YPhrunts, is that you?
To take it a step further, we should probably do away with the âelderlyâ first because of how much a burden they are on society as they age. Just keep anyone under the age of 50 as a starting point.
Perhaps thatâs ageist? And/or moderately psychotic? Who knows. It probably will particularly offend anyone over the age of 50 being called elderly.
And anyone reporting this should lighten up. It was a joke.
Tis is brave new world u suggestâŚ.

Didnât she want to sell off Channel 4 because it was a waste of taxpayers money, even though it is funded entirely by its commercial ventures?
They decided not to go with comedians for their coverage, but Iâm assuming that they needed some comic relief.

We watched that once. I ended up chatting with my wife about it all the way through it. I then realised that I was chatting with my partner whilst watching a television program about couples chatting to their partner whilst watching a television programmeâŚ
Iâm assuming that itâs turtles all the way down.

I love Gogglebox. I do that too , chat all way through a programme, film and the match yesterday.
I havent watched any news for the last few days. It just that X at the moment. Love it how all the politicians and Musk are getting pelters from the public. There are some good people on there in between the bad eggs.

I donât really watch any UK news now. I occasionally stick the World Service on but it has really been watered down in recent years and they rarely discuss domestic politics.
I try to keep off X/Twitter these days. Iâll follow interesting links that others post but if I try to interact with it I just get links to porn stars and if I search itâs all far-right crap.

I missed the first half, due to eating and playing FM but had it on in the background. Watched about 5 minutes of the 2nd half and tuned out due to nearly falling asleep, only to wake up with a few minutes left. First thing I heard from post-game analysis was England were much better in 2nd half, which nearly put me to sleep, so anyone that managed to sit through the 1st half has my respect

Candidate accused of making âderogatoryâ comment about Scousers
A parliamentary candidate has been told to consider her position after making âderogatoryâ comments about Liverpool.
Lisa Smart is standing for the parliamentary seat of Hazel Grove in Greater Manchester, hoping to win it from the Tories in next weekâs election. Hazel Grove was most recently held by William Wragg, a former Conservative who resigned the party whip earlier this year after admitting to sharing fellow MPs phone numbers on a dating app.
But Ms Smart has now been wrapped up in a scandal herself, after being caught on a doorbell camera appearing to use anti-Liverpool slurs when out canvassing for votes.
It transpires that Ms Smart encountered a woman at a house who spoke with a Scouse accent and was visiting family in the Hazel Grove area.
After the woman said she was registered to vote in Liverpool, Ms Smart can be heard stating: âAh, understood â so youâre just here nicking stuff.â
Shocked by the derogatory comment, the woman told her relative, who watched the exchange back on the doorbell footage. He told the Mail that it was a âcompletely unacceptable comment for a politician to make.â
The Lib Dems have already been accused of using an âanti-Liverpool toneâ in their Hazel Grove campaign. They previously described the fact that the Conservative candidate, Paul Athans, is originally from Liverpool as âyet another insult.â
Mr Athans said: "This is not the first time Ms Smart has attacked my birthplace and it is blatant hypocrisy. I live in Marple (in the centre of Hazel Grove Constituency) and it is public knowledge that she lived in London for over a decade and stood for the London Assembly.
"The fact that she has the audacity to call me an âinsultâ for not being born here, when she wasnât either, is disgraceful.
Speaking about the anti-Liverpool comments, he added: "This supposed âjokeâ is reinforcing derogatory stereotypes.
"I hope the voters of Hazel Grove will look at this incident as just the tip of the iceberg that has been the Lib Dem campaign here in Hazel Grove. Their nasty, negative, and misleading campaigning is not good for democracy.
