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."

"Also I suppose presenting is a little like my profession, teaching. Difficult to get up.in front of a class/ year group for an assembly initially, but, once you've done it a few times and know your subject it's a piece of piss.ive made up assemblies on the spot due to the arranged speaker not turning up. Same with cover lessons and I've done it so long now I haven't ""planned"" a lesson in years. (Aside from printing off graphs occasionally). Lineker only has to know a bit about football, have a few queations prepared. But also don't forget the talky bits only make up about 10% of MOTD. It's not like he has to do a 40 minute monologue. So yeah there could be thousands that could do it. Not millions, but definitely in the thousands. However he is a household name and liked by a lot of people. I can't stand the cսnt, but others do like him. He is horrendously overpaid however, from the licence fee. Which is for me a huge waste of public money which I think the bbc should be looking at spending more wisely or preferably reducing/cutting out altogether."

As it really gets under your skin that I show empathy I will now do.it all.the more. You clearly see it as a flaw in.your own character that my posting to defend others winds you up.so much..its fun.thanks for the entertainment.

"Debs You seem to be missing the point. I'm pretty sure peewee is a bit of an old leftie - there's nothing wrong with that. I'm also pretty sure we've mildly crossed swords on here now and again - and there's nothing wrong with that. What he isn't (and I still don't know how gender comes into it, unless you're playing the poor defenceless little woman card so beloved of females on the left), is a nauseatingly prolific, self-righteous virtue-signaller. Do you see now?"

I can confirm peewee is male. He’s also very short.

[Darlo Debs]

Then that just makes you a hypocrite as well doesn't it if you are slagging me off for agreeing with someone for whom.youbare are congratulating for making the same point. Well done

[goose]

Debs I’m still baffled as to what gender has to do with any of the below. But equally I can’t really be bothered to get into it.

[SurfaceAgentX2Zero]

"Debs Are you miffed you've been caught virtue-signalling again? What the fuck peewee's gender has to do with anything, I don't know. I guess it's just you thrashing about to get off goose's hook. Assuming peewee's a male poster (which I didn't), and if you read my post properly, I actually congratulated him for it."

[Darlo Debs]

He is a male poster....and Surf would have certainly assumed him.to be hence why he pounced on the fact i agreed with the comment rather than the comment itself. Surf has done this before....he'd have a pop at me for posting along the lines of another male poster and got called out for it....and firmly put back in his box ....generally because he us a snivelling inadequate troll. Hey but whatever floats his boat.

[goose]

Why the need to point out ‘male’ poster Debs? I’ll forgive the fact you’ve just assumed their gender.

[Darlo Debs]

Oh.look.Surf has popped upmto.have a pop.at me for just agreeing with something a male poster has said. You have form.for that. Says a lot about you..

[SurfaceAgentX2Zero]

"Hey look everyone! Debs has popped up to tell us all she's a caring leftie. Who knew? Tell you what, we can all play that game (and it is a good one). I'll see your Gary Lineker and raise you a Tommy Robinson."

[Darlo Debs]

Pee Wee....was about to say pretty much the same thing. No doubt with more typos in though.

[Pee Wee]

"Gary Lineker gets under the skin of the kind of people I’m not fond of. Whatever else he does I don’t care, that’s enough for me."

[BRANDED]

Everyones a cսnt you cսnt. Fact is we can get decent analysis from a million sources.

[twoleftfeet]

Sky sports is just as woke as the BBC. Men’s cricket is virtually dominated by women commentators and analysts. It’s not as though there isn’t women’s matches for them to cover.

"Alfs 5:22 Sun Aug 13 That's fairly interesting; when I moved into management I was given an unadvertised role that, had it been included in the job description, I would have swerved like a swervy thing; presenting to the chairman & board of BT International, annually, how they were doing, what was good, what was bad, suggestions for improvement, that sort of thing. I spend most of the preparation time dreading it, but - apparently because if that preparation, meaning I knew the subject - once the presentation started I was off - even managing to drop a few ""Romford innuendoes"" into my responses to the (frequent) interruptions, which seemed to loosen the often delicate atmosphere. I still never enjoyed it that much even though by the third time of doing so just before the presentation (of less than 30 minutes), one of the Directors in the audience announced loudly that ""This was an event they had come to look forward to each year."". Indeed a feather in my manager's cap. And his manager's...and HIS managers...and even HIS managers - they all came along for the show. I would have probably shat in my cap, had I been wearing one. So, yeah, preparation and training are very big, unseen parts in presentation. ""Training? You never mentioned training!"" Apparently, it seems my then manager was so impressed with the way I told our major equipment manufacturers what they were doing wrong (nothing spectacularly major for the most part, I should add) that he knew I'd be a ""natural"" for the role. THAT was all the training I needed. Me? As soon as I saw the presentation content I thought ""Poisoned chalice; no wonder none of the existing managers wanted anything to do with it"", and I felt for at least 5 years that I was being sent out as a messenger to be shot for the message I carried. I had to do regular presentations once I moved into contracting and never, ever learned to enjoy the moment, so, yeah, it is a special skill. Still think Linekar's a cսnt, though - the skills he has are not mutually exclusive."

[solidbond]

A lot of crying on this thread this morning as per usual.

[Alfs]

"arsene york-hunt 3:04 Sun Aug 13 You have no idea of the skill needed to present to camera. Particularly with no rehearsal time. Google his first appearance and you will see that he was terrible. But the BBC believed in him and he spent months and months listening to his tutors and directors, determined to become a good presenter. And he has more than achieved that. He's now trusted with live presenting, and that is a real honour as that is incredibly hard. Do you not think that if the BBC could get someone to be just as good, just as charming, just as funny, and cheaper, they would do? Jermaine Jenas, Alex Scott, et al, they are all thoroughly trained on autocue as it can't look like they are reading. Along with that, they need the ability to look natural and often to improvise. As a test, get your partner of friend, if you have one, to film you reading this post, without an um or an eh whilst still making it sound conversational. Then post a link to your video. As you say, thousands can do it."

"I gave up on MOTD after the last world cup. The hypocrisy of Linekar, Shearer et al did it for me. Shame as i had watched it since the mid 60's when my old man used to get me up to watch it with him. Sky sports you tube channel gives me all the coverage i need now, fuck the BBC."

[arsene york-hunt]

"Just saw Match of the Day was on. Don't usually watch it but as soon as the game ended and I saw Lineker I had to switch off. £1.4 million for a bloke doing a job that thousands could do as well for a fraction of the price: and then there's the sanctimonious virtue signalling, and his stupid face just begging for a thump."

[Any Old Iron]

"Sorry, my mistake. That should read Football Focus. It’s no wonder I stopped watching it years ago."

[Any Old Iron]

BLM Match of the Day is on. Not a white face in sight. The BBC are just taking the piss now
