Hang on, you're talking about LA and Ash, right?
I dont for a minute believe you see me as some sort of equivalence to you.
Oh I put you and Ash in the top five Awimb posters without question. I would put myself top ten, at
Blimey, I'm touched. Mind you, I've no idea why you'd rate Ash anywhere near as highly as me
Being little bit politically unengaged is NOT the same as being a cretin.
I can keep this going all day, btw.
I'm flattered you think he enjoys my posts
But would they be more politically engaged if the media were less preoccupied by identity politics,
or would they just disengage entirely?
My missus worked on a project with The Sun a while back which has resulted in them dropping their online paywall. One of their findings was that if the paper dropped their Mission Statement of “light hearted news†in favour of serious reporting, the paper would fold within a year.
I can tell you for a fact that if The Sun started reporting seriously on politics it would lose one reader instantly: my father.
Cretin, y'see.
Dont get excited, I was just being self-deprecating
It's a tactic I occasionally use to throw people off the scent of just how masive an egotistical narcisist I am.
Tell us more about your relationship with your father.
Is he the source of your twisted misanthropy, do you think?
Actually, I tend to think my attitude to people is the very opposite of misanthropy. I have high
demands and expectations of people and am disappointed when they fall below them. Equally, I have immense respect for anyone who fulfils their potential – intellectual or otherwise.
Which is why in this instance I’m disappointed in you and Jorge.
Look, imagine The Sun ran repeated stories about the iniquities of the housing crisis,
and how nurses and teachers and office workers were struggling to make ends meet, while billionaires around the world bought up property in London and left it empty as investments.
It's not hard to imagine how they could sell that story - after all it is, imo, a MASSIVE f**king scandal that a whole generation has been priced out of the property market while a tiny layer at the top get richer and richer.
Then ask WHY has this issue not been seriously addressed by the political parties? The Sun says "WHY have our leaders BETRAYED a generation?" ... and so on. There's a lot of people that could appeal to.
Do you get it now?
