Some interesting thoughts and observations on the dangers of the "war on woke".

 

 

It's interesting that.

 

I've suspected for a while that a lot of these stories are blown out of proportion (much like anti EU 'wonky banana ban' type shit was) in order to encourage a right wing backlash. 

 

I also actually think a lot of the mentalists who push this stuff are being enabled/encouraged to do so by people who will benefit from that backlash. If you look at a lot of these people (low level celebrities, Twitter influencer types etc) they wouldn't ordinarily have the clout to be making the kind of news that they currently often do, it's almost like it's being amplified.

 

This stuff does go hand in hand with the rise of fascism. Nazism etc came on the heels of the roaring 20s, cabaret clubs etc and part of the right's toolbox for wesponising the mob was cultivating the idea that only a strong party or government could reimpose some sensibility and social norms.

Wokeism can fuck right off .

Maybe it's one for the 'growing older' thread, but I never thought it would become perceived to be a bad thing to care for people other than yourself.

Repped because I assume you mean that people who call things woke to justify being a cunt are cunts

There is a difference between caring for yourself and caring for yourself enough to ruin things for others.

Sue Barker has done a write up in the daily Mail about her sacking from question of sport. Comments section is saying the bbc had a “woke” agenda. I’m gutted because she was sound as were Tufnell and Dawson but can anyone tell me what’s woke about the changes? Because as far as I can see they are saying “woke” because the two captains aren’t white Caucasian. Unless anyone can tell me what I might be missing?

I don't think it's woke, more trying to replicate A League Of Their Own. I liked the old Question of Sport, but he new captains are pretty good, especially Sam Quek. The new host and format, not so much.

Replacing a woman with Paddy fucking McGuinness is "woke". Obviously.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Wink woke widdely wink wank woo.

[Section_31]

I think they'd just tried to modernize it. Question of sport somehow managed to make sport seem boring, crusty cunts agogo.

 

I caught some of it the other day and it looks like they've toned down the hijinks already. McGuiness just asking questions rather than doing all his ging gang goolioo bullshit.

 

Also, what percentage of sports people are white men anyway? 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Should have been Sam Quek.

It obviously isn’t woke. 
 

But it’s fucking obscene that cunt McGuinness is employed by the bbc.

Yeah it’s shite now. 
 

I’m still dying to know why a certain ilk of cunt think it’s woke. Maybe a few of them on here could shine a light on it?

He is one spawny bastard: just think of the limits of his talents and the number of high profile jobs he gets.

Nice one. This is great. 

[lifetime fan]

The missus really doesn’t get him, doesn’t find him funny at all. 
 

Even when I don’t find him funny I just think of how much he’d piss off the MiL. Which makes me at least smile and most times dribble a little bit.

Thanks for the link. We had tickets for this specific show at York and had no idea it was being recorded, but we had to jib it off. My missus’s dad had just gone into hospital and we went to visit him, with the thought we’d do that (in york hospital) them crack on to the gig, but we just had to jib it. My missus wasn’t in the right headspace and we didn’t want to rush the visit. Great it’s something we could watch tonight, with her dad still in hospital, and now in an acute ward and really seriously ill to the point of her coming home early from our family holiday last week in case she might not get to see him again.

You probably never envisioned Tory government after Tory government being elected despite treating it's population like absolute shite though,in your defence as a young man.

What a horrible cunt

 

 

 

 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Pearson is a shit-spouting cunt of the highest order. 

 

Ask anyone who has seen that deaf woman's dance with the silent interlude in it whether inclusion and entertainment are mutually exclusive.

[redinblack]

Lawrenson said this week he was let go from the BBC as he was a white male.

 

I read a comment from him once where he was going somewhere with his ex wife and in the debate about where to go he said "I pay so I say". 

 

There's no coming back from that prehistoric thinking for me

I saw Ellie at Stockport train station last week, she was lovely and we wished her luck.  She said she was very excited.   
 

Now I know it sounds stupid but I didn’t realise how small she was.  She couldn’t reach the button to open the door.
