My mum is 75, and thus at university when LSD use was at its peak. My granny died 20 years ago - and she had holidays abroad, carpets and a remote control telly in her council house. This kind of fetish porn poetry seems to romanticise an era from my great grandparents time, pre-war basically. The person writing this must have died at least half a century ago.
There were still places like that with people living like that well into the late 60s, but I don't think anyone who ever lived there would have characterized them as being without crime or decay. Most people were glad to move out after a period of adjustment.

I can see people who moved out of that when they were like 5 having false nostalgia for it but not anyone else.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.

I had someone the other day tell me that whenever they go to london they don't feel safe.

I've had to go to London for work-related stuff several times over the last couple of years. Mainly the city center near Kings cross station or Shoreditch (if that's actually the center). During the day it felt like one of the safest places i'd ever been due to how many folk were about, but when it got to being really late and night when the streets were pretty empty, it started to feel a little bit sketchier.

I'm sure it was completely fine and it was just a combination of being alone in a big new place in the dark. Though in every town/city there are places you go and places you don't go, so with the size of London and the unfamiliarity I have with it, that was something always on my mind as I just followed Google map's quickest way from A>B.

I mean it's exactly the same thing you get from your horrible boomer uncles and poo poo. The point is not to say something factually accurate it's that they are emotionally invested in there being no global warming and thus it is an excuse to comment on the weather and air their pet grievance at the same time. Doesn't have to stand up to scrutiny because it is said almost entirely for the benefit of the person saying it and they aren't looking to scrutinise it.

Panto villains are fun to hate though, unlike English football which is just annoying. Sure, we could talk about this thrilling 4-3 game between Zimbabwe & Honduras but instead let's go to the England camp to talk to Harry Kane about whether or not he prefers Cluedo or Game of Life in his down time. Never mind Clive Tyldesley going on about how Player X played against Birmingham City in the Intertoto Cup and just making every aspect of the game related to the EPL.

None of this is the fault of the England squad, which is about as likeable as I can imagine them ever being.

If Scotland was in a union with Spain & we got Spanish TV & Scottish editions of Spanish papers I'd probably loving hate Spain but here we are.

I didn't even realise we lost because I'm been ignoring this world cup because it's played on the blood of South Asians.

gently caress this cup, and whoever wins it might deserve it but also has the shame of taking home a cup full of slave tears.
