"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."

"Dunno what the point was to be honest, Eerie. Just hot and distracted from work really..."

Of course it is. Why on earth wouldn't it be?

bigfrank 9:39 Fri Sep 8 A lecture on preserving British culture by the son of an Iranian political refugee. Presumably that's the acceptable side of multi-culturalism?

Hammer and Sickle thknks he is a uncle tom

"Yes, not much evidence of good old British reserve, openness and good humour in that rant there. He's clearly just been taken to the cleaners by the ex, and no doubt rightly so."

https://youtu.be/9h2uUzFac64?feature=shared Really amazes me how people who have so much hatred for this country continues to reside here.

"That fine Brummie* band Led Zeppelin once sung a ditty about The Gallows Pole. Maybe the residents of Birmingham should adopt that quaint English folk song as a rallying siren and set up gallows in the Bull Ring ready for those responsible for this farce to meet justice. Nailed on that before the week's out they'll claim that ""Actually it's so bad that we can't afford the services that we're legally mandated to deliver"", knowing full-well that the government would have no choice but to step in and fund those services at that point. If you could get a hold of their business plan before it gets deleted/redacted/shredded then no doubt you would clearly see that would be a key determinate in how they (and all other local authorities) operate. * - Yes, yes, I KNOW they're Wolverhampton/Kidderminster/Black Country, but so fucking what? I'm from Romford and get called a cockney everywhere in the world I go. Goose, gander. I am massive, though."

"Another thing I noted was their report on equal pay showed breakdowns between male and female for full time, part time and the overall totals. Where pay for men exceeded the female total, the percentage difference was shown in RED Where the pay gap was the other way round and females had been paid more than men, the percentage was shown in GREEN"

"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)."

It seems that equal pay payments have sent Birmingham council bankrupt. Quite literally go woke to broke

"Apparently in some university in Ontario the statement: 'I think the most qualified person should get the job.' is a microaggression, as is 'When I look at you I don't see colour.'

"How long, do you reckon, before the compensation claims start being made for the anxiety and stress created through discovering that your old school had an RAAC roof?"

They should demand he doesn't wear a box. No need to if he's meant to be a she.

"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 fully expect Nasser Hussain to start transitioning soon.

"Just listening to Nasser Hussain on Sky cricket, is there a bigger arse licker than him on TV? He literally jumps on every bandwagon."
