1. I lived in London 1972-75 and feel responsible.

I wrote a poem in a very cold church (where we could see our breath while singing Christmas carols) about the English...

Please wake up the English
They're living in a dream
Asleep in their antique beds
Pondering the Queen.
The dream became a nightmare
And cobwebs filled their heads
Now wood rot and dust prevails
O'er the antique beds
The alarm sounded long ago
But the English slept right through
What they need is a mighty shove
And a cock a doodle doo.

I was so wrong!! Going to the pub after any discomfort or joyous occasion was the best experience of my time there because socializing was just the best. I even ran into Graham Chapman in the pub. Prime Monty Python.

I do blame the same social networking that has plagued us.

Come home!!

2. That's apparently a largely AI-generated YouTube channel posting stuff designed to hurt Labour and

probably help Nigel Farage. That channel was created less than 3 months ago, already has 137 videos, is using AI for some art so likely using AI to write the scripts, and that may also be an AI voice. I very much doubt that's "a terminally ill man documenting my journey while exposing the truth about the UK’s decline."

9. Thanks for your thorough internet sleuthing but.....

it doesn't address my fundamental question in the title or my concerns addressed in the text. I have a lot of fond memories from my 50s and 60s America where healthy, direct human interactions were a way of life.

I don't always take the time to research the history and credibility of every video I watch on YouTube, so thanks for forwarding your observations. Everything on the internet these days seems to have potentially evil motives, particularly with AI encroaching into everything.

3. Please look at their other videos. They're right wing. Please don't fall for this AI slop.

4. Everything is about money. They've renovated the character out of everywhere.

Everyone is working to pay the bills and payoff their digital life by hyper-usage of their IT and digital networks. The money, the energy, the time, the people have gone indoors and are concentrating on something else. But they are frantic.

5. This channel is DEFINITELY from Reform UK. Nigel Farage. See their very first video, attacking both

Labour and the Tories:

The entire channel is RW British propaganda. Populist propaganda, but it's anti environmentalist, anti anyone woke, anti immigrant.

Please delete your OP.

7. Thank you. The longer this stays up the more people should become aware & more careful of video origins

before posting.

AI videos like this that go viral are psyops, and easily as toxic to humans and to public discourse as mainstream propaganda outlets -- especially that so-called "Descriptive text"!

6. This is rubbish

I live part of the year in England and travel all over, including hiking (not just being trapped in a car) and rarely where tourists go.

Don't believe the slop.

8. Stop falling for propaganda. Fuck this AI slop.
