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."

Rios That's been considered offensive for years. Although both the mountain range near Cape Town and a neighbouring school still use the name...

"Did you know that the term ""Hottentot"" is now offensive? Did any of you even know what it meant before? Apparently the BBFC have re-classified the 1964 film Mary Poppins as PG (from a U) because the word is featured TWICE!!!"
Re: Woke watch
I was in a cafe a while back (poncy vegan job ofc) and there was a guardian columnist on the table next to me bemoaning the papers stance on trans things. She was saying that the staff were very uncomfortable with it but the boss was pro trans so they couldn’t do anything. I felt like saying to her well that’s what you get for working for such an ideology driven organisation.

Re: Woke watch
"If you’re a deviant bloke go full deviant A writer for the Guardian has boycotted the newspaper for failing to tell its readers that a cat killer who murdered a stranger was transgender. Scarlet Blake, a 26-year-old trans woman, was found guilty last week of murdering Jorge Martin Carreno in July 2021 on his way home from a night out, four months after Blake’s Netflix-inspired killing of a cat. Louise Tickle, an award-winning journalist who has written for the Guardian for more than 20 years, has accused the newspaper of “deceiving its readers” for using the word “woman” in its headline and omitting the fact Blake was transgender in an article covering the case."

"Pickle, isn't France one of the safest places in the world to live? Once they make it to the EU the desperation stops no? They are in the West? They've made it to safety?"

"OK, so you’re not sure why the Crown isn’t taking advantage of a desperate man and a human tragedy. No point discussing this with you then, is there."

"So there is no impartial evidence to suggest the bloke has beem wrongly jailed? Not sure why the crown would want to take advantage of this bloke, the state as a whole has no interest in stopping these people entering the country illegally, bit late to start fitting up 'innocent' people."

"Gentle reminder for you lot that H&P's finest moment on here was arguing that Roman Polanski's sentence for raping a child was too harsh, and that Hollywood had ""good reason"" to give him a standing ovation, and that the judge in the case was the real criminal."

"As far as I can tell, and correct me if you can say how I’m wrong, he is guilty of one thing: offering his services to commit an illegal act in exchange for a place on the vessel. The Crown’s manslaughter charge and the gained sentence is as much taking advantage of these desperate people as anything else, and this is what really concerns me."

Re: Woke watch
"The facts of the case, which the court heard, indicate he was acting under duress and was not personally responsible for the deaths; he had refused to pilot the boat when it was clear it was too small to safely carry that number of people but been beaten up and forced to do so by the people smugglers. The political circumstances indicate the Crown has made this a test case in some pathetic attempt to gain votes in an election year. Like I say - highly disturbing."
