What little acts of rebellion or activism do you do?

[Steelworks]

I’m not talking about going on marches, but minor things, that you know about.

Mine is I won’t play Michael Jackson songs, after all the alleged behaviour, which certainly wouldn’t be accepted by today’s standards.

The second is I won’t buy McCain products, after they put out an advert for Smileys, which referred to ‘knocker’s’ in them. I thought that language had died out in the seventies.

Being manly - I’m in totally fine with that, like my grandsons who are manly, love football, the gym, golf etc but also the most gentle souls, respectful to women - what’s that to due with ghastly MJ?

Because I don’t!

You're taking this way too seriously!!

And you don't actually know how incredibly wealthy I am 😉

I’m adopting the DP family event response 👌

Oh gosh I'm a positive radical anarchist compared to some of these posts. I don't see unfollowing people's SM has any effect on anything?

I'm very involved with SEN educational rights ( there is law in England via the send code of practice). So just ensuring law is followed via legal rights. But I'm doing a bit more then un following SM or posting angry emoji.

Absolutely nothing that's rude, threatening or illegal either. I'm legally expressing my legal rights

I won't watch Pointless with Alexander Armstrong after I found out he's a strong fox hunting supporter.

His government really could have done better in India. Millions died in the Bengal famine.

I quickly rinse but refuse to wash up packaging heading for recycling. DH spends ages making sure everything going in the recycling bin is scrupulously clean. Drives me nuts - if the council want me to do this for them they can pay me an hourly rate - I have more than enough to do.

You would start using heroin just because it was legalised?

You think he’s a national hero. I think he was a warmonger. Both opinions.

However are you denying that he had the best food and drink while people died?

But apparently he’s a ‘national hero’ and therefore above reproach 🙄

in terms of the food, have you got any historical sources academic texts / books to prove that ?

I cancelled my Guardian subscription some years ago due to their Trans bias.

Churchill was a very flawed man, but still a great man. In the FWW, he made a mistake in his planning for the Gallipoli campaign and many soldiers died. What did he do? He left his government job and went to join the fighting men in the trenches of the Western Front, with the attitude that if he died, so be it - he deserved to.

Yes, he made some bad decisions. If any of us had to make the kind of decisions he had to, some of them would be wrong ones. And he was a man of his time with attitudes of his time - you can hardly blame him for that. But he was incredibly courageous and magnanimous, had great energy and charisma and was one of the few politicians in the late 30s who warned about Hitler and was against appeasement.

Read about him fully, and then judge him, but don't trot out trite stuff about how many cigars he smoked. Yes, he was a functioning alcoholic, but he put in 20 hour days during the war, and in those circumstances, I think I would be too.

I cancelled my ChatGPT and Claude subscriptions and moved to Mistral's Le Chat (a French company), losing 18 months of very valuable discussion threads in the process. I am simply not having conversations about my life or my business with AI tools based in what is turning into a dictatorship led by a total wassock. I have found that I like Le Chat better for multiple reasons - it definitely feels more European in approach and it looks worldwide for sources of information. As much as I liked Claude in particular for my work, I haven't regretted the move.

I think he was a warmonger.

So you'd rather have appeased Hitler?

Or simply - their misogyny / anti women bias. A bit like dumpy Keir.

It’s a very fast car!

Can you lick boots harder please. Jesus Christ.

I no longer visit a gaming cafe in our village that provides board games and took all Harry Potter themed games off the shelf due to JK Rowling's view's. They gave the reason on their Facebook page that they didn't want to trigger "good hearted people" who believe spaces should be safe for all. My 12 year old daughter now wouldn't feel comfortable wearing her Harry Potter hoodie as she doesn't want to be accused of not being "good hearted" or anti trans. I just don't appreciate being told I can't enjoy the work of an author due to their views. We are not Nazi Germany where books should be burned in the street, and maybe I'm getting old and grumpy but this just feels like virtue signalling, especially with the big sticker on the door with the Trans Rainbow logo that says "We are a safe space" All places should be a safe space for everyone surely, not just one particular community? It just feels a bit "look at us we are so down with the kids and tolerant" and that it seems so easy to call some anti bloody trans. You can wear yellow and identify as a banana for all I give a fuck but don't dictate to me that's I'm not allowed to be a Harry Potter fan.

And he's a very good driver.

I agree that that’s the only person it affects, but I disagree that that’s a problem really. I’ve worked in several shops, and I was there anyway, so moving something back to its correct shelf was really not a big deal. Moving things back, putting out new stuff, straightening up shelves/rails, taking things back from the changing rooms etc - made no difference to me which one I was doing.

I won’t go to Lush because of their stance on chest binding.
i don’t eat Cadburys because it tastes crap and they use palm oil.
wont buy Nike because of Dylan Mulvaney

This is really not funny. This is a matter of safety - if the family were on the golf course that is against the rules of play and public right of way and exceptionally dangerous. Whoever is playing has priority.
If one of them was hit by a golf ball they could be seriously injured.

The rules of golf state shouting if a ball is mishit to warn other golfers let alone random members of the public. This is also part of a golfers insurance too.

It was not rude at all. It was correct and totally relevant.

Churchill's policies worsened the effects of the Bengal Famine.

We can all choose Churchill facts to support our arguments!
