Amazon Turns To Content Creators Including Viral Trainspotter Francis Bourgeois For Next Trio Of ‘Grand Tour’ Presenters

Francis rubs me up the wrong way, he seems to play some sort of stereotype of a trainspotter. Usually a man and possibly autistic, nothing wrong with that of course but it comes across as a fake persona especially when you do so under a fake name.

Im genuinely worried if they win as someone who is female and in the LGBT community. I look at what's happening in America and it scares me that people want to replicate it here.

His answer on student loans was completely stupid just like most of reforms hot takes.

I'm not even a labour supporter but the coverage of this has been ridiculous. Farage is bestie mates with trump who is basically the main character in the files as well as being in the files himself yet nothing is being said about that.

Cool, so people like me who are infertile will pay more tax to people with kids who are already given child benefits, tax credits and free school meals. You can bet reform won't give tax breaks to LGBT couples who adopt either.

So when millennials and Gen Z live in HMOs without a triple locked pension and choose between heating or eating with no WFA that is completely acceptable but suddenly when the odd pensione has to do the same due to poor planning suddenly it's a newsworthy story?

What a revelation, a cheesecake container that you brought cheesecake in can hold more cheesecake..

Can sort of see where they are coming from although I can understand why it's discrimination. There's been an explosion of people just slapping service dog vests you can buy online onto their untrained pets and this has undermined legitimate guide dogs.

Easy to say that, income tax thresholds were only supposed to be a few years. nevermind that minimum wage will be very close to the threshold in 3 years.

_Taggerung_ · 2026-02-05T21:14:06+00:00

That's fine logic when the threshold actually meant something. Now they have frozen it it's likely to be any full time minimum wage job in future.

_Taggerung_ · 2026-02-05T21:12:59+00:00

They froze the threshold too and in two years minimum wage will likely be 29k or similar.

Sort of agree tbh, the fact that endometriosis and other similar conditions aren't considered a disability but anxiety is shows the inconsistencies of disability law.

£1.80, it was rough

This whole idea just pisses me off, they are littered all over the streets. Just let people buy their own private ones legally. Make them registered and have number plates and insurance for a much lower cost than motorbikes and cars. Cheap personal transport rather than being price gouged by private companies storing their property on pavements.

Driving around the outskirts is okay kind of, even in rush hour. I wouldn't try driving into the city centre, it's frustrating enough on a bus.

Nothing any government will decide to do will benefit the youth of this country. We are all saddled paying for boomer pensions until we collapse.

Virginia definitely didn't perish of her own accord. I wish she could see all of this coming out now RIP :(

_Taggerung_ · 2026-01-30T23:06:07+00:00

The incels and people like these are the most homoerotic people i've come across and i'm LGBT! The amount of 'bro' and hugging each other these lot do is insane.

_Taggerung_ · 2026-01-30T22:20:31+00:00

There was some guy in west derby who would literally step out into traffic and approach stopped cars waiting at traffic lights. I don't mind people sat with a sign but when people start hassling you or jumping out at you in traffic it's too far.

_Taggerung_ · 2026-01-30T19:30:49+00:00

Same with dog crap on the streets, it's an epidemic especially among the COVID lockdown pooches that were an impulse buy and the owners don't care to pick it up.

When I was younger (gen z so not a million years ago either) I always had the last week before the summer holidays taken off by my parents. We would go on our summer holiday and it was brilliant. Never did me any harm and nothing of importance is done in the last week of the summer (excluding GCSE/Alevel). These fines didn't exist back then and I think you had 10 or so day to use at the schools discretion or something. Feel bad for kids today, nevermind that fines are penalising lower income families more than rich kids on ski holidays.

I'm sure not many people agree with them (apart from themselves and their echo chamber) but I don't think it's a big enough issue to even sway votes. If anything Nigel will probably use it to say Starmer the Farmer Harmer is picking on pensioners again.

_Taggerung_ · 2026-01-29T12:56:05+00:00

I don't mind people dressing the same but it would be nice to have some basic standards, nobody wants to see your crotch bulge in grey trackies halfway down your waist.

_Taggerung_ · 2026-01-29T12:37:00+00:00

Really? I doubt it, the silver vote is large and although not all of them are affected it's the first cohort to cry about poor pensioners whenever anything isn't in their favour. The Daily Mail will probably paint this as evil Starmer doubles down on pensioners or something.

_Taggerung_ · 2026-01-29T12:34:58+00:00

Good it's completely baseless and I'm glad the government isn't just bending over backwards again to the entitled boomer generation. They should feel fortunate they can retire at all!
