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."

"I know it’s not really connected to WOKE, although I would take a heavy bet on the two women involved being completely 100% agreeing with all its sentiments, but that lobbing Tomato soup all over Van Gogh’s sunflowers painting, has pissed me off a lot more than is probably good for my health."

"I would say equality legislation would have had a decent impact upon the market. I would say that women generally getting more equal economically would have a big impact. I would say that gays having important roles in business, government and entertainment has a big impact. I would say that a couple of generations of immigrants integrating would have a n impact. All that said there still does seem to be generally an over reaction by corporations in general and I'm guessing that there is no legislation stopping them from doing this. In the end follow the money."

"SurfaceAgentX2Zero 1:44 Sat Oct 15 There has not been a noticable drop in viewership or purchasing amongst men since such adverts began. Other than a move to different platforms of advertising that affects all groups. There are missteps or even huge gaffs like in every industry but there is no trending to say that it is damaging. Your personal - conciscious - purchasing habits aside (I have them as well), advertising works and continues to grow, pandemic year aside. Even though most people say it does not affect them."

Re: Woke watch
"All ""leaders"" in the big national company I work at have to take a, three day inclusive leadership course. I've done the first two days. It was basically two days, of being told by an EDI specialist how not to be a massive racist or homophobe. At the end of the second day we were asked what we'd ""take away with us"". I actually learnt nothing from it so I can't remember what I said. To be fair the content wasn't mad or anything. It was just ""don't be racist"" etc for two days. That could have been done in an email. The person delivering the training was apparently massively expensive. Good gig. In the lunch break there was a discussion about how our company was perceived and how unfair it was that we'd been criticised as a company for being woke. I said to them all it's because we ARE woke and that's not representative of how the majority of public think. There was tumbleweed at that comment. I don't think anyone has ever said that out loud to them before. I've still got day 3 to come."

"IoC We don't actually know that, do we. Furthermore, the idea of advertising is to INCREASE sales. We certainly don't know this has happened to an optimal degree or whether the advertising agencies have been wasting their clients' money. Incidentally, there's lots of things I won't buy because I don't like a company's adverts. Clearly, I have to buy some stuff wherever I can get it."

"Everybody has noticed the woke movement and all of its manifestations, nobody seems to be asking ""why?"" Its clearly being pushed by huge corporations and governments in lock-step, but nobody is asking ""why?"" Its clearly not a bottom-up (ooer) movement and is being imposed on society and we are being nudged towards acceptance of more and more ridiculous ideas. But nobody is asking ""why?"" Its pointless moaning about disproportionate ethnics and homosexuals in adverts, or laughable diversity training at work or mis-gendering, pronoun police, hate crimes, harmful content policing by OFCOM. It's all co-ordinated and being imposed, and you should ask yourself ""why?"""

"People will eventually lose all interest in adverts, they know that if they want something general or even specific, then they will be able to find it themselves, at a significantly lower price than the advert. It'll be the eventual end of adverts. Good."

Re: Woke watch
I have lived abroad for 15 years and my views on Britain come via TV. I hadn't realised that Britain was full of gay people and Mixed heritage couples. Some of my friends that mostly live in SW England assure me that isn't true. I don't believe them because it must be so when it is so accurately reflected on TV....

"collyrob 2:54 Fri Oct 14 Can't cheer for him really (the team he coaches) but agree with his comment. Playing sports as a kid, your team was your team, whoever was on it. Lots of Native kids played hockey for instance. You play ball - he coaches it. Now outside the game, the sport guys could face off against the non-sports guys, but the actual sport was always about who was best, not who you were."

Re: Woke watch
Why is boys and girls and different backgrounds tending to go into and not go into different fields considered some sort of problem that needs correcting? Not enough Asian girls into football you say? Shall we extend this to not enough wealthy Nigerian girls into bricklaying or not enough heterosexual white working class boys into wedding planning? Eliminating all social peer group influence and individual choices is not exactly realistic. You'll be close to eliminating free will.

Re: Woke watch
"Fo the Communist 6:00 Agree. And conclude that the likely actual root of the problem is not enough black/asian/non white girls getting involved at a young age or sticking with it through teenage years. So therefore how do you tackle THAT problem? The fact that there aren't many non white players in the current squad is only a symptom of that problem. The manager is clearly picking the best players from the pool available to her, as results will testify. Rather than the knee jerk solution of imposing selection criteria to the manager, which will likely cause her to resign anyway, look at what can be done to get more non white girls coming through the system from school age up."
