“My childhood was full of it and being able to represent where I’m from is integral to me. Too often I’ll watch stuff and think they’re treating the working class like an art project. It’s very condescending. ‘Ooh, look at the poor!’ But I’m proud to be this mixed-race working-class kid from a block of flats.”
"The committee instead called on the government to hold social media companies to account more effectively."
And upset Trump? No, that won't be happening....
"Yes, we all saw Adolescence last week but please don't blame Rich people for allowing all that to happen on their products, boys need sporting role models!"
Remember, this is LABOUR trying to stop a TORY tax on the Rich.
It's about Misogyny, Patriarchy and Late Stage Capitalism robbing us all of our Humanity.
But that would mean standing up to Fascism, and neither of these Politicians here are capable of that.
See what I mean?
Bending the Knee to the regime making our boys into horrors like in Adolescence, I told you he would do nothing about that, despite his empty words. He ignore Gary Neville, he'll ignore Jess Phillips and other women MPs who get it, he'll do nothing that will upset Trump
@Daojoan with all this stuff about Adolescence Netflix going round it's nice people are finally acknowledging the danger but this has been going on since Gamergate and the Politicians have been avoiding it until now.
And I don't have any hopes for change in the UK, our Prime Minister is not an agile thinker, this wasn't on his agenda for the next five years so nothing will really be done about it.
Yeah, big effort. It's not like this came out of nowhere, it's been going on for 10+ years, but now everyone has watched a show about it, the Government has to pretend it's doing something.
Cutting back on social programs, letting the cost of living rise, bending the knee to the Fascist Trump, that sort of thing....
Even the Prime Minister saw (half) of it and shared his reaction to the show.
But that's as far as this Government will go on the issues raised, don't want to upset Trump now, do we?
"Boys need sporting role models" says the Prime Minister, missing the point.

@Jen.Henriksson the State Visit will not be retracted, even if Gilead invades Canada, No 10 is intent on this nation becoming a vassal to the States, they're even considering stopping a TORY tax on American Social Media companies, even after everyone has watched Adolescence on Netflix and wants something done about the American Manosphere being forced on our kids.
OMG, somebody in the Labour Party who actually gets it. But will the Front Bench listen?
Not if it upsets Trump....
"We need more sporting role models so boys won't grow up creepy and entitled....oh......"
According to our PM who is afraid of upsetting Gilead, all we need to stop this is 'more sporting role models'
That's the amount of effort the PM will give this pressing issue, it's not on his agenda for the next five years so nothing will be done about the poisoning of our Youth by Fascism.
"Anything but woke!"

@NorthantsGreens days after Starmer says everyone should watch Adolescence on Netflix he bends the knee to the American social media networks pushing the Manosphere on boys.
He is all mouth and no trousers
Boys like the Kid from Adolescence grow up to become abusive men who prey on others. If we do something about this toxic masculinity now, we will be saving people who would have been victims.
But it all goes out the window for a US Trade Deal, we want 'good' relations with the Rapist In Chief so there will be none of that 'woke nonsense' about Toxic Masculinity and teaching boys empathy, none of it!
I don't think this man has seen all the episodes of Adolescence, or he wouldn't be talking about "sporting role models"
If you've seen it, you'll know why that sticks out, but if like Starmer, you haven't you'd think he was making good points and had something relevant to say.
But he doesn't, he even dismisses the Sport Man's suggestion that there should be a 'Minister for Men; to deal with male mental health and toxic masculinity

D'abord le dispositif : une minisérie brittanique en 4 épisodes en plan-séquence de 50 mn. On peut aussi considérer que c'est un grand film de 3h40 (on l'a vu en une seule fois, impossible de décrocher).
Écrite, produite et interprétée par Stephen Graham (un comédien que j'adore, révélé par la série The Virtues, incroyable d'humanité au cinéma comme en série), la série raconte en 4 moments d'une heure, une enquête quasi documentaire sur un meurtre et ses conséquences sur une famille.
J'ai passé 3h40 en apnée avec les larmes aux yeux.
A voir absolument (sur Netflix).

My Ma was the sporty one, my Dad was always at work on shifts, neither of them were particularly interested in what I was interested in (Space, Cities, etc..) but according to Mr Establishment all I needed was more footy games with my Dad......
...oh my Kier, you're so insightful, 'every boy is the same' and that's not the problem, is it?
Maybe if the Parents weren't at work all the time, building your 'Growth' they might have time to bond with their children?
the kid in the show specifically was not a Sporty kid, which disappointed his dad, which the kid noticed and he spiralled into the realm of the Hate Influencers off the back of it.
But yeah "boys like Sports" don't they Keir
And if they don't, like me, then they are not 'boys' but an Other to be mocked.
Like the kid in the show.
Not a single thing has been learned, has it?
