  1. The Guardian are reporting that the Met might actually have woken up to the fact that the flat refurbishment might just have been illegal
  2. I could probably name about 4 of their songs and in my head they all sound the same
  3. Another of my favourite compilations of recent times The Time and Space Machine (AKA Richard Norris) presents The Way Out Sound From In Essentially a compilation of Time and Space Machine remixes of other artists including Warpaint, Temples, Jagwar Ma and The Lucid Dream Double album, 2 tracks a side
  4. Shit Disco New Order I don't actually find them offensive but they are just a pop band, so not really my thing. See if we're talking synth driven pop music, I much prefer Depeche Mode or even Soft Cell as I think both have that darker element that appeals to me, I also much prefer the Human League and Heaven 17 But give me the PSB over a whole host of other pop acts. I doubt I'd ever buy their product though
  5. What happens at PMQs resonates with a very small minority of the electorate, most of whom are committed voters of one party of the other Keir Starmer getting harassed the other day will have far more effect on the undecided electorate than anything that happens at PMQs Whether he gets Johnson to change the best recovery mantra or not will not affect how people vote it also isn't very worthwhile as it will not attract a single column inch in a newspaper
  6. The only people removing things from Spotify are the people that made the content. That includes Rogan There is no Free Speech element to this as again, already explained
  7. Please tell me you at least said it was shit
  8. The first I heard of this film was on the BBC news today, it has apparently been nominated for lots of Pedigree Chum at Crufts or something. The radio went a bit fuzzy, I may have misheard I suspect it may Winalot
  9. The sad thing is, its not even shocking any more, it's just another white lie
  10. Levi's are possibly responsible for this by describing, for example, a pair of 501's as having a button fly when they also they also have buttons. It should be button fastenings protected by a fly But that example in itself proves that fly is a perfectly common word in the US too
  11. Did he appear to be normal to the rest of the general population?
  12. I agree but that's not really the point
  13. It's not even that. It's a business deciding whose product / opinion it wants to promote. It is nothing more than an editorial decision The whole free speech argument around this issue is rather specious I've never once seen anyone argue that Jeremy Corbyn should have a weekly column in the Daily Mail otherwise freedom of speech is eroded, that would be a little ludicrous would it not?
  14. In the UK alone, I think the number will surprise you. Anecdotally, so the obvious caveats apply, I work with at least two people who are unvaccinated and are avid listeners of Rogan's podcasts, they are the only two people unvaxxed on our floor in the office. They will also tell you the reasons why they are unvaxxed and they pretty much come out with all the same arguments you'll find said on Rogan's show. They'll also tell you that it has helped them form their opinion. There may not be many in the older generations in the UK but the younger you get, I think the number may be quite illuminating. In the USA, I imagine that number to be much higher and in much more widespread age groups Just my impression of things though
  15. Try Courtney Barnett, they also have an album they did together
  16. I think broadcasters / media platforms need to adhere to nationally set standards of truthfulness, decency and honesty. Which includes checking facts before broadcast The media should never be a free for all
  17. I think it's pretty much nailed on that it will be Rogan breaking the contract not Spotify in that instance. Spotify could sue Rogan if he jumped to Rumble for breach of contract but I doubt that would happen given that it would be Spotify's get out of jail free card
