Whatever happened to the Black Marias? Bloody ridiculous.

Really glad that we live here. We have none of this in fact we joke with NR friends about colour. I don't think that I would last two minutes in the UK with all this *****. Is there an anti woke group wot I can join? National front?

Ex-A - Is that real? If so it's just a matter of time before it's compulsory, at least for promotion! ;;)

The murderess who ordered the slaughter of the Brazilian electrician is a bull dyke. Now she's the Commissioner of the Met.

One is unsurprised that s/he has ordered that livery on cop-cars.

What does it look like from the front? Does it enable to rozzers to sneak up from behind you in plain sight so they can do what they want to do?

As a child, my mum bought freshly-shot rabbit, and indeed we had to watch out for our teeth with the lead shot in the stew. Nowadays the very thought would arouse the ire of many different woke groups.

Some of the pies during the shooting season have to be eaten with a certain amount of care, which is not always easy after a few pints of Wadsworths 6X :))
When all else fails, read the instructions.

Probably justified and that one isn't far off from being forced to draw her pension.

"I have never come out as straight. It is just not a thing. Hold onto that thought – how often do you think about disclosing you are heterosexual?"

Well I have but it doesn't seem to have done any good. :((

"So we are in the midst of Pride season."

Can I get the exact dates please so I know when to fly the flag? :-? :-w

‘Sexist’ Tiger Who Came To Tea causes rape and harassment, say activists

Charity suggests removing children’s books, such as Judith Kerr’s beloved classic, that reinforce ‘old fashioned’ portrayal of women
By Daniel Sanderson, Scottish Correspondent 23 August 2021 • 6:54pm

The beloved children's book tells the story of a talking tiger who arrives unannounced at a home and consumes all of the food and drink inside

Children’s stories such as The Tiger Who Came to Tea are causing sexual harassment and rape because they reinforce “harmful” gender stereotypes, campaigners have claimed.

Zero Tolerance, an influential Scottish campaign group largely funded by taxpayers, highlighted Judith Kerr’s much-loved 1968 classic as an example of a “problematic” text due to its “old fashioned” portrayal of women and family dynamics.

The group’s co-director claimed on Monday that removing some books which feature gender stereotypes, such as housewives, female nurses or secretaries, from nurseries would be “a small price to pay for the lives of women”.

The Tiger Who Came to Tea, seen as Britain’s best-loved picture book, tells the story of a talking tiger who arrives unannounced at a home and consumes all of the food and drink inside.

Rachel Adamson, co-director of Zero Tolerance, questioned why the tiger was male rather than female or gender-neutral, and highlighted the “old fashioned, stereotypical” ending in which the father comes home from work and “saves the day” by taking his family to a cafe.

She said the book could be used to “raise a conversation” in nurseries and did not necessarily need to be banned.


Do they want to formerly 'female' 'father' to be making tea with the kids while the transitioned 'mother' is out at work? :-bd
