Do you put christmas pop songs on repeat, just to get yourself in the right mood?

Mariah, Wizzard and The Pogues on repeat.

This seems to fit more here than the Israel v Palestine thread:

M&S pull their Christmas and because the hats are "Palestinian" colours. It was filmed months ago...

A bit unfortunate, although unlikely to be any sort of statement about Palestine, given that green, white and red feature quite a lot in Christmas imagery, but cannot AI and/or CGI remedy it quite easily?

It wasn't a statement.

It could be easily remedied.

Why remedy it?

To avoid idiots jumping to the wrong conclusion.

Or they could put a star on top of their christmas tree to upset idiots on both sides.

My compass is definitely turning since the coronation.
I think it would be good to slowly tone it all down a bit over the next few decades.

Diddums

Not heard for sixty years since primary school from the playground bully. He wasn't popular either.

Hopefully people will stop searching the web for pomp-porn, and thoughtlessly sharing it on social media. May take a while ...

At least they all look thoroughly miserable, reading or listening to Sunak's pointless fin de siecle drivel. I suppose Brian will at least be pleased they forgot about banning trophy hunting imports.
