You see, that’s where you fall down, you think everyone lives your lifestyle.

Of course I still haven't worked out if innocent minds are being corrupted or people are just too thick these days. For instance how can so many young lads admire some guy online so much they take to the streets demanding his release after he's been arrested for trafficking in Romania?

Thick people used to be bright enough not to showcase it that often. Now they’ve got a global community and it’s actively celebrated. They look at you as of your daft for listening to experts. The sight of Marjory Taylor Greene in the speakers chair the other day was mind boggling. It’s should terrify everyone how that’s even possible. Look how far Lee Anderson has got in life. That wouldn’t have happened 20 years ago. There’s been a massive shift backwards

I’m guessing you don’t live in a mud hut

I totally get where you're coming from. The amount of sh*t I've had to ignore on whatsapp from friends and family spouting looney stuff they have seen online. It ranges from pure tin foil hat stuff like pizzagate to simple stuff like Linekers "leftist woke agenda'.

I mean the guy can't just have an opinion. 'He's up to something and we need to stop him. It's war.' It's all just f*ckin *******s.

My Brother has taken to quoting Neil Oliver & Lozza Fox recently.
Needless to say he has recently discovered GB News.

Well don’t guess.
You’re liable to be very wrong.

There’s nothing wrong with your internet connection.

Mudnet is pretty reliable.
It doesn’t do twitter and stuff though.

I mentioned this on the TV thread a while back... It's Laurence Fox inviting a GP on his show to talk about lockdowns and getting visibly p*ssed off when the doctor doesn't fully agree with him. The bit where Laurence dismisses using data to make informed decisions is hilarious.

Skip to 15 minutes....

Apart from football and specs, history is my main interest.
I see the similarities between the internet and the invention of the printing press.

Nothing is really new, most things have happened before, and people are still people.

Laurence never took the divorce well. He’s another one who’s dense and can’t figure out why every person on the planet is a d1ck, apart from him.

That style of presenting where the anchor does the long monologues, comes from RT. They were well ahead of the game.
