The same crowd who say such things about aspiration are particularly aggrieved at the mere thought of any upstart who wasn't born into privilege having so much as a sip of fizzy wine so they can cry: Champagne Socialist!

Absolutely loved both seasons- primarily for obvious reasons- adding depth to the comedic possibilities of the genre etc- but-the whole ensemble turned in the most moving dramatic finale which totally cut through the surreality-unexpected -like a 16ep set up to a devastating emotional KO blow! BRAVO

Do you yearn?

Dude- I didn’t scream anything. Everyone is racist to some degree- the trick is to understand when one is letting their racism dictate their interpretation of facts. As for being a bigot or a cretin-I dunno- I DO love Crete- not sure how I’m a bigot though. & the term “roughly” doesn’t = exactly…

If you don’t want to appear racist, try not peddling racist ideology cloaked in dubious talking points. BTW - you called him a smart ass before he observed your racism…keep the Thatcher quotes coming though if you think that’ll help.

Ok- nevermind what might be considered observable opinions- the UK has roughly the same sqr mileage as Japan with half the population. There’s plenty of room here.

People need to see it in person.

Is there scope to do what John Ruskin did with Factory/Mill owners in the 1800s by getting some prominent multi-millionaire/billionaires to see how folk are living in the poorest areas in the country - like - on the ground - in private - not as a poverty porn channel 5 type programme?

Is anyone else tired of "leaders" who embody, but don't know what hubris is?
