GB News (New British News Network)

I'm 68 year old and a weak wristed lefty. I don't think I'm immature. I love culture, I love sculptures on street corners, I love patterns, old English floral patterns, arts and craft patterns from the nineteenth century, African resist patterns, Chinese embroidery patterns, Burmese spiral patterns, culture is very important to me. I am autistic, I have a very strong inbuilt sense of right and wrong. I don't recognise your world view. 

How do you define culture?

How do you define  Woke?

Is this on tv or internet? Curious to see what this is all about I've never heard it

I think you're sort-of missing a lot of the detail.

Left and right are irrelevant - what you find is most 'conservative' leaning people are generally happy with their lives - they understand how things work and what is best for long-term survival of the species, ,culture, history etc.

Most left-leaning people tend to be young and inexperienced but very vocal - as they have been through time - it takes knowledge and education to understand your place in the world and to understand the interaction of al the things that make up society.

The immature left doesn't understand that - they have their heads filled with all sorts of rubbish but they know nothing.    They think they know best - like petulant children.    It's also shown that those who want to destroy everything are actually harbouring some severe mental problems that need sorting long before they should be allowed to tell anyone else what to do.

The whole 'woke' thing is about seeing just how far you can push a valueless, amoral, culture-less narrative where anything goes - so there is no right or wrong - to totally confuse children making them malleable 'foot soldiers' on The Long March.

I also wish they'd stop making reference to GB and the flag in the course of all their BS. My Grandfather was buried in the flag for fighting for this country, men like Neil and Boris Johnson co-opt it, and in the process dishonour it. It used to  be a synbol of the stand against oppression and fascism, not for it.

Exactly!

They probably would have called the civil rights movement 'woke' if the term existed back then. The same for the sufragettes, and those who fought for an end to the persecution of gay people. I dare say the recognition that those of us with mental health and mental illness issues now have is partly the result if progressive/woke people who worked to change the things about society they didn't like, the rules they didn't agree with.

It wasn't woke people who made the rules. It was the like of Murdoch, the likes of Andrew Neil and others in the media who helped dictate how people were treated, who helped decide the language with which people were referred to. And now there's a dawning culture or respect and recognition for people's differences the likes of Neil want to treat it as a bad thing. 

What have the right wingers like Neil done for society? What have angry, reactionary, right wingers done for the world?

I'm not 'woke' but I know which side is more likely to take us forward as a society and which side is more likely to take us backwards. And it certainly isn't the old red faced potatriot going on about how 'You can't say anything anymore!'. 

Oh, and while he's playing it off as being about countering the 'mainstream' 'left' media now, HE WAS PART OF IT UNTIL JUST A YEAR OR SO AGO. If it was so bad, so left-wing, so terribly PC why did he stick around so long? Why did he work for the BBC, of all organisations?

Because he's a fraud looking to take your money by selling you ads in between bits about what immigrants are getting that you're not and a segment from Katie Hopkins about how masks are useless and as long as you walk round with your head stuck up your own **** you needn't worry about catching Covid!

We need to be better than this. Men like Neil seek to profit from the divides in our society, not heal them. GB News will not bring the country together, it will drive us further apart. The ONLY THING keeping the 'Elites' in power is US. 

The sooner we stop letting these rats turn us against each other, arguing about who the biggest shits are, the sooner we can stop them flushing us all down the bog.

That 100,000 death toll is made up of all kinds. Black, white, rich, poor, right, left. The one thing they all have in common is a government and a system that doesn't give a *** about them.

And then I'll be expecting you up here!

Roof is all done - just got the porch floor tiling to do - but that's not structural, it's just a cosmetic job so not of interest to Building control.      It means I'm free - I can do what I want now to the property and nothing needs inspecting and signing off - driveway next!

So all the tiling done? Fantastic! You're not Petrocelli by any chance? And if you get that reference, then... well, you deserve 20 points! Brave heart, I hope the news is good for you. I'm keeping several things crossed!

Not bad thanks - had my meds rearranged and had a scan last week - get the results this morning.

Had building control around - they are happy to sign this project off as completed. -  that's a huge weight off the mind.

You ok?

Hope you're well, man.

That will be interesting.
