Agreed, very rare to watch live TV. Record everything & fast forward ads.
Rugby exception though.
Seriously pissed with @itvsport.bsky.social trashing the 6 Nations Rugby with 10 second micro adverts if there's a stoppage.
Really bolloxes the enjoyment.

@itvsport.bsky.social are you listening!!

Before anyone says anything - yes there's a fair bit of generalising in that.
IMPE the oldies I know are r/wing, doting on the rose-tinted past, not adapting to change & not considering next 30 yrs at all. Youngsters are broadly the exact opposite as they have to live through the shit left for them

No surprise there.
Throw in voting tendency & it gets worse.
The old folks are more likely to vote. Old folks also have no future to consider (closer to death).
Youngsters have the most to gain but have been dismissed too often.
Middle age prob depends more on regionality & cultural exposure.

Should bury the 🍊💩🫟 in the foundations.
Then make like the wannabe pharaoh and bury the sycophants at the same time.

Unreal that in today's 'informed' age, one deranged person can be the cause of so much heartbreak and destruction.

Maybe following the family tradition started when his great (x1?) grandfather, Fredrich, was thrown out of Germany for dodging military service in 1885.
Stripped of citizenship in 1905.

Sometimes just having a sounding board makes it worth the time we spend. Even if so far down the political food chain that neither of our governments will hear our opinions.
Vent (or discuss) and move on. Stay chill.

If anything like Afghanistan they're screwed. Invaded 3x by the Brits, failed 3x; Russians x3, failed x3; US spent 20yrs & failed. Last conquered 1385.
Iran has about 4,500 years of warfare to lean on. The US is barely out of preschool.

Is that going to change much given all the noise we've had about the military being bound to ignore illegal orders?
Allegedly the generals could just turn round and say 'no' if they were that bothered by it.
Way easier said than done.

Very Putinesque, just like blaming Ukraine for starting that war.
The US will finish when Netanyahoo lets them go home.

Higher education *and* multi-cultural exposure.

He'll probably send them a big Mac voucher. Seems to be trumps idea of honouring anyone.

Beat me to it. 💯👍

He's doing his Zionist duty and supporting the genocidal lunatics.

The racist underbelly thrives on suppression of facts, stoking discontent & pandering to hatred to drive sensationalism and readership.
I never understand why moderately successful offspring of immigrants hate immigrants so much.

Very trumpian.

Therein lies democracy's weakness.
Democracy depends on the tacit agreement of all parties to follow & uphold the law.
If a leader says 'nah, sod that' & a large enough group follows suit, enabling said leader without pushback, then democracy will struggle to contain them.

After Corbyn, UK Labour elects Keir Starmer, Zionist with Jewish wife, as leader New opposition chief immediately apologizes to Jews for anti-Semitism in ranks, vows to 'tear out this poison'; his wife comes from a Jewish family, has relatives in Tel Aviv

'defensive'...🤣🤣🤣
Iran is not a British war, it's an Israeli/US war for no good reason. All he's done is endanger the UK & UK military, no doubt there will be retaliation.
Even the Times of Israel calls him a Zionist with a Jewish wife, which explains a lot.

Oi! She's light-years behind Whitesnake.

A good sign you're worrying them.

Stay strong from across the pond.🤘

The most destructive vote after Brexit would be for farage.
Reform voters need to look at the maga voters to see their future.
Less healthcare, fewer jobs, higher prices, pollution and destruction. That is their future & too damn stupidly racist to see it.

Labour is not standing against genocide, is not protecting the environment, is not linking w/ Europe, is not hitting the super rich tax dodgers, is not calling out trump, is lurching to the right, is kissing trumps arse, is supporting Zionism...
No wonder votes are lost to Green Party and Lib Dems

End the sewage pollution scandal We're sick of it. Sick of the lies, sick of the greed, and sick of a system rigged against us. This is a scandal and this dirty business must end. For more than 30 years water companies have put corpo...

Compelling and rage inducing : Dirty Business, the series.
Water companies putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action!

Sick of sewage? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Nailed it in the last 4 seconds.
...people are not seeing the change they voted for.

Younger folk are key, more multicultural, environmentally aware, socially conscious, globally educated & ignored by the establishment.
The young see a lifetime of crap left by the old parties & realise those parties are not stepping up to sort out their mess.
Who counts as young? U 50? U 45? 🤷‍♂️

Indeed, as long as Labour is seen to support genocide, suppress free speech, fail to protect the environment, fail to shout about achievements and fail to reign in the rich tax dodgers they will struggle.
Reality is sinking in & (most) punters are not as stupid as they think but are ill informed

"I know it's none of my business..."

Well, shut up then.
This thread has enormous 'rabbit hole' potential 😆
