Brilliant TV Rant
- Thread starter DRD
- Start date
I spent 5 years of my life reading Politics and Economics through A levels and my Undergrad - I have never been more disenchanted with global politics than right now...
We truly live in a world of Punch and Judy politics - this and PMQ’s are a bloody joke

Are we supposed to watch from 31 minutes onwards? It's the whole Question TIme episode
Two minutes or so
It's the internet. Everything is reduced to a soundbite, or instagram pic. I don't think that the world is worse now than in any other recent decade. But we are under a 24x7 barrage of Mob driven media.
In the old days you had to buy a paper. Or turn on the telly/ radio. It is now in your pocket. Vibrating and beeping away all day. Algorithms constantly filtering the soup and bombarding you with the same slanted, biased content.

its not the internet! We just haven't educated people to make sure they have a view. Part of me hopes labour are elected so that those who are crazy enough to vote for them get what they deserve.
The trouble is short termism, policies are proposed to get votes rather than because it's what the country needs. Companies make desicions based on the next dividend payment rather than long term sustainability. Why? because they have no accountability! When has a politician ever been held accountable for failed promises? (Let alone bare faced lies). When Fred the shread screwd over everyones pension, he only got half a mil a year for life (tax free and indexed linked) instead of 3/4 mil, i bet he's crying into his silver spoon about it.

Agree on accountability - but if you think Fred the shreads board didn’t know... hmm!
