I didn't realise when you posted this, that James Blunt actually said that

and 100% nesh if you can't sleep at 12°C

2 major banks involved is the rumour

It's the WINTER limpics the absolute pussies

Thats why Johnson is getting Sunak to own the Nat Ins increase now before it happens

Possibly ther most on-topic post in this thread for months

Hands up who thinks that Russian Oligarchs in London will be actually hit really hard as vowed by Truss? "I'm going hit a massive funding stream for the Tory Party, right where it hurts" As usual, it's just words

This came up on a playlist tonight, so this one's for all you Baxter Dury fans

And I have never seen a single person wearing them in a supermarket

No that isn't how airflow works. I said was possible, it is.

Put in the oven then

It's the best protection they are afforded, that has nothing to do with your original statements being utterly wrong

This is made up unscientific nonsense The protection from a mask is nowhere near 99% The virus is an airborne virus, someone could sneeze 15 minutes ago on the other side of a large indoor space and still infect others. This close proximity thing is rubbish

You qualify to be a Cabinet Minister, some of them had to change their underwear yesterday as they thought the same

Joni Mitchell has now asked Spotify to remove her content

I'm fairly sure it's also been proven that the symptoms of COVID appear at quite a late stage in the infection and the victim of the infection is shedding the virus long before they have symptoms

The theory being floated is that when crimes are investigated it is possible that evidence of higher crimes may emerge. The offences currently being investigated are summary offences and wouldn't go to court but it is possible that other offences may be uncovered that could go to court. The sort of example given was the MP that got three points for speeding but got his wife to take the blame. It would have been a fixed penalty but he ended up going to jail. That isn't saying that there will be higher offences uncovered but that the Police have to take into account that they may be uncovered and act accordingly at the outset of the investigation

It's deviant behaviour, he should stick to his love songs for dead horses

Nah, they are mainly "Go Team Messiah" people

Not even convinced by that, very few will pay Spotify a subscription just to listen to Rogan. Very few pay a subscription just to listen to podcasts either They can listen to Rogan without a subscription. Ads yes, subscription, no. It has to be one or the other the way the platform works. He's generating advertising for sure but nowhere near the $100 million he is paid by Spotify. Spotify's entire advertising income per year is only around $360 million but it has 172 million monthly subscribers. That advertiusing income is actually a big rise on the back of the podcasts (according to the company) and that is because the people listening to podcasts aren't subscribers

This isn't a free speech issue nor is this a cancel culture issue If Rogan was no longer tied to Spotify, his platform would still exist, he would still get his listeners elsewhere In fact there's actually an argument that Neil Young has increased the exposure of who Rogan is to sectors of the market that were previously unaware

That may be their plan and thinking but Spotify's Advertising revenue is absolutely dwarfed by it's subscription income and the subscription income is driven by music. Again, the musicians are seeing the profits they generate with little in return comparatively being used to fund podcasts and regardless of the podcasts content, that can't be right

Its not getting silly. Ignore the content for one second. He does not recoup what Spotify pay him Why should musicians fund that by being grossly underpaid by Spotify? (see above post for that reasoning) Then add the content on top of that, why should musicians fund someone promoting dangerous opinions that they don't agree with?
