I take it with your disdain for the labour movement you have never taken a weekend off in your life and insist on being paid below minimum wage?

I can think of a lot of cheaper holidays in the uk. What is wrong with good old fashioned camping? I know, people are prepared to pay ridiculous money for something quite different. iv’e been, enjoyed most things but it is not something I’d do again because our Uk has a lot more to offer.

I guess there is a time and a place for protest? It’s not every day people have the opportunity to restrain their views. Maybe Andrew should be put in the stocks for a 96 hour walk past. But it would be good next week. He is not likely sweating over people shouting at him is he?

That’s what starmer said the key word being respect. He wasn’t pushed though as respect has to be mutual and in all directions.

Booing and holding placards are far less crazy than the shared hysteria I’ve been watching on the tv this morning

People keep saying that but there never seems to be the right time or the right place or the right type of protest for some people. Just look at the BLM protests, commentators moaning because they were violent, based mainly on the pulling down and/or vandalism of statues claiming they wouldn’t have a problem if it was a peaceful protest. So the England footballers take the knee, no, not like that, that wasn’t the peaceful protest we were talking about, sport is not the place for making a statement, unless it’s wearing a poppy.

For the record I’m pro wearing the poppy and pro taking the knee. If that’s the person’s choice.

It’s a bit weird hearing cheering. Far more restrained than Diana hyesteria but there are still a few days to go.

People have a right to have an opinion about a protest.

We are a tolerant society. BLM people get shot for doing less in America. Take the Knée was another I’ll judged expression of unity. It would have been better if the aggrieved, myself included should have said ‘Stand Together against Racism’. It may irk the racists but isn’t that the intention? My guess is they would be voiceless and actually hate every moment of it.
The take the knee gesture failed to include the crowd. It would have been some spectacle seeing those who are racist actually sit firm in their belief.

It wasn’t even that. It was a parody account someone accidentally mistook for Owen Jones (easily done Jones is a self parody) and immediately removed once they realised their mistake.

Apart from everything that is happening to us at the moment, what’s your reasoning?

I can't tell if the question is sarcastic. But ultimately even though I'm more Conservative and can forgive a reasonable amount to suck it up and vote for the party more aligned with my views, I don't feel like I should be rewarding the incompetence thats been on display with my vote. Getting that dimwit Truss in as leader has cemented that opinion. Surprising as the one thing they usually do is read the room right when appointing a new leader, but alas.

Last Week Tonight censored on Sky. Is this really offensive to anyone at all, particularly anyone who would be watching that show?

“But obviously, we need to start with the UK, which is clearly still reeling from the shocking death of a 96-year-old woman from natural causes.”

“It is a big moment which, for some reason, absolutely everyone felt that they had to weigh in on from Crazy Frog, which tweeted out ‘RIP the Queen’ [and a] candle emoji … to Domino’s UK which posted, ‘Everyone at Domino’s joins the nation and the world in mourning the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Our thoughts and condolences are with the royal family.’ ”

“Which, I guess, is nice, although if the world is mourning, they should maybe tell the US Domino’s account, whose most recent tweet as of this taping is ‘if ur reading this it means u need pizza like to confirm.’ ” Oliver continued, “Get your f–king house in order, Domino’s! A LADY IS DEAD.”

They do. My point is that certain people with platforms say that they’re pro protest but then take every opportunity to deny BLM, Insulate Britain or any other protest they consider woke, lefty, metropolitan liberal elite a platform to protest. It’s always the wrong time, place or type of action.

Hardly "losing it".

There does seem to be a bit of a weird anti Charles thing going on with these sorts of videos emerging. You would never have had a recording such as this released to social media if it was the Queen.
