❄ Are you a woke bloke? (MoM approved)

It’s unacceptable to undergraduates who’ll be there for 3 or 4, years where they can be radical / right-on.

Give it a couple of years after selling themselves out to The Man, a mortgage, kids and other debts and they won’t give a flying fuck.

The only time I’ve ever felt unsafe in a workplace was when I worked with some former army nutjob who would say things like “when I got out of the Army I swore I’d never kill again” and did things like going from 0 to 60 anger-wise.

Apparently staff at the Old Vic felt unsafe about Terry Gilliam directing a play there. Twats.

I wonder if they realise the long term impact of their actions.

Soon all artforms will become so bland through fear of offending someone, anyone and it really will get to the stage of “seen one, seen 'em all” and that will be that.

Look at so-called TV comedy these days and it’s mostly panel shows of bastards so bland and boring that David Mitchell comes across as “edgy”.

Thirty years ago, I never thought that one day I’d watch Spitting Image and turn it off halfway through due to sheer boredom.

Spitting Image is one of the better shows.

And to be fair to the new show, the old show had some bad weeks too.

Don’t think South Park will ever have themselves censored again (after the Mohammed episode), so we’ll still have that as a bastion of bad taste/satire.

I love that when South Park : Bigger, Longer and Uncut was nominated for an Academy Award, Matt and Trey attended.

On acid.

Oh, ffs. In the ‘80’s there was a band named Girl. Bit girly, effeminate NWOBHM and one of them joined Def Leppard.

Don’t recall any wokeness back then tbh.

Different times I guess
