  1. Greed is a self feeding trait. Those who have the most almost always want more. That's why capitalism doesn't work for the planet or the people unless it's very strictly regulated. The wealthy will plunder until there's nothing left to plunder. It's government's role to regulate this. To re-balance. The tories don't do that. Grab all they can for themselves and their cronies until voted out.
  2. Did the whole series over 3 days. Loved it. Didn't know anything about it before the show but did a bit of reading up on it beforehand. Entertaining, brutal, gripping and funny.
  3. Yeah the ads are really brief and barely noticeable. Doesn't really impact at all imo.
  4. I'd be perfectly happy with this IF, big IF, it's in conjunction with proper investment in the NHS. If that means an increase in direct taxation for those that can most afford it, then great
  5. The capitalist system stranglehold is there for all to see with that little clip.
  6. So, massive political donor to the tories, Mohamed Mansour, Knighted by Rishi Rich. I think at this point they've simply given up and are just doing what they can whilst they're still at the helm.
  7. Extraordinary S2 (and S1 for that matter). Absolutely genius TV. Hilarious. Just finished S2 and eager for a new season!
  8. "Can the last person to leave the Tory party please turn off the light".
  9. Well, I'm in the right thread for this. You do know it's AND, yeah? Because it's in every post you make, pretty much.

    Not noticed the stammer as much as the slurring tbh.
  11. Weirdly disney is one of the platforms I don't have a problem with. Prime and Iplayer I have had issues with though. That's all going through a firestick

    I'm not saying that's a bad thing. But I think they'll be using whatever means at their disposal to make sure he's cognitively on the ball at these moments. Not too dissimilar to Reagan is his latter years as president, who was clearly struggling at times. Biden does seen to have had moments of confusion and verbal slurring/ mumbling. I still think he's competent enough to do the job, especially given the alternative ...
  13. Came across as a true Tory. Full on Maybot. Not an ounce of humanity in there.

    I'm genuinely sceptical that they might be 'juicing' him.
  15. Just to echo all of the above, I've been on sertraline for probably 6 years now. Before that I was on citalopram for a couple of years. Sertraline definitely works better for me. Not really had any bad side effects from it. I've tried to come off it a couple of times but like someone said above, after about 3-4 months I was getting really low so went back on it (though this was during lockdown so maybe not the best of times to try it!). But all in all, it's definitely benefited me. I'm on a half dose I think which is 100mg
  16. He's always making emotive rather than balanced decisions.

    Jos has come out fighting and stuck the knife into The Horn Dog.
  18. I've done seasons 1 - 3 recently. Loved them all, but S2 probably the best. I think S3 is probably the most Coen Brothers-y of the 3. Looking forward to S4 as I think Jessie Buckley is ace.
  19. I'm struggling to see how electing GG 'let's loose a world of pain and shit'. He'll very possibly be gone within 6 months. What this win does is send a clear message to the powers that be that people are not happy with their pussyfooting approach to the Israeli genocide.
  20. I would've, had I lived in Rochdale. TBH I'd vote for almost anybody whose main campaigning thrust was 'stop the Israeli genocide'. It's pretty much a single issue win. Yes, I know The double G is an arsehole. But I'd still have voted for him on the above basis.
  21. Primarily on the Israeli genocide issue. Hopefully it sends a message to the main parties (which the tories will obviously ignore) that a tougher, different stance needs to be taken on that issue. The situation come election day will hopefully be very different anyway but he's reflecting current sentiment IMO.
