Toch best gek hoe dat gaat. Dat je gewoon 's avonds aan 's lands best bekeken talkshowtafel kan gaan zitten waar Johan Derksen dingen over neuken roept en Gijp zegt dat het met al onze problemen 'wel meevalt joh ouwe reus', dat daar alles en iedereen door de mangel gehaald mag worden maar dat er ondertussen ook één verboden onderwerp bestaat, namelijk met welke jonge griet je nu weer strontlazarus hebt staan vozen in een openbaar café. Niemand die ooit vraagt waarom dat toch week na week weer lijkt te gebeuren en wat je vrouw en kinderen van die hobby vinden. Ja oké, Marianne Zwagerman begon erover toen je haar openhartige uitspraken zat te ontlokken bij BNR, waarna je achter de schermen jankend en tierend zou hebben geroepen dat ze jou had genaaid. Verder blijft het stil, want je bent immers de prijsstier uit de stal van John de Mol en de scoops komen steevast van Roddelpraat en dat zijn maar walgelijke rechtse rukkertjes. Enniewee, wij gaan 2 augustus met chips en nootjes zitten voor Mi Dushi: wat is dan liefde?, een nieuw SBS-programma waarin Wilfred Genee bekende koppels het hemd van het lijf vraagt over hoe je nu precies een gezonde liefdesrelatie onderhoudt. Misschien wel door en plein public afgelebberd te worden door je voormalige oppas!

Lewd propositions, drunken tirades, groping, grumbling and grubby behaviour – cabin crew have to experience it all, at altitude. They open up about the horrors they’ve seen from passengers and colleagues
Last week, right at the start of this year’s holiday season, a 30-year-old drunk British holidaymaker tried to kiss a male flight attendant on a plane, spent a week in Mallorca presumably thinking his actions were consequence-free, and was then arrested on his way back through Palma airport. In February, Jet2 banned two passengers from the airline for life after a mid-air brawl on a flight from Turkey to Manchester, and last week BA had to cancel a flight back from Barbados, because (some) members of the crew were still too drunk from the hotel bar to operate it. There’s a connection between these incidents, and it’s not just as flight attendant Thomas, 27, puts it: “Well, drunk Brits – you know how that goes”.
The term “air rage” was coined in the 90s, but the behaviour it describes went through the roof post-Covid. In 2021, the number of reported incidents in the US was greater than in the previous three decades combined. A new category of misdemeanour had appeared – mask non-compliance.

At one end of the table sits Tony*, who showers at his local leisure centre in Birkenhead every day. His landlord won’t fix his bathroom because of his hoarding. Then there’s Sarah*, who ended up homeless with her three teenagers after their landlord evicted them because of hoarding. In her new home the problem has started again, but she says she’s petrified to ask for help in case she loses her property.
Sian Cowley, 35, who has struggled with hoarding for decades, says: “I’ve lived without central heating for two years. A lot of us live without the basics like hot water, heating and cooking because we are too scared to get people in to do repairs because of the threat of eviction.”
