We've seen over the last 30 years word become weaponised and others lose their meaning as societal attitudes have changed. There's one word I absolutely hate though and I was wondering if it's just me. The "n" word is horrific and shocking to me but so is the "q" word (for gay pe...

They have the internet on computers now?

The fact my post has 14 kudos and theirs has the grand total of 2 (you and Darthwell) at least shows what the prevailing view over there is. And it's not in favour of Kremlin propaganda about nazificiation and crisis actors being beamed into people's homes. We're not just talking bias but outright ...

Ginnyfan clearly perfectly fine with Russian disinformation (or "facts from another perspective" as they put it) being broadcast to the world. This morning it's been reported that the woman rescued from the rubble of the bombed maternity hospital that Russian media insisted was a crisis a...

Oh god, the BBC Three threads and BBC One threads has been taken by the rath of BBCMeridian, just regurgitating what we already know. Doesn't help I feel some sort of argument brewed up because of the prospect of CBBC being "on" BBC Three. I really don't get why they dislike CBeebies so m...

If I were a gambling man, I would say that England and Sweden may be the countries to lead the world out of this mess and downgrade COVID to an endemic.

Boris makes my skin crawl so it pains me to think that.

It's down to money, both the Scottish and Welsh Governments would go further but they can't because the Treasury won't give them more money or reintroduce things like furlough. It comes down to the same argument though. If England continues to resist going further (and it would seem certain that ev...
