I think I see where you are coming from and I'd ask if you hang around many other internet forums? Because I can see how in isolation that post could be seen as fairly innocent and "not too bad" but I'd urge you to go look at some YouTube videos or Reddit threads about Star Wars or Marvel and I'm sure many other things, and you'll see that same message and attitude come out over and over again. How the "woke agenda" is ruining all our favourite things by having film and TV series with female leads and some LGBT characters. It's honestly instantly recognisable the second you see the word "woke". It's indicative that someone has gone down a rabbit hole and just things all of society and media is being ruined by women and gay people having representation. I think we've all at some point been where you are, and seen a single comment that doesn't seem too bad and thought "well, maybe we should try talking to them and changing their minds?" - and indeed we may well have tried. But trust me, you won't get anywhere. And such "discussions" swiftly degenerate into absolutely awful exchanges. I can absolutely see why the mods would want to just cut that off before it starts. Like I say, look around elsewhere, you'll see plenty of evidence for that. That person was not open to having their viewpoint challenged at all. I'm normally all for debate and convincing people and winning the argument, but that was unwinnable. -

They have limited what they can do with some of their promises to not raise the main taxes, but just have to see how things go with their house building and wealth fund and GB Energy...all of which might be real good but that people won't really notice in their day to day lives before the next election. If they want to win the next election they will probably need to chuck more money at everything, and unless the economy starts growing rapidly that will mean more tax from somewhere or change fiscal rules so can borrow more or a bit of both. -

I often avoid the Pyramid because it gets far too busy for me. Really appreciated the space at SZA's set and it just seemed to be full of nicer people. Chilled vibe, everyone into it, not full of talkers or coked up idiots. Enjoyed it a lot. -
I don't see where you are seeing this massive amount of negativity? People are saying SZA as Pyramid headliner didn't work. I don't really see that as arguable, given the tiny crowd. People are discussing why that happened, and the vast majority of people don't think it's because SZA is sh*t. Most of us want her to have had a bigger crowd. So it's a question of why that didn't happen? It's not coming from a negative place. Same for the Janelle and Avril situation. What we all want was for 1) Janelle to have had a bigger crowd because she's great and 2) for everyone who wanted to see Avril to have been able to see Avril. This isn't mostly coming from a place of negativity, it's what went wrong and what can be improved. It's not saying it was a bad festival. Indeed, but you have to play the hand you're dealt right? You can't just blame the audience and carry on regardless. They tried something on the Sunday and, sorry to say, it didn't work. They figured SZA would get a much bigger crowd if they made her headliner, and she didn't. The vast majority of people here aren't saying "therefore please just book 90s/00s rock bands for headliners". We're saying we want the festival to be able to elevate new, exciting acts up to headliner status, but that didn't work here. There's no point them just doing the same thing next year, because most likely it just won't work again. I want it to work. And it has worked before. So the question is why it didn't work next year, and how that can be fixed so it can work in the future. But just pretending it was all fine doesn't help. If the festival has that attitude, they'll book a similar act next year, put them in the same slot, and have another mostly empty field. That benefits no-one.
