What are your unpopular opinions?

OK, try this for size: Tony Blair was a fine Prime Minister, who did what he thought was best, even when presented with poor quality information by British intelligence. He was largely responsible for improving public services in the UK, whilst being fiscally responsible. Things only went wrong after Gordon Brown succeeded him.

I agree entirely.

The steam-powered piston engine needs a comeback in motorcars (with an electrically-heated fuel tank with inbuilt superheater and fuel pipes) - more environmentally friendly than electric cars

In this thread you honestly sound like an AI trying to pass the turing test. And failing.

Most problems in the public sector including the NHS are far more complex than giving them more money will resolve. Not burning the stuff and employing managers who out source their job to private consultants at exhorbitant costs might be a good start though.

That's just a fking opinion not an unpopular opinion, I've got to bail on this thread now but someone please police it in my absence. Gods speed one and all and if someone starts a thread entitled something like "Opinions, care to share" it should be well subscribed.

You seem to be rather up tight, maybe the internet isn’t a good place for you if other peoples opinions make you froth like that.

Dry your eyes buttercup it was only a small swear. Read the fking thread title and try again, I want to read UNPOPULAR opinions not other peoples general fking opinions, frothing a bit but I like frothing.

Ok - how about you seem a nice and balanced guy most people would like to be more like. That would seem to be a reasonably unpopular opinion i reckon? I thought you were fking off by the way?

I thought I was out but you drew me back in oddball. No one gives a toss about me or you so again, not unpopular, you're still not fking getting it. Now if you like I can make you look like a for awhile, happy to but it's not unpopular opinions is it? I think we're done here don't you oddbod but if you insist on the last word I may or may not grant it to you but you're out of your depth

That most PH'ers are too thick to know the difference between unpopular and popular.

That some PH'ers are too thick to realise that the reality of society is that an unpopular opinion with some will be a very popular opinion with others. Just depends on the reader's opinion.

As before, opinions are like aholes, every forum thread has one, or in this case several.

Apple products are mostly bought by fashion victims
Water companies in the UK are nothing short of a cartel
Pubs will die out in a generation either through legislation or lack of interest from the population
Steve Jobs although often quoted had little if anything of value to say
The UK Education system is little more than state sponsored childcare and seems hell bent on remaining in the 1950's
Pointing out how ridiculous it is blaming the Manager for the failings of a football team when the blokes actually on the field are being paid hundreds of thousands a week to play the game
Sports journalists seem only capable of reporting on football & the gossip surrounding to the detriment of all other sports

Nigel Farage is a lying, fraudulent confidence trickster who has done lasting harm to this country and who should be prosecuted and, hopefully, imprisoned for a very long time

Popular.

Everyone should be sterilised at birth and it's reversed only when you can demonstrate you have the intelligence, stability and finance to support children.

Corporal punishment should be reintroduced - it's cheaper and more effective.

Three strikes and you're out - permanently. Capital punishment means zero repeat offenders.

All religion should be banned.

Someone should start a new thread called "Justify your very very slightly unpopular opinion so that the usual fktards don't destroy a good thread"

Not for me, if I had to choose between you or my dog, or pretty much anyone on the planet or my dog then sorry, you’re toast. Don’t see why we think we’re more important than any other species.

Don't worry champ, in a few years your dog will be dead. Nobody will care. They probably won't care when you die either.

Brits are generally dishonest, and our history is pretty much all thievery at gunpoint, exploitation or cheating and going back on our word, but we're never taught that. To be fair no country teaches it's kids a fair view of its own history.

The rest of the world thinks we're arrogant dicks who've brought bad times to everybody we've had control over, and they are most probably right.

Tesla cars are over priced, over hyped and over here.

The basis of this opinion are that every single Tesla car I've seen up close and driven has suffered shocking build quality issues for their price sector and have fallen massively short of promised range.

Great acceleration and some lovely design features but that's it.

Give me an ICE.

British society would be better off if people took responsibility for looking after their own parents and their own kids rather than dumping them on the State.

Your not doing it right:

Indeed, but what’s that got to do with the price of eggs? Champ.

Most social workers are incredibly hard working and often sensible people. The ones that hate them the most are most likely those that have had a bad experience and lack the insight to realise its their problems that caused the bad experience.

Madonna is a multi-millionaire and doesn't need my money...she and the rest of the multi-millionaires in the entertainment industry can GTF!

What about all the non multi-millionaire musicians?

Spotify is legal and pays them fk all. I'd rather be a cool poor underground artist, than a cool poor underground artist just as poor but making Spotify money.

It is my opinion that children have no responsibility for their parents. Such responsibility as they have is for their own children. That's how nature works. If you want to have someone look after you when you are too old to do so yourself, then don't have children, invest the money in a better pension instead.
