Honestly the only hope is if the robots decide to deal with the issue by handing power to women. Anything else and we are doomed

We are in uncharted territory. A lot depends on what Labour does next. If they stick with Starmer things will get worse. Time is running out.

Yes it’s sad.

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

β€œI get it” he says. Clearly he does not.

He’s nearly 20 years younger than me and yet sounds so old and out of touch with reality. Can’t think why πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

As they say, football is a simple game.

Errr no we didn’t have the same players available. Such short memories!

Exactly so and I give him credit for that

I think those losses can be put down to lack of squad depth. They were nevertheless some decent performances

Well yes but all those showed marked improvement over the last couple of months and more. He’s a young manager and is clearly learning still but you can see how he’s getting better and so are the players. That’s how I see it anyway

You are a hard man to please it seems. Why do you think it has taken you until now to think he β€˜might’ be good enough?

Democracy is not possible when the rich can buy power and influence

I’m so loving it. Playoff push is on for sure

It was always a sword never a guillotine.

🀣🀣 But we won’t have to wait long for a new doom laden whisper, mark my words

Not insane to those who profit from it. There’s the rub

What parental supervision? I am a responsible parent but it is simply not possible to effectively supervise online activity under the status quo

Doubt it. Power and money will prevail, as always

It made such a difference. And tomorrow we might even see it again. Woohoo!

Haven’t watched any Winter Olympics yet but apparently we might get a gold tonight for the tea tray race. Let’s gooooo πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

I think this is the right take. But how to counteract the argument? So many people think wealthy people’s opinions are worth more because they’re rich and therefore must be clever

13.02.2026 15:20 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Depends on recovery but in principle, yes

I agree. The BBC has really lost authority for me

And the fact that Bannon is still playing in the Championship, at his age, shows how valuable this type of player is.

Peter Mandelson had lied repeatedly, declared a shocked Keir Starmer – adding, β€˜Also, you'll never guess the Pope’s religion, or what woods-based activity all those bears get up to’
