What are your unpopular opinions? (Vol. 2)

Aside from a decent espresso, "real coffee" leaves me underwhelmed and I'm happy with an instant with milk and sugar.

Max's driving and RB strategy culminated in a stunning victory at Abu Dhabi and topped off a marvelous season. (But only on PH)

Brake calipers are ugly and should be painted black, to blend in visually, not be in lurid colours to make them stand out.

all inclusive hotel holidays regardless of 'star rating' are horrific

Sir, this is a thread for unpopular opinions.

That certainly wont be unpopular on here.

Towns and Cities shouldn't be built around the car as the default form of transport. In doing so you force people into driving when they shouldn't be and it makes driving miserable for everyone due to the concentration of cars that are now getting far too big for the roads they need to traverse.

Judging by the mass cries from the general population when a council tries to do anything to change things to make the alternatives more popular, I'm guessing this opinion is very unpopular!

Children stabbing children is a crime unheard of 20 years ago, such outrages are one of the many
negative consequences of the UKs immigration policy.

I’d be interested to hear the thinking behind this

No supermarket, retail park, shopping centre should be allowed to be built without at least 3 entrances/exits.

Never heard of James Bulger?

He wasn't stabbed; it would likely have been a lot more humane if he had.

Makeup should be banned, especially bright red lipstick, and eye makeup. And hair dye, that needs to go too. And tattoos and piercings.

No!

I believe that this is fundamentally the fault of the family structure, and upbringing within the domestic situation.

Whilst accepting that there are genuine genetic or medical cases that do exist, my belief extends into an (unpopular?) opinion, that there are far too many children who are being wrongly diagnosed or pigeonholed into being an "ADHD" stat, or classified as being "on a scale"

Why do we ignore the fact that the majority of these diagnosed cases are getting near zero affection at home, they are missing parental role models to demonstrate how to behave and conduct themselves, and are under exercised and overweight due to a crap diet of processed rubbish and sugary drinks.

Your "blame it on Johnny foreigner" attitude is obsolete, and reeks of being from a Farage sheep that can't take responsibility for themselves.

Can you imagine the horror shows that young lads wake up to in the morning, once all the war paint is missing???

If they like makeup then I daresay they will be disappointed at the lack of it. I expect they'll get used to the idea once makeup is nothing more that a rather unpleasant memory.

I would like to add that injection thing that makes women's lips look like a trout and whatever is done with eyebrows where it looks like they have been shaved off and then painted back on, inaccurately.

Also, unnecessary vanity surgery, especiually boob jobs, which is inserting two bags of chemicals. Yuk.

Watched a few Wogan interviews and I've jut realised he is so bad and unfunny. He always looks really awkward and the interviews are filled with him looking at the camera like some ironic skit.
And fat shaming Jeff Cohen (Chunk in Goonies) was just not cool even in the 80s.

Wogan. Not a national treasure.

I think your post is one of the many negative consequences of xenophobia. It is not even factually correct to start with, as highlighted by others.

As an immigrant myself, I am actually delighted by how welcoming and open minded the huge majority of people have been in the UK and I'd like to think I have re paid them as an employer, tax payer, exporter and law abiding citizen.
Big fan of diversity too.
