I loved it. Get away from the main tourist traps and you find a wonderful city full of beauty and charm.

I am mostly but I had to dip into the hellhole to get pictures for her team.
Jesus lord of god I fucking hate crowds.

Don't go in Summer. European tourism 101. Unless you're stuck with kids' summer holiday routines, why the fuck would you go anywhere on the Med in summer?

We went to Venice in March (before we had kids) and it was lovely; still busy but not mad, no funny smells and expensive but not ridiculous.

Mind you, I'm in Denmark at the moment and fuck me its expensive. Really, really expensive.

I'm going to Denmark with the kids for August holidays. I think I'll need a 2nd mortgage then.

 

[Ormorof]

Its one of the reasons i love living in Finland, everywhere i go seems really cheap compared to home

I find eating out in a good restaurant in CPH much much more expensive than similar in SKM..

Get off the beaten track. You don't have to go far. I spent the evening getting absolutely hammered and eating lots of different foods with the o/h and spent about 80 quid.

Of course, not a word of english spoken, and got laughed at a lot for my terrible pigeon italian. Got bought a round of drinks at the end by the bar for making the attempt tho

Not quite on the Med, but we went to Milan on Bank Holiday weekend and it was fantastic, not too busy, good weather hospitable locals and great food.

Spent the day up in Como too, marvelling at all the obscenely rich Swiss people bringing their multi million pound hypercars over the border. The road from Como to Bellagio was entertaining too...

The worse part is constantly being called Sir. You know your getting old when that happens.

The only thing worse than that is when you start buying beige clothes from Marks and Spencer...

Or having to ask where the non skinny jeans are.

Youtube has gone back to clickbait titles.

And you've been baited by alt right youtubers to suggest that freedom of speech is being diminished. Which it isn't, they just want an excuse to do things which are very bad whilst screaming freedom of speech to get white knights like yourself to join their crusade.

Youre a joke.

Just waiting for you to directly support the persecution of minorities without realising it.

 

[Scouse]

And you've been baited by alt right youtubers to suggest that freedom of speech is being diminished.

My dear boy. You don't really think I ever watch youtube do you? Or follow social media of any kind?

The only presence I have on the internet, other than watching mountain bike videos of places I wish to ride, doing my taxes and playing games is here on Freddyshouse.

So how do I come to the conclusion that freedom of speech has come under clear and sustained threat, without being co-opted by the alt-right?

Simple. I remember my past clearly, what the world was like - especially before the internet - and what happened to people who expressed non-mainstream views. And since the arrival of the internet and the popularisation of social media there's been a clear and obvious move away from the enlightenment values of "I detest what you say but will fight to the death for your right to say it".

People are losing their jobs, hiding what they really think, getting arrested and imprisoned for making jokes, or for simply being odious and objectionable, being hounded out of political office because of trial by association.

At no point in my life have I ever felt less 'free' - and I've always understood that the British have never had true freedom of speech.

But what is acceptable to express is obviously narrowing by the minute. - and to be clear - I don't condone racism or bigotry, so don't fall foul of the large push of new restrictive legislation or non-legally-codified corporate oversight of social acceptability.

But the fact that people - especially the young, because they're the proverbial canaries that can't see the cage they've grown up in - accept the fact that a tribunal exists for a guy who posts Billy Connolly videos, never mind "await the outcome" makes me sick to my stomach. Because it's indicative of a cowed society, under the thumb of the oppressive, unthinking, mob majority. Unwilling to accept dissent - *real* dissent - on any subject other than the trivial and inconsequential.

You live in a bubble of bullshit and your thin skin is a product of the free(er)-speech we once had. Progress has halted and been replaced by a brutal system of social and legal coercion which forces people to conform to a proscribed worldview, that ostracises those who don't because they're now such a minority and the views they express are now so uncommon that the masses aren't used to hearing them. We now therefore absurdly legislate against offence.

We now live in a cultural straightjacket and it's policed by the majority of "outraged" society like they're members of a cultural hitler youth - with real-world consequences.


All that above is what I think based on observations in my own life, not youtube videos or political blogs. I think about those things because I've lived long enough to experience those changes - so the opinion is my own.

[Scouse]

Which is what youve just done - supporting violence against minorities - people who hold racist views.

David Lammy is a mahoosive cunt. Being black doesn't give him a free pass to want to disfigure racists - any more that being majority jewish gives Israel the right to bomb palestinian babies.

Your abandonment of that enlightenment principle / selective use of when you think it's "appropriate" is horrific.
