  11. While I get the sentiment and agree with it to an extent, I reckon they'd be better off kept in their cell. Child killers don't get an easy time inside.
  12. It makes no difference. He won't last long in jail.
  13. Why do you call him 'The Donald'? It's canny odd. Politicians should be referred to by their surname, it's not like they have any idea who you are.

  16. Andrews Cervino for heavy work. Salewa Rapace (No cut protection) for lighter work.
  17. Blind ignorance is on the increase. I too was brought up in that golden age. Have a good one.
  18. "Of an age"? FFS man, you're not even 45. Get a grip, get out of yer wellies and see the world.
  19. I get what you're saying, I think the 'neo' bit is to point out that those ****************wit practises such as feudalism and Nazism were supposed to be consigned to history, yet they have reared their ugly heads again in a new form.
  20. Neo-feudalism refers to a theorized contemporary rebirth of policies and social structures reminiscent of medieval feudal societies. This concept describes emerging socioeconomic trends that are creating a more hierarchical society with greater concentration of wealth and power. Key Features of Neo-Feudalism Concentration of Wealth and Power: A small elite class, often compared to medieval aristocracy, controls a disproportionate amount of wealth and resources . Declining Middle Class: The middle class, which expanded greatly in the 20th century, is shrinking as economic mobility decreases . Growing Lower Class: An expanding property-less population, likened to medieval serfs, struggles with job insecurity and limited economic prospects . Tech Oligarchy: Large technology companies wield unprecedented power and control over information, acting as new "lords" of the digital realm . Clerisy: A professional-managerial elite that dominates academia, media, and culture, comparable to the clergy in feudal times . Parcellized Sovereignty: Political and economic power become increasingly fragmented and localized, with corporations sometimes wielding state-like authority . Manifestations in Modern Society Neo-feudalism is said to manifest in various ways: Gig Economy: Workers in precarious employment situations, dependent on platforms like Uber or Airbnb, are compared to serfs . Data as Resource: Tech companies extract value from user data, treating it as a natural resource to be exploited . Surveillance Capitalism: Large tech firms cooperate with governments, sharing information in ways reminiscent of feudal lords serving kings . Debt Peonage: Increasing personal debt levels create a form of economic servitude . Urban-Rural Divide: Growing disparities between prosperous urban centers and struggling rural areas mirror feudal divisions . It's important to note that neo-feudalism is a theoretical concept and subject to debate. Critics argue that it oversimplifies complex modern economic systems. However, proponents believe it provides a useful framework for understanding growing inequality and power concentration in contemporary society. Fill yer boots Gareth. .
  21. We'll have to agree to disagree on the neo-feudalism in action. Aye, hard work does pay off.
  22. I didn't like fascist ideology well before I went to school. That wall of meters is a fair bit to keep an eye on. It's a good job that you have, I wouldn't get on with the strip lighting. Nice mug also.
  23. Utter shite. Elon Musk gives ketamine a bad name.
