alistair It’s usually because Labour shoot themselves with internecine conflict (the later Blair-Brown years), or simply crap leadership e.g. Michael Foot, Corbyn.

Corbyn was quite interesting in a nostalgic kind of way, the political equivalent of seeing a Morris Minor on the roads in 2020, you think “oh, look at that, isn’t it interesting? I wouldn’t want one, mind” and then most of the country ended up plumping for the Alfa Romeo which is also crap and forever breaking down, but at least looked modern and promised a lot.

Congrats UK, Qanon has landed on your shores too.

    Homegrove The mindless chatter of a meth head who’s just watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?

    Smallman1 This is a question like ‘what is house music?’, you can’t expect someone to bother to explain it and fill in all the details for you, unless anyone here likes typing essays.

    One for you to research if you don’t know already.

    Smallman, whenever I start to like it you fuck it up by asking a stupid fucking question.

    Much like Rhouses.

    QAnon is a far-right conspiracy theory alleging that a cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles running a global child sex-trafficking ring is plotting against President Donald Trump, who is battling them, leading to a “day of reckoning” involving the mass arrest of journalists and politicians. No part of the theory is based on fact.

      9-11 truthers, anti-vaxxers, chem-trailers.

      Amazing that we have the totality of human knowledge in our literal palms with iPhones yet we still manage to be relentlessly stupid.

      We are fucked.

      Oh! I always forget about the chem trails lot, the feel a bit ‘yesterdays conspiracy’ now compared to current events.

        There absolutely are global sex trafficking rings - whether they have anything to do with Satanism, Trump being a super hero and other various translations of Qanon is beyond me. (They don’t).

        I’ve never heard of chemtrailers before and just looked it up. LOL, what a fucking bunch of thickets

        I had a friend who was actually very accomplished. He was a guest “life coach” on that show “Queer Eye For The Straight Guy” (which was a big tv show at the time). I think he thought that would propel his life forward into something. But it never quite happened. And I think it crushed him. He’s now gone off the deep end; claiming he’s seen planes with chemicals spraying stuff onto the masses. He’s also now organizing anti-mask rallies; speaking out against vaccines. He’s really lost his marbles. Shame, as he’s very charismatic and has a good heart. Just let his demons get the best of him. We obviously don’t chat anymore.

          Yeah I’ve a couple of mates back home that spend all day on FB. I get the odd meme sent to me, you know the ones, sometimes they have Bill Gates, sometimes lines like “WAKE UP” and various others including debunked pics of pumping stations on airplanes. Some people and the Internet aren’t a good mix. “I remember when I was a kid and there were no trails in the sky, EVER.”
          You spent all day washing mud off your face and pretending you were the Ultimate Warrior you stupid bastard. When did you ever look at the sky?

          Never knew Flarsey had been on Queer Eye as well as in the Inner Dojo of prog.
