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."

Re: Woke watch
"Pickle I often notice you take up and argue ridiculous positions on here, which I am convinced you don't really believe. When you do this, it's all incoherent, blustery wordspew, mostly playing the man, not the ball. My guess is you do this because you don't like certain posters and want to argue against their opinions just for the sake of it, or because you are neurotic and feel panic about not being part of the conversation. Maybe a bit of both. You're doing it now over this 'cat-identity' business and it's very strange. You do know it is possible to not like someone but occasionally agree with them, don't you? You don't have to engage in a Pavlovian response just because your 'enemies' are talking and you simply MUST give them a piece of your mind. Also, it's possible to 'relax and sit out' arguments on here sometimes. In your case, I think it would do you good not to be constantly 'on duty' to vanquish the opinions of the plebs, as you see us. It's not doing you any good and you're not arguing your point very well (likely because you don't really believe your waffle)"

Re: Woke watch
Mad Dog 2:26 Very peculiar. I do agree it's important to let young primary school kids indulge their imagination etc but there is a point where it's just disruptive for everyone. The child does need at some point to be told they are in fact a human being. Not doing so is like sending your kid to secondary school still thinking santa is real. Just woefuly ill prepared to deal with life.

Re: Woke watch
"The point, as a teacher or responsible adult, is not to indulge anything any more than having a moral panic. It is to engage the imagination, empathy and creativity in the child, to build on it not only in art and writing activities but science and lessons. No child is ever going to think they are actually a cat if they are exploring what it’s like to be one, and if you believe that is really a danger I suggest some proper methodological support."

"Yes, what a terrible thing we are doing to the children of chauvinist reactionaries and narrow-minded frustrates when we teach them to be cool, tolerant and open minded. Less than a years ago a similar crime was commuted against women and the working classes when they were taught to read and write."

"Mad Dog 1:52 Well, not to worry. If the teachers aren't allowed to, come the first week of secondary school, all the other kids will be sure to set them straight in no uncertain terms. Albeit maybe with somewhat less care about their mental wellbeing. But you're right, enabling and encouraging stuff like this just isn't setting a child up to deal with the realities of life and what it will throw at them and I would say it's actually doing them a huge disservice."

"Quote from the film stepbrother When I was a kid, when I was a little boy, I always wanted to be a dinosaur. I wanted to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex more than anything in the world. I made my arms short and I roamed the backyard, I chased the neighborhood cats, I growled and I roared. Everybody knew me and was afraid of me. And one day my dad said, ""Bobby, you are 17. It's time to throw childish things aside,"" and I said, ""Okay, Pop."" But he didn't really say that, he said, ""Stop being a fucking dinosaur and get a job"

"zico 11:07 Mon Jun 19 I'm 100% behind allowing separatist groups to be set up - but there is no way I'm (responsible for) paying for it. THEIR choice, they shoulder the cost of doing so amongst themselves. Additionally, if such a group fucks up a child's education such that they can't function in the society within which they live, the group responsible 100% funds the cost of any treatment required."

Re: Woke watch
It's no surprise that the bloke who pisses in his own garden and thinks Roman Polanski is misunderstood is on board with letting kids in secondary school insist that people 'identify' them as a cat.

"Just start serving them up cans of whiskas for school dinner then, because cats exclusively eat cat food. That'll sort the cats from the, err, humans."

Re: Woke watch
I wonder what makes your personality as an adult? I would suggest a lot of it involves identifying as things. Otherwise you only have a predetermined destiny. Thing is what is it that you identify as that you can you give up?
Re: Woke watch
I know a lovely lady who when we were kids she was very much a Tomboy. Couldn't be more of a lady now. What if she had gone down the route of becoming a boy when with her certainly it was just a childhood phase.

"They are called ""Furries"" at my daughters school, they have requested litter trays in the toilets. It's kids being kids and playing on what they can get away with/attention, if anyone thinks they actually see themselves as cats/dogs then you are mental."

Re: Woke watch
"doesnt matter how open minded you are - the kid isnt a fucking cat. it's very far from building 'self and mutual respect', these kids are being taught that if you dont act of feel like a stereotypical girl then you must be in the wrong body and you need puberty blockers to be your true self. its a fad. a way for boring, middle class white kids to suddenly become different and interesting."

Re: Woke watch
"I agree having a “row” about it indicates a lack of common sense and especially a lack of pedagogical preparation. The media sensationalising it is not all that clever either. Fact is, it is worth helping children explore their personality as they grow up, especially when it comes to building self and mutual respect. Of course, that is if what you want is open-minded, secure and resilient adults in the future who can accept diversity and their own strangeness. Not much help if you expect everyone to be a miserable old git like you though."
