Here's some food for thought;-

" Like “politically correct” before it, the word “woke” has come to connote the opposite of what it means. Technically, going by the Merriam-Webster dictionary’s definition, woke means “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)”, but today we are more likely to see it being used as a stick with which to beat people who aspire to such values, often wielded by those who don’t recognise how un-woke they are, or are proud of the fact."

I was intrigued by this term WOKE that people keep using so I looked it up.

Its bollocks. 
 

“Woke” is a term applied to virtue signalling wankers that think any perception of a “supposedly” hard done by minority deserves greater privilege and exception than the majority. 
 

Current examples - obviously - include positive discrimination in favour of certain ethnic groups, overt anti Semitism (which, oddly, coincides with false anti racism narratives), terms like ‘chest feeding’ rather than breast feeding, attempts to change school language from boys and girls to ‘learners’ and so the list continues. 
 

It’s been an insidious but relentless campaign of gradually eroding what most (sane) people consider the very foundations of a decent society. 
 

If the loony left head bangers and the white privileged, guilt ridden liberals keep going down the “woke” path they will either wither into social, political and economic insignificance (as appears to be playing out in front of our very eyes), or they will achieve their ultimate aim and reduce this country to a similar sort of 3rd world caliphate shite hole as so many others around the world. 

Here's some food for thought....  😂

 

Happened across this earlier and it reminded me of these earlier posts.  He's got a way with words 😂😂😂

The coalition government also had some good ideas and showed that it could work in principle. Compromising on tuition fees was what did for the Lib Dems but that first term again was, in my opinion, a success.

Agree with that!  It always amazed me that the LibDum membership crucified Clegg over tuition fees.  Talk about shooting yourself in the foot - he had actually achieved more than any other Lib Dem before him yet they choose to sacrifice progress on the alter of perfection.  Difficult to fathom.

It’s hilarious. Just bad timing for the radio, how can it be bad taste?

I thought it was funny, but reckoned some might not, so thought I would see what everyone’s thoughts were.

It's funny because it's bad taste.
