Woke watch.

Post by Beradogs »

I will update as appropriate.

Today. The police are now going to be driving around in rainbow coloured cars in deference to the LGBT community.
The All Whites (named because they play in a white kit) NZ football team are mulling over a name change as All White is a bit racist. No mention of the all blacks yet.

It’s only 2pm. There could be more before the day is out.

Michael Barrymore is also mulling a change to his famous catchphrase.

Like it. It’s going to be hard to decipher the true from the false but I will endeavour to be 100% accurate with a margin of error of 2%.

On the plus side, it means the rozzers will have to spend their day driving around in this:

I’m doing some work for a client in the food & drink sector who are updating some images of people trying their products

They told me their guidelines state all product image collections must include someone from each ethnic background

All of them were white middle-class women. I rolled my eyes so hard they almost shot out the back of my head, sadly my camera was off so they couldn’t see my reaction

All of the "woke" assertions have to be evidence based (should rule out 95% of this guff) so can we have a still of your eyes rolling prior to them attempting to shoot out of the back of your head.

Wow, you're hard! Would have been a rather short engagement if they had seen you roll your eyes one would imagine.

PS - Try and get more stereotypes into your next post.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/woke#h1

Definition of 'woke' is
being aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues

Quite incredible that certain media, politicians and other personalities deride this as ridiculous and worthless!
Why are they so keen to promote ignorance and opposition to a general social awareness and conscience?

FFS: why are we bothering with education, research, learning, knowledge - when all of this is now rubbished as 'woke'?
Turning the clock back by 200 years ....

I can see there has been some pushback from the wokies on this thread but that is no surprise. When you start covering subjects that nobody else (aside from GB news, most of the Press) is talking about you expect some heat.
Cambridge university statues will now have signs warning of whiteness. The statues are plaster casts of ancient figures. Of course, the reason that the plaster casts are white is that unpainted plaster casts are in fact, white. Still, that is not stopping the university.

“The Tiger Who Came To Tea 'could lead to rape and harassment' because it reinforces gender inequality that causes violence against women, campaigner claims”

My favourite quote: “ Adamson questioned the tiger's gender and why he was not female or gender neutral.”

You’d have to do well to beat the woke on play here today :D

Jack the chipper. A fish and chip shop is being boycotted and may have to close because activists claim the name glorifies the violence of the famous serial killer.

I see John Cleese is on C4 tonight investigating "Cancel Culture".

It's a major achievement getting onto a national tv channel after being cancelled. No doubt he will be banging on about the jerries and the war and how lazy unfunny sterotypical jokes should be allowed on the telly again. Provided of course he is the one delivering them. What are these olds like Eh?
