"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."

"Teacher made to apologise for saying 'good afternoon girls' at all-girls school because one child, they, them, it felt unsafe that the teacher didn't use a pronoun! Madness! Do we all still address official letters Dear Sir, Madam, Sirs or do we now have to just put To Whichever It It May Concern?"

"SurfaceAgentX2Zero 2:21 Wed Apr 19 Maybe if you tried living in a different country and sucked on the marrow of life you wouldn’t be such a hung up, pedantic, boring cockwomble."

Willtell The fact that you live abroad is not as interesting as you seem to think it is

ray winstone We're all different ray and we each see the world differently. I took early retirement after selling my business so I'm an evil capitalist to you. You'll be glad to know that I no longer post on political threads and I no longer vote in UK. You can all fuck it up yourselves without me and I have no intention of ever returning. The great thing about living in Europe is to not follow local politics and I can laugh at the goings on in UK without having to pay UK taxes. for all the lefty shirkers...

Rampton Ray does have a certain ring about it...

"ray winstone 2:02 Wed Apr 19 'Will, I lived abroad for 20 years' I'm not sure Parkhurst counts, does it?"

"For me it's the smugness of these people most of the time, rather than the sentiment. So pleased with themselves."

"Will, I lived abroad for 20 years, coming 'home' was the best thing I ever did, thankfully, quite a few, blinkered, right wing old farts have moved the other way. I hope the country that accommodates you treats you well and is bereft of any apparent 'wokeness'."

Ah ray. I have always lived abroad since posting on WHO. You’ve never known any difference but getting away from nutty left wingers was one of the attractions of moving abroad….

"I have to say, I'm not sorry either."

"I have to say that I'm not at all sorry that I have moved abroad from the news I here these days. A woman school teacher sacked for saying ""good morning girls"" to her all female school class. Discussions on whether LGBT rights are good enough and so on. Protestors disrupting snooker and Grand National. I blame social media where every know nothing wanker in GB feels entitled to tell everyone else how to live their lives but won't be told how to live their own."

"""It just felt like the right time"" So no time in between the distant past and right before yesterday then? NOW is the right time? And why would that be I wonder?"

I thought it was a parking space for women.

"Branded, Boots actual problem is the perfectly fit motorists who use the boxes designated for those with mobility issues."

"The trouble with this sort of thing is that the stigma usually catches up with the euphemism. They used to call theintellectually challenged idiots, imbeciles and morons. Now you can use phrases like special needs as an insult"

"Boots has removed a sign for parking spots for ""less abled"" customers in a row over the word ""disabled"". The pharmacy chain was criticised for its choice of language, with some customers saying the term disabled was “not a dirty word”. The signage at the store in Norwich, Norfolk, included a symbol of a wheelchair-user beneath the words ""less abled parking""."

"Snowdonia is in a Welsh speaking area, the Brecon Beacons isn't. Somehow I can't see this catching on."

", 11:42 TBH the Welsh language argument to change it would have been more than fair enough. The climate change argument surrounding 'beacon' as a justification is just dumb, overegging the pudding, and trying to look good for bonus points. Beacon doesn't even have to mean burning something."

"""the authority is ditching a picture of a burning beacon from its logo, arguing that the fiery, carbon-emitting symbol no longer fits with its ethos on fighting climate change"" hahaha that's mental. Someone should tell them they have a carbon-emitting animal on their national flag. Get it changed to a rainbow unicorn or something."

"Isn't ""King"" about as anti-woke as you can get? I mean it's a pretty exclusive, male-only club - membership is not on offer to everybody."

"The Welsh name means ""the peaks of Brychan's kingdom"" and is pronounced ban-aye bruch-ay-nee-og, with the ch making the same sound as in loch. Brycheiniog - named after 5th Century King Brychan - was an independent kingdom in the early middle ages, and its borders roughly match those of the national park today. Bannau Brycheiniog National Park's chief executive, Catherine Mealing-Jones, said: ""It just felt the right time to reclaim the old name for the area. [It] reflects our commitment to the Welsh language.""But we understand people are used to calling the park by the name everyone's used for 66 years, so we don't expect everyone to use it, at least straight away."" As part of the rebrand, the authority is ditching a picture of a burning beacon from its logo, arguing that the fiery, carbon-emitting symbol no longer fits with its ethos on fighting climate change."

"Also, ironically, the unpronounceable new Welsh name for Brecon Beacons means Brecon Beacons in Welsh,"
