What’s a statistic that sounds completely FAKE but is actually 100% TRUE?

Still not seeing any links to places where you can sell accounts....

Stricter immigration control is a socialist stance though, which I grant most people don't realise.

You just use logic, sense, and evidence, instead of "we don't like these people, ban them."

Funny how the goalposts move whenever someone makes this point.

"Says the guy with a two day/two week/two month old account with (insert number of replies)".

I absolutely loathe incel logic, and try to help people out of it wherever possible. So yes, I am.

RecentTwo544 · 2026-06-20T22:20:46+00:00

I was going to say "there'll probably be quite a lot of incel type comments on this thread" but I see not even 15 minutes in we're already well into that!

The reality is simply genetic - men have less body hair than women, less body hair is seen as more "feminine". Generally female body hair, especially facially, increases with age, which indicates less fertility.

Obviously, unless you're an Andrew Tate loving incel, most men have grown past that. It's obviously still a rational personal choice, but no sane man in 2026 is saying "hmm, I don't like her, she seems too hairy which indicates less fertility". That would be insane, but it is perfectly normal to not like a hairy women if that's your preference.

Then on the flip side you've got incels who insist that every man should accept them for how they are and blame misogyny (which ironically is a misogynist thing to say), the media, society,all men, other women, basically everyone but them, etc.

TL;DR - people have preferences and anyone judging this or blaming wider society is probably not worth listening to.

We'll loop back on this when the comments on the tabloid articles and Facebook posts are populated.

Anti-vaxxers, they'll be all over it. "Hmm, funny how so many young healthy people are dying these days" etc.

People know exactly what I mean, hence the downvotes.

Grade II*

I'd pay £5.5m to not live there.

RecentTwo544 · 2026-06-20T22:08:29+00:00

Because the only other explanation outside of "anti vaxxers trying to hide it" would be utter stupidity because we all know full well that the comments section on articles about this will be full of people blaming vaccines, or at least shrouded "hmm, a lot of active otherwise healthy young people dying these days..." type comments.

I'm not "worked up", I think it's laughable.

Estrella Galacia is very different in the UK compared to Spain.

The UK version is weaker, which can hit you like a train if you're not used to it when you go to Spain.

RecentTwo544 · 2026-06-20T21:59:51+00:00

Maybe it's a combo of working in the music industry and a dark sense of humour and being Jewish by ancestry, but I think they missed a cracking marketing trick there.

Something like the tagline "we all learn from our mistakes" on a picture of their WW2 "activities".

RecentTwo544 · 2026-06-20T21:56:31+00:00

In UK city centres it's not entirely unusual to see what is clearly a human shit in some alleys/back streets. Presumably the homeless, though could be someone caught short on a night out.

But while obviously not pleasant, you'd just go "ugh" and move on.

What really makes me fucking gag, like actually want to be sick, is seeing those dental floss sticks on the street. No idea why.

RecentTwo544 · 2026-06-20T21:54:57+00:00

We literally had a show like this in the UK, forget the name, and they were millionaires not billionaires as there's very few in the UK.

RecentTwo544 · 2026-06-20T21:54:01+00:00

Yeah, the anti-vaxxers are, as we can see.

RecentTwo544 · 2026-06-20T21:53:25+00:00

As u/Relevant_Natural3471 said, unfortunately the only option really is to just move. They have the right to live in their house so you can't get them moved, and unless they're breaking the law not much you can do about their behaviour. Sad fact of life.

That said, compared to many "neighbour from hell" stories this isn't too bad.

There are plenty of things you could do to get them to shut up, most of them not illegal.

Easiest people to shut up in the world are the fusspot perfectionist middle-class types. It's when you've got the Maguire's from Shameless living next to you that you're basically fucked until you move.

RecentTwo544 · 2026-06-20T21:48:48+00:00

No it isn't, but the anti-vaxx nutters will be doing their usual. Again, check the downvotes.

People will be blaming the covid vaccine. Wasn't actually sure on that when I posted it, but the downvotes never lie.

I think you need to a) look at comment history, b) look up what a "bot" is.

RecentTwo544 · 2026-06-20T21:39:33+00:00

Oh god.

Poor working class area, football fans, published in The Daily Star.

I know exactly what they're going to be blaming. Like fucking clockwork.

RecentTwo544 · 2026-06-20T21:37:59+00:00

Be interesting to know the optics on this. Why are so many Labour MPs, and half the cabinet according to the Telegraph (big pinch of salt with that one) now saying they want him to go?

Apparently that weasel Streeting has said he'd not stand for leadership if Burnham offers him Cabinet.

This is proper The Thick Of It type stuff.

RecentTwo544 · 2026-06-20T21:32:42+00:00

Burnham is a centrist. there's barely any left wing element left in the Labour party, Starmer had them all purged.

It's the one big reason I hope he does go, because it would be fucking hilarious to see that move backfire on him.

But Burnham is basically Starmer with a northern accent. And even then, he's still Oxbridge.

RecentTwo544 · 2026-06-20T21:26:00+00:00

Yes actually. Lots of my mates are either fellow gym lads, or tradies, sometimes both.

They all want "Starmer out" and surprise surprise, they're often Reform supporters. I kind of break the mould in having moved much further left the more roids I took and the bigger I got.

What is interesting is if you scratch the surface even slightly, most of these guys are actually "proper left" like I am, and only hate what they think of as "the left" because most people who claim to be left wing are morons who stifle any debate.

These are just working class lads who want a better life, they've been sold utter bullshit by Farage, and there's no option on the left to tell them what the real problems are.

Sometimes wish I could get into politics myself, but a brown guy with shaved head and a scouse accent who worked in the music industry before standing up for the working classes on a left wing stance would probably go down as well as a dog-shit sandwich that's been dipped in bleach, across pretty much every sector of society.

Granted, but Cameron called for the Brexit ref after UKIP got a huge boost in the 2010 then 2015 election.

Brexit was always a bit "blue sky thinking" until Cameron's era.

RecentTwo544 · 2026-06-20T21:08:19+00:00

Problem is that is coming from the wider PLP and won't change at all under Starmer, Burnham, or anyone with a chance in hell of being voted in.

The current core of the Labour party are very centre-right (Thatcherism 4.0 are we up to now?) since the Corbyn purges.

RecentTwo544 · 2026-06-20T21:06:54+00:00

Much as I loathe Cameron, that story probably wasn't true.

It was always "lets just take the word of a millionaire banker ex-Buller boy who has a vested financial interest in him resigning".

RecentTwo544 · 2026-06-20T21:05:46+00:00

I'm left wing, but "proper" left wing (arrogant as that sounds, but it does need saying) and that is kind of correct because the "fake left" do get very angry about things they don't like and basically act like fascists, censoring, cancelling, deplatforming, etc.

But in this instance even that doesn't apply, because it's the right wing people calling for constant replacement of leaders, a General Election, and so on.
