The Voice of Reason Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 16 minutes ago, P.K. said: @The Voice of Reason Quite rightly as well. Your assertion that Matt Chorley wouldn't want to double his audience to O'Briens level was very " unclever" shall we say. Surely you agree...? I didn’t “assert” any such thing. Those are your words. I think both of them are idiots who unfortunately get well paid pandering to gullible people like yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You stated that Chorley wouldn't want to be like O'Brien when to broadcasters the size of their audience is all important. Their raison d'être if you like...

Nobody in their right mind would want to be like your hero O Brien regardless of audience size. For goodness sake,Trump has a large audience. Do you bow down before him as well?

Which is why you slated his books without even reading them! O'Brien is quite simply very good at what he does. Why don't you ring him on his show and extol everything you love about your precious brexit? You know, put your money where your mouth is? I would certainly tune in if you did. Essential listening...

RecklessAbandon Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Reform UK candidate suggested tinned food could cause gender dysphoria (msn.com) Now I'm not saying Reform is a joke party with delusions of grandeur, but they are really, really looking that way. "On his website, he wrote “How can we say with certainty that tinned food, car emissions, radio waves, food additives, mercury fillings or any other manmade influence isn’t causing an increase in gender dysphoria? “Looking in basic biological evolutionary terms, as a rule of thumb, a species normally evolves to reproduce more rather than less. Which in my overly simplified mind would indicate that gender dysphoria is a man-made condition, not an evolutionary one.”" As a general rule, if you don't understand how biological evolution works, your best bet is to consult an expert on the subject, not put your last neuron firing brain fart on the internet for all to see.

I can call you crazy if you like, but I think you've finally tumbled to it. I have the same thought every time one of you posts up these little gems with a chortle and a knowing comment about how divorced from reality they are. Call him stupid, call him brain dead, but it doesn't matter, does it? He knows his audience, and he's more interested in how it will land with them than how accurate it is. If it resulted in a seat in Parliament, it served its purpose and rewarded him amply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are saying that one of the loudest and proudest peddler of the Brexit lie was a liar and the people who bought his lies are...what exactly? As a believer of the Brexit lies, how does it feel coming to this self realisation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he didn’t actually suggest that tinned food could cause gender dysphoria, did he? He was pointing out the ridiculousness of the prevailing blame culture. Obviously it was lost on you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pointing out the ridiculousness of the prevailing blame culture. Obviously it was lost on you. There's nothing in the article to suggest that. Even when contacted for clarification ... Quote "In a statement, Mr Holland told The Telegraph: “It seems somewhat unlikely that everything that we do and have done as humans has no direct or indirect consequences.” He added: “It may well be the case that we have always had the same proportion of people with gender dysphoria and it has only been in recent years that they have felt able to express their true selves. That seems unlikely though" Which is a less stupid reason for making random claims than satirising blame culture.
