You have to understand that these articles and especially the discourse on the internet are full of hyperbole and overreaction.

Holy fuck he was such a chonk.

Then they should stop using communications that contain profanity in their broadcasts.

They do that when they have enough time to redact the profanity. It's always bleeped out. But in a live situation when you don't have time to edit a beep in you're going to have some fall through the cracks.

I don't know if you watch any other sport on British TV but it's the same there. For example in Rugby the referee is actually mic'd up and you always hear some fruity language from the players. And when that leaks into the ref's mic and gets accidentally broadcast the commentators apologise because they don't want to be seen as breaching the rules.

In general you probably don't want to broadcast foul language when children might be watching. But you also can't avoid foul language at sporting events that happen to be broadcast at the hours children might be watching. So you have to do something to tread that line.

And, look, if you still disagree then maybe switch to a Dutch stream of the coverage where apparently it's totally normal to swear like a pirate at any time of day 🤷.

There is. This dumbass didn't follow them.

As a non native english speaker it's always funny to me, how the commentators on Sky F1 immediately apologize for the "dirty" words the drivers use.

This is actually required by law. It's party of their broadcasting licence that they don't use profanity before "the watershed" (2100 at night). If they receive a complaint that they were seen to allow the profanity they get fined. And repeat offending will lose their broadcast licence.

It's dumb and you may not agree with it, but that's the rules.

As a King: invading Ireland.

Surprised that Ireland isn't on this list. Surely they need loads of data centres for all the US companies they shield from taxes 😉.

You can use OpenOffice which hasn't adopted any new UI since 1998.

Wait... Labour?

 

I didn't know he was a Tory 😔.

 

She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie....

 

Yikes 😬 I think her plan is to put everyone in the country off voting for the Conservatives. What a stupid route to take for the shambles that is the Home Secretary.

 

Starmer wants that sweet sweet Brexit Red Wall vote so he's not going to offer anything meaningful by way of rejoin.

Me: Time to vote for a party that wants to rejoin.

Militant Leftists: A vote for anyone other than Labour is a vote for the Tories.

Me: sadge.gif

I know this isn't strictly UK politics but does that mean we now have to drop food standards as well to maintain a level playing field? 🤔
