If they get cold they can pop into the Jolly Sailor to get warmed up. After that they can pop into the boozer next door for a drink3 points

Currently watching a rather bizarre take on what would have been the Diamond League athletics in Oslo, with various semi-exhibition events including Lavillenie taking part in the pole vault via a delayed video link-up from his back garden in France.1 point

True like. You make one little comment about how autistic girls are being tricked into transitioning and suddenly there's a #WeAreNotConfused hashtag full of actual autistic trans people telling you you're wrong, based solely on [checks notes] their own lived experience. Everyone's so sensitive these days.1 point

PL is right on this one. I gave up after Hollyoaks had a plot about a lass who wanted to be a gay lad. Best stay away from these debates.1 point

there's an undeniable distinction between sex and gender. rowling is spot on tbf. not only that, the way she expresses her opinion is reasoned, thoughtful and considerate - unlike the twitter keyboard warriors. some of the abuse she's received is vile.1 point

"ring of steel" https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8409331/Statue-Scouts-founder-Lord-Baden-Powell-REMOVED-seafront.html disappointed not to see some of the Gammon among my acquaintances not taking the opportunity to get themselves on to the mail online lead story, contrary to the threats they were making on Facebook this morning to protect to the death a statue of a widely rumoured paedo that's been there little more than a decade1 point

Some councillor on twitter saying they've just received all of the posters and leaflets from central govt, ready for Monday, all of which stipulate the 2m rule. I think we all know what's coming before Monday.1 point

Can't help thinking these fuckers want to return to those "times" - look at the nostalgia for the 50s as if they were some kind of moral utopia when they really mean they were whiter.1 point

There was someone on twitter yesterday posting about King Leopold of Belgium, who has now been canceled. He was saying that one of the worst things he's seen was a pic of a bloke in the Congo holding his 5 year old daughter's amputated hand and foot, courtesy of the King. Some absolute Jeremy Clarkson had responded arguing that that was fine cos he was a "man of his times". Like mutilating 5 year olds was just fine 120 years ago.1 point

If WWE can forgive Chris Benoit for murdering his wife and child in a concussion and steroid induced rage, surely we can forgive comedians using the language of their day1 point

Pick your favourite contradiction. The importance of exercising in the fresh air has been reiterated throughout this, but it's also fine to have mile-long queues of cars with their engines idling while they wait for their Big Mac and fries. I like that one.1 point

It's not even the week - it was saying the lockdown was starting on Monday and allowing pubs to have the Friday night - even that icing on the cake stupidity probably killed thousands.1 point

Hold on. Cheltenham was undertaken whilst the government stated it wasn't a risk, before lockdown. The government has since released lockdown, effectively allowing for the gathering of large crowds, be that on Bournemouth beaches or around statues of slave traders. The government has said it is acceptable to travel hundreds of miles in a car with others, including children, whilst symptomatic, and to drive where the fuck you like to test your eyesight. The attorney general, who is supposed to be impartial, has publically stated this was not illegal, even during lockdown, so its surely okay now? What we needed was a societal response to the pandemic, but for that to work, we absolutely have to led by the government. They have completely failed to give that lead, so yes, now its entirely up to what each individual thinks is acceptable according to his or hers own risk. Clearly the demonstrators were happy to take the risk they did for them. Fair enough. They did nothing wrong, ask the government.1 point

This kind of equation grips my shit. It’s like cunts on fb and Twitter saying “what about cops killed by criminals”. Cummings is a member of the government, we have an expectation that the people making the rules abide by them. We also get annoyed when they lie through their fucking teeth about it. We don’t hold protesters sick of racism to the same standards for a reason.1 point

As for removing comedy that is offensive by today’s standards, I can see the argument but I think it’s generally more important to leave things like that in view as an education tool. I’m not saying we should have Little Britain replayed at prime time on a Friday night but culture moves and is defined by the reactions to what has went before it. Learning why those things were offensive and learning how to be better in the future is a far more important way to live life than burying your head in the sand and pretending you’ve been woke all along. Like, yes, Apu in The Simpsons was a heavily stereotypical character but if anyone says they actually never laughed at the episode where Homer works in the Kwik-e-Mart because they knew it was racist all along is doing more harm than good and is as blinkered as the turbo PC Police.1 point

For some reason the film Grease was discussed on 5 live this morning. Apparently a lot of people want it banned. Not because it doesn't feature any black characters, but because Danny gropes sandy at the drive through! FFS! Be afraid @Monkeys Fist, your days of letching are gonna catch up with you!1 point
