Well played - close reading reveals that you aren’t claiming this is raw, social realist, brilliant cinema; just telling people that want it to find it

Ahem. Three children by sperm producing birthing partners, if you don’t mind.

They want to contrast themselves with what they would like to portray as socialist dystopias

How can people this thick get into power? Misreading of what happened there. He’s intelligent enough to realise that a big chunk of the population will either believe it, or will adopt it as a belief even though they know it’s bollocks, because it suits them to pretend that the issue is bigger than...

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/mar/27/harry-redknapp-appears-to-make-nazi-salute-after-calling-thomas-tuchel-german-spy Can't even accuse random Germans of being Nazis any more, these days. Redknapp’s obviously a massive bellend but I think the guardian needs to not use (as it does in th...

I actually know someone currently doing time for their - alleged - part in a JSO protest. Huge amount of respect for them. No idea why they've made this decision now, but perhaps the way the laws and courts are stamping down on people's previously hard won right to protest means there's just too mu...

They stopped oil?

I was talking to my next door neighbour, he’s a funny sort, likes rescuing people. Anyway, got talking to him yesterday and on top of his taxes that he owes, he pays the government an extra £2,600 a month, and specifically says “please allocate this money to recovering/relapsing (delete as appropria...

Go on, tell us who she supports, you develop that character!!

George mate Im sorry for asking something so cretinous but can you just clear up how old the daughter was when the parents bought her the house outright, whether they did so before alcohol addiction emerged, whether they did so before she had kids (or how many she had when they bought it for her) a...

Maybe her parents rent the house to her, pocketing all that lovely housing benefit? Only thing against that is that George M has been at pains to demonstrate that the girls parents are in despair. If these real parents were real, and were renting it out, these parents would be rubbing their hands i...

I thought it was her parents you were in contact with?

I’m not talking about the national issue. I’m saying that you are clearly lying.

“For the sake of this discussion, I’m not going to discuss this” is definitely one way to make yourself credible

Did they buy the house for her outright before the kids were born? Bit weird to start a lifetime secure in the knowledge that whatever happens, you have a home, by having three babies by three fathers. Almost unprecedented, I would say. At best, it’s a situation so utterly unique that this story if ...

“Her parents could afford to keep her but don’t” Interesting that they disclosed this. Out of interest, these friends of yours, do they have similar values to you? (Usually important with friends) Did they say “ha, our daughter, she’s had a right touch - gets £2k a month in benefits. Yeah, yeah it’s...

Also very handy of her to have three kids by three fathers. Aside from the handy alliteration, she’s conveniently spread the kids among partners the exact right amount to seem careless while still just about plausible. Three kids by two partners? That’s just not feasible for message board point maki...

It’s very lucky that George M knows someone where 1: her parents are wealthy enough to buy her a house outright 2: despite this wealthy background, she has been diagnosed with alcohol addiction and her wealthy parents, unable to provide a support network instead reveal this to neighbours 3: that thi...

She receives £2000 a month does she? That’s great that is. I’m assuming she lives in a house with a fully paid up mortgage and gets all £2000 for herself right?

Why do people keep going along with the idea that making poor people poorer is in any way a “tough decision” for the people who nevertheless always find the courage to make such cuts happen?

Clearly you never played champ man 01/02

I mean, not to keep banging that drum but there was a time when criticising Jack Monroe had one marker out as a far right troll.

This is so f*cking predictable. Every single time someone even the teensiest little bit slightly left of centre, not towing the Established line, picks up a little bit of support, then boom. In they come. :( Maybe the problem is with immediately adopting people who are “a teensy bit left of centre”...

Based on what you’ve written here faldO, it simply gave you answers tailored to what you might find interesting based on your phrasing. It doesn’t assess evidence for or against, it doesn’t look at what’s reliable. It just generates text based on the probability that it will function as a relevant c...
