Nowadays though, that different view is drowned out by those who cry 'foul' at any opportunity.

If I had a mind to, I could write over 100 letters a day complaining about the shite on TV, but it would still remain shite because my idea of shite is different to the sad sacks that like it and produce it.

RIP individualism :p:

It does make me laugh though, that your online persona and all your 'followers' are more important than anything else :D :p:

Yep, popularity is a close second (though I suppose they are both closely connected).

Agree with you there, why this is till in the headlines with everything else going on in the world, says a lot about our warped Country.

I'm not particularly anti royalist, got some time for the Queen and her durability. But the rest can shape up, fund themselves, or sod off. Otherwise royalty is in crisis when she finally pegs it.

I think it says more about the media and the establishment. Keep the proles talking about the irrelevant things while the important things go under the radar.
