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
"Well if they want to make a woke, feminist version of 1984 it’s really up to them, personally cant see the point but if they think there is a willing audience then go ahead. But would lay very short odds that had it been the other way around, and had 1984 been deemed a feminist classic, re done from the male perspective they would be more than a few on social media and at varies institutions calling for it to be boycotted if they couldn’t get it banned. A few classics have already been binned by some institutions and schools, to kill a Mocking bird for example, as its racist!!! Still can’t get my head around that one? Huckleberry Finn, slavery links and even though it’s been re written without use of the “N” word, still not good enough and inappropriate for the kiddies. 1984 may have been fiction but it is eery how some of it is coming to pass…….."

"Nothing of value to add aside from glib snides. Just a bit telling, isn’t it. Not too much of a thinker, which is a shame. Those who deal in black and white thinking permeate both sides of every debate. And isn’t it true that it’s those who parade themselves as the great free-thinkers, that are often the most constrained by their own self-imposed boundaries. What a joke."

"Sydney_Iron 12:59 Sun Jan 2 I can see there is a certain irony but the fact is we are not talking about a re-writing of a novel, nor even abridging or sanitising of the original. We are talking about a retelling, crucially approved by Orwell's estate, from the perspective of another central character. I suspect Orwell might well have had more of a problem with the (non) story being spun by the serial fact-benders at Infowars as much as the rewrite itself."

Re: Woke watch
"Fo the Communist 12:43 Sun Jan 2 Thats true Fo, but do we really need a woke femanist version? Had it originally been written in that way, would in this day an age a version with a white bloke called Winston Smith as the main character been made? Then the irony in the original it warns of the dangers of revising history and rewriting books? Yet here we are in the 2020,s tearing down statues, banning books and old TV programs, being ashamed of our past, even calling for comedians to be cancelled...."

"riosleftsock 1:56 Sat Jan 1 Wouldn't it be a dystopian world if those in charge of Orwell's estate were not allowed to give, via their own freewill, permission for a retelling of the story?"

"I saw the firework display, which was followed by some bloke singing crap and dressed as a woman. He was an ugly fucker with a pudding basin haircut. I thought that if this is the sort of cսnt who is valued in society, I have probably been alive too long."

Re: Woke watch
The lead up to Big Ben and what followed leaves us in no doubt it’s an all out assault by the BBC against the majority view in this country.

"My wife was watching a quiz show yesterday. There were 3 pairs of contestants. Two black women, 2 Perry Comos, and two massively obese salad dodgers. It hosted by Indian ""comedian"" Adil Ray. Oh and from the five minutes of it that I saw, it was utter shit. It was on ITV who are every bit as woke as the BBC."

Why not make the law simple. Kill an innocent bystander you get life. Kill an gang member be given a small financial reward.

"A proposed bill in Washington state wants to eliminate drive-by shootings as an enhancement to murder charges in the name of RACIAL EQUITY https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=1692&Year=2021&Initiative=false Difficult to put into words how mental it is that the skin colour of actual murderers should have any bearing on how harshly they're punished. But here we are. Progress, I suppose."
