Woke watch
"There is a very good section on GB news where the ludicrous idiocies of Wokeness are looked at I thought we would should have one for WHO. I'll start with Baptiste on BBC: In Hungary,an ambassador's family are kidnapped by Islamic terrorists and carry out atrocities. At the end of the last episode Baptiste finds out that it is a false flag operation and conveniently, the real culprits are white supremacists who want to stop all immigration. Coronation Street ITV a gay black footballer is stopped by the police, because he is driving an expensive car. He is pushed to the ground during an altercation, and damages his leg threatening his career. Could have been written by Dawn Butler or a BLM activist."

"Irons I got out of journalism around 15 years ago precisely because the industry was getting lazier and lazier and getting its news as cheaply as it could. And, yes I was a (miniscule) part of that degeneration. But the forces at work were not strategic decisions based on furthering political or social aims, they were those that I have mentioned. Take it or leave it mate but those were my experiences from the business end. (And despite any political leanings I was still happy to sell stories to the right-wing press of William Hague wearing BLIAR cuff-links). If you want to read up on the decline of news then try Nick Davies' Flat Earth News. A bit outdated but good nevertheless. I accept (and thanks for) your correction re the status of the hearing but the point remains. It is a constitutional hearing into a matter of great importance and as such, is always going to get coverage, again for the reasons given."

Re: Woke watch
Stop talking bollocks sore cock. It’s just hysteria so pudgy middle-aged men can turn that wonderful shade of purple. Time to calm down and pull yourself together. Years ago you’d be disgusted from Tunbridge Wells whining about political correctness gone mad.

Snowflake - you don’t change so you. The coverage of the different protests were different because they were fundamentally different protests in nearly every way.

"What is that saying that goes along the lines of ""All evil needs to flourish is for good men to do nothing""? Well, woke IS evil and I strongly suspect that Capitol and his ilk certainly regard themselves as ""good men""."

"twoleftfeet It is exactly the same push for the normalisation of the perverse and depraved as 1930's German Weimar Republic, which is why they voted in the NSDAP to put a stop to it."

"Fo the Communist 3:18 Fri Jul 30 You seem to try to get me to think you were a very naive, lazy journalist with most of your post. And that is not you, you carefully insert your political views into most posts. Lots of thing are raw and emotive - like the police experience in many protests/riots - if you frame it that way. Is also raw and emotive if you frame it from the protester's point of view. It is the height of naivety or deception to pretend you cannot make things emotive or not on on side or the other. It is not a US government investigation by the way - is the showplace of Congressional hearings, there is no burden of proof. And the government is not a Congressional Committee."

"Capitol. They don't make me cry, they make me angry. But people like you just let it slide by which is great until one day you realise that a lot of things that you once took for granted are no longer acceptable. But hey stay quiet and say nothing that's exactly what the citizens of Germany did in the 1930s."

Re: Woke watch
FOMB - there’s a channel to pander to you whiny little victims. Even appears to be a section on how people are being mean to you - how those wokies give you wobbly lips. How are you not embarrassed to post this stuff.

"Irons. All I can say is, in my experience, two of the biggest factors governing the output of news outlets is 1 - what the rest of the media are running with and 2 - convenience. I am not saying that is how it should be, I am saying that's how it is. I would share your suspicion if this story was of no importance or interest but that's just not the case. This was emotive, raw testimony from an ongoing US government investigation into one of the most remarkable news events of our time."

"Fo the Communist 2:59 Fri Jul 30 I'm well aware of the process of how stuff is streamed having served part of my apprenticeship monitoring just such events when it meant tearing down telephone lines to bring such feeds into the country. These days there are multiple sources and multiple recipients; a UK news station, for instance can decide to take it's US feeds from one of many similar commercial ventures in the USA. Each will have their own particular slant they want on news coming out of the US."

"Fo Again what the headline is and whether it is highlighted, put on the front page, is a concious and important choice. It doesn't just happened and it did not happen with other international important events involving police. So repeatedly and shruggingly going to the lazy journalist well does not cut it. There are choices being made; it is naive or deceptive to pretend there isn't."

"Mike It would have been reproduced by news outlets in the same way that that UK outlets take stuff streamed from the Houses of Parliament. You don't think PMQs, for instance, is conducted in front of banks of TV news cameras do you? It is about as cheap and convenient a way of filling schedules as you can get. And in the case in point, it also happens to be coverage of an investigation into what, by anyone's standards, were truly remarkable events. Frankly it would have been very suspicious if this coverage hadn't been aired."

I just rang the West Ham ticket office. I notice the hold music is a new version of Bubbles sung with very obvious black voices.

"One of the best reviewers on YT is Critical Drinker. Here is his take on the last episode of Dr Who - The Timeless Children, in which he manages to reference a teddy bear with an 18"" black dildo for a head and razor blades on his legs in order to get his point across. If you don't have time, just watch the first three minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlGQgfXtC40"

I'm still trying to work out who decides the point at which an employee becomes more important to the commercial company employing them that the job they are employed to do.
