The world of "Woke"

[Ryewolf90]

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.

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.

Welcome to 1984 (2022) style. As to the pathetic 'Ampshire plod, words fail, unless of course they're "Hurty" or deemed to be anxiety causing.

These days it seems that we are not encouraged to have diverse views…unless it is about diversity…white privilege is to be outlawed….transgender is good, white heterosexual is bad….gender norms are to be challenged etc,etc
It seems that we must all subscribe to a single viewpoint.
I don’t know if I dare say this (of course you dare)but isn’t that a bit fascist?

They are preaching to the converted when they waffle on to me, I have always had one view point...

Mine!

Sometimes it doesn't agree with all others but I can tolerate that. IF all others can tolerate my diversity.

i disagree margaret its your not encouraged to call the POLICE unless of coarse your WOKE.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Isn’t it ludicrous that the police have time for this nonsense?
They visit a service veteran and arrest him because some snowflake takes offence at someone ‘ liking ‘ a Twitter post.
The police cannot control drug crime, or knife crime….they do not put any effort to solve crimes.

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!

[Margaret Pilkington]

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..

[cashman]

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

[Less]

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.

[cashman]

as far as im concerned the government should remove the big wigs from office, those that are guilty of going against common sense if possible.i would hope it is but who knows?

What, I presume that the next thing you will be saying is that our police officer's need to come out with a straight arm salute and chant heil Hitler, what planet are you living on?

My rose tinted specs are broken.
And my daughter thinks I am related to Aunty Acid…I told her that yes I was…but only by marriage!
