I can only imagine the backlash that's coming for the BBC after Glastonbury this year. I haven't watched any of it. In fact it's probably been 10 years or more since I just got fed up with it being a Party Political wankfest and not about the music. I'm sure the fringe stuff is OK, there's bands we know appearing and let's hope it does their careers, such as a musician can have one, some good but there's something rotten at the core of all of this.
It was always the case that people who couldn't hold down a real job but managed to make it big in the music or acting world then grew so "popular" that they felt we needed to know their opinions on things and be told which way to vote (that's backfired spectacularly this time with Labour coming to power - the mess made has meant the 'luvvies' have found one of their many reverse gears and accelerated out of the spotlight.
I think I called this out in 2020 when people were doing their virtue signalling clap for the NHS or turning their profile picture blank for BLM and so on. The band wagon rolls on and on and there always seems to be the gullible who join in thinking that it matter or that anyone gives a sh1t. What happens is that we see you for who you are and you are exposed for who you are. The irony is lost on people who are at a festival condoning people who murdered young people, like themselves, at a festival? No? Maybe it's just me that thinks that. But I didn't watch it because I knew what it would be like. Of course the BBC and their viewers are "shocked" )switched into sarcasm mode for that). Really?!! Really?!! If they had an inkling, all they need do is record it and take out the political bits but it's the BBC and it's actually what they think too despite their hands up protestations and it is all wearing very thin indeed, this tissue thin veil of impartiality has been destroyed over and over and they just ought to call themselves the Socialist Broadcasting Corporation or the Guardian or the Morning Star, something like that.
I have avoided the TV for months now and only come into the living room to watch the odd thing. Clarkson's Farm for example and Formula One but I tend to play that on my iPad in another room. I'll pick out some YouTube commentators and dip in and out of some online podcasts but that's it now. Of course, it is all coming out now that pressure was put on popular programmes to promote vaccination - so if they did that, what else are they pushing?
I am trying to keep away from the TV, cut my intake of alcohol too, which is doing OK. I am losing weight but I need to check that my diet is doing that and I'm not ill which I know sounds strange. I'm losing weight and I am pleased about that and I am consciously eating to lose weight but now that it has accelerated and is quite noticeable. I suppose it should be as I've been eating like this for 3 or 4 months now and I think that the gradual weight loss is now more visible eight loss and my belt for example is in another notch and clothes are loose on me and yet, I cannot get into the clothes from 3 years ago? Anyway, it's a "monitor it" and see. I feel fine if not a little flat and I am noticing that my body and joints all feel good, my skin is also feeling good too so perhaps things are OK and it's just me worrying too much about it.
If I can keep this up for the summer I will be pleased but I need to keep off the Beer (liquid bread) and any carbohydrates too.
