TBH, I thought that might be what he meant...

The two far right new channels are doing well in the UK. Probably more people at the local train station than viewers.

Thought that was Catherine Tate on the right there

Didn't that con-artist who ran Fyre Festival already do this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnises

It’s the homogenous dissidence that does my head in - they all spout the same crap, post the same videos and follow the same free thinkers. They are about as dissident as fans of Coke, CR7 or the Democrats are. When was the last time any of them had a genuine thought of their own?

Wait?!? Are you saying (a highly bastardized version of) "Austrian Economics" isn't this totally unique, intellectual-sounding concept I can mention in order to sound edgy and distinctive?...instead, it's a cliched concept that's been courted by right-wing bloggers since like 2002?

Dissident isn't really the correct word because you wouldn't really be challenging the government in any way but it's not really appropriate to call it apathy because that implies you don't care.

I guess it means I've lost all faith in the "establishment", our government and the institutions. I think they all stink to high heaven and I don't believe voting red or blue or any other colour tie is going to change anything.

I don't know why this has fired so many people up. I don't know why it has encouraged people to be rude but it's clear to me, at least, that refusing to pick a side and have my cords pulled obviously rubs people up the wrong way.

I'll take monumental cryarse for 1000 Alex

Fall for what?

This is just another perfect example of woke, snowflake culture trying to take away our heritage and cancel people who just have honest pride in their country.

It’s an outrage, and the FA should hang their heads in sh….

Oh.
