  • There was obviously something going on. I read somewhere that there was an organised social media campaign to get them to the top but that was just a comment on here I think, but also the most plausible reason.

    The latest YouGov poll I could find put UK support for Israel at 10% yet somehow they were number one in the public votes. If you mention this in some Israeli discussion board they call you a conspiracist. I guess they’ve got a media machine over there making them think the whole world is behind them.








  • I’m from the UK and in my 40s. I got shown a video about genitalia at primary school when I was about 10. Then we got taught it several times until we left school, often about masturbation or safe sex. All from a pretty serious educational kind of perspective, not demonising it or anything. Largely saying that masturbation is normal and that you should have sex safely. I remember some weird video where they talked about masturbating by twisting your penis rather than the usual motion.




  • British TV doesn’t have too many adverts, I don’t think. At least not compared to other countries. It helps that we have the BBC because if any of the other channels push their luck they know you can just watch something on the BBC channels without any adverts at all.

    I remember being in American and watching a sitcom; they showed a 30 second intro skit and then they showed the opening credits, then went straight into the first ad break. I don’t think it went five minutes without ade.

    If you want non-American crisps KP Snacks are made by a UK company which is owned by a German company. Basically everything they make is good. I think the potatoes at least are grown in the UK.

    Crunchips are German? I’ve seen them in quite a few other countries and they’re good as well.

    I’m not against some political stuff but there’s so many circlejerk opinion pieces that get posted. It’s just a bunch of people posting stuff that confirms their own beliefs, which is no better than what happens on the likes of Xitter. It’s just a different kind of echo chamber but people are okay with it because it’s left rather than right.
