Why the hell can't I choose between tv censored versions and the original versions of movies if I'm a adult?
how dark are things in Britain? From the outside, it looks like a dystopian, anarcho-totalitarian nightmare - not that my countries much better. I think they're using Britain as the model for the rest of the Western world
>>216483951Eh the BBC doesn't censor the movies. They adhere to watershed system, after 9pm they show movies as is. The worse it is, the later. They showed threads last summer. Also portrait of a lady on fire.
>>216483478'allo 'allo
>>216484420Well when it comes to their online platforn, I should be able to choose.
>>216483478Only thing I've watched on it is some of the Mischief sketches and listening to the Uncanny podcast. Both pirated.
>>216484447The online platform it doesn't censor at all. It assumes you're an adult.
>>216484517It obviously does, watch Peter jacksons King Kong next time its on and note how they cut the bit were Kong rips the V-rex's tongue out.Boxtrolls also had a blatant cut during one scene.They only put up the watershed versions if that was the only version that aired, it's a silly system.
>>216484420>They showed threads last summer. No shit, threads is BBC produced propaganda and they want everyone to be afraid of nukes again so they can justify warmongering against Russia
>>216483478Inside No. 9Here We Go
>>216484177>how dark are things in Britain?The financial crash, austerity, social media then COVID lockdowns made a lot of people miserable and/or insane.But overall, there aren't many places I'd rather live than England.You can live a life on part-time minimum wage (or unemployment benefits) that's unfathomably comfortable/luxurious to over 95% of the world's population; people lose sight of these things when they try to convince you "everything is shit!"
>>216484780>financially things are shit and making people miserable>but at least we have high welfare spending so people can be unproductive
>>216484177We have been continuously losing personal purchasing power since 2008. Things wouldn't be so bad if the future wasn't always so bleak. Nothing ever gets better here anymore.
>>216484667I don't see the logic behind that.
Taboo.Mammoth.Alan Partridge.
>>216484962>>financially things are shit and making people miserableThere you remoaners go again...
>>216484177We're being mass-replaced by muslim sandniggers and if you notice they lock you up without a jury.We unironically need help from America in this matter.
>>216483478Anything Chris Morris, if they're brave enough to show that
>>216484780>You can live a life on part-time minimum wage (or unemployment benefits) that's unfathomably comfortable/luxurious to over 95% of the world's populationyou live with your parents
>>216485510The problem is that American friendship always fucks us in the long run. American doesn't want the UK to return to its former glory. The whole currency fuckery they kept doing and the suez crisis being the main killer blows from the americans. Muslim sandniggers dividing Europe helps keep America in its position as top of the world.
>>216483478Can you stop thinking about bbc for a second? This is unhealthy to think about blacked all the time
new tricks
random 'what is this zoomer shite?' watch.quite enjoyed it. just a fun little romp, like Derry Girls crossed with Stranger Things.
at the risk of posting on-topic, i do NOT want 'friendship' with America when it comes to television.https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2024/dec/07/us-uk-television-ted-lasso-industrythis article puts it well. there's been this creeping American influence as they finance our telly, to the point 'British' is becoming some twee Richard Curtis genre.
>>216483478>Boomer broadcasting channel
>>216487098you just want to blame us for 75% of your characters being black but we don't pay for your advertising
>>216487273i don't give a fuck if the actual content of the programme is good. same way i'll watch Scotch programming (been enjoying Still Game recently)
>>216487273We only went woke mode because it culturally spread from america.
>>216487371we always had 'it's PC gone mad!!!' but it was usually stupid shit, daft 'substitutes' for terms.the actual mental contorting was pretty funny. the 2010s-era BBC Guidelines actually explained how they'd no longer be calling it 'political correctness' but 'sensitivity'. you have to laugh.
>>216484177It's basically frog boiling in action. Every year things get a little worse, but at least you still have your vices. If the OSA age verification bullshit isn't overturned I'll genuinely consider leaving to burgerland, cause it's literally the most hated thing (bipartisan hatred, mind you) here>>216484467>>216484767>>216485013Thanks for recs.
>>216488352How would you move to burgerland? It seems really hard for non-thirdworlders to move there for some reason.
>>216488675Once I get my biomedical science degree I'll see if I can hunt down a job abroad.
>>216484177Among the major issues that seem to be lingering since the thatcher era that need to be fixed for the country to have a semblance of respect for its citizens, like de-privatizing water and energy, the current issues it faces I feel are not unique to the UK like bending the knee to Israel or the financial squeeze on all citizens from every angle imaginable. The labour party is inflicting unique pain on the UK with the likes of digital ID and arresting old people en masse for supporting Palestine action. >>216484993yeah I mean this is how it feels here. I would argue that this is happening everywhere in the world the UK is uniquely punishing towards their citizens, milking us for every last pound because that's all we've got in terms of generating money for the country.>>216485510This is mental illness. Immigration happens all over the world and you've been propagandised into thinking it's the source of your problems
Life on mars/ashes to ashesSome of doctor who
>>216483478Adam Curtis has all his schizo rants on that thing, doesn't he?
>>216489293>immigration isn't the problem, stop noticingWhy, bootlicker?
>>216489379The bootlicker (you) licks the boot of the agents and police deporting people, you moron. And you're not noticing you just spent a lot of time online being fed a narrative that places the blame on others rather than the people that need to be blamed. But you think you're noticing, lmao. Go read a book
>>216489512Why do bootlickers get so angry when you question immigration? Are you that afraid of speech?
