There was a thing going around yesterday on Twitter from America where they were asking youngish women, supposedly feminists, whether they thought that women's rights were better in Iran or in America.
And without question, they all thought Iran.
I mean, I used to say when I was doing the old talk sports show that I think that the world is actually evolving in reverse and people are getting stupider instead of getting more intelligent and more kind of sophisticated.
People are just really stupid and thick because they're driven.
There's an old George Carlin clip, which you've probably seen, where he says if you're driven, if you identify yourself by an ideology, then you've already lost the plot because you're no longer actually being true people.
to your own self you don't really have any beliefs you just kind of have read some and you think oh that's good because all my friends agree with that so i'll just say that and there's a bit of that in the media i think that's again yeah where you get um
You know, I would go on the radio and piss all over the Times front page because they were talking about some kind of clean air campaign, you know, which everybody knows is a complete con, right?
And I would say so.
And, you know, that didn't make me very popular in the Times building, you know, and people didn't like it.
But I was like, I'm not going to be part of this media conglomerate where everybody's supposed to think the same thing.
Obviously, you're not going to be really awkward about it and start, you know, dissing the products and all of that.
Yeah.
But yet, so many politicians, like Douglas Alexander, who was on with you, are still clinging to it, like it's some kind of wreckage going over a cliff.
And they're kind of going, yeah, but this is what we have to do.
Because everybody knows.
I mean, I was listening to, because of the time I get up now, you're like this, farmers, farming today,
because it's probably better than Times Radio that time in the morning.
But they had some woman on talking about how there's a problem with raspberries and strawberries.
And she said, you know, obviously the thing that's most important is we have to know what the carbon footprint is.
of growing fruit in this country.
