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."

This site has it's own gammon? Brave enough to name him?

[Yorkammer]

At least the site gammon can take some joy in Lineker being cancelled for his views.

"Gary Lineker to step back from presenting Match of the Day until agreement reached on social media use... Meanwhile, Sunak gives France another half billion pounds for them to do fuck all with. Halcyon days....."

"''Fiona Bruce being polite'' Fuck me, I've heard it all now...."

[SurfaceAgentX2Zero]

"FO I did say it yesterday, you mendacious ass. I clearly said 'leftie' is a pejorative, albeit a piss-weak one, so calling a leftie lawyer a 'leftie lawyer' was not 'a bit odd', as you stated. You then went on to explain that calling a leftie lawyer a 'leftie lawyer' was deeply worrying because, um, er, Braverman and Sunak aka THE TORIES. You had similar worries about JRM accusing the UK's self-acknowledged socialist party of pursuing socialist policies. Pass the salts, Dorothy is fainting again."

"O1BB So, what he's saying is that Bruce's not exhibiting a dogmatic left-wing stance on one particular occasion (I'm not sure attitudes towards spousal abuse are particularly party political, but the Tories are the nasty party, so they must all be bashing up their wives) is proof of the BBC's anti-left stance. So, we have on the one side the BBC's entire news, drama, light entertainment and now sports output, and on the other the Chairman, Director General (both legitimate political appointments) and Fiona Bruce being polite. More big lie theory stuff."

"ED. I think Ray is saying that FB's words dilute Johnsons actions towards his wife. He would expect someone of the true left to be far more condemning than what Bruce was. And to be fair, he has a point."

ray winstone 2:12 Fri Mar 10 What the fuck does any of that have to do with 'Left wing'?

[SurfaceAgentX2Zero]

"Fifth Nice post. I completely agree that 'leftie' is a pejorative and, while I don't really want to get into the specifics of the issue, I agree that 'leftie lawyer' pejorative. However, I've never disputed that. The debate is about the relative innocuousness of 'leftie', which is about the strongest term commonly used by the right (nobody says 'commie' any more), compared with, specifically, 'extreme-right' and also 'fascist' and 'Nazi' commonly thrown about by the left. My question is, given that, politics being politics, 'leftie' IS being used as a pejorative, what alternative milder expression could possibly be used? FO has now been joined by several others of the, um, 'progressive' persuasion, crying 'foul' at its use. FO has even bridled at Labour, the socialist party in the UK, being described as 'socialist'. I've also pointed out that the use of 'populist' is deeply pejorative as it relies on a tacit understanding between its users that supporters of 'populist' policies are easily-led and manipulated, and thick and/or racist/xenophobic people whose right to vote is, by implication, undeserved. In essence, it's a matter of hypocrisy."

"It was pointed out last night on BBQT that Stanley Johnson had broken his wife’s nose and hospitalised her, Fiona Bruce proclaims ‘it did happen but, IT WAS A ONE OFF! Left wing BBC? Do me a favour."

"BRANDED 1:02 Fri Mar 10 If you thing the illegal immigrants on the dinghies want to work at all, let alone in the construction industry (either/all of which they can do in the country their little boat sailed from), then they've got your thinking by the short & curlies. Benefits. That's the only attraction the UK has to offer that is not equally on offer in the rest of the EU. They all know if they sail over it's straight to Benefit City, do not pass Go for them, whoever screams what in parliament."

[Fifth Column]

"67 Bourgeois bollocks - indeed. All the TWAW woke stuff is not left wing at all. It is fundamentally ""liberal"" in the conservative sense of the term - it's about personal choice, I can be who I want. There is no analysis of class. Woman are ""whoever thinks they are a woman"" rather than ""woman are a sex class who have traditionally been oppressed"". Yet the woke cunts think they're left wing. They literally don't know what left wing means."

[Fifth Column]

"Surface I addressed it to you because you'd been discussing why ""leftie"" was a pejorative. My point was that it's used to deflect responsibility. The lawyers may well be ""lefties"" but equally they may just believe in upholding the law... or both. But in this context it's clearly used as a pejorative implying conspiratorial, unpatriotic, undermining government etc. Leftie in itself is not a pejorative but in this context it's used as such. You were asking I believe what other term should be used? My point was that the term that should be used if it was accurate is just ""lawyer"" rather than ""leftie lawyer"" because their political affiliation is meaningless. The issue is the law and breaking it, not the views of the legal professional who may challenge actions of the government."
