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."

Re: Woke watch
Is that a rhetorical question about my view on cab drivers and QCs' relative levels of formal education? Leave it out fuckwit.

"Hammer and Pickle ""You're nothing but a simple, common-or-garden reactionary as indicated by your view that the working class is necessarily less well-educated."" As opposed to your view that bricklayers, cab drivers and bin men are more likely to be a graduate than QCs, surgeons or journalists?"

"Well done Citizen Wils, man of the people I don't agree with a lot of what BLM stand for as an organisation but sounds like you are lining up with the simple Trump racists rather than being some champion of the common people."

Re: Woke watch
"Sven Roeder wrote... So you identify with those with inferior education? Well done I have degree. But yes I do stand with those with the less educated, or as some people know them: the working-class. Not a suprise the lefties on here punch down though."

Re: Woke watch
"About time! https://unherd.com/thepost/americans-turn-against-black-lives-matter/ A majority of adults now oppose the movement For the first time since 2018, more Americans now oppose the Black Lives Matter movement than support it. Researchers Civiqs have been tracking public opinion on the activist group every week since 2017, interviewing a total of 278,076 adults across the country. For most of that period BLM has enjoyed majority support. It reached peak popularity (53% support, 28% against) immediately after the killing of George Floyd in June 2020, but has been drifting downwards ever since. Crossover was reached this week, with 44% of the American public opposed to BLM, and 43% in favour. The divisions in the data, perhaps predictably, are strongest among race and partisan lines. 85% of Democrats support the movement; 87% of Republicans oppose it — but independents now tend to be opposed as well, with 49% against and only 34% in favour. White people are the only racial group likely to oppose the movement (53% to 34%) whereas 82% of the Black and African American group remains in favour. Perhaps the most revealing detail in the study was the division along class lines. Support for BLM is highest among the highly educated elite, with postgraduates tilting strongly in favour, and non-college graduates tilting against. This reinforces a common critique of antiracist activists that they are often privileged and out of touch; it will no doubt also add to concerns that highly theoretical concepts like ‘critical race theory’ and ‘equity’ are predominant on university campuses. The researchers did not specify whether the question referred to BLM the broad philosophy, the organisation, or the protests, but it represents a significant shift in a short period of time. Alongside the dramatic drop in public support for President Biden since his election, observers will be keen to see if it represents a broader shift in political attitudes ahead of the midterms next year."

Re: Woke watch
I'm not sure there are any more 'lost souls' Maybe there ARE more mental health issues (fair bit due to SOCIAL MEDIA) but we are also in a world where having a bit of disappointment or a tough time in your life is called MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. Rather than feeling a bit sad or DISGRUNTLED ie the normal ups and downs of life

"I met a woman councillor yesterday who was telling me it had got a lot worse in recent years. I asked why? She said it was lack of resources at the NHS but, were there really loads of lost souls 20 years ago or are people softer?"

Re: Woke watch
What if you're not actually offended by any of this shit but comment on it because you find it all rather amusing? Or is such a stance forbidden and someone will come along shortly to declare you a screaming drama queen (FACT)?

Re: Woke watch
"If the woke brigade had stopped to actually read FMC's post, they'd have notice two things. Firstly, he didn't say it was women's fault. Secondly, far from being misogynistic, he was very complimentary towards women. Thirdly, he's almost certainly right. The world has become somewhat more feminised and consequently more nurturing and liberal. The question is, has the resultant wokeness , spurred on by virtue signalling on SM, all gone way too far? The answer, of course, is yes."
Re: Woke watch
"If you use the word woke you are as bad as the idiots you describe as woke , pc gone mad i tell you by the offended on the right and left. Pathetic the lot of em and sort the real shit out and stop using the little man to fight each other over nonsensical Bull shit. Its all womens fault, dear god stop being g a prick and grow up ."

Re: Woke watch
"This whole woke world we now live in is purely caused by women now having such a big voice in the world, I’m not being misogynistic it’s just facts. Go back a couple of generations and men ran all the high powered jobs, but as women have become more independent and are in positions of power the moral compass of women which is way more tolerant and seeking equality than men has slowly infiltrated the way we live bringing us to the fucked up present day that we live in."
