a great actress who has been in the forefront of black representation in the arts since the 1980s. Jade Pinkett Smith is playing Cleopatra in a 2023 documentary series. Problem: she has a mouth on her, the producers are Woke and it’s an outspoken, blatant attempt to blackwash history - again. The actresses have the same initials, but they’re worlds and times apart. PS: it isn’t a good idea to piss off scholars, let alone a few nations of the world.

Besides, I have a nightshade intolerance and, when I’ve asked for details of the fake meat’s ingredients, none are available. I imagine it’s the same for people with a soya intolerance or some weird allergy to a chemical.

  4419. Sooooo, let’s apply a little logic. If a person of pure sub-Saharan descent is born of immigrant parents ghettoing up in - oh, let’s say Finland - they’re wht. By extension, then, it can be argued that all people of that descent are wht.

  4420. I’m an old feminist and never caught a wave. I’m beyond annoyed at being DARVO’d. Even had a young man tell me online that 100% of DV perpetrators are feminist women…

  4421. If it’s widely reckoned that Biden doesn’t know what day it is due to dementia, then he can’t also be cunning and treasonous. This may be sleight-of-hand setting up some red herrings. If Biden goes under a cloud (or with faux pity, which I’d think could be even worse), someone with whitewashed hands and full media support can step up as the honest political who, deploring the situation, promises soothingly that everything is okay…. only, it won’t be…

  4424.  @martianproductions997  altering fairy tales is yet another attempt to replace the archetypes with ‘modern representations’ or, to put it bluntly, eradicate what we understand by the human condition. Amazon and Disney have deployed characters who state: the past is dead. No, the past lives in us - our world is the product of the past, be that good or bad - and losing that past leaves us vulnerable to those who want to control our future.

  4428. Women and children die at sea in a sinking small boat. We should be crying, right? Wrong! While the loss of life is appalling, their deaths are being used to jemmy open our borders. The majority of the invaders are young men. Don’t forget that.

  4429.  @sunnyjim1355  English law used to demand that every man practice at the butts every weekend. This became obselete when firearms were introduced, but not in place of bows. No law was introduced to enable everyone to own a gun. Costly kit, guns.

  4433. Hey! Thanks to changes the Tories made in the education sector, I’m a civil servant! I’d just like to point out that the civil service - that includes the NHS, Inland Revenue, Land Registry, police, armed forces etc - obey government edicts, whatever flavour of government the electorate installed. The bods at the top are government advisers, but government can choose to ignore their advice QED. Anyway, the destruction of the civil service resulting in societal collapse is a Leftwhinge anarchist’s wet dream. Do you, as a member of the proletariat, feel manipulated yet?

  4435. Ah, you see: genetics doesn’t quite work that simply. There are XX males (Chapelle Syndrome) and XY females (Swyer Syndrome), and there’s XXY and XYY to contend with, plus endocrine problems that can provide an extra bit of chaotic nuance. Of course, these are rare conditions, so stick with the tried-and-tested for millennia terms ‘man’ and ‘woman’, ‘male’ and ‘female’. You’re unlikely to offend anyone; if they do get offended, announce their pronouns and gender flavour of the month, you know what you’re dealing with.

  4438. I’m afraid that reality is a lady dog. Labour took up the Tory’s migrant dispersion scheme (hotels, social housing) which makes mass deportation a logistical nightmare. And then those well-spread out numbers might, shall we say, really really really object to being removed… Also take into account that the ECHR must first be ditched, and the judiciary revisited. You can see the Democrat’s weaponisation of legal procedures confronting Trump and his ICE and DOGE initiatives. And consider the rapid, well-organised, and unpleasant responses to Hope Not Hate advising the press that there were RW riots going ahead all over the country. Admittedly, stopping the freebies could, as in the US, get some to leave voluntarily. But a lot of our incomers are representatives of one particular group ye wot of, and then consider the history of Iran, Lebanon etc. Farage is correct. Mass deportation is not going to be possible all at once, day one. A lot of H&S risk assessments need doing first, hm?

  4441. There is a difference between culture and being cultured. However, I suspect the latter could now be redefined as: the imposition of multiple foreign cultures detrimental to a European country or state.

  4442. @johnathanpearson3203 there are allegations to the contrary. A prison officer trainee with cerebral palsy was mentioned. I don’t know about you, but I’m extremely concerned that any disabled person could find him or herself in a situation which would be dangerous for anyone strong, fit and healthy.

  4444. What’s up? Labour planning for more women to go to prison longer for minor crimes so that the male inmates foisted on their 12 gaols (there are 117 gaols in all) can get free harassment rights?
