Yes, that's what I mean by toxic people turning it bad.

What's for breakfast?

Haha lol no we've got no influence any more. We're just a wet little island covered with transphobes. Give us 20 years to rejoin the EU, if it survives that long, and maybe you'll start hearing from us again.

Jesus Christ that's 13 seats for Farage. I expect he'll lose a few over the term to scandal, but that is far too many.

Honestly I'd settle for a slight deceleration in things getting worse. Starmer wants to restore hope and faith in politics. He's got his work cut out for him.

He just needs to keep his yap shut for one more day and he can start fixing things. And our absence in the EU is something that needs to be fixed.

If I dressed like that, I would not look gay at all. I would look EVEN MORE like a dad.

You are. I wouldn't want to make you have to look at that.

Britain is still here. It's not too late to surrender.

Updated advice. It's a long shot, but it's worth trying to force the Tories into third place. Share with your local friends.

Edit: I don't have any answers. I stole it from https://feddit.uk/c/okmatewanker because I thought it deserved a bigger audience.

I'm a bit late to the party here because I haven't needed Postman for a while, but how is it okay that now we have to LOG IN TO POSTMAN and send our API requests to them for them to store on their own cloud?

It's never a "no" though, is it?

Thanks to the glorious shovelling of Classic Who onto BBC IPlayer, I have been enjoying a glut of mid-80s classic Who.

It struck me how many of the CBaker-McCoy era stories are dystopian tales, reflecting the pro-establishment neo-captialist society that the writers felt was being inflicted on them.

Varos, Paradise Towers and Terra Alpha (of Happiness Patrol) are obvious examples; Necros (Revelation of the Daleks) and is a particularly nasty one. Even Trial of a Timelord was, at its heart, a tale of authoritarianism and narrative control.

Modern Britain is clearly in another phase like the 80s. If anything, the authoritarianism is more extreme, and the government's avarice more naked.

So where are the writers' reactions to that nowadays? Whenever the show has recently attempted to address societal issues, it has been either a direct sermon like Orphan 55 or an incompetent muddle like Kerblam.

Where are the dystopias?
