I know you're not serious, but I feel it needs stating - A person doesn't deserve more because they've been privileged in having a super pretty face.
Mary was unnecessarily unkind to Sam, and she shouldn't have acted so entitled over Abi.
@AmberRoseGill
I am so ticked that they dumped Abi. Mary's sense of entitlement over Dale was ugly, and implies that she gets the guys she wants without needing Love Island. Abi seemed super nice, she should have had longer.

One of the boys needs to grass on Jake for all the things he said during Casa. I don't want to see Liberty hurt - but she needs to know sooner rather than later that he's been saying "lad's holiday", and all that nonsense, non-stop for days, almost getting off watching cheating.

Faye's behaviour at points has been unacceptably aggressive. But Teddy knows her, and what he can handle, better than we do. She seems, ultimately, to be a caring person, and we can still have maturing to do when we're in our 20s.

What the frick? Other cases don't affect this one - the atrocity that some evil men kill women and aren't adequately punished doesn't make Penelope Jackson any less guilty. It's not "misogyny" to convict a murderer for murder.

Isn't being anti-establishment about opposing the injustice that leads to oppression and poverty, not about opposing science? And yes, I can think of artists who've written actual anti-establishment lyrics in recent years, rather than flaunting tin foil hats.

The insults I'm seeing against him are vile. Why do people think it's OK, let alone remotely mature or intelligent, to mock someone's face?

One of my best memories is when I was on a long car journey with just my Dad, and the song Outrageous Grace came on. He explained what my name (which he had chosen) means and how grace contrasts with other world views. It's still hard to get my head around, but I'm so grateful.

That someone is being chastised by thoroughly unpleasant people is really not a reason to become a fan. Both can be awful in their own ways. Schofield seemingly having been exploitative is not justified by the fact that GBeebies presenters are nasty.

Yay. Amazon is an awful monopoly, which crushes smaller businesses and has manipulated people into more unthinking, planet destroying consumerism. The extent of its power is worrying, if it can't succeed in yet another market (groceries), that's a relief. Proud of my borough.

Maura had good reasons to be angry, Faye doesn't. And I'm pretty sure that Maura wasn't a bully - Faye has been genuinely unkind to Teddy (and earlier was to Hugo when he was sorry).

I spent considerable time last year shouting at the TV about the way that whether we could go on holiday was deemed infinitely more important than humanitarian crises in Africa. I've now given up hope that news will cover the things that matter most, selfishness is encouraged.

I've not looked into the HRC much, but whenever I've come across it it seems to be campaigning about gender. There are human beings in our world suffering under modern slavery, and or lacking food or water - why are their human rights not getting the HRC's energy?
You can afford houses, I think that's more significant than cheap buses. Child poverty is higher in London than in any other UK region (presumably in part because some parents have so little left after paying London rent).
We all need to be opposing the Tories, not other regions.

Why must every character be sexualised? Can't a heroine be complete in her own strength without romance or sex? One of the greatest things about Frozen was that it celebrated sisterly love, rather than compounding society's dogma that romance/sex is fundamental to identity.

No we don't. Teddy's intelligence level requires someone who doesn't think that a dolphin is a fish.

You DO support child brides (+possibly other things listed). You want Aid cut, and that means more girls miss out on education, leading to families feeling that they need to be married off. Recent cuts are expected to lead to 1000s of child marriages (resulting in child rape).

I've been wondering this for a while. I do not understand why plenty of people now hate Labour because they think it's middle class, yet embrace being ruled by the upper class. It's sentiment that permeates much discussion (esp on Facebook), with plenty of erroneous prejudgement.
