Constructive feedback from a long time watcher.... Please please please record your videos with a higher max volume.This has been an issue with past content but now that you are making this much longer content, its much more of a challenge. A higher volume allows the people who watch youtube on their smart tv's to actually watch and listen in a household where there are other sounds nearby. Also, with Simon's soft sentence transitional tone, it makes him easier to understand to non-british listeners. Keep up the nice work folks! And make sure you let Simon outside every once in awhile.

One problem with uk armed forces recruitment is that the high street recruiting offices were closed several years ago. You could walk into a recruiting office, talk to an actual member of whichever branch you were interested in, and potential be in uniform just a matter of weeks later. Under the new system one of those widely discredited contracting companies the government uses ( frequently at some financial benefit to some member of the government or their relative) is hopelessly inefficient and completely not fit for purpose. The process takes months, by which time many potential recruits have gone off to do something else in frustration.

As soon as a protest turns violent, it's not a protest. It's a riot. Riots are related to a protests. Rioting is kind of like protesting's less friendly cousin. A riot can be done with a fervor of resistance to something much like a protest. However, it does not meet the qualifications to be a protest and has consequences far more dire than a protest. More often than not a riot will galvanize the rioters' opponents. It will make them all the more willing to perform an action the rioters didn't want. The collateral damage of the riot will also bolster the ranks of the opponents.

Anyone Muslim nations want to report the Sudan war for possible genocide? ANYONE WILL DO. Curious low interest in this conflict, no Jews involved though so makes sense. “Unfortunately we have to wipe them all out, including the children” South Africa is crickets now for some reason, the victims are even black africans but still, crickets.
