Re: In todays news...

It is normal within the education system and for children. It's not the majority, but it is normal. Schools have policies in place and staff with responsibilities to ensure anyone expressing opinions against minority groups are dealt with appropriately. This is good practice and the law. Some old m...

Re: Go woke, or go broke...

Yeah my "analysis" is based on hope more than it is any clue about how these markets work. I hope Tata get their arse handed to them on a plate, ruining my fondness for the brand formerly known as Jaguar. But that just goes to show my prejudice towards that sort of inane woke bollocks so m...

Re: My tablet thinks it's in the USA

Don't be so quick to dismiss network/router issue. You may have a different connection using the tablet than the other devices on the same network. My ISP is Starlink, there's not much you can do with the router. My internet facing IP address is a regional Spanish one, nothing funny there either. T...

South Korea's parliament votes against martial law.
South Korea's president cancels martial law.
I think that suns it up.

Quite a relief to wake up to that news.

It's not entirely dissimilar to babies and or the very young being indoctrinated into a religion or faith that comes with all the associated baggage of guilt and oppression before they're barely house trained. They're children. Not Christian, Muslim, Jewish etc. How can they possibly make informed ...

Re: Go woke, or go broke...

My quick straw poll of EV and Jag owners (my family :lol: ). Well that is entirely subjective and while I think it looks shit, that's in comparison with most if not all of the cars that Jaguar have previously designed. I would of course jump at the chance to own one which is just about as likely as...

Re: Go woke, or go broke...

The next part of your post is irrelevant, that's why I didn't include it. In fact, if you did want to try and pin anything about TATA's share price on this rebrand you'd have to say it's been a success, 'cause the share price has gone UP since this ad and car were revealed :obscene-birdiedoublered:...

Re: Go woke, or go broke...

All the gammons frothing at the mouth are helping the JaGuar cause no end - they're keeping the Big Cat in the headlines and for all the right reasons - controversial, mega-expensive new car in the pipeline. They (the gammons) have been played and they just can't see it. Yeah, just like Dillon Mulv...

Re: Go woke, or go broke...

Their shareholders may disagree having seen a 30% drop since August. The 'woke' advert dropped in late November. Jaguar announced earlier this year they're not making and selling cars any more. Which do you think has had a bigger impact on the share price* since August? :think: * and as above Jagua...

Re: Go woke, or go broke...

It may be several things, but so far "spectacularly unsuccessful" is not one of them. Jaguar are headline news (and not cause they're sex pests!), which is hard to beat so far as advertising goes. Their shareholders may disagree having seen a 30% drop since August. Difficult to pin Tata w...

Re: This time next year, President Trump moves back into the Whitehouse...

I'd say he ran for President partly because he wanted to be Top Dog in the world's biggest economy, but also because it gives him nearly limitless opportunities for grift, embezzlement and general full-on feathering of his own nest. He also gets to shut down all the legal challenges to him and rub ...

Re: Go woke, or go broke...

The car is not aimed at me, neither is the spectacularly unsuccessful advertising campaign so I have to accept my opinion is meaningless.

It does look shit though.

Re: This time next year, President Trump moves back into the Whitehouse...

Whereas I think Trump became president so he could be the most winningest winner, the biggest winner who ever winned. I don't think he gives the tiniest shit about America or it's population. :lol: I half agree. Yes he has the chutzpah to want to be the best at everything and remembered as one of t...

Re: This time next year, President Trump moves back into the Whitehouse...

Whereas I truly believe Trump is the best thing that has happened to humanity since technology accelerated and amplified capitalist power leading to the agonising inevitability of an Orwellian dystopia as imagined in "Nineteen Eighty Four". He is so far as I can tell, along with his extrao...
