The world of "Woke"
 

Is it just me or are the lunatics really taking over the asylum (Okay it is Brighton, but the malaise is seeping through the nation as a whole)? Everyday I browse the papers & listen to the news on the radio & it seems to me that more often than not I'm shaking my head in disbelief & lack of comprehension, I can't seem to get a grip on what has & is happening in my once hale & hearty little world!

I think I will start looking for a somewhat secluded & remote cave out in the uhloo somewhere, away from the creeping lunacy & gormlessness engulfing modern life, there to eke out my remaining days in blissful ignorance & the memories of a once sane world!

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Son…please when you find that secluded spot…..please reserve a little corner for me.
I am weary of the virtue signalling lumps that seem to be hard of thinking.
There is a school at Barrowford….just a skip and a hop away that now only serve vegetarian school dinners….have requested that parents do not include meat products in lunch boxes.
They cite climate change as the reason for these edicts.

I always thought that good teachers showed their pupils where to look for knowledge, but did not tell them what to see.
It seems not as another head teacher has indoctrinated her young pupils (primary age…so 5-11)to believe that the government is Tory Scum……and had them write letters berating the PM for the handling of current issues.

I am so glad to be at the bum end of my life on this planet.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

It’s absolutely unbelievable. If it was April 1st then I could accept it as being a joke. Do these people spend their days going through the English language wondering what they can change, searching for words that might offend. I can think of a few that might offend them, though well-deserved. .

I would hazard a guess that whoever came up with the idea of eliminating the words mum and dad have not had the privilege of being either a mother or a father. There is enough confusion in the world today without adding more to it. No wonder children are stressed out with such idiotic ideas being pushed at them.

By the way, Dave, if there’s any spare space in that cave with you and Margaret do you think I could join you, please sir…..

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Think I might need a bigger cave! :D

Anything you "sensible" folk find out there, please, feel free to add it to this thread, I'm pretty sure the "Wokists" of the world are quite far flung & are unleashing their stupidity around the globe.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

I tried living in a cave once, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It was under a millionaires mansion, I could tolerate the dark, dank atmosphere and the flying mammals, but there was a really weird bloke that would appear at night that I found a little disturbing as he seemed to have a rather strange obsession for a youth he called Robin, both of them were into dressing up, which could be tolerated except for their strange habit of wearing their underwear over their tights, plus they would disturb my peace by starting the engine of their environmentally unfriendly jet car at all sorts of obscure times of the night.

I decided a return to normality would be better than sharing life with those two.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

These changes are to placate a small minority of beings who do not like the gender they were born as…or feel that the colour of their skin makes them victims…in some way.
The media have latched onto this and it means that some impressionable (gullible) beings can make their impact felt by the majority by changing language and posing objections.
Some of the folk who are pushing the changes, are offended by proxy.
Meaning that they take offence for those in the worl who are ‘different’ but may not be offended by these words that are being erased.
It maybe that rather than be offended these ‘different’ folk see it as a celebration of their difference.
After all…..why do we refer to ‘birth givers’ rather than ‘mothers’…..how many transgender men(who were born women) give birth in the UK each year…..I would guess that it is a very small number.
Yet all other MOTHERS are being asked to accept the term ‘birth giver’….to give up the title of mother for these WOMEN who have chosen to be men.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

It's all sorts of minorities that have their own axes to grind being allowed to interfere with the majorities right to be 'normal' by the P.C. idiots.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

do know if all this rubbish in schools happened with my kids at the school i,d take them out of it and get as much publicity as possible. could see plenty of others following me. you would think its april 1st every day of the year reading things like that. says something that i have said for years, a university education isn,t for anybody who has common sense with a brain switched on properly. mind you if anyone in a shop calls me sir again i,ll sue the shop for as much as i can get when i buy my new black nighty.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

yes, and what percentage of the population are these different groups. its like a political party who gets less than 1 per cent of the votes telling the rest of us what to do for 5 years. enough is enough and the rest of us should tell em to do one.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

hate the wokists, dinghy divers, EU lovers, greenies but love meat, diesel engines, having the heat and non energy saving bulbs on when i want. thanks folks i,ll see you after my term in clink as i can hear the siren now.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

The term father will probably be changed by the lesbian lefties to 'rapists'.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

you are not alone margaret the school yer on about at Barrowford its the headmistress a silly cow with PurPle Hair the idiot was on tv last night.if my kid went to that school i would sort a petition out demanding she was SACKED.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

In 2015 this school was deemed ‘inadequate’ by OFSTED.
They have had to put measures in place to improve and the last OFSTED report had them rated as good.
I feel like going to Greg’s…..buying a large tray of sausage rolls and standing by the gates giving each child a sausage roll. Just for devilment.
She’d probably set the bizzies onto me.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

INadequate in 2015, I would say its worse NOW!

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

It's time to get onboard the woke express, there is no such thing as a badly performing school, all schools are excellent it's just that some of them tolerate poor students better than others and adjust their teaching to suit these different students.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

disagree how can a clown like her have an excellent school. most pupils at any school will try their best but with an idiot like that in charge HOW?

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

No need to disagree, I just like to wander into the realms of bullshine at least twice in one thread!

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Well, you can test easy now Less.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Aye, course they are, that is due to the wokerists highjacking & changing the meaning of the word excellent to suit their warped perception & fit their definition. ;)

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

I saw this on my Twitter feed tonight, a woman got a Dm about her post:

"I just got spanked. Someone I don’t know sent me a DM saying I showed poor taste posting about my wedding anniversary, denigrating those who are divorced. I truly did not mean to show a lack of sensitivity. I’m sorry if I offended anyone."

I sent her this in reply:

You didn't offend me, I got married in 2001 and we got divorced 12 months later. I'm sorry the woke weaklings were upset that you celebrated your anniversary and I congratulate you for your wedding anniversary and hope you have very many more.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

well i,m offended as they cast bela lugosi and christopher lee as vampires in many films and everyone knows they were not. surely all war films ever made should be distroyed as it shows one side actually winning and we cannot have that. surely hitler should have a statue near churchill as he played in the same game where it ended up everyone was a winner.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Perhaps the only war films allowed should be made in Switzerland?

it always makes me chuckle about those army knives. its the last country you,d ever think of having their own army knife. bit like south sudan having their own nuclear threat.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Not just that, but they're exported world wide, I've got 3 of them all of differing designs but at the end of it they are all products of Victorinox.

Incidentally Switzerland has a very high percentage of gun ownership, yet very little gun crime, no one there screaming & shouting about mass shootings & the danger of firearms possesion.

Re: The world of "Woke"

[QUOTE=Margaret Pilkington;1264153]Taddy I think you have misread the bunk situation….he said there would be a bunk free…not a bunk up.

Correct but bunks come with two positions, up or down.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Yes they do but a bunk up is different to an upper bunk…or at least I think it is.
Who knows these days how language is hijacked for alternative purposes.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Is this woke?

A new central heating system was fitted last Thursday, It lasted 24 hours before going faulty, I contacted the installers, they said it was a new type of boiler and would have to get the makers to call out to repair it.
Finally got a call today telling me they'll be here Wednesday, but here is the woke bit, the lady said 'the engineers reserve the right to work in a smoke free environment', my reply was, 'and I reserve the right to smoke in my own house if I so wish, so as long as your engineer works on the boiler In the cupboard, I won't follow him in with a ciggy lit O.K.?'
my normal routine when I have workers in, is not to smoke where they are working, but I won't be bullied into it.
:mad::mad:

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Not sure if it is woke….but I think they have a bloody nerve mentioning it.

I think I would be ringing them back and asking if they could ensure it was an engineer who was a smoker that came out to fix your boiler….that way everyone is happy.
Tell them that a non smoker offends your habits to enjoy a cigarette

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

If a mother and father are to be known as grown-ups and not mum and dad, are a grandmother or grandfather to be called a grand grown-up and will a great-grandmother/great-grandfather be a a great grand grown-up? (Try saying that three times fast).

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

after WW2 with all the guns about brought home by service personell there must have been far more guns about in this country than ever before or since. you never heard much about shootings but i know a couple of mates had one and my old man kept his that he used to take out in the black out when starting or finishing work at stupid times. he wasn,t on his own either by all accounts.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

another one for you. some woman came onto GB news saying the government should declare a lockdown once a storm is forecast. next it will be coastal areas locked down with high spring tides that just cover the beach.

You're not a vegetarian, just a fussy omnivore.
:eat:

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

wonder if there are fussy vegans and vegetarians also or are all plants equal.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

A strict vegetarian….why?
If you want to save the animals what are you living on their food?

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

If we all suddenly became vegetarians there would be one of the biggest culls ever witnessed as the farmers because they are not zoos and raise animals for profit would be forced to kill off their useless breeding stock.
A great deal of this 'meat' is raised on land unsuitable for growing crops other than grass so there wouldn't be much of it used to grow the fart food needed to replace the animal protein so many of us require to live normal healthy lives.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Yes Less I agree.
I tell people that I am vegetarian by proxy.
I let the cows eat the grass that I would struggle to eat….but I eat them so I am eating the vegetable matter that they ate during their lives…hence vegetarian by proxy.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Thank you, Exile, for the link to the article re the advertising for managers under the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion banner.

Out of curiosity I checked one of the vacant positions mentioned and the first line regarding this position says that ‘we are updating the design of NHS Jobs and the way you apply’. Then the second line says that ‘this means you’ll apply for that job through a new updated version of the website’. You mean to tell me that someone applying for the position of head of a department can’t work that out for themselves. Really!

By the way, it also states that the new NHS Jobs website is now available in Welsh, that’s equality for you.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

It has just been announced that British Airways will now allow their Male cabin crew to wear
‘Man Buns’ and nail polish.
That’s equally for you….but I bet they do not let their female staff sport designer stubble or a moustache.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

You'd never know, I believe most ladies like to keep their beards covered up. That said though, if they happen to be like Conchita Wurst ..... their beards are on full display for the world to see. ;)

There you go…have a look at that.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Not leaping to any conclusions but looking at her presumed ethnic background, are the death threats because of the beard or because she's trying to be an independent woman?

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Could be either Less.
All I can say is that the medical condition that causes this is treatable….so maybe she is just a bit of an exhibitionist.
I cannot imagine that as a twelve year old she was confident enough to embrace this hairiness.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

all i put it down too is shes an ugly sod that wants to be famous.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

I would hesitate to call her ugly, but then being of the same gender I do not look to find women attractive.


She must have been subject a good amount of scrutiny by both male and females….and no doubt bullied because she is different.
It is not the kind of ‘different’ that makes for an easy life either…..but it is what she has chosen for herself…..because her medical condition can be treated by either drugs or surgery….and she hasn’t….so that says she likes being different and the attention that this creates.

Re: The world of "Woke"

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Folically challenged, I belive is the appropriate euphemism.

Although, Baldilocks, Eggshell Blonde, Skin (as in Skinhead) Slapper (as a variant of Slap 'Ed & not to be confused with a female of dubious morals & behaviour) are all to the best of my knowledge part of common parlance, at least in our house anways. :D

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

I play a sniper game on my xbox I've been playing since version 2 thru to version 4,
The idea being your character is a British sniper heading off for a variety of challenges against those nasty Nazis during WWII.
The long awaited version 5 has just come out, Oh boy has it gone P.C. now each plot is held together by a very dark woman (with a broad Scottish accent) SOE operator based in France that our hero has to work with. She has supposedly been working under cover since the outbreak of the war, good job those Nazis are colour blind eh?
Anyhow, that isn't the real P.C. bit for that you are given the choice of lethal or non lethal combat, you can if in a hand fight choose not to kill but just render your Nazis unconscious, Choose between lethal and non lethal weaponry, i.e. bullets that only maim but don't kill and land mines that give them a mild surprise rather than rip their leg off!
Extra points are given at the end of the game for each of your enemies you don't kill.

Ignore the non-lethal carp and version 5 is as good as version 4 for content and competition but I can't wait for version 6 where the P.C. brigade remove weapons altogether and you sneak up on a German touch him on the arm and say, 'tag your it' before running away.

Or maybe just to keep the gays happy a game of World war 2 Kiss chase?

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Apparently 'causing anxiety by posting a meme on the internet' results in 3+ police turning up at your door, extorting an £80 fine for re-education to drop the crime to a none-crime or face arrest.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ide-flags.html

If you get burgled or car stolen you're lucky if you get a single police visit, but 'cause someone anxiety' and the thought police are at your home, not once but twice, to arrest and/or re-educate you.

Re: The world of "Woke"

The police cannot control drug crime, or knife crime….they do not put any effort to solve crimes.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Hey up, not the policeman’s fault, if this was a free world and his bosses allowed him to comment he would say ‘ ve ver only following orders’, then he would give a straight arm salute, click his heels together and march away!

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

So it is not the policeman’s fault…..is his superior not a policeman?

Or who were the ones issuing the orders he was following?

Less that is part of the problem, no one has that rare commodity ‘common sense’….and there are people out there who would be offended if you said ‘Today is Tuesday’.
Some are even offended on the behalf of those who aren’t offended….but the offended person thinks they should be.
Absolute crap-fest..

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

it is the policemans fault the big wigs give the orders.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Look, if in 1946 it wasn’t an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials to just be following orders, it isn’t now, I think the policeman should make a public apology, resign from the force (with no pension) and take anyone that sent him out of the system as well.
