It's invaded every part of life, like a cancer.
Escaping it is becoming increasingly difficult, it's come down to locking myself away, listening to music and watching old movies on Talking Pictures ( with the warning at the start that I might find it offensive).

Yes I think I might have mentioned it.
'Entertainment' these days seems to be made for the brain dead, or to make people brain dead, and it's main function is propaganda.
They want us out of cars, and preferably to stop us eating meat.
Our history is being re-written. What we can say or even think is getting more controlled. Pride in our people & nation is discouraged. The opposite is encouraged.
The country is unrecognisable. The government is more concerned with Ukraine's borders than our own.
The government seems to be bent on sending us all to the poor house. Everything worth living for is being eroded. 
The government, though, are just front men. The squabbling in the house of commons is pretty much a show. A smoke screen. Professional wrestling is more genuine. It is to give the impression your vote counts. That the politiciens are selected by, and serve the people. That we are their bosses. 
Needless to say, we are not. They serve the international jakals, who hold their meetings in Davos etc. Who control the big corporations, who fund the political parties. Who own the news outlets & Hollywood, control the money supply, who have their agents in the highest positions of the civil service & education. 
The government isn't interested in what we want, and how to deliver. It pushes through media, taxation and downright fcuking lies what it wants. Everything is top down, not bottom up. Everything

I highly recommend this book. It's only been out a few weeks, and I've read it twice.  It explains how things are, as opposed to how they should be.

Morgoth summed the situation up nicely, yesterday

I can't get my head around how things are.
Not so long ago, TV entertained, footballers just played football,
teachers taught.(I've no doubt when I was at school in the 70s, my teachers were commies, but they left their beliefs outside the classroom, unlike today)
Now everything has a political message, there's no escape.

Mrs H has infant / junior aged grandchildren, and the rubbish they come out with, is horrifying. The education system performs the same function as the media (and sport, heaven help us), but gets 'em at an early age.
We are living in the embers of a once great nation, where any suggestion the nation was once great, is quickly pounced upon, and replaced with either the notion that great progress has been made, or it hasn't changed at all.

I can't watch the news anymore, local London news channels are horrific, unless your skin colour happens to be black and its all about promoting that, sod anybody else.

Not necessarily. This trans shit is getting a big push, and getting on with the same sex is to be applauded. Especially if you're male.

But getting back to minorities, who are anything but in London (or Birmingham), the people who push for inclusion, and think anyone rocking up on a boat is just as British as anyone else once they get a NI number, are the same people who tell 'the minorities' how oppressed by whitey they are, with their white privilege. 

Makes me wonder if unity is really what they're going for.

Exactly, who are they, cause I don't know any and believe me my network includes people from all corners.

If you mean the knee bending, rainbow wearing, face mask enthusiasts, we have some on here.

Getting back to our entertainment. The biggest disappointment with me is our TV situation comedy. It's gone, it's pathetic and it's all down to political correctness. It must be hard work now producing comedy or being a stand-up comedian. I would like someone to tell me what's wrong with, It Ain't Half Hot Mum, when every episode took the piss out of us British but the political correctness gang tell us it's racist. I give up.

To start off with some ok news, there is a relatively recent programme called 'This Country' which I thought was very good. And giving credit where it's due, as I do - from the BBC !

You will never get a programme like 'It Ain't Half Hot Mum' again. Or Rising Damp, The Goodies, Mind Your Language (no great loss), Rab C Nesbit, Men Behaving Badly and so on. Little Britain, from only 15 years ago - no chance. 

Piss taking & sarcasm is funny to the British. I think dark humour helps us cope. What I would consider to be typically British sit coms, simply wouldn't be permitted today. What I would consider to be typically British, generally.

The object isn't to entertain, anymore. The object is to spell out to you what to think, what to consider normal and acceptable, and to demonise the opposite. 

So you're stuck with punchlines which end "a bit like Boris Johnson / Nigel Farage / Donald Trump." Hilarious. 

All down to changing tastes and public demand ? What do you think. EVERYTHING is top down. We get what we're given.

It's not just British sit coms. It's everywhere, and like a scratch on your brand new car, once you've seen it, you can't stop seeing it.

It's why I'm such a bundle of joy.
