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."

Re: Woke watch
"The ""threats being part of free speech"" debate has been done to death to the point of being fully erroneous. Everyone involved says the answer is no. ""Homophobia"" is subjective*, it shouldn't be illegal to have an opinion, and its wrong to force someone to make a political statement they disagree with. *(there are plenty out there who'd say your post is ""homophpbic"" hateful, and you should be arrested for it..be careful what you wish for)"

Re: Woke watch
He is a professional footballer appearing in front of 10's of thousand of fans and millions maybe on tv. The club and league are involved in campaigns that THEY think have some social good. My work isnt televised and noone knows who I am so there would be no point in my employer making such a request.

Re: Woke watch
Of course Mr GAY is fully entitled with the agreement of PSG to miss a game because of 'personal reasons' with no other explanation but someone was saying he should have 'free speech'. Free speech of course doesnt entitle you to say ANYTHING & EVERYTHING. There are laws against hate speech (be it homophobic or racial say) or threatening I couldnt for example turn up at Hermit Road's house with a knife and when i see him being greeted by a kiss from his boyfriend after work threaten to kill him because I think his homosexuality is an affront to God and evil. Both the physical threat & homophobia wouldnt be called FREE SPEECH

"""And whether those reasons amount to illegal discriminatory language"" ""I have differing opinions to yours because of my own religious/cultural affinities"" shouldn't be illegal to say."

James Haskell on his way to being cancelled currently due to naming the top 5 most capped England Rugby players and not listing some bird who has played 4.8 million times for England. How dare he

"""Personal reasons"" was one of the reasons given and that should be the absolute end of it. He's not obliged to explain any further no matter how many guilt-drenched arguments are thrown at him."

"Sven Roeder 4:00 Mon May 16 I don't think you understand what free speech is if you think that he should say something and should then be prosecuted for saying it. Anyway, well done to Idrissa. A footballer with a set of bollocks on him. You know the majority feel the same way but haven't got the nuts to do anything. Nobody should be compelled to wear the political colours of a political cause they disagree with."

"Why does he have to explain if he doesn't want to do something, Sven? How about you start wearing a pair of rainbow coloured trainers?"

Re: Woke watch
Lets see if GUEYE / GAY can use his free speech to explain his reasons And whether those reasons amount to illegal discriminatory language
Re: Woke watch
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-10820569/Idrissa-Gueye-missed-PSG-game-REFUSED-wear-shirt-number-rainbow-colours.html PSG player refuses to wear rainbow laces. I wonder if it's a religious stand point or just a personal one. Lets see how accepting ppl are when 'free speech' doesnt match their values.

Re: Woke watch
If I had nothing to moan about I would be bereft. As I type my neighbours have put up a huge bouncy castle and a marquee and I fully expect music to be blaring out soon. My inner Meldrew wants it to piss down with rain now but why should I moan about my neighbours enjoying themselves?
Re: Woke watch
Didn’t they do that a while ago? They’re pushing it back to help fatties with the cost of living crisis. You can’t put high fat or high sugar products on certain aisles now in the supermarkets.

Re: Woke watch
Great story on sky news today talking about cost of living crisis. The story began - For mother of 9 LindaTurmore life has never been easy. I bet it hasn’t! 9 kids! Where are the fathers? Why didn’t you stop having kids when you knew you couldn’t afford to feed and clothe them? Stories like this make my piss boil.

"- posts something provocative and borderline racist - gets backlash - complains and acts the victim These types do exactly this all the time, there's no such thing as bad publicity. Similar happened with the journalist who doxxed LibsOfTikTok."
