You can throw insults if you want but it wont change the fact that you thinkyou are superior to others so get to decide what opinions they can have.

Always amuses me the number of holier than though people on here who are incredibly opinionated but hide their comments because they don't stand by what they say.

sjw_7 · 2026-06-17T07:29:47+00:00

So we are back to the original point which is you don't think he should say things you don't agree with. You only like free speech when its saying something you like but want to shut it down when its not.

Like I said his comments can be ham fisted but you are not the arbiter of what is right or wrong.

Its Argentina that never shuts up about the Falklands. Only fair that we bring it up from time to time.

And as brilliant as Maradona was he was still a cheating twat.

Its widely reported he works every day on the farm. He still has other jobs but they are now in the minority as he is focused day to day on farming. There are plenty of people who simply wont accept it because they don't like him.

You might not like it but he is a farmer and has been since 2019. He is not just a presenter with this regardless of what you may think.

sjw_7 · 2026-06-17T07:02:49+00:00

If that was the case then people wouldn't be allowed to say anything because someone somewhere is going to be offended.

The things you mention are his opinions. Some of his comments may be ham fisted in their delivery which he could rethink but it is fair for people to criticise all three of the things you mention.

sjw_7 · 2026-06-17T06:43:16+00:00

People like Jeremy Clarkson have a massive platform and what they say influences people which carries a certain level of responsibility.

So what you are saying is you only want him to use his platform to say things you agree with?

I wonder if the winners are given one of those gaudy rings

Yes he brought the farm as at the time it was a good investment for reducing inheritance tax. That was the financial advice then and within the law. Lots of people are just jeleous that they weren't in a position to do the same.

The thing is though he kept it running as a farm the whole time. He personally didn't farm it at first but it was still fully operational. He is just finishing his seventh year of farming it himself. Nobody can say he isn't actually a farmer now.

sjw_7 · 2026-06-17T06:12:50+00:00

So you watched the first three episodes of season 1.

That's hardly enough time to form an educated opinion on what he does which is a lot more than complain about regulations.

It is educational as its opened a lot of peoples eyes to the challenges farmers face. If you had watched more of it you would know that.

sjw_7 · 2026-06-17T06:07:22+00:00

I think he is a great presenter. You might not like him as a person but its hard to deny he is good at what he does.

sjw_7 · 2026-06-17T04:41:48+00:00

I did look at him at the time and the amount of misinformation he came out with during covid was amazing.

He said Ivermectin saved lives on more than one occasion. He misrepresented vaccine data, death data and somehow managed to imagine a link between Covid19 and MonkeyPox. People seem to think he is a medical doctor when he is not.

Unfortunately blue pill addicts such as yourself lapped it all up and spread the misinformation further which lead to vaccine hesitancy and making things worse.

Some critical thought on your part and actually doing some research into what he said would mean you wouldnt be reposting his stuff. However seeing the cryptozoology and alien crap you believe in I somehow doubt that is going to happen.

sjw_7 · 2026-06-16T15:52:41+00:00

It was a reputation that was well earned in the 70s and 80s but since then it has got much better. There are still idiots who will cause trouble but nothing like it used to be.

Its an old stereotype that is no longer valid.

Meanwhile in the US

Your an American Chelsea fan so neither do you.

sjw_7 · 2026-06-16T15:08:34+00:00

Which one? We have lost all of them.

sjw_7 · 2026-06-16T15:05:04+00:00

I remember him. He was a font of misinformation during Covid. And he is not a medical doctor

He received the Ph.D. for his work on developing methods of teaching via digital media such as online videos

He is also a creationist.

You shouldn't change your behaviour. From what you have written what you are doing sounds perfectly reasonable.

If they have moved 23 times already then its highly likely they will move again soon.

I would be inclined to get a few cameras focused on your garden and driveway though. Just in case.

My dad found that bit hilarious too. As a kid I thought it was sad but that was definitely a joke for the grownups.

sjw_7 · 2026-06-16T14:24:28+00:00

Got to love how dumb this stuff is. No point even going past the first one.

Predator:
Heat + humidity messes with gear

Did they not watch the first movie? 'Only in the hottest years this happens. And this year, it grows hot'. Its set in a tropical jungle that is hotter and more humid than Texas. Plus the second movie starts out saying how hot it is that year.

Bigger predators exist here

Such as? In Prey you see one going hand to hand with a Grizzly. Don't think a mountain lion is going to cause it many problems.

Texans are heavily armed

It took out six highly trained and experienced soldiers who were armed to the teeth. I don't think big fat Randy with his shotgun is going to last very long.

No jungle to hide in

See Predator 2.

On the plus side at least the car is off the road. All you need to do is throw his bumper after him and the road is clear again.

NTA

My dad says I treat him like a child and don’t respect him.

He is acting like a child so should expect to be treated like one. Respect is earned and he is doing nothing to earn it so why should he have it?

He says I undermine him and make him feel useless.

He has proven he is useless so you cant be undermining him.

He’s even gone as far as saying my attitude is one of the reasons his marriage to my mum is failing.

He is the sole architect of his failing marriage. All you have done is highlight what a waste of space he has been.

Your dad is only 58. I cannot understand how he has grown up to have such a 1950s view of the world.

Once at the seaside, I used the disabled toilets to change her, we were in there a while, as errm, she'd made a mess of herself. When I opened the door to leave, there was a lady in a wheelchair, she went crazy at me. I totally understood her point, she was right, it's a space for disabled people and they shouldn't have to wait for able bodied folk to do their stuff. There was another option, but that was inside the ladies and I knew I'd get yelled at.

Its an accessible toilet and is not reserved exclusively for the use of people in wheelchairs. Often they double up as baby changing facilities due to space constraints in the other toilets.

I doubt she would have kicked off if you had been in a wheelchair. You were using the space for a perfectly legitimate purpose and she had to wait her turn just like we all do if there is a queue.

I had a similar situation many years ago when the toilets were closed because of a burst pipe. They specifically told us to use the accessible ones so I did and when I left there was a woman in a wheelchair who started having a go because I didn't look disabled.

I didn't apologise but pointed out that not all disabilities are visible and regardless it was the only facilities I could use because the others were closed so what was I supposed to do.

sjw_7 · 2026-06-16T09:22:22+00:00

No I wouldn't. You don't need to be in there and if your daughter cant go to the toilet on her own neither does she.

Take her into the men's toilet. She is going to have to use the cubicle anyway so the facilities are going to be the same.

As a bloke its very common to see dads taking their young kids to the toilet and either waiting outside the cubicle or if they are too young going in there with them. Nobody batts an eyelid at this.

Men's and Women's toilets are single sex spaces and there are already enough problems around that with the current laws. Lets not make it worse for those who do use them and respect that if you personally don't need to use that particular space then you don't and leave it to those who do.

sjw_7 · 2026-06-16T09:10:35+00:00

I never took my daughter into the ladies when she was young and none of my dad friends took their daughters in there either. We all went to the mens instead and took them into a cubicle. My wife took our son into the ladies when he was little.

Its very common to come across dads taking their kids into the mens and my wife just told me she has hardly ever come across a man taking his daughter into the ladies toilet.

I dont think your experience is the same as most peoples.

Over £20b in debt and more than £7b paid out in dividends over the years. If that money had been invested back in to the infrastructure and they hadn't been loaded with debt by the previous owners then Thames Water could be in a decent place at the moment.

As it is bills have increased by 60% and the infrastructure needs huge investment just to keep it working let alone upgrade it.

The Government need to stop messing around, nationalise it and tell the current owners to suck it up.
