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."

"Yorkammer 9:07 Tue Feb 7 You think the way to solve those problems is with more racism, sexism & discrimination, just the 'right' kind? Bravo."

"J.Riddle 9:10 Tue Feb 7 'Homicide"". What happened to Murder?' Barely intelligible Spanish-speaking football manager: Our team play good. Have the right mentality today The Sporting Press and shit English managers: Yeah! We love you Jose/Pep/Jurgen. Mentality. Mentality. Mentality. SurfaceAgentX2Zero: It's attitude, you cunts. Attitude. Why are you apeing a foreigner who can't find the right word?"
Re: Woke watch
"Unfortunately Yorkammer that is the problem. Racism, discrimination, sexism, etc have gone from being unacceptable to being actively encouraged as a means of retribution against the 'historic oppressors'. Group identity politics is ALL about discrimination. It promotes it, but describes it as a battle for recognition. Theyre not trying to break down barriers or call for equality, but to make greater divisions and promote their group individuality based on group characteristics."
Re: Woke watch
"As said like gangster rap and other crap from the USA sent over I read the Guardian headline ""Police investigating double Homicide"". What happened to Murder? On another note I read Netflix are making a film with Oprah Winfrey about 6668 the only all black women unit in ww2 based in Birmingham in the UK to sort troops unsent post and guess what they claim the black women were racially abused by the backward English natives. Sounds like Harry and Meghans narrative."
Re: Woke watch
"What an awful future for the kids of today. They'll be growing up in a culture where racism, homophobia, discrimination of minorities and sexism are no longer considered as acceptable."

Re: Woke watch
"By what process does absolute bollocks such as critical race and queer theory get from university debating chambers (in fucking America), written into policy in Britain and from thence into actual law by our cretinous political classes whilst bypassing the vast majority of us by? They’re all captured by this fuckwittery as well. It’s not as if we can fuck it off at the ballot box. All this has come about under a so called conservative government."

"Nailed it, Stubbo. White working/lower-middle class boys are absolutely fucked in this country, but no one gives a fuck about them. Sad, given that's the demographic who built the country. What a tragic place it's become. The woke white middle to upper class are the ones who created this shit, but they don't have to worry about the consequences, they have their trust funds. Still, as long as they can shout GAMMON when facts are thrown their way, who cares."

Re: Woke watch
A couple of hundred years ago we would all have been serfs to the landed gentry. Women had no voice of note. There’s no virus. There is a land of plenty where people become decadent. This always happens. You cant fight it as no one is really struggling.

"Spot on stubbo. We are in the ludicrous situation where rational logical sensible people are marginalised by the hysterical non thinking majority. This really is the beginning of the demise of our society, I’m glad I don’t have kids. If we think it’s bad now just imagine what it will be like in 20 years when todays uni students are in senior positions. Frightening"
Re: Woke watch
"Personally I think this woke bullshit is all bigger than national politics. It's a thought virus taking over the entire western world. Radical leftist crackpots formerly confined to dusty university halls have somehow been allowed to come to the fore as thought leaders. Opportunistic organisations like Stonewall, whose reason d'etre had fundamentally expired have jumped on a ludicrous cause to ensure their existence. Climate change....another opportunity for people to make a lot of money, despite increasing levels of contrary evidence emerging, you challenge the narrative makes you a tinfoil hat wearer. And don't get me started on the cowing to the cries of ""racist"" and ""hate speech"". 90% of the population of asked would still classify racism in the way Martin Luther King fought to eradicate....don't see the colour, see the individual. Racism now is about anyone who doesn't actively positively discriminate on the basis of those very characteristics that MLK wanted everyone to be blind to. And yet this redifinition has just been accepted into the mainstream without a hint of ""you fucking what?!"" By anyone, because if the fear of being dubbed racist by the original.definition of the word. The western world is off to the dogs, rapidly. I have times where I'm genuinely concerned for my young kids and the madnesses they will be exposed to in places that are supposed to have their best interests at heart."

"BRANDED Agree with Paras 1 and 2, entirely - anything for power. Best be minded of the Liberal Party to see where that leads Funny enough, those of the centre are rarely solidly convictional centrists, more frequently wafty of mind and politics - closet what's in it for me whilst publicly right on liberals - hence the opinion poll capers As of the youth, been a while since I was one so can't honestly comment. All I can say is that my kids and their pals developed a sudden interest in taxes, what they are spent upon and why once they left the common room and started earning a crust"

Re: Woke watch
Crass I think the left embraced any minorities that would listen in the 90s to get a majority. This meant they had to also embrace their ideas not just ask for their vote. They cant insult these people. Power is captured. The problem the left now have is how many of their old base will tolerate this obvious nonsense and for how long? I assume it depends on the strengths of the economic ideas. I see large swathes of the centre are also unable to offend so go along with this crap. Although I do see some movement as they learn what exactly is going on. A lot of the youth are indoctrinated. They may be lost.

"Crass. No one is getting carried away - see Roy Jenkins' Ming vase analogy which I know resonates with the leadership. Eerie. Fair enough indeed, mate. That's the beauty of civilised English discourse isn't it. But don't think I am trivialising the woke debate. I may be coming at it from a different perspective but it is far from a trivial issue - whoever of us us right."

Re: Woke watch
"Fo the Communist 3:54 Tue Feb 7 You are completely trivialising what is actually happening. Which is fair enough, if you want to overlook reality that's your right to do so. We couldn't disagree more."
Re: Woke watch
"Fo It is difficult to imagine the Tory's could have conceived a more catastrophic administration had they tried. Funny enough when all the talk was of the 'red wall' I was espousing that was the least of their problem, they were and now have, blown bloody great holes in their own blue version Not quite so sure that it's all down to Starmer but that aside, your chaps would be well advised to control their excitement, after all opinion polls have been rather amusingly incorrect before"

Re: Woke watch
"Crass. All good here, cheers. Labour's vagueness on trans issues irritates me too. So much grief on a matter of so little general interest. It's symbolic of a party trying too hard not to upset what it perceives to be an element of its core vote that is feels it has to keep happy. The irony is that those most vocal in defending a woman's right not to be confronted by swinging-dick blokes in their own spaces (for which they have fought long and hard are also within the party. As ever, some odd dynamics playing out. Re your last point, Labour is currently polling at around 50 percent. It's clearly speaking for some people, even if it's chiming with a body politic not of your own persuasion. Aided and abetted by the Tories of course, Starmer's achievement as leader have gone far beyond what I would have predicted."
Re: Woke watch
"BRANDED Afternoon my old China ''Is not the issue the perceived offence taken by left, right and centre by language deemed offensive and the degree to which a philosophy in partnership with power can put that right?'' In a word no It's more an issue of remote and minority pressure groups being given a disproportionate platform by a metrocentric media, political class and a self serving legal system. Woe betide anyone suggest that there are more immediately important and pressing issues, they are immediately far right 'gammons' - an amusing racist pejorative at that And as for the young lemon, he sounds like one of those Ruperts that drive a Range Rover from the home counties to park and obstruct the M25 Is he a bird with a dick by chance or just aspiring to be so? ;)"
Re: Woke watch
"All good thanks Fo and trust you are too My point on the 'gammon' bit is that it's a term from the left to describe those who object to the rise of dappy wokism - you don't hear those of the right using it Interestingly enough, I also note that any body, individual or collective who sits outside the modern liberal left is now classified as 'Far Right', another ludicrous catch all for centre, centre right or even modest right, when in reality, rarely out of the SS school of thought I'd suggest that most Tory friends opine 'we are where we are on their watch' because those who are, are not Tory's Mind you, it does amuse me when your mob get into all sorts of bother on gender based Arthur and Martha interviews and cover all economic matters by spending more upon the public service by further taxing the private If any half sensible politician, Labour or Tory, stood up, called a bird a bird and reined in racial untruths, 'Syrian' boat people from Albania and the duplicitous 'Green' tax offensive that few outside of a student hall or Brighton actual vote for, then they would be on a march to No10"
