    Yeah, they're a little smaller thus cheaper and their entertainers wear blue coats instead of red apparently.

    I used to love Pontins. We used to go off the back of the Super Soaraway Sun's £10 holidays. Properly depressing good fun.

    Edit: I just remembered I won a dance competition and won some watch. Fucking hell I must have looked like a twat.

    Streaming platform Twitch has backtracked on a new policy to change its spelling of "women" after criticism from transgender communities.

    The company had said it would use the term "womxn" in order to be more gender neutral in its language.

    But LGBT communities online called the change transphobic because it suggested trans women were not women.
    I feel like I'm living inside an episode of Brass Eye or something sometimes.

    Those recipe articles with someone's life story are really annoying but most #contentcreators I've seen talking about them basically admit they know they're shit and annoying but they have to do it for search engine optimization or some shit.

    Of course it’s that bad. One of, if not the best trainer of racehorses has been exposed for not actually giving a shit about horses in his yard. This has come a fortnight before the biggest horse racing event of the year (Ascot can suck a dick) and now the majority of owners are removing the horses from his yard and moving them elsewhere - including the highly coveted, unbeaten, odds-on favourite for the Mares Novice Chase, Envoi Allen.

    Then on the back of the leaked photo of Gordon Elliott straddling a dead horse and flipping the peace sign, a video of jockey Rob James comes out of him pretending to shag a different dead horse. Yet another person who is expected to put a horses welfare above anything else, yet he’s seen having a laugh over a dead horse. Disgraceful.

    There’s also rumours of Elliott using a cattle prod thingy on a horse called Labaik, and shooting another horse and just leaving it out on the field for other horses to see, but I don’t think there’s any evidence of this [yet].

    Gonna be a weird Cheltenham festival with most of Elliott’s horses under someone else’s name, no amateur jockeys and no crowd.

    Anyone that thought race horse owners cared about their horses beyond their money making properties is a bit of an idiot.

    Anyone who thinks people involved with horse racing don’t care about horses is a bit of an idiot.

    For a start, Gordon Elliott is a trainer, not an owner.

    Part of the owners team, then. The whole sport is rife with dead horses. Nobody cares.

    I'm sure there are those who do care but being involved in horse racing doesn't strike me as the best way to express that.

    I reckon of all the 'big' sports, horse racing is probably in the most long-term trouble. Maybe rugby union as well once the steroid and concussion problems get ennumerated.

    Yeah, there'll be some stable hands and vets whose dream it is/was to work with horses, but that's about it. We're talking about a sport that pumps these animals full of poison to make them run faster, run for longer and jump higher, then puts a bullet between their eyes when they get injured doing so. It is not a long hop between not caring about that shit and actually finding it funny.

    In my admittedly limited experience horses arent too bothered by the sight of dead horses. They know exactly what the fucking van that collects them is about though.

    Horse racing is entirely dependent on gambling and as such has almost nothing to do with the animals themselves. The most bent past time in existence and it's what more idiots than you can count choose to bet on every day. Incredible really.

    Indeed, but now that you can gamble on everything under the sun, horse racing's constituency is smaller than ever. Chuck in a load of animal welfare concerns and you've got a bit of a problem, I think.

    That said, boxing involves beating people up and aiming for significant head injury on live TV and the public still seem to get stoked for 'big fights', so who knows what these things can weather.

    Boxers do it fully aware of their doping and brain damage risk, mind.

    Horse Racing is just shit. I'm no Animal Rights nutter, so I generally don't pay to much attention to it, but it probably should be banned if Animal Welfare is a thing we take seriously and, again, it's baffling that anyone that likes it could be surprised by the complete lack of care the horses are shown by their owners.

    It's the same as Greyhound racing. We had an ex-racing Greyhound when I was a kid. We got him from a rescue home, where he had eventually ended up after someone found him in a field having been shot with an airgun. They are racing tools, not animals.
