"Careful now..."


Downsouth - I'm so with you



But when it works so well why would anyone change it?


"The easiest way to keep people in line is to scare the shit out of 'em" - Be Dead by The Fatima Mansions


You see how we are treated at airports? That's how governments would love to treat us all the time...

"The paper reports the BBC's executive editor Karl Warner said: "She's one of the hottest acts around and an important voice of her generation."


And according to the Beeb website, BBC Three controller Danny Cohen said: "She's one of the hottest acts around and an important voice of her generation."


Busted! >:D<

Whilst picking up a takeaway curry yesterday (couldn't be bothered to do a sainsburys shop frankly) I was flicking through that dreadful rag they call the sun.

Yesterday's main editorial basically said "lets go to war with Iran".

No matter how horrific a paper it amy be we can't deny it has a hefty influence.

By and large the majority did not support the last war, do you think Murdoch can sway the populace over Iran with rubbish rhetoric like "The only thing worse than a War with Iran, is a nuclear Iran...blah...ahmdinejad bad man...blah"

Like me, when you actually pick it up occassionally, the Sun STILL manages to surprise and offend in equal measure


Not sure if it has a "hefty" influence tho'. And do you mean influence on "the powers that be" or the poulation at large. I would argue they have more power on the political advisors than the general population


If you are of voting age and influenced by Sun editorials, then you are likely just as easily influenced by lots of other tosh as well...

    • I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?
    • Always preferred Grace and Favour to the BMC, commented in the past on this and sadly long since gone   
    • If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.
    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
