"Accept certain inalienable truths: prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders." (Words by Mary Schmich)
Speaking as an old punk, bollocks to that! Things were shit, then they got shittier. There was a brief period where people seemed to be half decent to one another, but w@nkers like Farage stepped and put the kybosh on that, and enshittification took over, ensuring things got even shittier.
😍🤩respect 🫡😻🤝🙏🫶
Larry, was it you I saw on the final episode of Hostage? I searched for you in every episode.
That’s basically attempting to normalize the sweeping Nazi actions currently happening.
When I was younger I saw the injustice being done to my brothers and sisters only because of their skin color! A war being fought only because of politicians wanted the war machine to grind out profits! Kids in college being shot down because they dared to speak up about that war! I stood up!
Once upon a time we had at least claimed to be 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑑, which meant there were limits to any overt hypocrisy. But now, now we celebrate greed, petty cruelty and denigration of others for sport.
OMG I just realized I fantasize about 1990 prices! That means I’m really old😂
Just read your comment and thought ‘geez, that was 25yrs ago’ 🫠
25? Try 30+ 😮😮
Stop lying! 1997 was not a long time ago!
I am not about to burst your bubble!🤣🤣🤣. I lie to myself also.
Great words from our Dear Leader 😸
I am old, and nobody in the past stood for all the things I stand for. The time is now, or alas, things will inevitably slide backwards into the worst of humanity.
Thank you Larry. Isn’t this from the Magna Carta?
Perfect, Larry.
"wear sunscreen"
Indeed.. I was coming here to say.. but what about sunscreen?!? 😆😎
Larry lives in England. Not much sunscreen is required. 😆
That is a fallacy. See number 8 in particular. news.cancerresearchuk.org/2023/07/31/1...
“Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good Be nice to your siblings, they're your best link to your past And the people most likely to stick with you in the future Understand that friends come and go But a precious few, who should hold on”
So wise.
Wear Sunscreen!
But what about the sunscreen, Larry?
But don't forget the sunscreen
Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.
So true. I had bad knees at 14 so that resonated then. At 44, I've just had a knee replacement. Quote this to all the youngsters and they look at me like I've got 3 heads!
Your podium is transcendent 😀
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Preach, Larry!
Oh Larry the Cat masterminds, this is not the Larry the Cat that we know, who is usually scathing but not depressing about government from the No 10 viewpoint. Is Larry ill?
Superior to many current GOP/MAGA candidates.
Larry, how many times have I told you not to leave your rat on the speaker's pulpit outside No 10.

I love LtC! 🤗
Truer words were never spoken. We do have a future though, a future which could be wonderful. Sadly most politicians have lost their way. They have a duty to represent those who vote for them and if that means going against the party line, so be it. Most are scared to do so.
I love you, wise Larry. I so wish you were on this side of the pond, running our government.
🎯
Pawsome feline sagacity, Larry!
Perhaps I'm not as old as I thought. My fantasy is that we cool and now kids are just stupid
Were cool.
Please quote my post please 😭🙏
Sadly Larry, we're at the point where life on earth is imperiled,we may not be able to grow food, a madman has usurped the richest country in the world with the help of its greatest adversary,and the young can no longer dream of home ownership or having children. Those are all firsts.
Larry go catch a mouse.
Meowpurrpurr. Meow.
That's the most sense to come out of Number 10 in over two decades.
You got everything right except noble politicians! There has always been a some FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, are notable but now you can only find very few. Now it’s about prestige & making money !
Wear sunscreen!
Larry I can’t accept the utter desecration of the country my ancestors fought to create; freedoms its Founding Fathers enshrined in the Constitution being destroyed, essentially s*** upon by a vile twisted pedo who perverts power for personal gain; destroying🇺🇸& any humanity it had…&🤬Congress says OK
I would also love it when elders respect the children.
First came across this in Baz Luhrman's Everybody's Free (to Wear Sunscreen) and has lived with me since 1997
Trust me, i'm the sunscreen
I don't know why you don't get asked on more podcasts
IKR?
Travesty!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, Our next, 100% smarter, 100% better-looking president of the USA!!! So cute!!!
Larry, we need cats to take over! 🧡😻
That's why they say ignorance is bliss.
