Yes, boys are spending too much time on screens but at the expense of their mental health and social development, it isn’t making them into killers, what if boys are the victims, and propaganda like Adolesence is kicking a man when he’s down?

Brilliant piece. I watched and felt similar. I knew it would fill the media afterwards. Zero respect for the people involved in the series.

I haven’t seen the Netflix series but I was talking to my 30 year old sons about it. They had seen it and with their London liberal elite views swallowed the narrative totally. With your permission Tom I’d like to forward this article to them so they can hopefully get a little balance into their perspective. An excellent article again and thank you.

Please feel free . Please add the last bit that got cut off - Yes, boys are spending too much time on screens but at the expense of their mental health and social development, it isn’t making them into killers, what if boys are the victims and propaganda like Adolesence is kicking a man when he’s down?

What if indeed? I haven’t seen the series but when I heard Starmer recommending it as Gospel I knew it must be misguided or misleading. If it is a case of kicking white boys when they’re down and when the world is stacked against them, then “Adolescence” joins a long queue of clubs with which to beat them. Maybe the Liberal elite and WEF master plan is to make us so browbeaten that we’ll “sue for peace” under any terms a la Versailles? We know how that ended.

Thank you Matthew . I’m really upset by all this. As a father of boys it’s bringing the swinging bat out in me 🤣

Well said Tom. I know many white teenage boys, it's a myth that they are obsessed with the paid establishment actor Andrew Tate. This programme is hateful propoganda and people are falling for it. Poverty is one of the main reasons people turn to crime and people are busy quacking about the programme while the government cut benefits sending more into poverty.

It is hateful isn’t it. Demonic misrepresentation and the schools are now falling over themselves to further impose its message

Adolescence , from my limited social discussion in my elderly group, has certainly fingered white boys,or young men as Keith described them, as dangerous despite daily evidence on the MSM.

Great article Tom thanks.

Hello! Yes, I lost my phone. But it has been returned to the air bb host in Latvia. So, I asked him to send some people my email address so I can contact them! Did he message you?
