How Did We Get Here? To Woketopia?

[ToraToraTora]

"A tiny but vocal minority of perma offended woke ****s with an extraordinary amount of power have penetrated every single aspect of our culture and will destroy you if they percieve you have a different opinion that that of your average Guardian columnist" - does that seem like the world we in habit now? Only "approved" opinions are allowed?

[bednobs]

I think the world changes, and with it attitudes. It's a sign of getting old, rather in the "what's all this crap music nowadays" or "have you seen what they put on the telly nowadays" vein of thought :)

[iluvmargie]

My God I thought that was brilliant, but it's definitely not what I wanted …

[ToraToraTora]

when he says you he means those that go in for all this lefty BS. He's saying that Wrong-Daily was a casualty of their own mantra.

Woketopia....??

Why do I get the sinking feeling that that^ is not going to be the last time that word features in one of TGT's comments.

In answer to the question, I imagine it's just a stop for the handcart on the way to Hell...... Am I right?

You do realise Jonathan Pie is comedy ?
You seem to not understand.

While I am in favour of Starmer taking a strong grip of Labour, I can’t help but think that he has been waiting to pounce on his political enemy’s mis-steps to marginalise her.
Long-Bailey retweeted (that was her big mistake) an article that the Minnesota Police Department had attended a training course by the Israeli security services.
I have not seen the (re)tweet. No one seems to be refuting the officers attended.
But just criticising Israel (the country not theJewish people) makes her anti-semitic and so she loses her job.

The woke fascists and right wing populism fascists seem to be out doing themselves for who can be the most stupid. If you fall for either argument, you are part of the problem.
Looking at you TTT.

[ToraToraTora]

comedy? perhaps, remarkably apposite? definitely!

[iluvmargie]

I know TTT, it's when he says it's what you wanted, just enforcing that it's not what I wanted. As usual, the minority always gets its way!!

[ToraToraTora]

don't think so gromit, it's at the door of "perma offended woke ****s " - I think you should look in the mirror me old china.

[ToraToraTora]

"I know TTT, it's when he says it's what you wanted, just enforcing that it's not what I wanted. As usual, the minority always gets its way!! " - yes it's the relative minority with the most inclination to moan about everything and take offence on behalf of those they think should be offended.

Tora,
Jonathan Pie is a great comedy invention, a bit Alf Garnett.
It is very nuanced. Sometimes you are laughing with him, and sometimes you are laughing at him. But really he is attacking everybody, and not taking your side (hurrah) or my side (boo), he is just attacking everyones hypocrisy, double standards, bias, and shoving it back into their *** faces. I love it.

[Mamyalynne]

He's a card isn't he, even does the vein popping well.

[Mexican18]

I'm amazed by how people carry on mistaking anti Israel for anti Jewish! My wife is Jewish and so are my children. I have many Jewish relations who are anti Israel.

[ToraToraTora]

yes fair enough, I think what he'd saying here is pretty well describing the woketopians.

[ToraToraTora]

"I have many Jewish relations who are anti Israel. " - I seriously doubt that.

[Mexican18]

I don't tell lies!
You're comment just about sums you up!

[royfromaus]

Is Gromit still a mod?

[Gromit]

TTT,
You are disingenuous.
You are very happy that a leftwing politician has been sacked, but you don’t care in the slightest if it was just or bogus. And that is where you go wrong. Long-Bailey would have let her guard down eventually, and made a real error.
Starmer was too eager, and sacked her for nothing, which will make her a martyr to the left, and more dangerous to his authority.

[Gromit]

As a rule, your question would not get answer, but I am, and why do you ask ?

[ToraToraTora]

Gromit, a hard line socialist is kicked off the front bench, that's good, I don't really care how it came about.

[ToraToraTora]

mexican, it just seems unlikely that's all, can anyone find an example of a jew that is anti Israel?
