descale your kettle nonnie! citric acid is the best thing for it. boil some water in a saucepan, pour that into the empty kettle and then fill it with half a box of citric acid. let it sit for at least 15 minutes and then rinse.

Why do burgers always feel the need to comment on food and say that UK has bad food? American 'cuisine' is literally the worst fucking slop I've ever had the pleasure of seeing and consuming. I have American friends and not one of them eats vegetables. Literal beige diets. They also have such poor quality of produce that UK and Europe refuses it. We aren't known for our food over here, but shit, we do good comfort food and have good quality produce. Best food I've had is from a Gastro pub in the Norf. England food bad is such a shitty meme and it's 99 percent Burgers who say it.

The Essex Gimp, also known as the Good Gimp of Essex and the Fabled Gimp of Legend, is rooted in ancient ingerlish folklore. Some say he has been wandering the land for years with his Gimplings in tow, spreading cheer and good fortune to those who may encounter him.

According to recent lore, the Good Gimp of Essex has denounced his evil brother, the Sinister Summerset Gimp. There are rumours that the two brothers engaged in a vicious clash that tore through the english countrysides, and many of the Good Gimp's Gimplings were injured and faced huge casualites.

Today I will tell the tale of how the Good Gimp of Essex and the Sinister Summerset Gimp came to be.
Long ago, in the early age of Ingerlandia, there lived two humble peasant brothers known as Gimpleton and Gimpledung. They were close as brothers, and enjoyed their simple poorfag life, but knew nothing of the land beyond their little village - this is because the Arriva buses there were fucking shite and cost £7 for a single and they couldn't leave the village, but anyway.
One day, the Gimpson brothers came across a large tree bearing shiny succulent black fruit - this was unlike anything the brothers had seen before, and they were mesmerised by it! Gimpleton was wary, but Gimpledung immediately reached out to grab a piece of the fruit and scranned that shit like no tomorrow. "That was mint" He exclaimed upon eating the delicious fruit. Gimpleton thought nothing of this, and also scranned a fruit from the tree.
What these simple brothers didn't know however, was that this fruit was a very magical fruit indeed. Each piece of fruit had the opportunity to turn you into a Saintly Gimp or an Evil Gimp, and you couldn't choose.
Suddenly, Gimpledung attacked his own brother, and a long and deadly fight ensued until Gimpleton was forced to flee. When he returned to his village, he noticed that the village had also been cursed by the tainted fruit, and every other poorfag peasant was turned into a likeness of Gimpledung. Fearing for his life, Gimpleton fled to the blessed lands of Essexodar to live his new life in secret.
In the meantime, Gimpledung had wrought fury and despair upon the lands of Somerset, and you can tell because Yeovil is still a shithole to this day. He ruled over the kingdom of Somerset with a malevolent latex fist, turning it into a land of hopelessness, desperation and people with weird accents.
So it was that these two brothers were named The Good Gimp of Essex and the Sinister Summerset Gimp.

agree on the produce, which usually looks like it's rotting, but their clubcard deals are really good for stocking up on cupboard stuff. plus the 24 hour ones are useful for nightowls like me. i used to live opposite a 24 hour asda too and did my shopping at 2am. nice and quiet.

Co op often comes out as the most expensive in price comparisons, yeah. It’s the only supermarket in my town though. I kick myself when I forget something at big Tesco and have to get it from Co Op for up to 2-3x the price.

I would do the main shop at Aldi or Lidl if I had one local to me. Low prices, quality is the same as other supermarkets, can buy random shit from the middle.

I'm visiting my parents in Scotland for Christmas and just want some tips.
1. The house will most likely be freezing due to the energy bills, I prefer it toasty and I usually struggle when I visit and TBH it keeps me out of the house more than anything. Any tips on staying warm?
2. I want to eat a lot of UK food, I've only got 7 days but I'm bringing fibre sachets and want to make the best of it. So, is there anything new/interesting at Greggs and Wetherspoons? And anywhere else. I haven't been since last Christmas. Last time I had the halloumi fries and they were amazing. I'm going to get a munchy box, chippy and Chinese at LEAST but I think the British are quite innovative with their junk food so maybe there's something I don't want to miss.
Thirdly is there anything else that's significantly changed in the past year?

My contribution is baby Gromit.

get yourself some thermals or an oodie (or a fake version. oodies are overpriced, i got one as a gift.) i can't afford heating so i just stay layered, fluffy socks help. if you're there a while you could invest in a heated blanket for sleeping. they cost practically nothing to run, but cost like £30 upwards for upfront costs.

No. 1437910

>>1437885
other than the suggestions for thermals, layers, hot water bottles etc. i recommend a large thermos flask so you have constantly warm drinks to hand, just keep topping up. instead of frequently turning the kettle for your tea to only turn cold after a couple of minutes.
also, not the kind of suggestion people enjoy, but random spurts of aerobic activity like dancing or jumping jacks, really does help. as does spicy food (but NOT before the jumping jacks. careful now.)

No worries nona. It's weird how they managed to buy out so many existing stores. Me and my friends used to joke that Morrisons was a fascist store because we found the logo design really brutal (before it got re-designed into something softer - pic related) and seemed to suddenly take over lot's of pre-existing supermarkets. Like an invasion. I've never forgiven it.

>>1438995
Sainsburys is comfy, if you happen to have a decent local store. And their produce is usually decent, compared to all the others.

I'm glad some of you are actually interested in talking about supermarkets. I have a strange obsession with them and understandably most people I know aren't interested. I usually spend a couple of hours in supermarkets, slowly wandering around, looking at everything, like a retard (only if it's quiet) and have to go alone because I will drive other people insane with how long I take.

Imo, Prime Suspect is still top-tier. I absolutely admire Helen Mirren's character and her story arc. Everything else is so immaculately and talented done, too. Even the background characters are interesting to watch. I think the second season and the first episode of the forth have are the most exciting and moving in terms of the plot and issues concerned.

We are only offered foreign language classes starting from age 11 where the little kids begin secondary education. I’m 25 and it was compulsory to do one (and only one) other language on the curriculum at the time but apparently they’ve scrapped that recently due to a shortage of teachers and funding. I might be wrong on this. Imo starting a language at 11 is way too late, I was a straight A student in French but can’t really string a sentence off the top of my head now whereas it seems like all the other Euros who learn English from when they’re 5-6 are basically fluent and can hold a conversation with me online even if they’ve never left their countries. English being the lingua franca is a blessing and a curse but the people in education who could stand to make it better don’t even try.

Secondary school for most. Age 11+. It varies. In my area, French and German once a week, until aged 14. Then you can drop. Majority do. German has always been very unpopular.

Fellow bongs, I need a fact check. I know a moid who said ‘scrote’ a few times in previous conversations. He thinks I thought it was a funny word because I did a confused laugh and asked him where he got that word from, he explained “it’s a northern thing”. I thought scrote was a pretty British word to begin with because we have so many words for balls and saying it in a US accent sounds wrong, then I joined this place for years, now I’m surprised to hear him say it. There’s 0 chance he knows about LC and is fucking with me, it’s pretty ironic he implied it’s just what lads say when we banter. Does this mean we can get away with calling men scrotes irl?

Is political discussion allowed? I'm just wondering how is everyone planning to vote whenever the next general election comes around. Are we going to finally get the Torys out? For Labour voters, are you still willing to vote for the party even when half of them can't give a straight answer to the question 'what is a woman'?

No. 1451308

I want the Tories out and I used to be a Labour voter but now I find myself genuinely politically homeless. Labour are tranny-pandering spineless arsewipes who don't really have an ounce of genuine leftism in them anymore and Tories are happy to see electric bills rise to £500 a month and do fuck all about it. I really don't know what to do about voting.
I think I'll end up voting Labour regardless honestly but then I just fear for the outcome of women. There's only one good point for Tories and it's that they're not shilling for trannies (as much, anyway) but I come from a part of the country that was decimated by Conservatives so I can't bring it in me to ever vote for them. They've made it clear they dgaf about the working class.

I feel the same, the absolute state the tories have left us in blows my mind. Completely in the same boat, politically homeless, no one represents my interests right now as working class woman in a minimum wage service job. I feel powerless, as dramatic as that sounds lol. I've always voted Labour but this time I feel so conflicted, it should be an obvious choice when you see what the conservatives have done to the country but then I see the hate Labour women who speak out about trans issues face and I lose what little faith I have in Labour, they're slowly erasing women's voices and our rights. In my opinion though, I think it's only a matter of time before all of the bullshit of the trans movement begins seeing the light of day among everyday people. There are only going to be more and more detransitioners, more of them will attempt to sue the NHS too. More and more public figures are coming out in quiet support of JK too. I worry it'll get worse before it gets better but I know we can't go down this clown route indefinitely. In the meantime… we're stuck between a rock and a hard place it feels.

I keep going back and forth on this. If it felt like Labour would actually make significant social + environmental improvements then it would be a lot clearer.

Also, in terms of thinking of voting with the most vulnerable in mind… I do think this gender shit has and will continue to have more of a negative impact on vulnerable children and women. More than half the population but particularly the women at the bottom, who don't have cushty lives where they can identify as whatever they want. The real world knows what a woman is.

Saying that, despite the Tories hating trannies, it does not stop the harmful effects of gender ideology. The NHS still allows men into female wards, universities still allow men into women's toilets, rape shelters (except for Beira's) allow men. So even if there are laws that supposedly protect us, they're not being put into action. So is there even a point?

And we know they hate women just as much. Our health secretary is anti-abortion, is another thing to keep in mind.

This is like a 20 day old post but I was thinking about this while I was home in the UK for Christmas. Food quality in the US is noticeably different when you buy it cheap, but you can find some of the best food there too. Mexican food is unlike anything we have here, you can buy freshly made tamales there and sweet bread. You can also find super authentic, cheap and healthy Korean food unlike here where you'd probably need to go to London for it. Clam chowder from Washington and cheese from the mid West is fantastic. San Francisco is known for its sour dough bread. It's like how people kind of bash the UK for toad in the hole, when in reality we have some really great food. Don't be afraid to try the food in the US because you can find some really good stuff.

The thing about Tories is they might hate trannies but they don't care about women's rights. And many tories are in favour of self ID (like theresa may, fabricant etc.) so we could see a turnaround at some point.

And even if we don't have the self ID laws, it isn't making much difference. Like I said here before - NHS still allow men into women-only wards, men are still allowed into women's rape shelters and support groups, men are still in women's sports. Many of these cases are based on self ID but go unchallenged because of the current climate and the trans-inclusive training forced into these institutions. Protection for women is never on their minds. Any 'win' we have against the gender shit is just because Tories hate anything related to LGBTQ+.

Thanks for the replies, I think I've kind of calmed down now. We agreed to spend the same amount and pick our main presents. I wanted him to pick out things he really wanted and I spent around £200 on his gifts (main one being something he chose) and when I told him what I wanted he got me something else that was worth a lot less. I just wish he had told me rather than wait for the day because I asked for something I need for university.

yes, but british christmases have nothing on american christmases when it comes down to it. i live in france now, and like you said, in europe you can detach yourself from the holidays and pretend it isn't happening, which is what i ended up doing. but in the states it is so hard to detach from the holidays. there's just so much - way too much - pressure to do things. people barging in and out your house, spending thousands on food people pick over, strangers competing to see who has the best this or that, buying gifts for people or not getting gifts at all. i could go on. then they'll throw some weak christian bullshit in it to try to soften it up, like okay just because you threw the nativity on your lawn doesn't make it any better dumb dumb. my ideal christmas would be spent in the mountains until new year's far, far away from civilization, but i digress lol.

I'm English, my boyfriend is American. We started dating just before the pandemic and he was in really great shape. Pandemic happened, and he ended up working from home. He couldn't go to the gym. By the time I next saw him in late 2021 he had put on a lot of weight and he was clearly very self conscious about it. He has since only put on more weight and he is about double my size. I don't know how to politely motivate him because I am not attracted to him and I worry about his health. When he met my mum, she was egging him on to eat more and more. I know she had sweet intentions but I wanted to try and stop her because he puts on weight so easily. I think it's a British thing to just kind of gloss over it which is why I've let him get to this stage. Meanwhile his dad screams at him for getting so fat.

No. 1457563

does he want to lose weight? now is the perfect time because you can frame it as a new year's resolution. you could mention wanting to eat better in 2023 and see how he reacts to that. if he says he wants to do the same, then you can start holding him to it.
but ultimately it's his responsibility and it can't be on you to motivate him all the time, if he shows no interest or willingness. tell him you worry about his health, if it continues.

No. 1457578

He goes between wanting to lose weight and just completely giving up. He tried a no carbon, refined sugar diet a while ago which lasted about a week. He tried only eating one large meal every 24 hrs and gave up after a week. I will try and bring it up as a resolution like you said. Like you said, now is the time to set goals.

I should have explained that he's not literally obese and double my size wasn't a very good expression to use. That was my bad.

I'm not bashing the other points but aren't Natives literally evolved to store fat? Assuming he isn't 1% cherokee princess, native Americans get fatter when they're stressed.

Something that really annoys me as a Brit living in the US is the amount of us who just lie about what America is like and the Americans who idolise our country. The amount of people in the UK who believe contactless payments and bank transfers don't exist is ridiculous. A load of people also asked me what it's like having to drive everywhere, when public transport where I am is free. Driving is also super cheap, I spent about £1k learning how to drive in England. Also, I lived in the middle of piss nowhere in the UK and you needed a car to get around. Its just city dwellers who suck on GWRs cock. Also heard people say US education is "the worst in the world" when they go to Nottingham Trent. I'm pretty sure US has the highest no. Of top Unis globally.
I talked to an American who told me they were moving to Northern Ireland because of the recent ban on abortion and rising costs. When I told her that abortion was still illegal in NI and that it was the most expensive place to live in Europe, they said "it doesn't affect me".

Are you talking about universities or in general? When I see fellow Europeans shit all over US education it's based on what's taught from primary school to high school because the average American doesn't know some stuff that's taught in European schools (supposedly, the only Americans I know irl were university professors and the ones I see on TV or online are actually really stupid so I can't speak from my own observations). Anyway, the average American doesn't go to Harvard to get their degree is what I'm saying.

No. 1458549

>>1458535
Higher education typically means degree level upwards. They have a higher proportion of top universities compared to UK. So the average American is much more likely to attend a top institution than someone in UK. I think their courses tend to be much more intense too. I knew someone who did a semester abroad and they had to learn A-level higher maths in one semester. When I googled it it seems like their education system is ranked around the same as ours but it really varies in quality. There are some places with a population of like 7 so education is not going to be as great as if you live somewhere else. Geography and wealth disparity plays a huge part in their secondary level education.

that's horrifying, i'm so sorry. i've spent a lot of time in NHS hospitals (as well as working for one) due to an illness that required frequent visits for treatment and have had a 90% positive experience, except for A&E. I think when it comes to ambulances and emergency wards they are so overstretched especially. almost every month at work we are told we have reached a new 'critical incident' level. it just gets worse and worse and it makes me sad. i really don't want to switch to the US model of healthcare but that's what the tories want and they have no interest or intention in fixing the NHS.

I've tried getting medical help though a GP for my mother and her referrals never get sent off. They tell you to sit and wait when in reality noone is actually working on your case. I legit fear if I ever get into a bad accident I will have no hope of getting medical help here.

So cool to hear you're also living abroad. I do agree with you. I'm living in a pretty hippiesh city where all public transport is free. Luckily it's mostly international students on them and they have security on all the trams. I visited a border town in Texas a while ago though, and there were no pavements. To get from one shop to another you need to drive. Its somewhere you can't live with without a car so I think both extremities exist here. As for secondary education, I think some aspects of their system work better and some aspects of ours work better. Our exams are better and more rigorous. They have a lot more foreign exchange programs to learn languages which are few and far between in the uk. I also like that they can take uni credits in year 13 that's a really good idea. Universities there do have a really polished system though. It's also a lot more accessible because they have community college and a lot more online programs.

Graham Linehan, but it isn’t a secret. I assume Helen Serafonowitz (spelled like shit) also because she was married to Linehan and you probably, as a scrote, get these views about troons from the women in your life. Ricky Gervais, again, not a secret. Most UK comedians who haven’t actively taken a stand one way or another I assume are marginally anti-troon. I hope to god the guys from League of Gentlemen are.

It could go either way. It depends on the quality of courses being taught and teachers. I was never had particularly good grades for maths, it was always my weakest subject, yet I excelled at physics which makes no sense.

there is no incentive to work in the uk anymore.

i would argue that the UK is really only a good place for people who do not work, or who work part-time for low wages and qualify for low income benefits.

if you work, you're gonna be taxxed out your arse in order to support those aforementioned groups while living a very deprived sub-lifestyle, even if you have a partner to share expenses with.

in addition to this, the average professional salary in the UK does not provide adequate income to purchase a house here (avg. $400,000) however people who occupy council houses (government houses, 17% of the uk live in there) are entitled to buy that house at an enormous discount (which is paid for by working people like yours truly) through a scheme called Right to Buy, which gives them to opportunity to purchase at a large discount, which is paid for by public funds (taxpayer money).

so essentially, while professional taxpayers (doctors, teachers, nurses) on middle incomes can't afford to buy their own homes, the government has no issue with using our tax money to subsidise houses for other people who either dont work, or who work min wage jobs.
i am not trying to cast judgement on people who do not work, but i will certainly be joining the mass exodus on working people who defect to other countries with more reasonable taxes and wages.

the best strategy for brits is to get the free university training in the uk, and then get the hell out of dodge and get paid fairly for their work. and yes, you are reading this table correctly. otherwise you are stuck working for third-world wages, paying first-world housing costs, AND having an outrageous tax and council tax bill to boot.

the UK is currently having a doctor, teacher, and nurse crisis, because <shockingly> no one wants to work for monopoly money after spending 4-6 years in university, and any doctor with any sense of self-preservation fucks off to the USA with their hard earned MD.

I hate this too nonnie. I always wanted to be a research scientist, but after seeing the starting salaries at like £27000 for all those years of education i'm planning on emmigrating as soon as I finish my undergrad.

I also hate when people say that nurses shouldn't be striking because it's selfish. What would they say if the doctors could strike? All they want is to be able to live comfortably after the exhausting work they do. Especially I support the ambulance workers and 999 operators who end up with PTSD after a year on the job and are still around minimum wage. Like you said, most sensible healthcare workers fucked off to private or another country where they get paid fairly.

Nta but junior doctors took strike action years ago (and seems like they will again soon), and people just thought they were acting like brats. The average britbong is suffering from such a degree of brainrot that they cannot see a connection between their inability to get medical treatment and the political shite going on.

Regarding the Reform Party, if the polls continue this way until the next election I’d encourage anyone to vote for whoever they want. Otherwise, if you disagree with what’s currently happening, tactical voting is required. I have a lot of issues with Starmer’s Labour but I’d rather get them in than vote for a smaller party that better aligns with my views, just to see another overall Tory victory. It’s not worth it. I took comfort in the suggestion that the big parties were all centrist now, but this shitshow has firmly convinced me otherwise.

Contactless is instant. I can check my banking account and it shows the transaction has been made immediately for both my UK and US accounts. I mostly use PayPal and Venmo because for some reason my British sim card blocks me from downloading cashapp so I can't speak for that. Basically, on PayPal it puts it into your PayPal balance and then you need to withdraw it but Venmo deposits it into your bank account immediately without needing to give the other person any details besides email or phone number. As for bank transfers, it works the same as my UK one too where you put in a friends details and it shows up as deposited straight away. I think some banks prefer you do it in branch to prevent any scams (especially with older people).
I'm from the middle of nowhere Welsh countryside where one bus runs every 2 hours and there are about 2 lamposts. It's a good 30 minute drive to a Tescos. Where I am right now has free buses and trams so it's a pretty accessible city in the US. I will say though that I visited a town in Texas (that was 70% title loan businesses and 30% dollar trees) and it had no means of public transportation or even pavements. It was one of the poorest cities in America so you saw a lot of people having to walk across busy roads. Learning how to drive is much cheaper though which I think is good, I think they even offer driving Ed classes in some schools which I wish we could've done in UK. Some rural parts are absolutely impossible to navigate on foot here.

Every person who has lived in students flats before has had to deal with someone who never makes an effort to mingle or clean. For me it is some generic aliexpesthetic, pretends to be a cat girl and catfish men online. She would only come out for food. Looked in her room once when she had her shopping out. She had plates of food stacked up with fruit flies swarming around them. never does her washing up, just leaves it on the sink.

It's not acceptable behaviour anywhere, but some people in student flats will be living away from their parents for the first time and they genuinely don't realise how they need to clean up after themselves. They may realise and sort themselves out, or just continue to live in a tip, it's a gamble.

the sink thing is bad though. a lot of the students in my accommodation (all of them moids, typical) would leave the kitchen in an absolute state and people would usually leave some kind of passive aggressive notes about cleaning up after yourself. maybe try something like that if you dont want to talk to her directly, idk

On my way to the gym I walk past something resembling a homeless encampment then I go into the building and there's always one homeless person sleeping in there as it's the only building on the high street that's open 24/7 and today there was two of them. Idk how many times I've seen someone get kicked out by security in my local Sainsbury's and lately there's been crackheads coming up to me and asking for change IN the goddamn shop, something that's never happened to me before. A few weeks ago there was a rather normal, regular-looking eastern European woman outside the Sainsbury's crying and begging for food. The increase in the number of crackheads and homeless in my area over the last few months has been absolutely staggering, so much worse than even during the pandemic. Never seen anyone using out in the open before, now it's just a regular occurence to see strung out junkies in the local parks.

I live in London and it's never been a particularly glamorous area but it really feels like we're turning into the US minus the insanely good wages and huge houses.

Anyway, has anyone been noticing the same lately? Idk if it's my brain overreacting due to the constant doom mongering in the media or this country is really turning into a shithole.

I had a guy begging near my local supermarket a few months ago, saying he needs £20 per day to pay for a hotel room some charity or the council provided him. £600 per month - that's enough to rent an apartment. I guess he was lying as they usually are but I felt bad because I saw him stop a few women and they did give him money.
I used to work in the center of a big city and it made mefeel completely unfazed by any beggars. Every day at the bus stops, the same person needs 20p for their ticket to go to hospital. Same guy on the bus spinning a story how he's stranded and needs to return to Canada. I worked in a charity shop and beggars would come in and demand I give them our stock "because you're a charity! you're supposed to help me!". This was half a decade ago but it does seem worse now. I noticed beggars on the roads shaking cups at people waiting on red lights, I only saw this kind of thing in America before.

Phillip Schofield has a court injunction against uk media so that they can't report on the fact that he groomed an underage boy. Hes paying 30k a week to a crisis management team to take all mentions of this off the internet. Fair enough the media can't report on it rn but.. when you google his name it obviously comes up that phillips (policeman) brother was just found guilty of also commiting sexual crimes against a minor.. and phillip obviously wants to distance himself from that and pretend to condemn his actions

So what are the media discussing…

You are 100% right. I legit saw scrotes in datalounge crying about their favorite pornstars fucking tifs and they get mad when "straight" scrotes they want to see sleep with normal gay men, fuck TIMs because it's literally fucking a man with tits.
Gay men don't allow tifs to truly fuck up things that are theirs. It's never a big push and I bet you there's barely any tif crying to be on this show, unless it's one of those super passing Tifs using the show for other reasons or simply for representation. They barely add TIMs to dating shows that are m/f. People want to see attractive men and women compete.
Im just rambling but the more I spend time lurking gay male spaces I realize why tifs aren't successful. They are women. Men are crazy about dicks, straight or gay or bisexual.
Gay men don't need tifs to come on their show, to change the narrative or to be treated like men. The average gay man is sleeping with other men and there's no reason to even pretend. I've seen more tif/Tim relationships.

Gay men are easily the most delusional and objectifying subgroup of people. I would argue that a lot of young gay men don't want to watch shows like this anyways, but regardless the community itself is so exclusive and hostile even to its own kind that they have no trouble being far worse to tifs. The amount of gay men that are Trans inclusive to transmen is extremely small (they dont care to respect transwomen on surface level though of course), and since gay men have a penchant of becoming obsessed with policing women, being able to also police and criticize tifs is a goldmine for them, the only thing that stops them from doing it more vocally is the "cancelling" they'd receive. Gay men regularly make fun of and call tifs pooners and will have group chats where they send pics from their twitters with ewwww and keys mashes. They're so sexual constantly and objectify literally anything so the thought of other men actually liking tifs make them angry and repulsed, theyre entitled babies and there is honestly no difference from gay men and straight men as far as policing women goes. They're just as obsessed with the coom because otherwise there would be no reason to care. It's crazy how they're able to tell tifs to fuck off and call them homophobic with nearly no pushback but lesbians who do the same thing are mocked, ostracized, and threatened constantly. Rules for thee but not for me!! Gay men are obsessive compulsive about hypergrooming and standards, even many of the ugly fat ones who sit online all day, so they think they have every right to criticize and put women under a microscope constantly. They also pick all their fights with women because they're still misogynistic pigs and taking their anger out on women while being too cowardly to go after real men is standard practice. Its crazy how they'll call women Karen when they are the most Karen demographic in existence. Also any criticism of their misogyny makes you homophobic allegedly, God forbid they have to conduct themselves like adults instead of teenage girls.

Philip Schofield has just been exposed as the creepy nonce he is. He had been grooming a young male child since the age of ten to go onto have sexual relations with him. Of course, in ordinary fashion, ITV knew all about this and helped to cover it up. I knew he was a piece of shit ever since he decided to come out as gay after being married to his wife for several decades, but now it turns out that was a news story manufactured by the media conglomerates because more and more people started talking about how he openly grooms and has sexual relations with this young boy.

I feel like that was damage control, that he wouldn't have come out of his own volition. Pissed me off to see Ranj Singh complain about This Morning being toxic, though.

I’m not an emotional person whatsoever and don’t cry at anything but I can’t stop crying about the Nottingham murders. I think it’s because the kids were both the same age as me. They were literal kids, probably on a high after a night out, thinking they were safe with each other, them bam, their life just gets brutally taken away from them. It’s seriously fucking me up and I can’t stop thinking about it, they were fucking teenagers and it could’ve happened to anyone in that place at that time. They had their whole fucking lives ahead of them, like not even 4 days ago they would’ve been thinking about stuff they were going to do in the future and that’s just been fucking torn apart by a disgusting monster who didn’t deserve to be in our country. The fact that the girl saw her friend being murdered in front of her and knew what would happen next, the fact she had enough strength and willpower to crawl near a house before dying with nobody coming to help just fucks me up so so bad. I just feel absolutely distraught for their parents and siblings, I can’t even being to imagine how they are feeling right now, how they must’ve felt receiving the news, I genuinely can’t comprehend the feeling they must be experiencing and I don’t think they have fully processed what has happened yet, doing speeches so soon after the incident. It’s just made me realise how this can happen to fucking any one of us so so easily, they look so happy and young and full of life on their pictures and now they’re gone forever it just fucks me up so fucking bad god idk

Honestly, more young women should consider moving to rural small towns and villages. It's like stepping back a few decades but in a good way, it's liberal in the true sense not 'woke'. England is so packed you're almost never that far from a city for employment, fun. It's possible to have the best of both. I live a forty minutes drive away from a major city but my immediate surroundings are extremely safe, calm and cheaper. I'd say the only downside is you are car reliant, being able to run a car is a must.

We need to stop allowing moids into the country without extensive background checks. Every problem caused by immigration is specifically caused by moids that have immigrated. terrorist attacks = moids, rape gangs = moids, county lines drug trafficking = moids. They turn their own countries into shitholes, leave the women and children to come to Europe because they put up in hotels for free. Then they repeat the same behaviour. The priority should be ensuring the safety of women and children that are trying to escape war and violence.

Bullying is subjective. Every culture will have its own ideas. I don't know how you'd compare. There is no legal definition here. Schools define it loosely as intention to 'hurt'. Gossiping on your personal social media account could be considered bullying if brought to the attention of school staff. Some schools may be very strict, some not. There's a general feeling we overreact to stuff. I don't know if that's true. And yes there are loads of stereotypes about posh boy's schools but few of us, especially here, know what really goes on. I'm sure there's some individuals who physically bully ofc, but I doubt private schools turn a blind eye to or encourage it like they used to in the 70s which is where a lot of these stereotypes originate from. Today, 40% of students aren't even white. Just an example. People think 'posh white boys sent away from mother!' kek, but that is not accurate.

Cornwall and Devon are the whitest and most conservative areas of the country. I live close to the Devon county border in Somerset. In general just be respectful and if you live in a small rural town or village get involved in the local community.

I stopped drinking alcohol and the best news was non-alcoholic Guinness, it's not 100% the same and I have to import it as I'm not living in Britain, but I can't imagine missing out on Guinness. Maybe you can import it as well or annoy someone so much that they will send 100 cans of Guinness and 100 bags of Wotsits to you, kek.

Yes all men are bad but these men believe rape is their god-given right and it shows, they absolutely will rape any woman that's in a vulnerable position, also helped by the "refugee" label and "it's muh religion". Rape and death for all of them.(racebait)

I had to travel to some utter scuzzhole near where I live the other day to take a test and there were about 3 vape shops on the same tiny stretch of high street as well as numerous phone repair shops. Hardly any of them were open even though it was 11am on a chewsday. Makes perfect sense that these are the places people buy to launder the money.

How wrong and naive you are. Courts are biased towards fathers. Women everywhere are being forced to co parent with men who abuse them AND their children and men only have to breathe the words “parental alienation” to get full custody despite abuse allegations from both children and their mothers.

This is the same in America btw. The only reason fathers don’t get custody is because they can’t be bothered to take it to court. When they do, they win the vast majority of the time.

You’re misunderstanding me. Women will disbelieve their children’s allegations or overlook clear abuse from their new partners, and it leads to death sometimes. That’s a fact. I don’t know how you got THAT from what I wrote, but when a woman KNOWS her child is being abused by their partner and makes no effort to leave then yes, she is partly if not equally responsible for their death. It’s her duty as a mother to protect them and she’d rather not be alone than do that.

Both parents are responsible for their children dying, along with the person who killed them. Was there a sure fire way to know these people were child abusers? Not at first, but once the beatings and severe punishments started, then THATS it.

Sit in their front gardens drinking, are loud and shout at people for looking at them, uneducated, etc etc.

>they'll at least do something to keep the NHS afloat and won't be as blatantly retarded as the Tories
Labour has fucked up the NHS as much as the Tories. You are deluded if you think Labour would protect the NHS. The politicians of both parties are funded by the same corporate interests.

>1997 Tony Blair (New Labour) dumps Labour’s tradition of support for public service and opts for privatisation and deregulation, funding 100 new NHS hospitals with PFIs. In total, approximately £12.7 billion is borrowed, with repayments reaching over £80 billion. Even when fully repaid, the public won’t own the hospitals! PFIs enable a covert bed closure program to shrink NHS capacity, and a future land grab. As the costs of paying off debts rise, NHS trusts will be forced to sell assets.

>2000 New Labour’s NHS Plan introduces private provision of medical services into the NHS for the first time to ‘modernise’ and ‘reform’ its practices. Routine planned surgery, diagnostic tests and procedures are contracted out to private sector treatment centres at greater cost than the same care on the NHS.
>2003 New Labour allows NHS trusts to apply to become Foundation Trusts (FTs), arms-length business entities independent of government control. This further embeds commercial priorities and leadership into the system.
>2004 New Labour brings in Payment by Results. Providers are paid a fixed price per unit of completed health care. This helps the private sector to cherry-pick the easiest, most profitable treatments.
>2009 Gordon Brown (New Labour) brings in the Unsustainable Provider Regime, the framework for using the PFI hospital debt burden to close and sell off publicly-owned NHS land and property.

I need to rant about TV licensing. I haven't watched live TV for about 6 years, since I moved out of my parents. I have no interest in watching the BBC and certainly no intention to pay £150 for that shite.
Since I moved into my new place late 2021, I have received at least 20 threatening letters. At first I ignored them because I thought the old tenants probably had a license, but then found out you could declare the "no TV" thing online so I did that, but apparently it doesn't stop them being desperate to investigate you and treating you like a fucking criminal. The latest one says they are sending around enforcement officers, because apparently if you have a certain amount of warnings, you need to be investigated, regardless of whether you sign the declaration. This is based on me not responding.
Now, I'm not actually worried about anything happening because I do not watch live TV/BBC and I wouldn't let them in my home anyway. But I'm just so angry about how fucking INSANE they are to send this many threatening letters to people for simply not wanting to watch TV. Just fuck OFFFF.
Think about how stressful this is for people who are elderly or if English isn't there first language etc. And think about how much money it costs them to send these letters. Can't wait to tell whoever shows up to jog on.

I looked over the rules again and it's intentionally written to difficult to understand. Basically the license is not to watch the BBC, the license is required to own a device capable of receiving television broadcasts.

I don't pay a for TV license either but it was easy enough for me to prove as the property that I own had been abandoned for decades prior to me moving in and the aerial that was there wasn't ever upgraded to receive digital broadcasts. They still harassed me over it for while and I still get the odd letter once or twice a year.

What I would recommend doing is disabling the aerial socket if you have one. It takes a screwdriver and few minutes. It will prevent them from claiming that you are able to just plug in a coax cable to receive broadcasts. Image is what the socket will look like. There's guides on youtube on how to wire and unwire the socket. Unscrewing the cables from the poles in the socket doesn't damage anything and is completely reversible so it should be ok if you live in a rented property.

Isn’t this illegal? If they have running water they HAVE to give it to you.
They’re such wankers. They won’t even let you use the fucking toilet and there’s nowhere to go to the toilet. All the public toilets cost money. We have the same problem in Cornwall. No toilets, they cost 50p, restaurants refuse to change your money up for them unless you buy some overpriced shit, so people literally go into the beach caves and shit in there.

Cornwall is miserable now. The whole place is a building site, everyone is selling their homes and they’re being torn down and replaced with the tackiest modern homes for holiday makers and second home owners. Cafes, bars and restaurants are closed for half of the year because they only give a fuck about tourists, while claiming to hate them. When they are open they’re overpriced, pretentious, low effort and absolutely shit. Used to be so quiet in the village but now it’s drilling and hammering and sawing Monday - Friday. In multiple different places. Roads are too narrow to account for all the traffic, nowhere to park, nowhere to piss or shit, nowhere to eat, no pubs. No longer walkable or even liveable. Nobody except the filthy rich can afford to live here and realtors are just waiting with bated breath for all the old people to die.

I think the notion that men who chop their dicks off being accepted as not men is something I can get behind. the trannies already cry about truscums, make it so that it's mandatory to not have a penis to be fully trans.

To the people that love Brighton, specifically the beach, what other uk beaches have you visited? I personally don't see the hype, I visited for the first time this summer and whilst the promenade is nice with the cafes and places to pop in and grab a drink, I've been to far better beaches. It's not only the pebbles of it all, bridlington was a nicer pebble beach (way bigger, lovely parks and green space, sandy beach a few miles down the road). The coast of wales, formby, filey, scotland, cornwall are stunning areas. My theory is that the people saying brighton has the best beach are people who primarily live around london and/or haven't travelled to any other beach.

And then this one with a little girl dead up against a tree and she has blood coming out her ear and then suddenly her bones unbreak and she is dragged back into the road (like a reverse thing) and it is about how the speed limit is 30.

You can tell when a dog is being beaten by a person because their body language around that person is constantly bowed and cowering.

Dogs don’t know how to properly mask their abuse like a human child would, the concept is alien to them so they constantly communicate submission and fear to avoid an attack.

Clotted cream isn't difficult to make. Get some good quality full fat milk, place it in a shallow oven dish and bake in the oven on a very low heat for 10 - 12 hours. The only problem is that due to energy costs this might be expensive unless you have something like a Rayburn stove.

>but it makes me laugh that someone in FRANCE is saying "you don't know how good you have it" to britbongers on the subject of food kek
kek I didn't see like that. I only really know London and there are so many restaurants there I'm a bit jealous because there's so much choice, especially for Chinese food. And you have Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts too, whenever I travel abroad I actively look for them. In my city we have plenty of good restaurants but less because it's a much smaller place and some of the things I like to eat are hard to find. When I visited last year with a friend we tried that afternoon tea in a some tourist trap looking pink bus on a whim and liked it, and I loved the scones in the cafe in the White tower, but there's no good, fancy afternoon tea like in the UK where I am unless maybe I go to a very fancy 5 star hotel in Paris. If I go back to London I'll treat myself and try the afternoon tea at Fortnum and Mason.

>>1732885
>place it in a shallow oven dish and bake in the oven on a very low heat for 10 - 12 hours
I thought about it but I'm almost never at home so I wouldn't have enough time to make it myself. Someday though, maybe I'll try to stay home a whole weekend so I can turn on my oven for long enough and check from time to time if everything's fine.

see vidrel. apparently this was part of supersize vs superskinny, i thought it was from her poo-inspecting show.
how lucky we are to have been alive in both the big bum-shaming era and the small bum-shaming era!

also i loved How Clean is Your House! omg i cannot imagine the side-splitting that would have occurred if my teacher was on that show. mixed with disgust of course.

Tbh it was always in the back of my head whenever he was trying to teach us something - I'm not listening to you, you filthy bastard, you're growing mould in your teacups. He tried to defend himself by pretending it was all fake, that they used actors but obviously no-one believed him. I just googled it and apparently he was on the first ever episode, so congrats sir, you're a part of history.

I also just remembered vidrel, where they made ageing photofits of people's kids to highlight shitty parenting. They always made them really obese and chavvy. Imagine the stink if they put it on now

I remember when I had to take the bus for college and there was an old man who would always be on there and you know when you kinda get to know someone without ever talking to them properly? well he would always get on after me and when I got off, I would say "are you alright" as in "hello" and once or twice he said no and I remember being really bewildered and I had no idea what to reply??? because saying "are you alright" or "you alright" is just saying hello and I always remember this old man who told me no and I wonder if he is alive now? he always seemed sad

They look like rats. Yeah just buy up a bunch of fucking rats that could’ve gone to loving homes (they might’ve been feeder rats though, but sometimes people do rescue them), fucking paint them sloppily, and release them where they will be traumatized before being killed and stomped on. So fucking retarded. Just make a sign and do a stand-in.

You know what? I’m happy to let the rest of the world hate us and mock us, and honestly agree we deserve it. the only people I’ll retaliate against are the French, the Germans and Americans. But especially the French. My god do I despise those filthy degenerates. And don’t get me started on the Germans. They think shitting on the English for being colonisers is appropriate, it took a matter of 5 years for the entire country to be committed to carrying out a genocide. Snitching on their neighbours and relatives. They are a race of feeble minded autists that should be wiped out.
I got nothing against Americans tbh but if they give us grief I’m giving it right back to those fat cunts.

Ayrt, beyond happy for them to leave, I hope they've faced so much struggle after coming out and realising the whole of Britain hates them. Agreed Trish or Yinrun needs to win, I don't want Henry to win purely bc he doesn't need the money. Noky's grown on me especially after seeing her sister talk about her on Late & Live, she seems very kind hearted. Jordan's behaviour these past few days has just made me from loving to hating him, he seriously needs therapy or something after what he did to Henry, he's too grown to be acting like this. I didn't pay much attention to Jenkin but fucking hell has he been a nasty fucker against everyone recently, glad his birthday was ruined. Tom has needed to go since day 1 boring fucking sheep it's pathetic.
