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."

"Thanks to Kaiser for bothering to delve into the actual numbers. I must confess that despite smelling a rat, I couldn't be arsed. So many councils, so much corruption and mismanagement."

"I'm not sure I see equal pay for women as an example of 'idiotic wokeness'. Provided they actually are doing the same job. If Birmingham Council has been so grossly underpaying its female employees that equalling them up is going to make the difference between them being solvent and bankrupt, then either the underpayments have been unbelievably large or something else is remiss. As Mr Oxsaw says, doubtless it could have been handled better."

"Something odd about Birmingham’s pay gap They employ 10,000 people, 53% are women, and they reckon they will need to pay £757 million, which is in addition to £1.25bn already spent. What’s odd is that the workforce is roughly 50/50, so 5,000 women would average £151,000 each for this new claim, and would have got £250,000 each on average in 2010."

"bruuuno 12:38 Wed Sep 6 Re: Woke watch It seems that equal pay payments have sent Birmingham council bankrupt. Quite literally go woke to broke Bruuuuuno You do know they negotiated the settlement in order to avoid losing in a court case? The law required them to do this - it wasn't being ""woke""."

"The Birmingham ""bankrupcy"" thing is quite clearly a politically motivated reds seeing a chance to stick it to the blues (and I don't give a fuck which one is ""your"" side). The council could easily have negotiated a phased levelling up policy with workers/their unions on back-pay that kept spend within their budget. Would have been marginally more expensive in the long term but at least they'd not need to cut services (residents have already paid their council taxes for)."

"Canada's Danielle McGahey is set to become the first transgender cricketer to play in an official international match. McGahey has been included in Canada's squad for a qualifying tournament on the pathway to the 2024 Women's T20 World Cup in Bangladesh. The 29-year-old opening batter has fulfilled all of the eligibility criteria the International Cricket Council (ICC) has for male-to-female transgender players before the event in Los Angeles from 4-11 September. McGahey's participation comes despite other sports - including athletics, cycling, swimming and both codes of rugby - banning transgender women from taking part in elite women's competition. A spokeswoman for the Women's Rights Network (WRN) - a group which says it seeks to ""defend the sex-based rights of women"" - said transgender women had a ""significant advantage"" over athletes whose sex is recorded as female at birth, and called the ICC's policy ""unfair and unsafe"". McGahey emigrated from Australia to Canada in February 2020, socially transitioned to a woman in November 2020 and started medically transitioning in May 2021. McGahey told BBC Sport: ""I am absolutely honoured. To be able to represent my community is something I never dreamed I would be able to do."" Fake woman and a fake Canadian"

"A paedophile caught with indecent images of children was prosecuted under a male name but now identifies as a woman, a court was told. Dominic Carter “wrestled” with police while under arrest to try to stop them from taking away a phone that yielded crucial evidence. Carter, of Lee-on-the-Solent, Hampshire, was found to be in possession of 11 indecent photos of children after two phones were seized. Two category A images, which are the most severe kind, and a further three category B images and six category C were discovered. But a sentencing hearing at Southampton Crown Court was told that despite being a man when arrested, Carter now goes by the name Sophie Carter."

"Here for me is a prime example of Woke culture where a word triggers this kiind of reaction and from KUMB too about Zouma's possible sale to a gentler league for his troublesome knees... ""Nope, because it doesn't answer it. Unless you choose to believe the Saudis are just going to drop £20M+ on Sulleys desk for a supposed football cripple, no questions asked."" ---------------------------- As a disabled person I would strongly advise you on your language being used as it should be common logic that the word cripple is both unnecessary and offensive ------------------------------- Up the Junction Thinks he owns the place If you'd like to discuss Kurt Zouma's physical condition, please continue here: viewtopic.php?p=6726682"

"I have been made aware that my rearranging the lyric of Black Magic Woman has hurt people in the magic community. It was never my intention to cause distress, only to make a very lame joke in the hope of raising a titter. Maybe an Ag! or two. However, I now accept that through my thoughtlessness I have caused trauma to the magic community, who every day suffer indignity and prejudice by non-magic people. I intend to use my time in exile from WHO to educate myself about magic folk history and work towards becoming an ally for magical folk in future. Please forgive the violence my words have committed. And don't turn me into a toad."

"Lucy Letby only got away with her crimes because she was white, says Dr Shola. If it was a brown or black nurse she would have been arrested much earlier..She says it was an example of white privilege. Surely this bigoted woman could find real examples of racism if she want to stoke discord."
