The Boat Race is an elitist non-event. It was popular in the past when we were a subservient nation cowering to the ruling classes but it is now happily seen as simply irrelevant.
President Obama. Not nearly as popular inside the USA as in Europe. He spent most of his time in office with a sub-50% approval rating. He is the Tony Blair of America, without the war.
Gallup has done Presidential approval polls ever since the 1940s. Obama finished with an average approval over his 8 years LOWER than Nixon, W, Bush Sr, Reagan, and others. In fact, the only four Presidents with lower average ratings are Truman, Ford, Carter and Trump.
Pressed the like button with my thumb rather suddenly and forcefully.
I hate bakeoff.
Absolutely no idea why it is so popular.
It's the biggest load of pointless nothing I have ever seen.
Such a waste of time. If you like cakes or sweet food, just buy a f*cking good doughnut from Asda.
Why waste so much time decorating something that you eat....and will simply just disappear and digest via stomachs Hydrochloric Acid (think I've got that right) within a very short space of time.
"Yay...I spent 3 hours making something...and someone has eaten it. It's gone now. Wow I am so great"

Oh come on!!! He made some lovely videos of himself playing Hide&Seek with his kids in the Whitehouse or Slam Dunkin in the Oval Office etc Then there's his wife! How has she become Mother Theresa and Lady Di all rolled into one?
The ubiquity of ultra-hoppy Pale Ales. Beer that tastes of mango and / or grapefruit does little for me. Oh, for a glass of Mild, or an English Bitter with a balance of malt and hops. But, no: We shall have at least four 'American' Pales on the bar. Because we know best.
I thought you would love all that hippy dippy hipster nonsense.
David Attenborough is massively overrated, he sits in a studio doing a bit of voiceover work while some poor bastard sits in the arctic for 3 months, and no, this injustice is not solved by the fact they give the cameraman 30 seconds once a series.
A cure for cancer has already been found , but pharmaceutical companies make too much money from other drugs to approve it's release
Got to say I do agree. Not to mention that the world is already over populated, it unfortunately serves a purpose for the governments across the world, without even thinking about how much money is made from it every year.
Things have developed so far and so much that there has to be more of a cure or a complete cure for some cancers. It’s horrible to think but I can’t help but agree.
Are governments capable of keeping it a secret?
When the global industry is worth over 1 trillion dollars, I think any major government can keep it a secret when only a very select few will need to know.
Unfortunately, I believe that a cure will never be made public, on the pure basis on the financial reasons alone. Even if they haven’t found one yet, they almost certainly have far more knowledge than they let us to believe.
I have lost family to cancer and it is a awful, horrible disease that I would do anything for it to not affect people in future. I just don’t think that day will ever come.

There is a cure for cancer but only Hilary Clinton and the lizard people hold the key to the vault. And it's hidden under a New York pizza parlor called The Slice Templar.

You're an idiot Chunes, the earth is so flat nothing could fit under a pizza parlor.
Gonna kick things off with a very unpopular one based om twitter
Flakefleet Primary School on BGT was rubbish
A few of them were on breakfast tv yesterday with the headmaster and one of them gave away that there is somebody helping them with costumes etc... It is all stage managed tat when Simon Cowell has anything to do with it. He isn't allowed to take the piss out of people to boost his wealth anymore so he stage manages the auditions. Most of those foreign acts are spotted and brought over by his people to bring some qulaity to proceedings!
Re the cure for cancer, I've worked on a few... A complete cure to all cancers is a long, long way off.
Unpopular opinion time - global pharma may not be perfect, but it's the best model we've got right now..
Thank you for adding a bit of sanity to that particular topic McBobbin, and thank you for the selfless work you've done in that field. In my (unpopular?) opinion, the premise that governments and pharmaceutical companies have a cure for this awful disease but have kept it 'secret' for financial reasons is utterly ludicrous!!
There's not a family on the planet that has not been affected by cancer in some way. To think that government leaders and CEOs/employees of pharmaceutical companies are keeping a cure a 'dark secret' in order to keep lining their pockets, whilst some of their loved ones and friends contract the disease, is nuts! It's of 'flat earth' proportions.

It's just a load of noise with someone shouting over the top of it.
