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."

"Hippies now gluing themselves to works of arts in galleries. Apparently they are doing it for our own benefit as we are all going to die and we need to stop using oil and gas. Firstly we are all going to die, fact of life I'm afraid. Secondly it should be peoples choice if they want to use gas or oil, not the choice of some hippies still crying over Brexit."

"Southgate represents what so many white middle aged, affluent men in senior management have become. Sanctimonious, bandwagon-jumping, preachy twats. He’s the type you see all over LinkedIn parroting the latest liberal/metropolitan orthodoxies as if they are self-evident truths that nobody should ever question despite the fact that they were only dreamed up by grifters in gender/race critical departments of shit universities a few years ago. They will say anything and everything about how the average man should live his life in this new religion but one thing they will never do is give up their own multi million pound jobs in favour of someone who will make those positions ‘more diverse’."

"Residents will be able to vote down proposed changes to street names under a new law to prevent Left-wing councils removing the names of controversial figures from signs. Ministers are concerned that Labour and Liberal Democrat councils have bowed to pressure from activists and are changing street names to prevent offence. The Government will on Tuesday announce new legislation that will require all councils in England to consult with residents and businesses and hold a vote on any suggested name changes, with a third of residents able to vote down the council’s suggestion. The idea follows a consultation and an announcement by Sadiq Khan, the London mayor, of grants worth £1 million that will partially be used to fund street name changes. Mr Khan is concerned that some streets in the capital bear potentially offensive names, such as Black Boy Lane in Haringey, north London. The council changed the road’s name to La Rose Lane, after the poet and activist John La Rose, despite objections from local residents earlier this year. Sharon David, 55, who lives there, said at the time that “changing a street name is not the answer” to dealing with racism. In south London, Lambeth Council held a consultation with local residents over whether Tulse Hill, a neighbourhood, should be renamed because of its link to Sir Henry Tulse, a 17th century merchant and London mayor who derived the majority of his wealth from the slave trade."

"I realise that this is an upsetting time for you lot, but you realise that this advert would have happened in the same way, with the same lines, no matter who the England manager was? It could have been Pards, it could have been BFS, it could have been Mark Sampson - it would have been EXACTLY the same. It's an advert. I hope you all recover though."

It’s all a bit too much for me at the moment. Having only just got over being exposed to way too much male toxicity in that homophobic and sexist movie Top Gun Maverick I now have to decide on which pronouns to use? Modern life is shit.

"""Hope United"" sounds exactly like the sort of shitty team name you'd find often mentioned in some obscure, syndicated, black & white, 525-line American 50s sit-com. Need to fuck all this bullshit of and simply say ""You're included unless I state otherwise."""

That Home Office EDICT is definitely a bit of arm twisting basically telling you you arent inclusive if you dont add your pronouns. Perhaps Mr Pincher was behind it wanting to know who on the public sector staff was definitely male so he could get hold of their cocks? I have no problem with people who may sense some confusion or are a bit sensitive adding them if THEY (he / her / whatever) want. Only confusion in my office was when a new recruit mentioned how it was good that we were diverse enough to have a TRANS employee. Luckily said to someone else as was referring to a woman with a strong jawline & Serena Williams resemblance. hahaha Oh and the woman who has a male christian name (have never heard a woman have this name) ..... luckily she is an absolute babe (NO LINK) so confusion is quickly eradicated by the picture on her email

Has any employer EVER insisted that employees display pronouns on email or name badges? After hearing all the hysteria about Halifax I read they had said employees could (COULD) put pronouns on their badges if they wanted to.
