Yes, but ultimately centrists cosplaying as "sane leftists" are the ones who do many of their biddings. Sometimes actual leftists too, because "this kink is problematic", "women are regularly forced into sex work", etc.
It pays for quality BBC programming. BBC News is horrible, but BBC dramas, documentaries, and kids shows are top-tier and I'd happily pay for that, license or tax or otherwise
BBC news would be fine if they just fired some of the presenters who are obviously biased. Maybe now the Tory plant what's his face has gone (although ironically not for the reasons he should have been fired) BBC news might get better.
It's better thought of as a tax that funds the BBC, but it can't be called a tax because it's not run by the government.
It's an outdated idea though that doesn't make any sense in this era because it means that technically if you want to watch any live TV at all then you have to pay the BBC money even if you don't watch anything by them.
Or you could just not answer the door in the extremely rare case that any enforcement officers actually come around and instead watch TV for free.
The only thing to make it better would be to change it to "die thankful, to the terrorists for freeing me of this place" or for the last line, "maybe if they hated it here enough to go on living out of spite instead of blowing themselves up, we could accept them as fellow Britons."
this has confirmed my beliefs that people on greentext are insane and that I have finally found peopel who I can relate to and I feel like I belong ( n 3 n )

Only towards the end. The porn laws in the UK are a bit crazy

Yes, and "leftist" governments die on the hill to defend them, so they won't be the pervert party or the real misogynists.

Any examples of "leftist" governments dying on that hill?

Labour, hence the quotation marks

You don't see this as a push from largely christian conservative groups?

It still sounds largely like a problem of a conservative agenda creeping into mainstream

It’s even crazier to watch tv you have to have a license.. I never knew that. But it’s like paying your non-over the air tv bill.

It's for sure made by one of them without even the slightest irony that those "freedoms" are being stolen by them

I worked at a leather shop that sold what we call “Fanny packs “ I knew to call them waist bags to British people.
I bet this was written by an American.
WALLACE@feddit.uk · 3 pts · 271d
In the UK we call them Bum bags (butt bags)
Aeao@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 271d
A lot of guys are wearing them across their chest now. Like a cross body.
We all might have to rename them soon

Or is that a joke/meme I don't know ?
Scubus@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 272d
Yeah, ops picture looks more like a young mr beast. For the record, i have facial recognition issues and barely know what mr beast looks like.
Keanu is universally recognizable though

i personally know at least one person who looks like a 19 year old Keanu Reeves, so this may be more common than we think
