Making the news today....

[GarethM]

It's got to the point where I actively avoid the news. Usually relenting once an evening whilst eating tea or a quick skim through the news feed on your phone.

 

I wouldn't be a surprise if there is a link between the levels of depression, anxiety etc and the rise of 24/7 news and not having the common sense to just turn it off and avoid.

This and your previous post all very accurate.

 

News was much more fair and balanced when they simply reported what was happening.

 

But it now encompasses so much commentary and personal opinion that the pure factual nature of it has been diminished practically to the point of being non-existent.

I'm not sure that news has ever been 'more fair and balanced', that's not how it operates, it serves to divide and conquer us, 'opinion pieces' have been the norm for some time. 
The Daily Heil hasn't really changed its tune mind, it's as if it's owned by actual nazis.

It doesn't mention it so probably not.

Can you read?

My exit reference it is obvious sarcasm for a very depressing read, yet more doom mongering.

 

Just because the ship is sinking and I've water upto the top of my wellies doesn't mean you need to pee in them as well.

I'm the same, try and listen to it a bit but end up just getting annoyed with the idiot presenters on the radio or tv and have to switch it off.

Was telling a customer this last week and he replied

"That's like the chap who got pissed off with reading how bad smoking is for you all the time. So he stopped reading."

Makes for grim reading.

 

Everyone, everyone who is not a millionaire will be hit hard. This twat is suggesting a sliding relief scheme where those on Benefits and Pensions will be given the most relief and those on neither will get virtually nothing. Whilst I dont have a problem with the vulnerable and elderly getting assistance I balk at those on Benefits being given carte blanche to use use as much as they feel like and the tax payer who will not be able to heat their home very much will end up paying for not only for their extortionate energy bills but the lazy and feckless as well. 

 

This knobend whilst acknowledging the Energy company's are profiteering doers not suggest that the Government do something about the profiteering instead has suggested for a way for the taxpayer to directly pay the exorbitant prices the Energy Companies are demanding to them. 

 

This utter twat is suggesting stealing from the already heavily burdened, to fund those that already do not contribute to society and handing it to the rich. 

 

Its no wonder you support this though Mark as you've made it abundantly clear for years now that you're a tax dodger and pay virtually nothing in tax and laugh at those who do then tell them to get a better accountant. Your rank hypocrisy knows no bounds.
