  • And this is another reason I don’t go into mosh pits anymore. Imagine being slightly below average height, crushed against six foot something sweaty shirtless hairy men so large that when they take one step towards you they pull in ten other gig goers by their gravitational pull. You feel like a match stick in a sea of organic goo and sweat. Yes you can almost touch your rock idols, but most of the time you’re touching blubber. Now add the musk of warm piss into that mix.

    No thanks 👍.






  • Would you fly thousands of miles to do business in Rwanda and enjoy a F1 weekend?

    Why does F1 weekends have to do with business? We’ve been to about half a dozen races and not had to carry a laptop to any of them. We just, you know, enjoyed the racing 🤷. And the race hasn’t even started yet but you’re writing it off, what’s with that? Even if you did go for business, surely is highly dependent on the business in question? Are you speaking for all businesses when you say they won’t go?

    Is Rwanda better served spending all that money on something else like it’s people?

    That’s up to them, not a random internet commentator. 🫠🤣

    But why set up a party about somewhere that’s not even in the UK and that the UK has no control over?

    Because this is a subject they are passionate about and feel parliament in the UK can do something about. Whether that’s formal recognition, diplomatic pressure on other countries, or aid. That’s hardly “no control”.

    Climate change is (largely) not in the UK but affects our global population but there’s a party specifically set up to care about it. The UK has limited means to solve climate change but it has some influence.

    The fact these people won seats because Muslims care more about somewhere they’ve never even been to, rather than their home is bizarre.

    That’s generally how voting works. A candidate picks a subject they wish to run on and people who are interested in that subject vote for them. It is that simple. That that the subject is one away from home isn’t relevant, surely. The Ukraine war is away from home but if some people wanted to form a specific party to pressure for better outcomes for the people of Ukraine and they got elected would that be an issue for you?

    And again, we live in a country where it is perfectly allowable and right for a comical bin faced clown to stand for parliament or a bunch of monster raving loonies. If people want to vote for them, that’s cool. And if enough people want to vote for them such that they get elected that’s also cool. You shouldn’t police who people want to vote for or what people want to run for (as long as it’s not doing anyone else harm of course).
