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."

"Why isnt Alex Scott or some other 'expert female pundit' part of the main presenting team on BBC1's world cup finalbcoverage? I know she is pitchside but everyone knows the big hitters are in always in the studio for the big games. ( Of course, there is a simple answer to the above)"

"Mike Oxsaw 12:00 Fri Dec 16 'My mother absolutely forbid any of us to venture out on frozen lakes' My mum and dad strictly forbade me from doing a host of things. Like any self-respecting working-class lad I took fuck all notice of any of their instructions and ascended crumbling cliffs, climbed creaky trees and delved into drainage outlets and the like. What's happened to the boys is, of course, a tragedy. But, paradoxically, I do hope boys continue to do stupid things even if this does result in the odd fatality. Taking no risks would be an unadventurous and dull childhood for a boy. I suspect it wouldn't be a good thing for the species, either"

Re: Woke watch
It's hard to tell what happened at the lake. The six year old just ran off in excitement then the others went to help him. The one that is a failure of parenting was the 12 year old that got killed whilst riding e scooter to school. One of the ones you hire. So someone with a driving licence and debit card hired it for him and one report sounded like he did that journey regularly. Parents calling for e scooters to be banned. Really sad for them but person who hired it was responsible and should be in prison

Re: Woke watch
"The ""the boys on the lake"" tragedy - for there's no denying that is what it was is for me a failing in parenting overcoming any ""Boys will be boys"" attitude. My mother absolutely forbid any of us to venture out on frozen lakes (I suspect she had witnessed several outcomes of having done so long before she became a mother. Strangely enough, I carried that stance unquestioned through to the point when I became a parent - much to the amusement of the parents of my kids Swedish & Dutch school-friends'' parents."

"SR, you talk as if you have been privy to the sequence of events that ended with four young boys losing their lives in an icy lake incident. How do you know whether or not the older ones did not die as a result of trying to rescue the younger, more unaware of the risks, younger ones?"

Re: Woke watch
You stated that if someone knows the risks associated with their actions there should be no sadness expressed when they die. They shouldnt have been on those boats in that situation but people drowning is a sad event Just as with the boys on the lake. An 11yo should know the dangers and protect the younger boys and himself Thats sad too

"Saw a headline in Haringey Advertiser saying the council were going ahead to change the ""Racist"" name of Black Boy Lane and are changing the name to that of a Trinidadian activist. This was shelved last year as the majority of those consulted disagreed. Massive increase in council tax over the last couple of years and they are spunking money away (£186,000) on ill informed shit like that. I've just written to the chair of the council and suggested that if they want to get rid of a real racist name they should change the name of the Bernie Grant arts centre."

Re: Woke watch
So you arent expressing sadness for the 4 kids who knew the risks of playing on an icy lake in Solihull?

Re: Woke watch
Why express sadness? They knew the risks. I’m more annoyed at the RNLI taxi being called out again.

"Wasn't it nice to hear everybodt's expressions of sadness at the poor MIGRANTS who died in the channel. But aren't all these people ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS engaged in, and benefitting from a criminal enterprise, in trying to break the laws of this country?"
