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."

Shakespeare Globe allowing some bloke to stand watching a children's play in full gimp outfit and mask because the outfit “did not contain offensive slogans”. Lol btw haven't seen hammer and pickle on here lately? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/man-gimp-suit-shakespeares-globe-children-b2380638.html

"Will. I'm sure there will be different interpretations but for me, essentially it's the notion that 'the people' (whatever that means) is being supressed by 'the elite' (whatever that means) and that (insert whoever but it's usually someone benefitting from the privilege they claim to want to overthrow) is somehow able to reverse this imaginary or, at best, nebulous scenario. I'm sure there will be no end of folk here who will tell you the real definition though."

1. He's clearly not a grifter 2. He's genuine If he fails in presenting his message he won't have supporters. That is true of any activity that seeks to find supporters or fans. Of course if he said he disapproved of gays but was a closet shirt lifter he would be disingenuous. If he was secretly a globalist EU supporting centrist he would be disingenuous. The Northerners he appeals to are almost certainly now middle class. At least materially.

"Nursey All saltiness aside, you don't need towering intellect or anything close to it to question the credentials of a man who claims to be 'one of us' who in reality is nothing of the sort. It's not about his message which clearly strikes a chord with many (and he's right on this occasion). It's the lie behind it that I object to."

Branded What's not genuine about him is the whole 'man of the people fighting back at the establishment' line. Which essentially is both the essence of his political career and a load of cobblers. You can't deny the man his appeal and influence and he is clearly a very skilled communicator in terms of reaching his intended audience. But he is undeniably built on the whole populist lie.

Everything about the Coutts story stinks. They need to identify what anyone in banks is making these kind of decisions and sack them immediately. If they were banning lefties or liberals or progressives or trans people there would be all hell let loose.

"The strangest thing in that bank's dossier on Farage was the line, ""he seeks to hide his Thatcherite views from people living in the North"". So many questions... surely every single Director of Coutts is a Thatcherite? Why does Farage hiding his political views from people in the North make him an unworthy customer? Are they going to de-bank everyone with Thatcherite views from Coutts (they'd have no customers left)? Why is being Thatcherite something that stops you from having a bank account. I detest Thatcher and all she stood for (and Farage for that matter) but that internal report of Coutts was bonkers in sections."

Is it possible to be a disingenuous grifter? It seems an oxymoron? Either you are a genuine petty swindler or not? I cant see what he's not genuine about even if I disagree with him. He wanted to rid the UK of the influence of the EU and spent many years doing that in the heart of the EU and ended up getting at least part of his goal. Its rare a politician in the UK achieves anything like the result Farrage has achieved even if he wasn't the only one he was at the vanguard of a political movement that created one of the most important events in recent years.

AG @ Nurse! I find it pretty incredible Dame Fatface at Natwest was able to resign. Surely what she did is a sackable offence?

"Shocking that the person at the very top of the Bank breaches the client confidentiality rules. Lied too about the real reason that Farage was outed though he does not satisfy the wealth level criteria. Nigel, how long before the Turks join the EU?"

"ray winstone 10:48 Wed Jul 26 Re: Woke watch Someone has resigned over 'lying'? Now there's a thing…. No, that’s not what happened. Someone got outed as a liar after committing a serious breach of banking principles by disclosing privileged information. it might stop you crying so much to blame it on a lie though, winstone."
