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."

"Strangely enough, I don't give a fuck about what a shop is called, who owns it and what branding it adopts. So long as it sells what I want, how I want, when I want it at a price I find acceptable they will get my custom. I don't use my most local supermarket because of what it's called or who owns it, I use it solely because it's my most local."

Re: Woke watch
Bit ironic for the BBC to trumpet diversity at the London Marathon. The leading competitors seem to be the same old MONOCULTURE Missed the end .... Did Mahamed Mahamed make the British Olympic team?

Re: Woke watch
"'That's why we go to Iceland': Supermarket scraps famous slogan to be more inclusive Iceland has dropped its famous ""That's why mums go to Iceland"" tagline as part of a drive to be more inclusive. The frozen foods giant historically advertised with ""mums love it"" when it first opened in 1970. It adopted its classic slogan in 2004, with pop star Kerry Katona fronting its advertising campaigns. But the chain, which opened its first store in Oswestry, Shropshire, in 1970, has now changed its strapline to a more neutral ""that's why we go to Iceland"" - which bosses say reflects its ""growing customer base"". TV personality and Big Brother winner Josie Gibson, the company's new ambassador, said the new tagline was ""great"". ""Even though mums love it, Iceland is for everybody,"" the mother-of-one said. Executive chair of Iceland, Richard Walker, said: ""Iceland's always been number one with mums and our new campaign celebrates our growing customer base, from across all aspects of the great British public."""

"Has the first tranche of sacrificial illegal immigrants being sent to Rwanda been chosen by do-gooders yet? They will clearly need something that proves (PROVES) they were right all along in opposing this and there seems to be a constant, endless supply of such people so, as with deaths from the Covid vaccine, a few ""taking one for the team"" has got (GOT) to be fine for all of us."

Re: Woke watch
Only the BBC could turn the marathon into a lecture on inclusivity and diversity. Fucking pricks.

Re: Woke watch
"I've noticed that in the big 'blockbuster' games like Man Utd v Liverpool, City v Arsenal, The North London Derby etc, there isn't a female commentator anywhere near the place. Same as England games, never heard a Doris on the mike. Wonder why. Watching with the volume down is the answer if you don't like what you are hearing. When I go to games, I don't have the person sitting behind me giving a commentary on the game and I don't need someone on the TV telling me what's going on."

Re: Woke watch
"When you have 'experts' on it is to give their opinion on the game based on their experience Some are articulate and insightful and others arent If you are going to put up a woman who hasnt played at the level and intensity of a top Premier or Champions league game then surely you have to look at intelligent articulate ex League 2 and non-league men Which doesnt happen and never will even though they have played at a higher standard than say Eni Aluko Agree that the female hostesses ... Mrs Dalglish, Gabby Logan & Lyndsey Hipgrave are better than the men like Lineker and that Jake Humphrey. Others like Laura Wood and jolly hockey sticks Balding ... not so much"

"Erm, West Ham was an established professional mens team so of course you couldn't be described as that, whereas she played for the womens Leeds equivalent which didn't have a professional side at the time.....so......."

Re: Woke watch
I love it when they describe Lucy Ward as the ex Leeds striker. She played for them during the amateur days. I once played in goal for West Ham back in the soccer aid days but I’m not described as the ex West Ham goalkeeper.

Re: Woke watch
"I always feel the women are picked by who wants to brave being in front of the camera or who looks good in front of the camera, rather than those who are actually knowledgable on football and there are I should think quite a few who are overlooked. That is because I think 'football fame' and all that comes with it is still relatively new in the womens game, so they are dealing with what is really sudden attention."

Re: Woke watch
"""There is literally no reason for women not to.commentate, present or be pundits on the mens game"" Correct, as long as they're capable. Gabby YORATH, Clare BALDING & Kelly DALGLISH are far better presenters than Gary LINEKER, for example. Eni ALUKO, for example, is a terrible pundit. Melissa REDDY is an excruciatingly terrible 'expert', for example. If they are there based on qualifications and competence, good luck to them. If they are not, then they shouldn't be there. It isn't at all complicated."
