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!
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.

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.

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

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.
