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."

"twoleftfeet 1:45 Sat Jul 2 That's not even the worst part about it, shockingly. The fact that this has happened over nothing more than a verbal accusation, for an incident over a decade ago, the apparent crime is him saying 'You lot', and it's the only 'incident' he has ever been accused of. Quite incredible."

It has been widely reported that Michael Vaughan only left the TMS programme due to a few people who have nothing to do with BBC sport complaining. We have become a country where a few people have more power than the majority. Scary times.

Not sure if this have been done on the thread already but I watched Matt Walsh's What is a Woman last night. Trailer is here with a link below to the full film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42ivIRd9N8E&ab_channel=MattWalsh A very informative film about the absurdity of gender ideology and its history. Anyone concerned about gender theory and 'pride' and what is being pushed to their kids at school as normal should absolutely watch this film. They will probably find some reason to ban it soon.

Steve Wright to leave Radio afternoon slot. Scott Mills to replace him. FFS another Eurovision gay presenter. Where's the diversity. It's just the same shit now. Even the brilliant Ken Bruce is involved.

"This islamic caliphate is getting out of hand brainwashing children, sexualising them and confusing them about imaginary made up genders by promoting their filth from the ugly commie depths of the state school's curriculum and throughout their global media. Why is the Frankfurt school's century long march of installing the destructive roots of cultural marxism in the West being called something seemingly so benign and innocuous as ""woke"" now? I wonder what wonderful cute name they'll give the gulags to make it seem so appealing and necessary."

"Bit strange how those championing the alphabet mob stayed quiet when a gay bar in Norway came under attack costing two people their lives. Of course, it could be a total coincidence that the attacker was an Iranian born islamist therefore the gay's were expendable. What a time to be alive eh."

[goose]

Why are we normalising this shit? Brainwashing kids that it’s normal behaviour - these ppl are mentally ill.

"riosleftsock 3:56 Fri Jul 1 If I've read that right I suspect that there will possibly be controversy when some may complain that a real drag queen isn't playing the part! We have already had both Tom Hanks and Eddie Redmayne ""apologise"" for playing gay and trans characters. The problem with all this is people seem to forget it's ""acting"" If Hanks and Redmayne feel the need to apologise then does it potentially put a wall up against a gay or trans actor playing a straight role? With the industry trying to do ""the right thing"" it could create more problems that it solves. My main issue with that article is that it claims Eastenders is ""comfort TV"" when it's arguably the most depressing thing on!"

About 10 grand an episode I reckon.

"This should boost viewing figures......(BBC) EastEnders' first ever drag queen is due to sashay on to Albert Square as a regular character. Fans have been given a sneak peek at Tara Misu, played by Matthew Morrison. Matthew said it was a privilege ""to showcase the creative art of drag"" to viewers and the residents of Walford and to ""represent the LGBTQIA+ community"". ""It's important for people to feel reflected on screen,"" he added. He's joined the cast in the role of Felix Baker, the younger son of Mitch Baker's estranged brother Avery. 'Normalise queer community' Lucas Young, a drag queen by the name of Ms Classpergers who uses the pronouns she/they, says it's significant for a show as big as Eastenders to be ""unapologetically dealing with these issues"". It could have a big impact, Lucas feels, as growing up they didn't see much representation on TV. ""If I had that realisation or opportunity from a younger age, I feel like I would have been able to begin creating more. And knowledge is power. ""The only way we can normalise drag and the queer community is to talk about it and make people aware of the people we are,"" the 23-year-old from the East Midlands tells Radio 1 Newsbeat. Lucas as Ms Classpergers says ""EastEnders is a staple in British culture"" Lucas, who gets regular abuse because of a rainbow-dyed hairstyle, says people ""are so scared of difference and change"". But ""EastEnders, which is a comfort show, can affect change"", they say. Lucas is ""excited to see what conversations"" the show will create and whether ""people who don't necessarily understand the community"" will be more open afterwards. Drag queen Vinegar Strokes gave Matthew some tips to perfect his role In a video posted to the show's social media, Matthew said he'd never done drag before. Lucas's ""knee-jerk reaction"" to this was that having a character who is already a seasoned drag queen would be preferable. ""However, if a person can do it without a drag persona, I don't see anything wrong with it,"" Lucas adds. ""Drag is an expression of an inner part of ourselves that we normally don't get to show. Let's create more drag queens, and as long as they do a good job I don't see an issue with it."" The LGBT history you probably didn't learn in school Pride at 50: The revolution sparked in a basement 'Things should be safer for LGBT people in 2021' To help Matthew perfect his role, Natalie Cassidy, who plays Sonia Fowler, roped in Drag Race UK star Vinegar Strokes to help out."

"zico 2:49 Fri Jul 1 I'm sure there will soon be a Friends REBOOT where the characters are mainly derived from BAME and LGBT communities. These strong, stunning and brave protagonists who have had to battle their whole lives against marginalistation are absolutely committed to tackling the deep rooted systemic issues plaguing our society. From profound social commentaries shared over a coffee in Central Perk to the on again off again relationship between Rose (following Ross' discovery that he / she / they were trans) and Rachel. I, for one, cannot wait."

"""One of the creators of the hit series Friends has donated $4m to her alma mater in an apology for the “embarrassing” whiteness of the show."" Oh dear this is getting silly now.

Maybe they're trying to ditch the Halifax brand on account of it being too pigeon & whippet friendly?
