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."

But what is wrong with the statement? He is black. He is a hypocrite. Not sure where the issue is? No one takes offence when Moyes is described as a Scottish dinosaur.

[Fo the Communist]

Twoleft. I think defamation and racial equality laws (never mind codes of decency in public life) have always been a check on 'free speech' haven't they? 'Wokery' doesn't enter into it. That is plainly a daft and probably an actionable and illegal statement and would have been for years and years.

"No Willwall, you and Come On The Swiss will be accusing me of stalking you both and wanting me banned......you pair of woke weak males....."

"A county councillor in Hampshire is under investigation for tweeting that Ian Wright was a "" typical black hypocrite "" So freedom of speech doesn't apply to her because she is a Conservative."

"A transgender woman raped her friend just weeks after being released from prison for child sex offences. Lexi-Rose Crawford, who was born male but now identifies as female, previously served a four-year jail term for having sex with an underage girl she met online. Crawford began using a female name and pronouns in January 2019 after she was released from prison, a court heard. Within weeks of her release, she had raped a vulnerable friend, Mail Online reports. Crawford, 24, claimed to suffer from blackouts and said she could not remember the incident, but was convicted by jurors at Bristol Crown Court on Friday after less than two hours of deliberations. At the conclusion of her four day trial, the former volunteer guitar technician was found guilty of rape and sexual assault, which she denied. She was released on conditional bail until her sentencing on May 10. It is believed Crawford will be sent to a male prison if she is handed a custodial sentence."

"So apparently viewing figures went up by 500,000 !"

[Leatherhead Hammer]

"Anyone who says that Linekar was not comparing the current tory government to the 1930s German nazi party is, at best, being disengenuous and, at worst, lying"

[Willtell]

Is this your latest wind-up Swiss? Snide will be along later...

[Swiss.]

I blame Brexit. A failure to control our borders so we build concentration camps. But we’re good at that. Just ask the Saffas.

[Northern Sold]

Oh… this is the Woke thread… idiot. Anyway off now…

[Northern Sold]

Steady… like I said on the Woke thread I normally FF over the pundits mainly as a time constraint as I watch it before football on a Sunday (just off now) … but if there has been a dodgy decision I normally do listen to what they say… it creates debate and I like that… I’ll be honest I never got het up listening to them same as Keano/Souness/Neville and co… it’s just debate and people expressing their own point of view… exactly what we do on here… sometimes it’s better the devil you know. Anyway for me that was Fucking SHIT last night...

[Steady]

"Northern - the crap part was that the highlights were too short. But not having to listen to Lineker, Wright and Shearer constantly congratulate each other or tell crap jokes was a plus"

[Northern Sold]

Well that was interesting.... by the time you've had a shit it was over... I know loads on here all saying Yeah Great fuck off pundits and commentary it will just be like being at the real game... yeah if the real game lasted 2 minutes... yeah sorry.... but that was shit... SHIT

I have to confess that I have thought for a number of years that MOTD was in need of a complete refresh. Thanks Gary for resigning. It might happen now and we get the BBC to bring it up to date although I feel it is just an old anachronism of the past . We see half time reviews during live matches and discussion after the match. The three tired old strikers from MOTD are scooted through on the FF button in my house. Does that not happen all over UK?

[Iron Duke]

"easthammer 3:57 Sat Mar 11 Exactly. The policy is just a smokescreen from the government to take people’s mind off the soaring cost of living. Or to blame it on immigrants. Instead of censoring people, the BBC should present the facts and have a balanced debate. All this achieves is everyone becomes further entrenched in their views."

[Willtell]

Hi Surface. How's it going me old mate?

"Claret Badger 3:11 Sun Mar 12 I love the way he ties himself up in knots trying to prove a point, watching Fo dismantle his bullshit is a thing of beauty."

[Mike Oxsaw]

"There is only one BBC in the eyes of the public - matters not that they, themselves allocate whatever they produce into areas like ""mews"", ""sport"", ""current affairs"" - especially as they then to go on to blur the demarcation lines by sticking a sports story under ""news"" - often if it involves one of their favoured teams. Cakes being eaten and had on both sides, methinks."

ray winstone 3:30 Sat Mar 13 ignore the SubserviceAgentKnobCunt he is a troll and a man with no friends

[Claret Badger]

13 Brentford Rd 5:31 Sat Mar 11 shut up you whelk - he said language was SIMILAR to that used in pre war Germany go have a lollipop and a sit down

[Kaiser Zoso]

Maybe he was referring to the Volkswagen

[riosleftsock]

"If Lineker is entitled to breach his contract under the defence of ""free speech"", his inaccurate comparison of the fake conservative govt to the Reich of 1930 Germany is clear disinformation at worst and misinformation at best. No doubt Frau Marianna Spring will make a documentary about this."

[arsene york-hunt]

"Why would the BBC pay a bloke £1.5 million of license payers money when the show can be hosted by any competent presenter. There must be hundreds of them queuing up for that job at a fraction of the price. Pundits too can easily be replaced and they need not be top footballers, just somebody who can read a game, they even have women doing it now. Do they even need ""experts"". Sack the lot of them"

[Fifth Column]

"He was obviously referencing the rise of the Nazis. He didn't need to use the word ""Nazi"". I think he went over a line with that reference in terms of impartiality. Having said this, there are lots of other people who work for the BBC in News who have or used to have very political opinions stated in public. Andrew Neil editing the Spectator as just one example. So Linekar clear breached impartiality rules... but so have other people. So I'm not sure whether BBC are being impartial in their enforcement of this rule."
