Woke watch

[arsene york-hunt]

"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."

"IoC It is really a simple choice, mate. You just weigh up the benefits and subtract the minuses. If overall it is not in your interests to be a member you opt out. Or you can just pick and choose the services/functions you like and leave those you don't alone. You can also have a voice on it to influence its direction. The real point however is that the LGA had issued guidance. Whether you like or adopt that guidance is down to you. No one was, or is, being forced to do anything and to present it such is disingenuous and self-serving."

"Fo the Communist 1:41 Thu Oct 6 I have no practical working knowledge how it works in England with this organization but in similar instances I have worked around, chosing not be aligned with them and often their political agendas, mean being shut off from funding sources and a powerful lobby mechanism. It is not a simple choice of joining or not, without cost."

"""The LGA is an organisation which local councils are free to join"" At a cost of over £60k per year for Newham which no local authority could possibly afford as you reliably informed me last week they are all starved of funds and have been for a decade."

"Just wondering are there any countries in Africa, the Middle East or Asia that are Woke?"

"A dozen senior US judges have promised a hiring boycott of graduates of Yale Law School in response to claims of ""cancel culture"" at the prestigious institution, accusing it of undermining free speech and intellectual diversity. It comes after a federal Court of Appeals judge appointed by Donald Trump, the former US president, declared he would no longer hire clerks from Yale Law School, after criticising angry students for disrupting conservative speakers. In a speech to members of the influential conservative group the Federalist Society, Judge James Ho railed against censorship targeting conservatives on law school campuses across the country. The judge, who sits on the US Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, cited a number of incidents at schools in which prominent figures had faced ""campus vitriol"". He singled out Yale - consistently ranked as the top law school in the US - for particular criticism, saying the institution ""not only tolerates the cancellation of views, it actively practices it""."

"This could be renamed the knee jerk thread. Pick up a suggestion, mislead yourself that it’s a fact and post it up on here as a fait accompli."

4 stabbed in Bishopsgate this morning after commuters tried to stop people knicking bikes. Happy to potentially kill someone for a pushbike ffs!

"The LGA is an organisation which local councils are free to join (or not join) as they wish. It has no power to compel a local council - whether a member or not - to do anything that council doesn't want to do. Councils are free to leave the organisation if they feel out of step with its thinking. As I said yesterday, the wilful misinformation unthinkingly regurgitated by the ant-woke brigade is just as insidious as daft workery itself."

"""The Inclusive Language Guide was issued by the Local Government Association"" Doesn't the fact that this is a guide issued by an association and has no direct bearing on policy or decision-making say anything to you? Maybe you have a point because someone gets paid to do this. And yes, it should have been spent on teaching maths to kids in a rub-down area but really - fury about orders to BAN people from saying 'mum' or 'dad' is NONSENSE."

It seems that there is no limit to the number of straws a woke camel can bear with ease.

And yet the word cunts for all is very welcome

"Now we're not allowed to say 'mum' and 'dad'! Fury as councils are ordered to BAN 'offensive' traditional terms and replace them with woke phrases like 'birthing partner' A language guide tells councils to use 'birthing parent' instead of 'mum and dad' The Inclusive Language Guide was issued by the Local Government Association It informs hundreds of councils about what language they can and cannot use 'Expat', 'second generation', 'economic migrant' and 'homeless' are also banned"

"Madness is expecting EVERYBODY to give up using fossil fuels NOW when adequate, secure, stable, economically viable renewable alternatives will not be available for that same EVERYONE for at least another 10 years. Madness is Extinction Rebellion gluing themselves to roads & works of art rather than using that energy insulating people's homes for them."

As with everything its a one way street in wanky woke world. Just imagine the reaction if it was even suggested that Bradd Pitt was to play the lead role in a re make of Ghandi or Hugh Jackman was to be cast as Malcolm X. Fucking uproar wouldnt come close.

😴😴😴😴

[Hammer and Pickle]

"It’s silly, I agree. But is it really madness? Are you sure? Madness is relying on fossil fuels when there are so many clean alternatives available. Or fucking up the education system. Or believing the EU is the Soviet Union. Or being stuck in the 19th Century in most of one’s thinking about the world."

Can we all agree that Emily Pankhurst was white? Can we all agree that Emily Pankhurst is not a fictional character? So why are the Old Vic theatre “ delighted “ to announce that Beverley Knight will take the lead role as Pankhurst in an upcoming musical production of her life. Madness.

Pickle tell me the big stars war monkee called toebakka is a wokey?

[Hammer and Pickle]

Not me but no wonder Vegans are so uptight being in meat space and all.

[bruuuno]

"I’d stab a wokey, shoot him with a gun. Who’s with me?"

[Nurse Ratched]

Are you running psy-ops on behalf of the Vegan Society?

[Hammer and Pickle]

Maybe they're all howling at the moon for want of access to your meat space?
