Woke watch

Post 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."

"British businesses must embrace ""progressive"" values such as net zero and adopt ""active diversity and inclusion strategies"" if they want to attract Gen Z workers, according to the head of the UK's biggest business group. Tony Danker, director general of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), will tell a Future of Work conference that young people are increasingly making career choices based on a company's social values, insisting: “It’s no longer just they work for us – we have to work for them.” In a speech in London, Mr Danker will urge business to be ""progressive - with a small p"", adding that: “Without strong societal values, a central sense of purpose, a commitment to better employee lives, and active diversity and inclusion strategies, you will lose the talent war.” He will say that ""younger workers especially are looking for value and purpose in their jobs"" and are willing to ""challenge"" senior leaders on ""net zero credentials, commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, or public advocacy"". Mr Danker will say: ""More than ever, it is a competition about values: the values a company holds and the values of work it promotes. Much of this is driven by the different generations now in the workforce, and their expectations of how business should contribute to their own lives and wider society."""

"stewie griffin 9:09 Tue Feb 28 Totally agree, total silence and zero accountability. I also noticed that Idris Elba is getting grief for coming out and saying he just considers himself an actor, not a black actor. The angry little man John Boyega seems one of those most upset. Re the sanitising of books and film. I have no issue with placing a warning, no matter how stupid, on things, as it covers yourself from the idiots who will be offended, as you can say well we did warn you and you still chose to read or watch it. But why place a warning on something you have sanitised and dumbed down?! If a roller coaster might have a one in a billion chance of giving you a heart attack fair enough put a warning on it. But you wouldn't put a warning, plus straighten out and level the coaster and limit it to 20mph at the same time would you?!"

There isn't a shred of decency amongst them. No ownership, accountability or responsibility. And every one will jump on the next cause that comes along. Absolute vermin who should all be charged as an accessory to murder."

"Content warnings are often given over fears that audiences might be disturbed by upsetting language or violence on stage, but it is a culinary scene in an upcoming play that now has producers walking on eggshells. The Young Vic has warned theatregoers that a new production “involves the handling of cooked egg”."

"Greta Thunberg has been taking part in a five-day protest blocking the entrance to Norway's energy ministry to protest against wind turbines. Miss Thunberg was specifically demonstrating against wind turbines built on land traditionally used by indigenous Sami reindeer herders. ""Indigenous rights, human rights, must go hand-in-hand with climate protection and climate action. That can't happen at the expense of some people. Then it is not climate justice,"" she said while sitting outside the ministry's main entrance with other demonstrators. Norway's supreme court in 2021 ruled that two wind farms built in central Norway violated Sami rights under international conventions, but the turbines remain in operation more than 16 months later"

There was a thing in the paper about schools teaching ‘gender neutral’ terms in foreign languages. But surely that’s impossible? My Italian is terrible but there are feminine & masculine versions or words - nothing in between. How would Sam smith cope?

"Bond Goes Woke! https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/21516916/ian-fleming-bond-novels-reworded-racist-material/ Ian Fleming’s classic Bond novels have been re-worded to remove racist material “This book was written at a time when terms and attitudes which might be considered offensive by modern readers were commonplace. “A number of updates have been made in this edition, while keeping as close as possible to the original text and the period in which it is set.” The changes result in some depictions of black people being reworked or removed."

"A US diversity officer who claimed to be of Latino, South Asian and Arab descent has been outed by her own mother as “white as the driven snow”. Muslim activist Raquel Evita Saraswati, 29, is the chief equity, inclusion and culture officer of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), a Quaker organisation that fights globally for peace and social justice. But her mother, Carol Perone, says she has “chosen to live a lie”. “I call her Rachel,” she told The Intercept, adding that she was born Rachel Elizabeth Seidel. “I don’t know why she’s doing what she’s doing. I’m as white as the driven snow and so is she."

"Mad Dog 1:23 it was a masterpiece. Very cutting, accurate in it's depiction of them and to the point but viewed through their classic lens of toilet humour and analogies with what the kids were doing at school. So farcical that the couple don't even have grounds to really complain about the 'Prince of Canada' and his 'stupid wife'. Even though they deny they were considering a lawsuit, which I bet they were, but realised it would make them look even bigger arseholes. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64730600"
