Woke watch

Post arsene york-hunt »

"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."

"A major blunder by the Aust government Its settled fact that no referendum is ever passed (it required a majority of votes & a majority of states) without bipartisan support from the two major parties. They needed to consult with the Conservatives to gain that support for a proposal that came from the Uluru Statement of 2017. Naively presumed that that wasnt needed or that Conservative elements would be indifferent. Ended up that misinformation (ABORIGINALS WILL CLAIM YOUR HOUSE) & a wilful plea to ignorance ('If you dont know, vote NO') worked with your average Australian bogan & the genius slogan gave you an excuse to hide your indifference or just plain racism. At its core Australia is a very conservative insular culture & this result was obvious from a long way out. What happens next? Who knows? The Conservatives dont have an alternative plan apart from more of the same & the PM's reputation and standing have been severely damaged."

It has everything to do with it as in this case it is the colour of skin that belongs to the natural land…..hence they are called the INDIGENOUS. White people shouldn’t be there as far as nature dictates….but you still run the rule over them….

"I keep reading about the life expectancy of an indigenous male compared to an non indigenous male, it’s roughly 8 years but the gap is closing. If you consider in 1999 the average life expectancy was 56 years and now it’s 71 it shows things are improving massively yet the supporters of the act claim it isn’t."

"Careful Debs! As much as i think the Abos (now just saying that that isn't PC and would have me branded racist!) have had a raw deal and more should be done, the color of their skin has fuck all to do with it, we are all human after all, i just think more could and should be done. Nothing to do with Wokery, perish the thought? And i can and will still take the piss and call them Abos................"

"Debs, as the EU thing was a business deal to get the already rich nations richer I can’t see the comparison you are looking for. Now IF the EU had done what it promised and made Europe a level field for business’s and indeed enabled countries from the East to progress upwards to become our financial equals then people from the east wouldn’t have to move west to have much better prospects of a better life….remember they had decades to do this and STILL HAVEN’T achieved it even from East to West GERMANY….."

"Debs Most people in Australia are more than happy for more to be done for the indigenous population and when this referendum was announced it looked like it would be a straightforward and popular vote to get the constitution changed. Unfortunately, the government wasn't very forthcoming on how it would work, it was more or less a trust us on this we will give you the detail later!!! Then followed up by stuff that actually looked divisive in nature which didn't go down well, then we had a series of anyone questioning the proposal being branded racist and many of the aboriginals themselves not happy with the proposal, but the government would not listen and pressed ahead. Now they can't understand how it convincingly got rejected, all pretty sad really IMO."

"Because it institutionalised preferential privileges based on race. And unelected representatives at that. So it wasn’t democratic, and it was also racist."

Why did aborigines vote against that and why is giving aboririgines a strong voice in their own country a bad thing?

"The virtue signaling woke Australian Cricket team have been offered counseling if the referendum vote in Australia for a change in the constitution that would give a voice to Parliament for Aboriginal people failed. Well its failed and failed spectacularly with every state rejecting it, even a good portion of the Aboriginal community voted against this divisive proposition. The poor Lambs who have the honor to play for Australia (like many Celebs who also virtue signaled support) are supposedly devastated.............Boo fucking hoo. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/other/australian-cricketers-offered-counselling-if-yes-vote-isnt-voted-in/ar-AA1ibSDk"

No issue with Kegan being asked to keep his opinions to himself providing that those doing such asking do the same.

I make Keegan right. You're better off having a 16 year old lad talking about the mens games - their experience is much closer the mens game than that of an adult woman. if i played pro football and a woman started telling me what i should or should not have done i'd laugh in her face.

"I agree with him to an extent. Professional commentators and pundits like a Gabby Logan etc do a great job. The issue comes when female ex players make comments like “I’ve played in big games like this” or “when you are at the highest level I know this type of pressure” etc - they are not talking from a point of authority of reference and we all are supposed to believe them. It’s a bit odd. That being said, some of the female ex pros who really love the game and aren’t obviously focussed on their media career and image do a good job. Bottom line is, the game has to be good, no amount of commentary makes a shit game exciting whether it be a male or female commentator"

"""Kevin Keegan has been asked to “keep his opinions to himself”"" He's giving his opinion on people who's job it is to give opinions 😂 So many people can't handle anyone disagreeing or having any differing thoughts. As Churchil said ""Some people's idea of [free speech] is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage"" Many such cases"

King Kev onto the list of those who need canceling and who are a misogynist i suspect. I actually have him bang on with his comments about the lady pundits on the men's game.... https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/oct/05/kevin-keegan-asked-to-keep-his-opinions-to-himself-on-female-football-pundits Kevin Keegan has been asked to “keep his opinions to himself” after he was reported to have claimed female pundits were not convincing covering England men’s games. The former England manager and Newcastle legend reportedly told an audience in Bristol he had “a problem” with it because he didn’t think it was “the same experience”.

SurfaceAgentX2Zero 10:23 Sat Sep 30 We agree. Totally shaggable if no pillow talk afterwards. It's this thing of being a 6 but being arrogant enough to think your base level is a 9. Terrible practice.
