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."

Not enough is being said about these cowardly men coming to this country “escaping war and persecution” yet leading their women and children behind in these “warzones” well Lineker says that’s what they are doing anyway.

Re: Woke watch
"A good indicator of the way UK society is going is to look at our professional sporting flagship and the way it is promoted by the media. In the Premier League, players are either rewarded for cheating (diving, feigning injury) and/or it is praised as ""earning an advantage"" by the pundits, especially if it's done by a player of one of their ""preferred"" teams. Kids all over the country then ape that type of action - and not just when playing football - and carry it into adulthood. It's not only the authorities who should lead by example (they don't by a country light-year), but also everybody in the mass media on account of their reach and influence. How about the PL/FA try an experiment - the first attempt at cheating in a game gets an immediate red. Any player subsequently calling that card out also gets a red. I think that would be quite ""exciting-biting"" as a start to the new season and soon pull players into line. It may also start to be reflected in our wider society."

Re: Woke watch
Personally I don’t see why we have to be so tolerant all the time. Especially when we are dealing with intolerant assholes. At some point tolerance becomes surrender. Time for a change and time to put limits and deportation back on the agenda. What is happening in Blighty is a disaster and not sustainable. It will go down in history as one of our biggest mistakes. To think London and other parts of the country have become 3rd world cesspits is sad. How have we gotten here and how do we get back to being a normal society. And yes I fucking hate Islam and everything it stands for and how these cunts treat women and kids. Send them all packing! And fuck all you Idiots that defend these pieces of shit!

Re: Woke watch
"Debs, imo the worrying thing about the migration into London and the suburbs is it always feels like that part of society you've described is getting added to in masses and the folk just looking to get on end up being very selfish in their need to get away from that life so don't add much good to society either. We are not churning out decent human beings with our outlook of what to expect for life in this country, it seem like many people will step over each other to get on and it's just not a nice way to be."

Re: Woke watch
"People were concerned - or at least aware of immigration back in the 1960s - in evidence I give you the parody sitcom (NOT a documentary) ""Till Death Us Do Part"". What has changed - or been changed by the authorities - is the rate/scale of immigration; integration works both ways - it's not that immigrants should be encouraged to understand the customs & practices of their newly chosen home, that home should be able to accept them at a societal level. Think of society as being a sponge. Trickle water onto that sponge and it can absorb that trickle and there is time to extend the sponge by adding to it as required at a rate determined by the trickle, so that all the water stays absorbed. Turn that trickle into a deluge and it flows straight through, dragging with it some of the previously absorbed water from earlier trickles, and maybe even some of the sponge itself. The deluge needs once again to be restored to a trickle and the only way to do that is to make sure that it is not too strong - in terms of immigrants is simply means restricting the number of individuals allowed to settle in the country; rocket science it is not, neither is it ""playing god"" with people's lives. But it does require an assertive approach. My understanding is that the UK has a perfectly good end-to-end immigration process that takes many relevant factors into consideration. The issue seems to be a reluctance to enforce that policy in any way the elected government sees fit There is no selective victimization at play here - the authorities simply need to ensure that nobody can bypass the existing immigration process - a process that is under constant review to ensure that it is fit for purpose (and not hijacked by any agenda-driven, single issue groups or individuals)."

"Swen, but you can also find out about things, form an opinion about them, and be able to express that opinion, have a discussion with somebody else with a different view, without getting worked up and angry? With a lot of these cases, anybody who is critical of what’s happened, is almost immediately assumed to be ‘worked up’ and ‘angry’, rather than just concerned and critical. It just closes any argument straight away, because one side of it is assumed to be just anger, with nothing constructive to offer. There again, shutting down the argument is probably the whole point."

"Fifth I take your point but where you are has ways been relatively well off even when.other parts nearby really struggled. Bits of Darlo and absolutely the bulk of Stockton and the Boro etc are very deprived, and have long struggled with many of the issues that exist in London, crime gangs drugs etc. Mostly the perpetrators are white, and obviously the scale is small.er as the population is lower. I am.not saying you are wrong in.your points but those comparisons are worth bearing in mind. Culturally yes it's different but in some parts no less rough. I was working on a rough local council estate and had to turn my car round ....a bunch of kids in balaclavas with baseball bats came at the car and were hitting.it. A bit scary. Bad parenting bringing up.kids with no boundaries happens everywhere even in rich families. Except badly behaved rich kids usually get away with their wrongdoing."

Re: Woke watch
5th by moving out of large cities you are in turn putting more pressure on schools and healthcare outside of the cities. Immigrants flow in to big cities and the infrastructure cannot cope. In turn people like you move out of big cities and into the suburbs and rural areas where no new schools or hosipitals have been built and put pressure on the infrastructure there.

"Large scale immigration has had AN impact on public services in some parts of the country. 100% true. That was clearly noticeable in changes in the part of London I lived in over 20 years until about 2019. I then moved somewhere else in the country for work, somewhere overwhelmingly white, England. Very very few non white people. Overall an economically prosperous place. The NHS here is absolutely ####ed just like where I used to live in London. It's not because of immigration that there are issues here with public services. Also, as we're all well aware the NHS has relied on skilled and unskilled immigrants to function for decades now. So, again, the idea that immigration is responsible for everything is just wrong. There are loads of people where I live now who've moved up from London. Most aren't here looking for better public services. They are looking for a place that hasn't changed, culturally, by 99% from 20 or 30 years ago. That's not about colour but about shared social norms and practices. Culturally I feel like where I live now is like London 35 years ago relatively safe, greater sense of community, some lines that even criminals up here won't go past. Don't get me wrong London has never been some haven of tranquility but it is very very different culturally than 35 years ago and I think for a lot of people that is what they are more concerned about. That's why Brexit referendum turned out the way it did. Lots of research showing people felt that the culture they were brought up with was disappearing with negative outcomes as a result. Of course it has made things economically worse in the medium term and may well be bad in the long term but it made people FEEL better. I've gone off on a tangent. In short - immigration is both good and bad. The EU was both good and bad."

"For those worried about all these brown babies at least Boris Johnson is trying to turn the tide. Now has 3 children with the latest wife and 8 in total (acknowledged). There are supposedly more but he refuses to confirm The latest is called Frank Alfred Odysseus Johnson with his wife pointing out that Boris picked one of the names The Guardian: ""The former prime minister Boris Johnson is keen to be thought of as a scholar of the classics. In Greek mythology, Odysseus leaves behind his wife and child to seek adventure, encountering many other women along the way."""
