i was attempting to recall the below post by Mr chunt, after watching this week's antics in the House of Commons that seemed more in keeping with the plot of a "Carry On" film: http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/sho...ostcount=30910

Democracy doesn't exist.
If it did then every single time there was a vote on anything in Parliament, tens of millions of eligible folks would have to down tools, read up on the motion before them, and make an informed choice. Every single time It's not workable so we used to content ourselves with a bastardised republican system where we "allowed" the Conservative, Labour and Liberal "Elites" to shape everything. Brexit was the first sign of this Political method breaking down. "Populism" is about normal, ordinary, intelligent folk finally finding a way to give deserving politicians a good kick in the cobblers.

What you've been hearing recently about Russia is gross misrepresentation. It has to do with a Russian law that forbids publicizing non-traditional sex practices to minors, and I agree with it 100% For your information, the law does not mention homosexuality. And you can be as gay as you want in Russia, because there's no law against it. But don't propagandize it to minors, or you're asking for trouble |

Could you be more specific when you mention the "West"? Homosexuality was decriminalised in Russia in 1993.

I agree that singling out Russia when it comes to the issue of homophobia is just anti-Russian propaganda spewed by our corporate media and their friends in the military-industrial complex. Gays have become a tool for propaganda and warmongering. The Western establishment doesn't give a damn about homosexuals in Russia or wherever else they lament "human rights abuses". The same people are best pals with the ruling circles in Saudi Arabia. You think homophobia in Russia is bad? Try Saudi Arabia. And just to state some facts: homosexuals are not persecuted in Russia. No one is going to jail because of his sexuality. It's just that "gay propaganda" law or whatever it's called that is questionable in a supposed democracy. |

Official Charts Company shakes up rules to stop the Ed Sheeran effect
The Official Singles Chart is getting a structural shake up. Starting from July, artists will be allowed only three of their most popular tracks in the top 100, to prevent music’s heavyweight acts dominating the majority of the charts.
According to the Official Charts Company, the changes are designed to “ensure the chart continues to be a showcase for the new hits and talent which are the lifeblood of UK music”. The aim is to support new talent progressing up the chart, without potential hits being inhibited by older tracks or album tracks by big-name artists. The rule adjustments are expected to boost the number of new chart tracks by about 10%. With music fans often now streaming records in full on repeat, including the likes of Ed Sheeran – whose 2017 album ÷ propelled 16 songs into the Top 20 singles chart – it has become increasingly difficult for newer talent to break through . Drake, Stormzy, the Weeknd, Little Mix and Kendrick Lamar have similarly overshadowed the singles charts on the week of their album releases, with multiple songs featured in the top 40. There will also be a change in the streaming ratio for older tracks that are past their peak and in “steep, prolonged decline” to make space for newer releases. The tweaks – prompted by seismic changes in the wake of the boom of streaming and its subsequent impact on the charts – have been agreed in consultation with record labels, retailers and digital music services across the major and independent industry sectors. Source: https://www.theguardian.com/music/20...sheeran-effect As someone has commented in The Guardian, it's not really a chart if one starts manipulating the numbers to get rid of unwelcome results. But in all honesty, is the Singles chart still relevant in this day and age?

Good that you mention democracy -- over 80% of Russians agree with the law Good that you mention "supposed democracy" too. Did Trump win or lose his election by getting 3,000,000 votes less than his rival. And is the Maybot still in power although she's behind by even more? Putin, on the other hand, has an approval rating over 80% |
