Jeez, what happened to Christ is King? I'll bet Tommy Two-names and his newly religious following are absolutely outraged by the general population's lack of interest in the CofE head honcho. Or could it be that their recent loud support of (presumably an Anglican) God and the Church is just...

Christ. You are obsessed with a fact that it's only in your head. I've literally linked to academic studies that suggest there is no evidence of a mass migration of the very wealthy because of an increase in tax. That's because, by and large they've chosen to live in this country because of the...

I'm not unhappy with that, we played some decent stuff, kept at it, and managed the last fifteen pretty well without having to pull a Norwich to survive. Could've been better, but could also definitely have been worse. Well earned point, imho.

There's an awful lot of assumptions and claims here and not a lot of evidence. Dumb policy? I could just as well say that what's dumb is persisting with this centrist/right wing bollocks of cut, cut , cut your way to growth (but don't hurt the rich). We've been trying that for a while now, and...

Turns out that "millionaires leaving" bit, is a bit of a myth. https://taxjustice.net/press/millionaire-exodus-did-not-occur-study-reveals/ Wealth inequality has been rising steadily since the 1970s, so it's not just QE that's caused it, it's an ongoing reluctance to even attempt to...

Sorry - I've bitten your head off unfairly. I sincerely apologise. I was going to delete my post, but it's probably fairer if I leave it there as a monument to my stupidity. It won't be the only one that's out there. I bow entirely to your opinion on Kimmel being unfunny and past it - I...

Bugger me, these questions are hard. Can you ask me something easier. First scorer at the Ricoh? I know that one. I think. :D

Indeed - and to talk about growth whilst ignoring inequality is, imho, ridiculous. This isn't a poor country but what wealth we have is increasingly being funneled towards a very small number of people. By 2023, the richest 50 families in the UK held more wealth than half of the UK population...

Isn't where you draw the line on free speech, at incitement to violence (or as Starmer pointed out today, on inciting others to self-harm/suicide)? That doesn't seem unreasonable to me. Where I'd concede it gets trickier is hate-speech, defined as "Expressions of hatred toward someone on...

Bullshit. Utter dumb bullshit. He was obviously dropped precisely and exactly because he criticised the weaponisation of Kirk's death by Trump and his acolytes. Look at the timing and tell us how many shows get cancelled with no notice because of falling ratings. You're taking absolute...

If you think the Tories have a better record on diversity than Labour just because they've had two female leaders, then you don't really understand what diversity is. Don't, whatever you do, Google Islamaphobia and the Tory party, for a start.... You're standing up for a party that fucked the...

Just on the latter, I was sternly warned that it would make me go blind. I asked if I could just do it until I needed glasses.

Y'know, I'm not entirely sure these things are good for kids! Possibly not us either. :) In truth, I just turn off chat on all of these things, and usually spend no more than two minutes (or approximately eight to ten deaths) before sloping quietly back to single player mode.

I do enjoy the odd game of Forza Horizons on the Xbox (mostly, I try to get all of the classic cars I'd have in real life if I had the money), and even a bit of COD, though I find first person shooter games tend to give me motion sickness after a while. I'm obviously far too old for this, but...

Thank you, mate, for saving me from having to listen to it. 😁

Ah, you're only human. How about US ambassador, standards are a bit lower for that position. 😁

I think you could make a fair argument for saying he wasn't really political at all. It looks like, at first glance anyway, he had a strong issue with what Kirk was saying about a number of things, and decided that the only solution was to shoot him. There's no indication he was advocating...

I believe there's a sudden vacancy for a new spin doctor at Number 10. Assuming that you've been behaving yourself on social media for the last ten years or so, I think you'd be a good fit. 😁

That is literally what Trump is saying... https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-administration-says-will-target-far-left-groups-kirks-assassinat-rcna231605 Elon Musk, "the left is the party of murder". https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5502535-elon-musk-charlie-kirk-death/

Just to briefly come back to the claim that political violence is a radical left wing issue, there's a factual report that offers this: "Extremist-related killings in recent years have primarily been committed by far-right extremists. Mass shootings caused a substantial portion of those deaths...
