Remember, intolerance will not be tolerated. Being serious, what's concerning here is the complete lack of backbone shown by the RAF leadership, everyone merely backside covering and not willing to stand up against this. Careerists gonna career, as the kids say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is this thing about trying to score wokie points ? A PM that refuses to define a woman, A mayor that refuses to target criminals because of their race or culture ? If theres one thing Ive learned in my 57 years, its that if you give someone an inch, they will take a yard, what happens next, sports teams have to drop their nicknames because someone MIGHT be offended ? Have we really got to the point where we have to beware what things are called because at some point in history, that name meant something associated with violence or subjugation ? The issue is it only seems to work one way, we are being made to feel guilty of our history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the driving force to pretty much everything happening in commercial property management, now; this includes making a meal of Pride, Black History month, etc, etc, etc, pretty much all the woke causes. Afterall, Larry Fink did say that behaviour will be forced. Larry Fink, CEO Black Rock, the instigators of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance).

My partner works for a marketing and promotional multinational, she was asked to head up her sections DEI, there isnt a month goes by, sometimes several times a month, where there is some celebration of minority culture, days off, parties, ect, there is only one culture or race that ISNT represented, can you guess which one ?

By labelling woke you're actually paying some people a compliment in their eyes. Let's not confuse stupidity for anything but stupidity.

How would you distinguish between woke and humanist? From your choice of words there I could interpret that you’re calling me woke and judging me as a hypocrite because you know I don’t believe whatever it is that you think makes me woke?

I said the other day I thought you were a good bloke 😂 A bit misguided at times, but that's just my opinion, you probably think the same of me, sometimes. 15 minutes ago, Raja Clavata said: How would you distinguish between woke and humanist A humanist believes the truth of his/her beliefs, a wokey doesn't, they just want to sound good in their own echo chamber.
