Anyone who watches these shows and finds themselves getting wound up needs to stop tbh. You're knocking years off your life with such directionless, impotent prescribed rage. But hey, maybe that's part of the agenda too... Whip all the oldies into a frenzy over benefits and immigration so that they all have strokes and heart attacks, cut the burden in the pension pot.

Which speaks volumes for the validity of his often offensive comments about the intelligence of those of us who hold a differing and qualified viewpoint because we have watched it.

I watched it and my opinion was considered childish... damned if you do and damned if you don't it seems, but that's ok I'm used to letting the majority get on with their tub-thumping.

I really was not referring to you Kizzy by that comment. I genuinely regard your posts in general now as sincere and founded on logic, even when I do not agree with your viewpoint.

Yep. I judge them for taking the precious time out of their lives to watch it in the first place. Therefore, I simply can't watch it, or my entire argument becomes invalid.

The people I judge as being right and correct are those who look at their "now and next" guide, see that crap like this is coming up next, and make a desperate scrabble for the remote to watch something more relevant. Knight Rider, perhaps, or maybe a re-run of Countdown from the mid 90's (Good old Richard and Carol!).

Failing that, if they can't find the remote, the next response should be to leave the house, go to B&Q, buy a selection of common household materials that can be used to make explosives, return home, build a bomb, and simply blow the **** out of the television.

If these are not the reactions, if the reaction is "Oh yes, that looks good, I'll watch that and fap myself senseless with rage" then oooooh yes I judge. I am quite comfortable in my judgement. My horse has been getting baked on skunk for days.

We oldies in our house are safe then..we watch it for the comedic value.
Quite entertaining with some right jokers in them.
Hardly like.y to give us heart attacks as we have actually lived in the thick of these people in years gone by.

Oh yuck, how did you manage to live in the thick of "these people"? I hope you sprayed yourself thoroughly with disinfectant afterwards, you might catch a nasty dose of their foreign, or worse, a terminal case of poor.

Yeah, living up here there are whole estates with low employment and high crime rates, just something you get used to...so no problem living amongst it, especially as most of us were in the same boat in years gone by, apart from turning to crime.
So, when I say "these people" I am not looking down on them as you appear to be implying, these people are my people, we have family on benefits (who are entitled and not fiddling).
I feel no guilt for working my way out of the poverty I found myself in, and I never felt I needed fumigating just because I was poor at the time.
