The article says that he refuses to date women under 35 and I'd say its because nobody under the age of 35 watches home counties detective shows unless they're visiting the grandparents and he looks like Worzil Gummidge got kicked through a hipster barber shop.

I enjoy the one where the person who is not in a field of employment that one would typically associate with being a detective solves entirely predictable crimes presented as mysteries against some kind of bureaucracy from their superiors and occasionally with the assistance of the local constabulary.

I'm also partial to the one where the small county village has a per capita murder rate higher than El Salvador.

This deeply disturbs me: the black pudding is the best part. That said my staple breakfast is oats and coffee so maybe the celtic side coming out.

Millennial articles are the new 'X prevents cancer' articles.
In the 2000s every few weeks you would see 'X PREVENTS CANCER HOLY gently caress' articles in all the tabloids. Still do occasionally now.
From beer to chocolate, it all helped stop cancer.
Turns out the 'research' is always funded by the makers of said product. I remember Cadbury were caught doing this.

From your article, the research group is called Ginger Research.

Who funded all the X CAUSES CANCER articles?

And what kicked off the MILLENNIALS RUINING thing? There seemed to be a lull in outright generational warfare between the 'Gen X/rave generation' paranoia and this, the 'Chavs/hoodies' fear of the 00s was more explicitly class based.

Millenials will forever be the generation after the current one making up most of the media, just like boomers will forever be the generation before the one making up most of the internet. I (born 1975) have been called a millennial more than once by people on Facebook, and more than one of those have actually described themselves as boomers (and talked lovingly about National Service) despite being born in the late 60s at the very earliest.

When I specifically ask people what age they think of when they hear the word 'millenial' they almost always say 18-25. They have fixed the year 2000 in their heads as the approx birth year of Millenials.

PR firms for corps at the time. Just like this Ginger PR firm.
It was easy tabloid fodder, it easily filled up a column and would make people read them out of fear.
It was an ad pretending to be news.

I remember reading how they were caught out, can't remember where.

the paedophocracy is a term used by people who study deep state politics to describe one form of coercion and control exerted by powerful elites over their peers and society. by engaging in child abuse and protecting each other through the use of murder, threats, intimidation and media smear campaigns when these crimes are exposed, the ritualistic abuse and torture of children serves to cement the bonds of elite capitalist society and reinforce class solidarity.

Here's a nice bit of Royal-to-commoner interpretation from that article:

quote:

Line-by-line: What the Queen said and what she meant in her statement

1 'Following many months of conversations': The opening line begins with a bombshell, revealing that Harry and Meghan have been discussing their exit from royal life with the Queen and other senior royals for longer than the public expected.

The couple announced their intention to step back as senior royals on January 8. In a statement the Duke and Duchess said: 'After many months of reflection and internal discussions.'

2 'My grandson and his family': The Queen highlights her personal bond with Harry and refers to him as her 'grandson' emphasising her role as not just the monarch but also his grandmother.

The word 'family' appears four times in the statement which relates to the Royal Family and the family unit of Harry, Meghan and Archie.

3 'Much-loved members of my family': The Queen hits a personal note by emphasising how Meghan, Harry and Archie will always remain 'much-loved' members of her family.

The statement has a deeply personal tone with the use of three 'I's' and three 'my's' throughout its five paragraphs.

4 'The Commonwealth': The Queen expresses her gratitude for the work Meghan and Harry have contributed to 'the Commonwealth and beyond'. Meghan and Harry wish to pursue an independent life in Canada, another Commonwealth country.

5 'Particularly proud': The Queen pays tribute to Meghan and praises how quickly she has become part of the family. This is in light of how many feel the Queen has every right to be unhappy with the way the Duchess has behaved.

6 'My whole family's hope': Here the monarch speaks as a head of the Royal Family as a whole, putting aside her personal feelings for the greater good.
