Cancel Culture

Burchill has been sacked by the Telegraph too now. 

 

Oh dear. What a pity. Etc, etc. 

Presumably she'll be looking for a gig on GBTV presenting the 'Have you been cancelled?' slot.

[Jockey]

Thing is she isn't indicative of cancel culture - she is just a very horrible person who has little or no talent and has been reduced to trolling. 

 

She can still say what she wants that is her right, but she doesn't have the right to a job at a newspaper. 

 

I do think cancel culture is a thing - but this isn't an example of it.

Where are we at with the Hawala thing?

What about the female ESPN reporter who I understand used a homophobic slur against a guy giving her a load of shit.  She deleted the tweets and it was 9 yrs ago.

I think someone published nude photos of her.

Jimmy Anderson now in trouble for saying Broad once had a ‘lesbian’ haircut. Seems it a reporter at Wisden leading the witch-hunt.

This is getting fucking ridiculous. They're cricketers, not nuns.

Fucks me off stuff like this. If it was up in John Moores or Salford nobody would give a fuck, yet this lot at one of the most entrenched sources of privilege and social discrimination in the history of modern western civilisation pull shit like this because it's fucking trendy. Bet none of them will be turning down the internship at daddy's mate's law firm come graduation time though. Posh twats.

Don't think I said it was ok did I? But (i) he wrote them a long time ago and (ii) they're at the really, really low end of what constitutes "racism".

Apparently the picture of the queen only went in after a vote in 2013.  It’s been removed after a vote in 2021. Who gives a fuck? I’m more concerned about whose poster all students now have after Morissey and that bird scratching her arse

have been cancelled.

Whilst I agree in general I think this has been blown up from a non story by a snitch who wanted to cause a bit of outrage trouble...

 

Here is the President of the college putting it all into perspective...

Che Guevara, as always, the leftists commie cunts.

It may be a small incident but a. I think it is a Yank, and b. Oxford represents colonial Britain just as much as any King or Queen, yet there they are! 

 

Reading about Ollie Robinson - sorry, but the lad wasn't a young kid he was 18 or 19 years old and trying to become a cricketer! You can't say racists and misogynistic shit like that and expect to get away scot free. Nobody has suggested he is suspended for good - and nobody is suggesting he is cancelled. But he should be punished and he has.

Che looks like someone who wouldn't survive a MeToo type scrutiny.

I'm not alluding to anything, just saying I wouldn't be surprised if he was cancelled one day.

Do you think he should be suspended because of the relatively high nature of his job? 

 

Because if this applies to everyone in the workplace the economy is going to collapse.

Yep, he got caught. Plus you would lose your job if you racially abused someone, or said something racial or misogynistic. He put is on his social media channels! I'm not on social media - and I don't understand why anyone would be on it for this very reason. 

[SasaS]

There is also the thing that when he put it "on his social media channels", it seems nobody at the time noticed it or protested or possibly felt racially abused enough to react. Or did they?
