The irony here is that a self proclaimed free speech fundamentalist who thinks freedom of speech should mean freedom of conscience celebrating someone resigning exactly because their freedom to speak to the BBC came with consequences. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s right she resigned given...

I’ll say it again. I’m loving this pre season. I just hope we can carry this form into the season.

In other news. Nat West boss cancelled for being a free market capitalist after anti cancel culture/pro free market warrior complains about being the “victim” of a free market economy.

Too be fair it’s more relevant than the last Labour government line

C4 news is the best news program on TV bar none. You’ve also got the brilliant Despatches. Then you’ve got the comedy, Father Ted, Inbetweeners, Vic Reeves big night out etc etc. Countdown is a national treasure. Then there’s the film arm of it. The film’s its been involved with as a production...

It’s not wise to compare the two in C4’s current form. The comparison is to the future that would be C4’s should it be privatised. You’re right in that TV is changing, especially how we watch it but C4 is ahead of the curve again. It’s the most streamed TV channel in the country. Largely...

It’s also estimated that selling it off would see its investment in program/film making drastically fall in line with other private entities in the same sector. Which would obviously affect income to its program makers and associated companies or companies B, C or D. We’re very lucky to have...

The silly thing is it has no debt, it costs the taxpayers zilch in funding and the way it funds program making is unique to the industry. Compare it to Netflix who’s massively in debt and its share price is tumbling. There is zero logic in selling it off, which is probably why Boris and Nads...

My head will explode if this happens.

To give it some context Sunak is on a -40 approval rating. His lowest ever following a recent drop of 6%. So in the big scheme of things it is going well relatively if you measure it against his only real rival. What isn’t going well is the population’s approval of politicians. UK politics is on...

Which part did you get in Scum? Hopefully not the lad in the potting shed.

Found this article from October 2021 quoting the document https://www.fromthemurkydepths.co.uk/2021/10/27/transport-secretary-criticises-ulez-expansion-despite-insisting-on-it/ Certainly seems The mayor is only doing as instructed by the government.

Seen that too and if true you’re right, that is a massive failure on labour’s part.

Apparently Dan Wooten is grifting for donations for his legal fees.

The odd thing with that is if the Tories are putting your policies surely the point is it’s because they can’t talk of their own policies or their own record.

It’s bizarre. It’s almost as if they’ve seen the movie Maze runners and thought it was a documentary.

We’re seeing the same with 15 minute cities. The right love jumping on this with huge conspiracy theories about mind control and lost rights. If you see a protest it’s typically bused in protester’s. Where it is happening it tends to be far more popular than unpopular amongst actual local...

I think that’s almost inevitable simply because of the throw away mentality we now have as consumers. They’ll be survivors but on the fraction of the scale we’ve seen in the past.

I find this hard to disagree with. I also suspect that battery powered cars are just a stop gap until hydrogen powered cars become more viable. I also don’t understand why the government also isn’t heavily investing in green hydrogen production right now as that in my mind is very obviously the...

I think to some degree he’s right. Tactically. Get into power. Then start being frank about the harsh reality of brexit. If he does it in opposition the Tories and their compliant press will use it against him. His best chance of winning the next GE is to make it about anything but brexit. Too...
