Good grief why do you always misunderstand? It's not coming from Netflix, haven't you noticed Starmer has latched on to it, Downing St even invited Graham and Thorne in to talk about it.
“I ask myself who is paying and who ultimately benefits” - the answer is Netflix, isn’t it?

Like I said, it's a drama about a white middle class family. It's safe for them to pull their cocks off about.

Dramatise the Southport murders and he will be in hiding.
The probably will when enough times elapsed for the parents if there is even such a thing.

Shroedingers government, always a crank favourite. Completely useless yet secretly running the world behind the scenes.

Is that a big priority for Netflix? For Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham? Just trying to understand where this “massive propaganda campaign” is coming from.
Bandwagon jumping on.

Pathetic response from Starmer


Firstly it's not a response to Trump:

'A consultation on the government's EV target changes ended in mid-February'

And secondly the changes are minor tweaks.

Obviously you find it pathetic, but I think most would say it's fairly sensible and not worth crying about.

The notion of continuing with the nonsense of fining uk manufacturers for not achieving impossible targets is pathetic and oddly the industry definitely think it’s something worth crying about

Oh. Your issue isn't that the policy has been relaxed, your issue is that it should have been relaxed further?

The government is claiming it’s trying to support the industry and is making statements now - he says he’s being bold and backing British brilliance

Starmer should leave the car industry to it and focus on providing net zero public transport. Why we've still got diesel trains running all over the country 140 years after the first electrified railway god only knows.
The cars are going to be for the rich and business providers anyway,get on with it,mass transit and don't dare equate trip on one person in a car to be competitive.

I've always been deeply suspicious of anything attached to a massive propaganda campaign, I ask myself who is paying for it and who ultimately benefits. The focus seems to be on restricting social media for minors, that is what the main writer Jack Thorne has said and Australia has already legislated in that area. The new age of censorship is upon us.

We've always censored things based on age ratings, generally for the protection of children. Are you against that?

With the latest gold price, it means Gordon Brown lost the UK over £30 billion pounds.
How very prudent he was.

They really don't help themselves.


Once again, if you actually read the details it's nothing like the headline would have you believe.

'LABOUR DROPS RAPE GANG INQUIRIES!!!'

No, Labour is providing the exact same funding but is making it available for local authorities to use how they see fit for their particular cases.

There's plenty to knock them for without resorting to this

Read it again and come back to me.

The fact that as far as I can see only the Telegraph, Express and GBeebies seems to be reporting it says it all.

And see if you can do it without calling me a cuck.

You can only see them reporting as probably the left wing media won't, as like you and the government, they shit their pants when it comes to tackling these issues.

I have read it. It's a complete joke. It was the weakest form of investigation in the first place, but they don't even have the balls to go through with it, and have instead opted for 'local authorities', which was more or less the criticism in the first place.

Anyone sticking up for this is a grooming gangs apologist, or an idiot. I hope you are the latter.

Yeah I'm clearly a grooming gang apologist, I can see how you've drawn that conclusion 🙄

You're quite happy to 'simp' for a serial sexual abuser and guy that hangs around with paedos so maybe get off your high horse if that's the game you want to play.

Gold is worthless to the population at large, we have no rights to it and the country gains nothing from it. It is a sovereign currency issuer, it doesn't need to sell gold to 'raise money'.

So it's OK for you to do it, but when someone else does it it's 'pathetic'.

You're an absolute parody of yourself.

I haven't done anything, so stop trying to deflect onto me to protect yourself.

You are here sticking up for this useless government, and are quite happy to watch the grooming gangs scandal continue with no effort to stop it or investigate it. That is what is pathetic.

Don't come at me on morals either. You have quite happily abandoned them in favour of simping for your political party of choice. Frankly, you've got no balls.

If you don't support a national enquiry on grooming gangs then it says everything about you.

Where have I said I don't support an inquiry into grooming gangs?

All you're doing is continuing to prove that you're really fucking good at reading things that aren't there and getting angry about those made up things.

You kicked off and threw yourself in front of a bus to defend your beloved government after they said they weren't going to have an inquiry.

If you support one, then just say it rather than being a twat. Putting politics in front of morals is not a good look otherwise.
