It’s a fucking sad state of affairs, but I’m pretty much in the same position too- I can’t do owt to change it, so let it burn. The dumbing down of the general public’s political awareness and interests has been played out on social media and through something I personally despise (reality tv) for quite some time now, and it’s winning tbh. When the BBC is quoting tweets from random members of the public on its news broadcasts, you know the game is up. I had it brought home to me not long ago when an old friend from my days abroad died very unexpectedly of a heart attack, whilst out walking with his son. I was chatting to a lad who was loading my truck and it came up naturally in conversation- you’d expect him to say some kind of standard “Sorry to hear that mate…” shit, and then move the conversation on. Nope- his instant reaction, on hearing it was an unexpected heart attack, was to ask if I was on Telegram and start on about Covidiot theories. I shut the cunt down straight away, but as I thought about it afterwards it really stunned me tbh- no hesitation, no sympathy , utterly devoid of realising people might not think the same as him. He genuinely thought the right thing to do was talk about anti vax idiocy. Bloke was in his late 30s-40s. The place is fucked. But… there always hope, isn’t there? My kids, absolute products of the social media age, are both dyed-in-the-wool lefties, as are most of their peers. They’re furious that Trump, Musk, Farage, et al are driving an anti-ecological agenda when they won’t be around to live with the consequences. Social media and messaging has made it so much easier to mobilise rebellion and revolution, as has been demonstrated several times recently, so… …There’s always hope, isn’t there? * not Jamaican Rum, but French Red.

Even better value if your a lad in the 16-18 category. €59 and they’ll be up there at least four times a day.

That first non-Christmas must’ve been such a depressing day. You’ve just gathered what’s left of your 20 kids from the hovel, and walked in to the village to watch the Kings Speech on the village Oil Painting. Peasant- “ Oroight moi lovers… what time is the King on?” Landlord - “ Err, you haven’t heard… the King is dead!” Peasant - “ Oh well, we’ll just have a lumpy zoider then, and head home for Chrizmuz gruel…” Landlord- “ Christmas? Haven’t you hea… .… never mind, this one’s on the house”.

Of all the shitty things about Brexit, the one that pisses me off more than any other is that the moon-faced, pig-fucking cunt who’s weakness lead to the whole shitshow, seems to have avoided having his reputation dragged down with the clowns that followed him in to no. 10. Aaaand, the twat did the whole thing to appease the right wing of his party and stop the break up of the Tories. Went well, didn’t it David? Honestly, the fucker should have his name put in the Oxford Dictionary as the definition of “ Wrong”.
