  1. When you see pre-teen girls going out dressed as though they are off to a night club for "work", you wonder about parents these days.

  2. If only Huw Edwards had Nord VPN.

  3. It is the civil service that run our country and tell the government what to do.

  4. ​ @archades115 All "isms" start out with good intentions but then along comes human nature with its greed and lust for power.

  5. A kid like him would not get the irony of a comedy like Fawlty Towers!

  6. Some of us did all we possibly could, post Dunblane, including a huge protest march through London that did not even make the evening news that night. Our politicians thought that they had to be seen to be doing something and convinced the ignorant non shooters that they were doing the right thing. Both parties tried to out do each other and ban more things. Police corruption and/ or incompetence caused Hungerford, Dunblane and the recent Plymouth tragedies!

  7. The whole Scandi culture worked because they all believed it and trusted each other - now it is paying the price!

  8. Sounds like good old Roman and later Viking methodology. Mind you the British were pretty thorough in Tasmania when it came to genocide.

  9. ​ @mrcockney-nutjob3832 And they all love their mum. Never any mention of dad?

  10. We need some yobs on jet skis (well ,all jet skiers tend to be that) to patrol the English Channel and disrupt things for the dinghies.

  11. Foolish woman for having 3 kids and no house. How many fathers are there for them? As others have pointed out, her expectations are unrealistic. Mind you, I have often wondered about moving to France for a number of reasons.
    12
  12.  @Cerbyo  Our folk songs tell tales of previous times and are part of our history. Rap is not music and is vile and incitful.

  13. He couldn't bear it!

  14.  @MiaogisTeas  The English are the best at warfare thanks to being conquered so many times, we learned an awful lot that way. It is why we basically ran the world for centuries.
    11
  15. Certainly cures mental health issues which seem to be an excuse for appalling behaviour or not working.
    11
  16.  @Cerbyo  It is all a load of angry rubbish and should never be associated with music.

  17. Portsmouth is full of very dubious businesses, barbers, nail bars and beauty parlours etc that cannot really be sustainable. It makes me think of Orwell and the Road to Wigan Pier where he talks of previous luxuries becoming too cheap.

  18. As someone in the industry, where would you draw the line at selling fishnet tights to or for a young girl? Or a latex mini dress? I am horrified by some of the kids you see round town, but when you see the mothers, you understand why it is happening!
    10
  19. WTF is Purple Aki?
    10
  20. I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about when you refer to "Cuties" and I guess I really don't want to either. I have seen a programme that went into the child beauty competitions they have in the US and that whole scene revolts me - it is just so very wrong on so many levels, even if there is not "inappropriate conduct" between the adults & kids in legal terms, it is still wrong.

  21. The big plug is hilarious! It must have been a piss take which is very clever considering he was a yankee.

  22. I guess you have not realised that this has been happening for ever. When I was at school the "party line" for boys was that you had to be good at sports and being clever was not cool. Looking at my grandson (13) it seems that being enthusiastic about anything is not cool. They get told they are depressed when a pet or a relative dies when they are just sad.

  23.  @AbrasiousProductions  And why not? - It is what being an individual is all about in this world - not doing something just because you are expected to - good on you.

  24. Every pantomime had at least one and generally a "handsome young lad" who was a woman. Going back a fair way, at one time women were not allowed to act on stage so female characters were all actually men.

  25. I got lost driving around the outskirts of Paris and found it rather intimidating as I saw very few French people. It was a bit like parts of London!

  26. Bit skinny for a real man!

  27. Pity those girls didn't panic and rush him out infront of a train.

  28. I have to say that I suspect the thought of massive compensation may just have something to do with the whole situation and I bet some solicitors / lawyers are making a lot of cash from it

  29. Any half decent leader "could" if they really wanted to.

  30. ​ @martinpospisil3747 Maggie started it all by selling the family silver for a song to her cronies who promptly sold it on at a huge profit.

  31. What people forget when it comes to the "own nothing and be happy" mantra is that when you borrow money to buy things you don't actually own them. Not paying off your mortgage as quick as possible and having finance for a new car every few years or buying your huge TV with intallments are classic examples of not owning things yet believing you are happy because you have this stuff.

  32. Best place for it!

  33. The French seem to have a great high speed rail network and even their ordinary trains are pretty good.

  34.  @fourthcasper6161  The child in this case was dead months ago!

  35. I was once asked where I was from by someone I think was South African when I was on holiday in East Anglia. No problem whatsoever in answering him although because I doubted he would have heard of the small village I grew up in, said near the local town (Watford). Turned out he had recognised my oddly distinctive local accent which many people would not even detect, and said do you mean XXX. He was spot on! I guess that accent, or more accurately a way of speaking has faded since I moved away.

  36.  @ashleystyles6888  His father sounds like a good chap, who would have thought that a Tory would be such an enemy of what drives capitalism.

  37. It isn't sport, it's a game often played by kids in the park and now used to extract huge sums of money from ordinary people to make a few people very rich.
    7
  38.  @nunjabeeswaxs4686  There certainly are and always have been boys and girls who go through a "phase" of cross dressing when quite young.

  39. What happens when us aboriginal Britains lose our rights to the newcomers in a few years time and there is a similar vote?
    6
  40. Technology and over nurturing kids seems to be the biggest issue. When our grandchildren could not charge their iPhones or not get WIFI for a few days on my yacht they changed a lot. When you think in my day, kids could get hurt playing down the local recreation ground and it taught them a lot. Nowadays the councils are frightened some entitled parents will sue them if little Johnny scratches his knee.
    6
  41.  @tuseroni6085  Many people can be lonely in a crowd of people while others (like myself) never feel lonely, even if miles from the nearest person. It is almost as if some people are lonely because they are told they should be. Maybe this is one of the reasons some of the younger generations seem to be obsessed with how many "friends " they have on social media when in truth they have no real friends to socialise with.
    6
  42. Is it not ironic that you should mention him being a Catholic, given their not so sparkling reputation when it comes to kids?
    6
  43. All that torture and slaughter in the name of Jesus! Wonderful! Even one of my ancestors got burned at the stake.
    6
  44. Not having kids has meant that 3 of my 4 siblings are leading very comfortably with no mortgages, yachts and motor homes etc while only ever having ordinary jobs. Sounds like a win-win situation to me. The other thing that many people forget is that it will gradually start to end the ever increasing price of housing as there will start to be a surplus.

  45. Historically, Britain gained its strength and fierce fighting reputation due to a form of diversity, however all the elements were from Europe, e.g. the Romans, Angles, Saxons, Vikings and Normans (just French Vikings really). We are a blend of many strong cultures. This does not seem to be happening now as the invasion is through the back door and not through battle and conquest.
    5
  46.  @TheBcoolGuy  Technically you are quite wrong there as it happens. Why are most yachts made of composite materials? The issue comes when you try to mix materials that don't complement eachother or fail to mix properly. Reinforced concrete is very strong but if there is a gap between the concrete and the iron rods it will not last very long.
    5
  47. I think you fail to understand the difference between liberal and libertarian, they are very different creatures. Many of those who get branded as left wing these days are what a true socialist would call privileged liberals who only really care about themselves. These are the ones whose parents would have always voted conservative but now feel so entitled due to their comfortable upbringing.

  48.  @BonusHole  You can even be "done" in the UK for having a stout walking staff, if it is deemed that you carried it for self defence .

  50.  @kmit9191  Unless the cop had more specialist bullets the survival rate for one shot from a 9mm even at close range is far more than you might imagine.

  51. It is us that now have money to spend on treats we went without when younger. Nothing has really changed except people have come to expect more and more for less and less.
    5
  52. Most normal people have not and never will have heard of this high end fashion brand. As they say, any publicity is good publicity so this whole thing might backfire.
    5
  53. The ones who own large parts of London and run most big businesses worldwide? The ones who were given someone else's country after WW2 and treated the locals appallingly?
    4
  54. ​ @Jean-qn4fy False argument and only applies if you are one of those who makes money from poorer people.
    4
  55.  @Kanakotka  It is very interesting that you quote Swedish and French - those French from Normandy are actually of Scandinavian decent, as in "North man". The differences across Europe are largely far more cultural than racial.

  56.  @philcollins2546  I hope you don't mean "well, grooming"?

  57.  @tuseroni6085  Unless you were one of those who sent people to their deaths so that no one took your money and power?

  58. Sounds just like you are a drill rapper?
    4
  59.  @boomerkobold3943  So far from the truth as to be hilarious! I loathe the drill rapper culture and all that goes with it! As for weapon procurement, that ain't going to happen in the UK without breaking the law big time!
    4
  60. Having driven through Paris, running red lights, eg not stopping when you are supposed to is pretty normal, especially in some suburbs.
    4
  61. What makes me really smile is the people who were trying to tell us that the voter ID thing was a Tory plot and would stop Labour winning. Looks like they got that one wrong.
    4
  62. Did you know that clever people switch off when they get bored with stuff? Mind you it can be great fun picking holes in the arguments of narcissists and fools.
    4
  63.  @Nick46289  They bombed the chippy and a couple of pubs in the village where I grew up, that justifies any actions-lol.
    4
  64. I cannot understand why some blokes feel so threatened by them? At least they are not going to run of with your Mrs or girlfriend and the more of them there are, the more females there are for us.
    4
  65.  @hiddendesire3076  A very good point. Being proud of who you are if it is about your heritage or culture is fine but if it is about what you are (fat, ginger, short or whatever) it isn't. Funnily, quite a few gays are very anti bi people for some reason.
    4
  66. Up until quite recently, kids in the southern US states were being married off at 13 or 14 - it is still happening in some countries. This however raises an interesting point - in the UK the age of consent is 16 but in most of the US it is older - What should the age of consent be and what should that be based upon?
    4
  67.  @benrex7775  There is a huge difference between a nice feminine curvy body and a fat one. I never bought the old media image of Twiggy having the perfect body!

  68. All the people who moan about train drivers pay ought to become train drivers. Just the same with all other jobs where people think they are over paid.
    4
  69.  @hannahreynolds7611  I am afraid to say I have a problem with Catholics- just look at the poorest countries in the world and those with horrific rates of child poverty. Need I say more? And then there is the case of the poor child who went missing in Spain a few years ago. She was educationally "challenged " but the parents have made a good deal of money, helped by our catholic prime minister at the time?

  70. @Meaning What I have a woman to do stuff like that- doesn't every normal man?
    4
  71. I bet there are a lot less people claiming that they cannot work due to so called anxiety or depression?
    4
  72.  @dabear5641 You seem to be moaning about the "old", most of whom have worked hard all their lives and saved their money by not wasting it on luxuries and unnecessary rubbish
    4
  73.  @Waywind420  One of Adolf's failures then?
    4
  74.  @MegaSpideyman  Anything that people do competitively for the enjoyment of it rather than because of a big fat paycheque. Look up GGR 2022 if you want a good example.
    4
  75. ​ @wiggawithattitude I think you give too much credit to our government. I don't think they could plan a top-up in a brewery. Seems more like incompetence and trying to please the perceived masses but getting it hopelessly wrong to me.

  76. I love the little old lady with the blue carrier bag stood looking bemused.

  77. Adolf had some very strong views on art and what was acceptable!

  78.  @almalone3282  Sounds like you watch pornhub too much!
    3
  79.  @icarusjumped2719  It is called entitlement! They see bigger girls dressed like that in rap videos or until tok and think it is cool and therefore they are entitled to do the same.
    3
  80.  Lily  Sadly your statement there sums up the whole issue perfectly!
    3
  81.  @Braxtonkai  It has got much worse recently, previously it was mostly those whose mothers were no better but now it is more widespread. That and the actual clothing has got more blatant- wet look / rubber miniskirts and fishnet tights really do not belong on anyone under 18!
    3
  82.  @elinope4745  I was teasing a bit! I do however think it unlikely that any 23 yo could (or should) look like a 13 yo. By that age there is (or should be) something in the deportment of a person to distinguish them from someone much younger.
    3
  83. Gaming is for geeks and teenage boys who think it is cool to hide away in their bedrooms when they worry about being caught watching porn by their mums.
    3
  84. I wonder how the Russians or Chinese deal with such people? I bet they are far from sympathetic!

  85.  @angelsackson  It has even got to Milton. I didn't realise how sunny it has been in Milton and Eastney lately but there are loads of very tanned people round there.

  86. Same should apply to bail and parole!

  87.  @sergpie  They say that if you remember the 60s you could not have been there. And as for free love in the 70s, not sure I ever got any!

  88. Go to the Great Dorset Steam Fair and see our history, all sorts of music and food .strangely enough, there are very few non Europeans, virtually no police and certainly not any signs of trouble.
    3
  89.  @LuciusC  Simple question, would you approve an abortion under any circumstances and if so, how would you justify that.
    3
  90. Keeping people alive who would otherwise have died naturally is just a means of making more money for big pharma and health care companies.
    3
  91. On the few occasions I pass people while out walking in the countryside I always say a polite "hello" or similar and generally it gets returned. You can almost tell when you see people coming the opposite direction how they will respond from their appearance. I hope it does not sound snobbish, but those who are dressed for the countryside tend to be the politest.
    3
  92. I doubt someone would say “Wow stop threatening me.” in those circumstances - more like - "Why?" or "how many do you have?"
    3
  93. The main reason this is happening now is that until recently, these guys would have been so ashamed. They were the ones labelled sissy at school or "sensitive". Many ended up married with children due to social pressures or even ended up topping themselves. The women were in a similar position but often ended up as spinster teachers etc as the pressures on them were subtly different. Things were rather different in the upper classes, but still not like today.

  94. Are you still allowed to call them blacklists? LOL

  95. And why do you feel that this is a bad thing? I knew more than a few women who seriously got off on guy wearing their undies!
    3
  96.  Obama doESn’t care  Trying to seem "normal" seems to be a sign of conformism and weakness, failing to accept everyone is different because that is not the "done thing".
    3
  97. At least you sort of understand what it is all about, although I would not call it a "movement" as such, because the AGP side is as old as the hills and does not want to change things!
    3
  98.  @Femboy-Fantasia  You are quite right, and in turn we will have to pay realistic prices for our foods. I was talking to some people associated with farming the other day and the cost of fuel just to harvest a field of grain has increased 3 fold over the last 3 years. Food prices have not yet!
    3
  99.  @michaeldoolan7595  A lot of this situation is because we have come to expect too much for too little. Just think about all the entitled people who want food delivery or are happy to pay £3 or more for a coffee. People these days really don't appreciate how much things should cost, ie there value rather than the price.

  100. How did the kids like their special times with the priests?
    3
  101. ​ @eleveneleven572  Catholics and Freemasons often go hand in hand which is why the priests get away with what they do.
    3
  102.  @bath_neon_classical  It is compulsory at boarding schools, hence why all the MPs are odd.

  103. What politician has ever kept their promise? Even all the things that Trump promised came to nothing.
    3
  104.  @nulllll99  But you cannot make an omelette without breaking a few eggs?
    3
  105. We need a socialist party that has been nationalised!
    3
  106.  @hospitalsgivingpatientsdan8894  It can be, much the same as with guys who want to be women, but I would be careful who you say that to as there are more than a few who are far more women than you might imagine. And at the end of the day, does it really matter, unless you feel threatened by them?
    3
  107. This whole countryside thing is such unbelievable rubbish. Round my little city there are some lovely walks within easy reach of all parts of the city. You very rarely see certain people out on the walks yet the streets in parts are full of them. There are absolutely no reason for this!
    3
  108.  @Lonovavir  You almost described me there except I never worked that long each week for anyone else in my life.
    3
  109. When new-comers to Britain destroy our heritage are we allowed to complain?
    3
  110.  @kriegjaeger  The concept of creation is very much open to interpretation. If the classic Creationist version is actually just an old story, gradually corrupted over millennia by word of mouth story telling, then yes, creation is actually what happened, ie we did not suddenly appear as we are now.

  111. Tricked, yeh, sure! Ever heard the song Lola by the Kinks? Guess you two kids are too young.

  115. ​ @dylanvanhoorne3191 So the post boomer generations are totally incapable of doing anything about it? Says an awful lot. The so called boomers have got fed up with holding the entitled generations hands all the time and fed up with their bs and are now retiring.
    3
  116. Sounds like someone knows a lot more about some things than might be quite right?
    3
  117. The Catholic church was always against contraception as pregnancy is one of the best ways to control half the population and having more children than you can afford keeps most of the others under control. The priesthood are such a fine and upstanding bunch as we all know and they do need a constant supply of choirboys.
    3
  118. When you think so many kids these days obsess about how many (imaginary) "friends" they have on Facebook etc, it would be nice if they actually went out and did things with real friends like we used to when we were young.
    3
  119. It is our own greed that has driven up house prices and nothing more. The younger generations have very unrealistic expectations when it comes to their first house and you guys summed it up nicely by suggesting no one wants to buy an apartment/ flat. Before I moved to the south coast in 1987 my one bed starter home in Hertfordshire was 10 x my salary for quite a good job.
    3
  120.  @SimonJ57  I was hearing something about the situation in Spain the other day where landlords are changing from long term residential letting to holiday let's as they can make more money in 6 months that way. In the UK I wonder if air b&b is doing something similar?

  121.  @Rebrn-bk5em  No, they are against the suffering of certain children and the risk to the lives of some very poor women who would go to back street practitioners! .

  122.  @ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz  Of course not, there was nothing before the internet according to the entitled generations.

  123. It is actually worse than most of the corrupt things our wonderful government get up to!
    3
  124.  @nunjabeeswaxs4686  It would depend on the circumstances and one must be careful when one judges if someone is "in their right mind " - I could easily consider you to not be in your right mind, given how narrow your mind seems to be!
    3
  125.  @realyopikechannel  Sadly the high suicide rate is mainly due to the way that they are treated or viewed my the very narrow minded and blinkered members of society are.

  126.  @chilo8187  It is odd how so many people come up with their own weird ideas about something that they obviously know very little about let alone understand anything about, particularly the many and subtle variations of the subject.

  127. Amongst my age group, Scout leaders and PE teachers were notorious for inappropriate behaviour. It was regularly joked about when I was at school - almost a badge of honour in a bizarre way if you had been touched up. I had a "close encounter" as one might say with one of these people but never let it get to me as no one made me feel guilty about it. I am certainly not saying that any of it is acceptable and indeed for some kids it was pretty awful. A couple of former girlfriends suffered horrifically as kids but the odd thing about those ladies was that it seemed to have made them stronger in many ways.
    3
  128.  @hospitalsgivingpatientsdan8894  Yep that is how it should be and is for many such people. The issue today is that too many people have become "entitled " and think the world owes them (and that applies right across the board! )

  131. There are some jobs that cannot be done by AI because it will not have intuition. The jobs that it can do are those for simple people. My old job could not be done by AI for many reasons but now I have retired I don't really care. Too many Brits seem to live to work while the French have it the right way in that they work to live.

  132. Never trust a degree engineer with anything requiring engineering ability (I have known of many who fall into that category).

  133.  @techpriest6962  Good schools have a strict uniform policy that goes a long way to stop them dressing like this. It also helps subtly with the notion of obeying rules and respecting others.
    2
  134.  @serpentines6356  All this behaviour that does not seem right to decent people these days I believe comes from the fact that we have had things far too easy for far too long to be sustainable. You quite simply cannot keep having more and more, but sadly that is what capitalism depends upon.
    2
  135.  @crazytown1146  It certainly is not totally new, but seems to be getting much more widespread. If you think back to the Top of the Pops days, parents were letting young teenage girls go along dressed much older and we all know what that led to! I pity the 18 / 19 year old lads who go to night clubs and chat up some girl (who should be at least 18 to have got in), get "lucky " and could end up with a criminal record and on the offenders register!
    2
  136. I personally would never think of dating someone who appeared that much younger than me incase anyone got the impression that I was attracted to children. I know 60 year old ladies who could pass for 40, but that's a whole different kettle of fish.

  137.  @5050TM  Too many people these days feel too entitled and see any rules as oppression and not there for a good reason. The Internet has not helped from Tik Tok to here on YouTube.

  138.  @elinope4745  Looking good at any age does not seem to be the case in some countries, thinking particularly Spain. You see some real stunners around up to about 25 or 30 then they seem to disappear, only to return looking like they are 70 plus and dressed in black. It might have been the region I was in though.

  139. Maybe rather than deportation flights they should use old fashioned square rig sailing ships to take them. It used to work well!

  140.  @olafswida2  I just re-read your comment and noticed the remark about reducing waste. The current business model for just about everything is based on waste - throwing things away that ought to be repairable or because they are not the latest version. If goods cost a bit more but lasted longer and were repairable then there would be much less waste whereas if people don't own something (hire cars are a good example) they don't care about them and always want the latest version.

  141. ​ @rey_nemaattori Have you ever sat down and done the maths regarding sea level rise versus loss of polar ice cap. Try it honestly and you might be surprised.

  142. It is quite interesting that you use the phrase "godless ones" - does that include the Catholic priests and their choir boys or those (Catholics) who ran homes for unfortunate young women back in the day? And what about those who follow one of hte other gods from the middle east?
    2
  143.  @Tuck-Shop  Yep - it is people who spoil all "isms" regardless of political or religious, someone will see a chance to abuse it or power grab. Just think how the Romans suddenly took on Christianity and even stole the old religious feast days & symbolism because they saw it as a way to control people.

  144. It is interesting to see the picture of Australia with the name changed - it has had various names over the years since we Europeans found it. Not sure what the locals called it if anything.

  145. I would not buy that over priced ice cream, partly as it is American and partly because there are just as good (and often much better) ice creams made in the UK. It is much like the idiots who insist on buying over priced coffee from American run / owned businesses. If I wanted to live in America I would move there, I want to live in England surrounded by English people doing English things in a civilised culture.

Sewage is very good for fish, particularly shellfish which are filter feeders so they will be doing well at the moment. On a serious note, a very small change to the design of the trawler nets reduces bye-catch and stops undersized fish being killed unnecessarily.

    2
  175.  @thistimeimhere  You are totally correct there. The problem with all "isms" whether political or religious is people and their greed. About the only cure, or rather limiting action is a regular change of regime, but even that has issues in a conventional democracy because all (generally both) main parties try to buy votes from just enough people (typically about 1/3 of the voters) to get into power. They don't even have to keep their promises when elected.

  179.  @ArchivedFox  The whole subject of what is a fetish is a very interesting one. I once heard it said that making love in the missionary position under the bedclothes in the dark must be a fetish or even a perversion as so few normal people do it or at least enjoy it!

    2
  182.  @jesussaves6625  I would suggest that you have probably seen very few true "AGPs" due to the very nature of what they do & why they do it! There are many reasons people choose to wear clothing normally associated with the opposite gender and AGP is only one.

  187. If it wasn't for the cheap labour, food prices would be much higher (which we will be finding out very soon! ). That would have meant the "entitled " life style of most people over the last 30 or maybe 40 years would not have happened. Personally, I would have found that to be a much better situation all round as it would have been much more sustainable and there would be no sudden shock and hardship when it all comes crashing down like it will and it must.

  188.  @michaeldoolan7595  I am shocked at my stepson and his family's attitude to things. Everything has become throw away with ridiculous waste. No one seems to value anything any more and that has filtered down to life and attitudes to others. I am not having a "save the planet " / climate change rant (it isn't our fault!) But everything that gets thrown away has to go somewhere and we are running out of places to put it. The only time food gets wasted in my house is when the Mrs messes up cooking it and that really gets on my goat as they used to say.

  189. You can thank Ted Heath for how we ended up joining the EEC - the way the question was posed regarding joining or otherwise was very clever. I have no idea what the majority was, but I guess that could be found. In fact, I think I will try to find out right now.

  194. The big problem with EV's is the ridiculous obsession with range (and performance) when most people really don't need to drive more than 20 miles a day and can rarely average much more than 40 mph. This is what makes them way too expensive for ordinary people and way too dependent on high tech. If we keep real cars with real engines for what they do best maybe the air in our cities might be a bit nicer to breathe and we would not be pouring money into dodgy foreign countries?

  195.  @isitoveryet9525  Perhaps the father brought his child up to not have any idea about the significance of what the teddy was wearing and was therefore not likely to be corrupted?

  204. EVERYBODY hates kiddie fiddlers & CP! There is rather a large "However" in that it is often deliberately miss-linked to other views / attitudes / groups or whatever you might like to call them to try to make those look much worse to everybody, and thus, much easier to demonise. This was a classic tactic used by the guy in Germany in the 30's and works really well. It is very easy to spot to people with half a brain, but sadly less than half the population who might be exposed to those views have even as much as half a brain (being generous!).

  205. The big problem in the UK is that gyms are just money making rackets. So many people get suckered into the idea that the membership is cheap and going to the gym will do them good that gyms are popping up everywhere. Many are linked to illegal hormones etc. If everyone who had a gym membership went along one week, you would soon find that there was just not enough space. Keeping active and being outside is all that is needed to stay reasonably fit for most people - you don't have to do what my Mrs (in her 70s) does most days and cycle 3 or 4 miles down to the beach to swim in the sea all year round!

  212. 46 years of being able to vote in this country has taught me one thing, that unless we have a proper form of proportional representation the likelihood of any party, other than Tory or labour running the country is virtually nil. There are far too many MPs to start with - maybe one for every 1/2 million voters would be plenty. Then, rather than the party with the majority choosing a PM, they should be voted for by all the MPs on a PR system (typically 1st choice, 2nd choice etc). The only way to stop the current political stranglehold is to vote for a party who truly support PR!

  215.  @Duster29to86  Nor should they - totally agree, but you referring to what people do in private as "bad habits" is being very judgemental because who determines what is a bad habit? (OK, so picking one's nose in public isn't nice - LOL).

  216.  Druid of Scosglen  Yep, and quite rightly so.
    2
  217.  @Duster29to86  I am not sure that your first sentence is correct in many ways. The very fact that you use such emotive and judgmental terms to describe what others choose to do (generally in private) demonstrates that you are extremely "conformist" and not willing to do anything that might be considered different. While I agree that people should not try and push / force their views on others (which, incidentally is exactly what you are doing) it is not inevitable that it will result in what you suggest.

  227. So many people these days have completely unrealistic expectations. Even when ITV first came on the scene the adverts were there to create expectations. Now you can hardly avoid adverts in one form or another and even the BBC have more than a few "aspirational" programmes that don't exactly help. There is also another side of the coin where you hear people ranting on about the elites and the "you will have nothing and be happy" notion. Now where have I seen both sides of this from the same people?

  233. There are some even more examples of amazing technology than Gobekli Tepi that really stretch the imagination. One of the suggestions is that we might be descended from aliens which if you think laterally might account for the Noah's Ark story?

  234.  @kriegjaeger  Given that there seems to be good evidence that chunks of the original are missing (or have been deliberately lost) one has to question how some of the rest as it was translated over time. The other thing is that it was only ever in a written format relatively recently in historical terms. As I have stated previously, depending how you look at it depends how you read it. I have heard the other religious book from the same part of the world described as an ancient survival manual by someone who worked out there for many years.

I guess the same applied to the cyclists you often used to see on the main roads round where I live a few years back.

  241. Sex should be reserved purely for producing children and should only take place in the missionary position, under the bed clothes with the lights out.

  248.  @Goldenhawk583  I have seen a changes in my life time (63 years) that few could really have predicted (well, a lot of sci-fi programmes/ movies did, but that is another matter). Given the independent nature of us English (plus the other British people), I really cannot see this happening in the way some fear it will. Our cities would require such major changes to allow this to happen in the way some people are worrying, that it just isn't realistic. As an aside, I am always puzzled about France (a place I like). 5 times the area of the UK with the same population. Stunning countryside, beautiful old houses (very cheap! ) yet so many of them seem to want to huddle into crowded cities. It must be a cultural thing?
    2
  249.  @Goldenhawk583  The French situation is odd, it actually goes back maybe 25 years or more. Of late, they (as in the rural France) have been going through really tough times. Some of it is due to their rather backward (by our standards) farming methods but to be honest I admire them for that.
    2

The other thing is that the Romans took slaves from all over Europe all over their territories.

He had 4 or 5 wives & families at last count!

  271.  @david_donovan  Quite a few cultures practiced polygamy and some still do - others had polyandry that seems to work too.
    2
  272.  @buragi5441  Perhaps if we go back to basics. Polyamory literally means loving more than one person and that needs no evidential proof of existence because everyone should be capable of it to varying levels. Polygamy is still practiced in many parts of the world, mostly Muslim countries as it happens, and obviously came about for practical reasons (I know it is only wikipedia, but they have details about it and they should be easy enough for you to look up). If it did not work or serve a purpose, then it would have died out long ago. Polyandry is less common but it to must have come about for a reason, again, look it up. Open relationships are another thing altogether- they do seem to work for some people, you only have to go along to a local swingers club to witness the pleasure it can bring to all those taking part.

  273. I loved it the other day when some loony lefty animal rights nutters tried some how to link paedophilia with big game hunting - where on earth did that come from? Mind you, I have heard others try to link it to activities that are in fact even more opposite to it.

  274. There seems to be a very strange notion these days regarding what is deemed left wing and what is deemed right wing. Much of it seems to be in total opposition to those notions 40 or 50 years ago. Maybe people ought to listen to the lyrics of "Won't get fooled again " by the Who.

  280.  @baldieman64  There is a bit of truth in what you say, but in the UK the biggest driver for house prices is people not accepting they have to start at the bottom of the ladder. When you see a 3 bed semi advertised as an ideal starter home you realise where things have gone wrong.
    2
  281.  @dabear5641  Your last sentence gives a very good clue as to why house prices go up so much.

  282.  @mehoyminoy1326  Do you think it realistic to want a 3 bed semi as your first home? That seemed to be what many of the younger lads thought when I was working. I started with a studio flat in a cheap area in early 80s and now have a small 3 bed semi (& a yacht that cost as much).

  291. I remember seeing an American who I worked with bite into a ham roll with a good dollop of English mustard- big mistake! He even struggles with decent onions in a cheese roll. The other funny was when my dads work mate brought in some home made horse raddish sauce - Trevor the Caribbean guy reckoned it was way to powerful for him!

  292. The fireworks at the start were just like France.

  293. I think it is wonderful that these Americans are not having children, the less of them the better. It seems like the only people who benefit from a growing population are the mega rich who depend on us "serfs" to work for them for next to nothing. They are the ones making people think that this is the only way.

  299. You have to remember that the entitled generations don't think a 2 bed terrace is a house fit for anyone to live in and that a 3 bed semi is slumming it.

    2
  304.  @realyopikechannel  You do raise some good points there, however you talk about people who get interviewed as if they represent all of that group and that cannot be true. Another giveaway is the reference to "big pharma" which, when you consider the numbers involved and that the products are not that different from the pill,doesn't really add up to much. The other thing of course is that these people are actually nothing to do with AGP. AGP is just like any other fetish / role play, be it pony play, pet play or even age play. It is all about fantasy, just like someone dressing up as superman or a famous footballer for their wife. They do not want to be women any more than the others want to be ponies or "naughty schoolboys". It is simply a totally harmless bit of fun in an otherwise very dull world as long as it stays in the appropriate place.

  314.  @newtonia-uo4889  Prior to proper free public education, if you were poor you had very little chance in life unless you were extremely lucky and extremely clever naturally. My education and that of my siblings enabled us to break free of the poverty we were born into and now live pretty comfortable lives. Many of our rich and powerful "leaders" would love to see the end to free education (and are trying to end it via the back door) to keep us in our place.
    2
  315.  @kaizokujimbei143  From the way you talk you must be a yankee as I have no idea what half of what you are saying means or why you have your odd ideas. Perhaps I am extremely lucky regarding my schooling, like my 4 siblings. None of us went to Uni after school and my brother and I both did old school apprenticeships in engineering which made us highly employable to the point that I never failed to get a job that I actually wanted, working for 5 different companies before retiring early to enjoy my life. My best teachers at school were the ones who taught me how to learn and as I have remarked elsewhere, way too many parents these days don't have enough wisdom to even raise their kids properly let alone educate them to any useful degree.

  324. The same weekend I went to a much bigger event in Dorset that was extremely white. There was no trouble and I never heard a cross word. There were Asians on the retail stalls and blacks on the gates but barely a sun tan in the crowd. There were even members of the "oppressed" travelling community who seemed to be behaving ok.

  333.  @elinope4745  You can a lot about a girl's age by her deportment and attitudes, not just by her shape and looks. I saw a girl around 15 dressed in full fetish rubber skirt and top, chest pushed out as far as they would go the other day. I feel sorry for a lot of younger guys these days.

  343.  @olafswida2  You say about the idea being to make people rent everything, but isn't finance / buying on credit also known as hire purchase? The end result is exactly the same because until the loan is paid off, you don't actually own an item and many people will just want a new replacement whatever by then.

  344.  @andreivaughn1468  I find what some of these games seem to promote not such a good influence and I see most of them as part of the "dumbing down" process that is ruining the imagination of kids from an early age. What is wrong with doing "real" things these days? Our grand children are with us on holiday in France at present. The 13 year old lad is the classic gamer, tucked away in his cabin getting all worked up over his games and lacking enthusiasm for anything else. His 11 yo sister is the opposite, totally enthusiastic about everything she does, catching crabs and fish from the boat, helping with the sails and ropes. In the water and swimming at every opportunity. About the only time the lad isn't buried in his phone is when we take them beating for a local pheasant shoot and there is no phone signal and they have to keep up with us walking 10 odd miles over rough terrain. I even wonder if the gaming thing is part of the scheme to keep people at home and make them not want to do anything worthwhile?
    1
  345.  @andreivaughn1468  OK, you are right about me being old and I would love suggest I played computer games before you were born. I have been known to play against my step sons at various shootem-up games because they know I am a very good shot with all sorts of real guns but I don't really like shooting at "people", even if they are only imaginary on a screen (this is all part of the imunising against violence that seems to be happening today- just think about those lads who stabbed another one a while back and how they were using the sort of language from the games).

  346. Once again, the "Elites" get a top billing. Who honestly would not want to protect their way of life & power given half a chance? Does that make their detractors jealous or envious?

  362.  @Peak_Aussieman  Maybe not as lefty as you think and certainly not a troll bot (whatever one of those is). Eugenics has always happened, whether disguised as the death sentence or war. Why do you think loonies got locked up in the past? So they could not breed. Remember many of those loonies are walking amongst us, sometimes with grave consequences.

  387.  @kingrobotnik6950  I think you either did not read my remark properly or completely missed the point of it. If someone wants to live then I am fine with them living. If they want to die, is it really up to some virtue signalling individual to deny that? What about someone who has no idea if they are alive or dead (other than the pain they are suffering) and absolutely no quality of life? Switzerland has had this situation for years and it still rates quite high in terms of the best places to live. They also have very low crime rates and a very high number of guns per household even when compared to America.

  388.  @EgoChip  You obviously didn't see the suffering of my mother for the last 5 plus years of her "life", I could never have made the decision to end her suffering and would not have wanted anyone else to, but in the early stages she had said she didn't want to end up like she did, I would not have challenged her. My father died the way I want to, seemingly moderately healthy and active and enjoying life then dead, no prolonged suffering or feeling useless. I have 5 years left to outlive dad!

The last 5 or so years of my mother's life were truly awful to witness and as awful as it might sound to some, I think my father passed in a much more dignified way (the way I want to). I have around 5 years left to beat dad!

  399.  @basilbaby7678  All that I can say on the topic is that when I reach a point that I have deteriorated to a stage that I am unable to decide if I want to continue living then I would rather not as it would be worse than death. I do not like to see an animal suffering unnecessarily so why should I be any different?

The big issue is that it is us ordinary people who have facilitated this by wanting more and more but demanding it costs less and less. This same attitude has destroyed our industry.

  534.  @malcolmcuthbertson3359  That most certainly is not my solution - I come from about the last proper generation who had a decent apprenticeship before everyone was told that they need to have degrees. In my line of business, it is very hard to still find people who have the skill and knowledge needed and companies are finding this out to their cost. About the only suggestion I can come up with is to force companies over a certain size to take on a number of apprentices each year, but until we get a pretty extremist government, I doubt we will even get close to that. The problem then is who is there out there to train them? I offered to do it before I retired but there was no interest which led to an earlier retirement than the company anticipated.

  540.  @easternrebel1061  I totally agree with you about not buying over-priced EVs and the fact that they are not as environmentally friendly as portrayed. It is possible however to produce much cheaper EVs that would be much better suited to most people's day to day use and much cheaper to run the conventional vehicles for that purpose. Citroen have played at it, and while the Ami is a bit niche it would not take much to make it much more realistic to most people and not cost a huge deal more. To put this into perspective, when I visited Jersey in the Channel Islands about 30 years ago, there were a lot of electric powered vans used for deliveries on the island, not for any "righteous" reasons but due to pure economics. Strangely they happened to be from a very forward-thinking French car company?

As for loitering, ever heard of geo stationary orbits? It all sounds like good old American paranoia to me.

Parents should protect their children from anything that can harm them (including psychologically) but should be helping them to understand the world round them as they start to mature.

  609.  @somebloke13  I am not sure you are totally right regarding spreading AIDS, after all, they keep it between themselves. The other group that spreads it are the druggies. This is one reason that some suspect it is not a naturally occurring disease and was created to get rid of people seen as "bad" (eugenics) by those in power. As for paedos, that actually has nothing to do with being gay, just like being straight not meaning you like little girls. For many years being gay was a capital offence but that never stopped it from happening so it must be a genuine condition.

  659.  @adammckee3496  One of them was borderline and a bit obsessed with her weight. The problem these days is that too many young girls get obsessed with their weight because of the images promoted by the media (this applies to both ends of the spectrum!). What used to be referred to as puppy fat on young teenagers that soon disappears as they grow is now branded as obesity and ends up doing no end of harm.

  660.  @adammckee3496  As I have stated elsewhere, there is a big difference between womanly curves and over weight/ fat.

You only have to look at the mainstream catwalk models to see that.

They seem to be from a certain socioeconomic group. As for those who are running the country (as in truly running it and not just politicians), a good many of them will not be the older generation and those who are will be the ones benefitting from what is happening.

  698.  @annother3350  My thoughts on Noah are based on the fact that most ancient myths have a tiny bit of truth in them as they are the results of details of events / things being passed on by word of mouth over many generations. This will always mean you get what is often called "Chinese whispers" - Enemy in advance, send reinforcements becomes going to a dance, send three and four pence for us older folks. If the spaceship the aliens landed in gradually became interpreted as a large ship, because that is what people knew and the animals were just the DNA that would make sense. A slight alternative might not have been true aliens but former inhabitants of earth that had escaped the cataclysmic events and returned afterwards? Again, these Chinese whispers might even account for the creationist story if you think about it?
    1
  699.  @annother3350  I was not familiar with that "story" (i.e. version of events) but I am aware of many oddities and finds that cannot be really explained without a much more advanced technology having existed at one time.

  700.  @kriegjaeger  That is very interesting stuff and in many ways tells a viable version of the story. It also just triggered a thought that had not come into my mind until just now. What if it was not one ark from one place on earth but many arks from many regions affected by the floods (of which there is some pretty good evidence). Now this suddenly makes a whole lot more sense of things and could account for how various versions of the story fit into various parts of the world.

  725.  @TheSilversepiroth  The city I live in (well, I am on the edge of it I suppose) was never built with the idea of private car ownership, except in the "posher" parts as it was largely from the 1930's. Although I am very lucky and have off road parking for 3 cars & a garage joined to the house, most houses have just about enough space outside their narrow roads for one car but many have two. The result is that if I visit my son and his kids I sometimes have to park 10 minutes away (if I am lucky). Unless we destroy our countryside by building on it, there is no way we can have enough parking for any more cars. My Mrs cycles nearly everywhere in town because it is very often quicker at busy times! The traffic in the city is horrific at almost any time of day?

The problem then is that power corrupts etc.

There are quite a few people who use this sort of "broadcast" for very dark purposes that are not apparent until you start to dig a bit deeper.

  783. Anti abortionists are either happy clapping flat eart loonies or really love people destined to live in total poverty. In the days before civilised laws, the number of women who suffered horrifically at the hands of back street abortionists or even at their own hands was dreadful. Yes, there are better ways of stopping pregnancy, but even the very best are not 100% successful. We don't need more cripples and mental retards in this world, unless of course they can make a fortune from Tik Tok.

    1
  801.  @plompfie  While I totally agree with you that some of the things you list are very wrong I am still not really sure what "Gaslighting" means in the context you use it. Some of the things you list are actually just human nature and have always happened (and always will) although are possibly more widespread due to the internet / social media. Many are driven by the greed of capitalism. Just think, homosexuality was a capital offence in many countries - it still happened. As for the various forms / types of cross dressing, again, this has always happened and is totally harmless when carried out in private, much like BDSM where the motto is "safe, sane & consensual". There are cultures where polyamory / polygamy are the norm and strangely those are some with a very strong family culture. Do you believe that sex should only take place in the marital bed, under the bed clothes, missionary position with the lights out and then only for procreation? Whoever designed the human body may have made a mistake placing the pleasure park next to the sewer works but that is one heck of a pleasure park!

Are you one of those people who only believe what they read in the press? If so, I feel deeply sorry for you. Perhaps you need to brighten up your life with a little degenerate behaviour? A bit of pegging maybe would suit you or a good old fashioned group session?

  815.  @buragi5441  Sorry, but I have given you the most reliable evidence that there is in the form of Mr Akash and his somewhat extended family (ies). This is not something from a newspaper, written to sell newspapers or promote some idea. I sort of guess that you are an American so there is no real point in arguing further with you as you probably don't have a passport, have never left your state, probably not your county and still think that the earth is flat.

Good luck with your marriage to your 13 yo cousin and hopefully your children will not be too badly affected by inbreeding like many yanks seem to.

Note that I use the expression "in the name of" rather than "by", because a great many Catholics, like ordinary people from all faiths religious persuasions are good honest people. What You will notice about many Catholic countries is that the rich / poor divide seems great, mind you, that is true of very many countries with a religion based Leadership.

  832. What I find quite funny about all this feigned shock and disgust (commonly referred to as virtue signalling) is the fact that teddies like this are really old hat. My old local pub was a biker haunt ( not kids on mopeds but really serious bikers) they were never any trouble. The pub held fetish nights regularly, although I never attended as there was a strict dress code. I got very friendly (?) with some of the regulars at these events and bondage bears were popular with some of the ladies. That was 25 or so years ago!

  833. A lot of what you guys say makes some sense, however you do make total areses of your self far too often to earn my respect. You jump on more bandwagon than the left loonies put together.

  839.  @1chish  OK, it looks like you obviously lived through Maggie's time in power (in your imagination). You seem to have no grasp of what is really wrong with the NHS and thus why conversely it has the potential to be so good. I doubt you have ever really known people who lived through the times before the NHS like myself. Wind your neck in and stop believing everything you hear on you Tube as it is just as bad as the so called MSM. Talk to people who actually know what they are talking about!
    1
  840.  @1chish  Oh dear, I am very sorry that I assumed that you were of a younger generation with no concept of what Maggie did to the country. By saying that your "served", I assume you have a military background so you of all people should know how Maggie manipulated the people - the Falklands war was a wonderful example. At the time I had some unofficial access to a certain military publication not produced in the UK and it seems that no one was really surprised when it kicked off yet it suddenly seemed to surprise people (photos of Harriers with hastily painted out USAF markings is one image that springs to mind!). Regarding my knowledge of the pre NHS times, I grew up surrounded by people from that era as it sound like you did. Unless you were quite privileged, you must have heard some pretty horrible tales from back then. Regarding Blair, he was "new labour" - just a poor copy of a conservative, done to win votes and not a proper caring socialist as some of his predecessors were.
    1
  841.  @1chish  By the way, your remarks about what the NHS has become and why and how good it has been in the past are spot on. It is all down to greed, corruption and virtue signalling. Nurses don't need a degree to be a good nurse (my Mrs is a perfect example), and I have been surrounded by old school NHS people for over 30 years so I know a little of what goes on there. Oh, and I am sorry to hear that you seem to be the perfect example of the negative stereotype ex-service person, ranting at anyone who does not agree with their viewpoint. If you actually knew me you would soon realise that I am not how you describe me - I simply hate greed and what unchecked capitalism has done to this once great country just as much as I hate the climate activists & animal rights loonies.
    1
  842.  @1chish  The magazine I had access to was called Military Technology if I recall correctly and forgive me for my errors regarding the Harrier markings - I do not know anything about he US military structure so had assumed that being plains they belonged to the Airforce (just about my whole family & the Mrs' family were RAF!). Having looked into the Falklands situation after the event, I have to dispute your claim of only a weeks notice - there had been a clear military build up for some time in Argentina and hearing from someone who had been "down that way" that an Argy had enquired if it would be possible to land a Herc on the runway at Stanley a good while earlier does make you wonder what he may have been up to (I am sure the honest truth is still available somewhere on the net). As for Maggie's balls - yes - she was a strong woman I have to admit, but power hungry as well - hence the villainising of certain groups in society to win votes (something every party has done and always will do).

The loo was effectively outside although the door was in what might be called a conservatory these days.

It is only recently that it dawned on me how many Americans are very anti any form of birth control and that this was probably propaganda for their cause.

When our grandchildren were away with us in France in the summer the charge lead for their iPhones got broken so very quickly they had no tech to play with. Suddenly they were enjoying doing stuff kids used to do and in many ways became more grown up as a result.

I think I have a good idea of the effect of home schooling or as it seems to be trendy to call it, non schooling.

Dad started out in the rural economy then got into engineering in WW2 (RAF). He was very practical, coming from the make do and mend generation and did impart much of that on myself and my brother and sisters. School gave me the technical education I could never have got at home, physics, chemistry, maths and access to really good woodwork and metal workshops. There was no national curriculum in those days and schools tailored their teaching to suit the local industries. We even had a small farm where you learned about the rural skills as many of us would end up working in that economy.

Those who would deny their kids a decent education will condemn them to pretty limited chances in life, just like it used to be before the "National Schools" were introduced.

In olden days you virtually had to follow your father's footsteps which suited the wealthy perfectly.

My two older siblings were more lucky in that they got in to grammar schools but in truth it gave them no real advantage. We were all council house born and bred and our parents were very working class. The difference between us and the kids who left school with next to nothing was how we were brought up (as well as all being pretty intelligent which is not something you can teach! ).

Having only your parents views on the world is likely to either make you a clone of their way of thinking or make you rebel as soon as you can. It is important however that the parents do a great deal of the early education right from the start and up to 4 or 5 - a good example being my niece and nephew who could both read quite well by 5! The problem with many of today's parents is that I would not trust them to train a labrador dog.
