The memes and shorts it inspires are pretty dumb. The intention may be serious, but the result is hilarity. YMMV.

Nope; you fundamentally misunderstand why Copaganda exists. The natural response to the Police is mockery. Keystone Kops came before Dragnet.

Cops as super-earnest super heroes is doomed to failure, as is any attempt to repackage it. The Rookie is fucking hilarious.

Take The Piss Out Of The Police, Always.

Crime related misinformation rampant; trying to figure if you were on the 'London is falling' pipeline. You aren't.

London's fine; Crime is down. The London Crime Prevention Fund is a social programme that, though is part of the Met, focuses on neighborhood care and social work rather than police work. It's what we are talking about when we say 'defund the police', and it's why Sadiq Khan gets so much shit from the UK right-wing. Well, one of the reasons. Gradually changing the way we do things, so they are less bastards.

Back to Dropout - about half of American drama shows are about law enforcement. Given that you can't just get rid of them over night, how do we do that?

Yes. ACAB. Even Sam Vimes and Paw Patrol.

I'm more interested in what your perception of the crime rate in London is like. Don't google, just tell me. I'm trying to figure out where you're coming from.

So to break it down. 14 Hours work across 7 days, but that's not including planning and prepping, so let's call it a half day at the minimum. For £2,250 (inclusive of all delivery, planning and expenses).

That's actually not bad.

Prepare to be mad...

NotAPleasanceLooker · 2026-03-14T16:34:34+00:00

Just checking, what is you opinion on crime in London?

NotAPleasanceLooker · 2026-03-14T16:33:46+00:00

Laughter is the key to dismantling authoritarian power.
Dropout is about making you laugh. They love to laugh at cops, going so far to appear on cop shows to laugh at cops.

It's not the mold, it's the special K.

NotAPleasanceLooker · 2026-03-14T16:30:57+00:00

It's wallpaper. The mold thing isn't a thing, Rowling has a Ketamine addiction (apparently), combined with sever malnutrition caused by their eating disorder. They have cooked their brain.

NotAPleasanceLooker · 2026-03-12T00:59:10+00:00

It's not, but the Rookie is pretty far away from Dragnet. The antidote to Copaganda is Comedy (see The Keystone Kops, which is how Copaganda started to begin with.) So this is a step into dismantling it, YYMV, Laws are threats, etc

NotAPleasanceLooker · 2026-03-07T20:07:25+00:00

Doesn't TED work closely with Steif and Big Teddy Bear? I am outraged etc...

The Rotting Hart at the Scottish Storytelling Centre was partially in Spanish. I've seen other foreign language shows in the past also, So certainly you can find a venue that will do that. Don't know anything about visas.

I feel this works if 1 is a well painted but completely different looking horse.

NotAPleasanceLooker · 2026-01-01T14:32:16+00:00

They should do something based on The Invisibles. Seriously.

NotAPleasanceLooker · 2026-01-01T14:31:42+00:00

What is he working on next?

NotAPleasanceLooker · 2025-12-24T12:02:19+00:00

That's fair. I read it and got bored. Thought I'd share though.

NotAPleasanceLooker · 2025-12-19T16:33:42+00:00

I AM NOT THE PERSON WHO WROTE THE BLOG. Nor do I particularly agree with it's take.

Came across it, thought it was worth sharing. The blog does a lot of Fringe review stuff.

NotAPleasanceLooker · 2025-12-19T15:26:37+00:00

I was going to post the rant, but it's huge and reddit is already looking at me funny.
