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."

"I have zero empathy for or connection to the women's game. It may have the same label (""Football""), they may play in familiar colours at recognisable grounds on pitches made of similar markings, but that doesn't make it attractive to me. If you dress a gorilla in a fine suit, it's still a gorilla."

Many will watch. Many more won't. But both groups will barely care a week later.

"If not a conspiracy, what would you call google actively looking to push this ahead of the men's football in search results, Fifth? This isn't me hating women football, or anything, but why do you think they've done that artificially? Why not let things grow organically?"

"Fellas There are millions of people who watch football, millions more who will watch England play (any England team). I watched the Wimbledon final - I never watch tennis otherwise. I rarely watch athletics but I'll watch the world champs or olympics. My daughter and her friends and their families were all well into it. Just because you lot may not watch, doesn't mean there isn't a significant number of people who will watch on free to air TV. It's not a conspiracy of the giant lizards. I completely agree re the demands for more investment etc etc when people just won't pay significant money to watch the game. But suggesting people won't watch for free on the telly is ludicrous."

"With, apparently, all those people watching the womens's game I'm surprised the women's WORLD transfer record for them is only £400k, which is less than The Vanarama National League's transfer record."

Saw a social media post from one of the Aust sports channels (prob ABC) talking about 1.4m tickets being sold in Aust & NZ for the womens world cup Many replies pointing out that many are $10 (about £6) & that in NZ they are giving them away. Never see gate takings discussed

"If the match was on in a bar that contained 40 people at the time, would that whole 40 be deemed to be watching the game?"

"""17.4 million people in UK watched the women's Euros final."" In this day and age of creating narratives i'd be sceptical about that figure"

"""It's nothing like the figures for men's"" Which was my point, really. They're (google) artificially promoting this, when they should let it grow organically. But, unfortunately, this is the world we live in now. You're now told what you have to like."

Master 17.4 million people in UK watched the women's Euros final. I'm not sure what the benefit is of pretending that it doesn't get decent viewing figures. It's nothing like the figures for men's but that's still a huge total.

"I just had to check something regarding the England team, so I went to google. Whenever I googled anything to do with the ""England team"" or ""England squad"" the top replies are now all to do with the women's team. They're going to be force feeding us the women's world cup that about 6 people will end up watching."

Back in the days of cheques and guarantee cards a friend worked for Coots and got loads of funny looks whenever she tried to use it as most have never heard of the bank. A few years later the same friend worked for the Banque nationale de Paris and we all found it funny whenever she paid for something with a BNP credit card.

"Adventure island Southend won’t be doing pride again. One wrote: “Drag is an adult performance, not a children’s one.” Another added: “Absolutely disgusting. For this reason, my family will never be visiting your park again.” In response to the complaints, Adventure Island CEO, Philip Miller MBE, said the company will not be participating in any future Pride celebrations. He said: “We humbly apologise to all of our loyal customers for any offence caused. “There was confusion between us and the act as to what we would allow or not as it were. “The grinding act was most definitely a nonstarter as we are ostensibly a family park and that is just not family entertainment. “Rest assured we will not be rebooking this act or participate in any future PRIDE celebrations it is just not for us, we tried to be inclusive, but it has backfired on us.” Who knew a drag act would be risky and suggestive? https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02aviVGZT81k3FRx645o9DuAadThXhRfH6WBvKTukpMzq4MkALSxrJtd2iVAXmCqiQl&id=100063728164791"

I doubt that Coutts are shitting themselves. They've never had so much good publicity reaffirming them as a bank exclusively for the right kind of millionaires...
