I think in the case of Laurence Fox, white privilege is being given a record contract by a company set up by your own family, then being allowed a platform on national TV even though you sound like this.... Are you really suggesting that black, brown, yellow, pink or people of any other colour would not do this? That the Chinese, Indians, Bangladeshis, Muslims, Jews – pick any group you like – would not,and do not do this kind of thing? Only the “white privileged”. Remarkable. Don't be daft, only Caribbean mothers

I'm certainly no fan of Lily Allen, but 3 number ones and several albums in the top 10 is slightly different to a self financed album going in at number 89 in the charts...... Would you say the Sheikhs who can buy football clubs for 'something to do' privileged , out of interest? Depends on the individual circumstances I guess......

Home of classics such as Catholic Girls, Wet T-Shirt Night and Why Does It Hurt When I Pee. For my money, Frank and the Mothers never bettered the first part of Joe’s Garage.

Labour is now the enemy of the British people. How it can begin to change that, I don't know. You really need to expand on this statement, as it's fairly baffling? The traditional left fought for freedom and free speech. The woke 'progressive' left are the enemy of freedom of speech and therefore the enemy of freedom. They don't represent the views and concerns of the ordinary people on the street, in fact they would argue against them, and condescend them, therefore they are the enemy of the ordinary people. And they will drive on with their progressive values against the wishes of most.

You still haven’t given me examples of how they are “the enemy of free speech” and an “enemy of ordinary people” sorry?

The first three Lps were just dynamite .Just imagine being there at the time For me, You are what you is and Sheik Yerbouti are up there with Joe on the later Lps

Woke politics and virtue signalling are, imo, the cancer of left wing politics, the people pushing woke politics are right now actively destroying left wing movements, if you’re a lefty you should hate the people pushing this, not the words used to describe them.

We've just seen a massive wave of wokeness during the whole Meghan markle debacle, leftists charging racism when there is zero evidence for it. The press fawned over Markle when she first came over, it was only when she started to the thumb her nose at royal protocol that some sections of the press turned on her and treated her differently to Kate, but to a wokist this was clearly all about skin colour because we’re a disgustingly racist country. It makes the left look ridiculous and is damaging left wing politics.

The claims were predominantly coming from the left, or that subsection known as the woke left, the supposed anti racists who ironically are obsessed with skin colour. You’re either acting dumb on purpose or don’t follow politics very closely if you’ve never encountered these race baiting, virtue signalling woke imbeciles on the left.

You appear to have an obsession with "the left", it's literally all you go on about.....

It’s important to keep calling them out because I believe they’re highly dangerous people, they’re giving young black and other minority people the impression that the Uk is systemically racist from top to bottom, this could demotivate a whole generation of minorities, because why bother trying if the deck is stacked against you due to skin colour ? Why bother trying ? ... But it’s isn’t, in 2020 Britain, minorities have the exact same opportunities as white people, we’re less racist now than in any time in history, we’re probably the least racist country the modern world has ever known! That’s why I fucking obsesses about these idiots on the left and they’re doing it to pump their own ego, pretending they’re fighting for social justice but it’s all self serving narcissism. I disagree with the left but respect the ones who’ve not embraced the faux social justice woke stuff ( I’ll use the term as much as I like, thanks)

Actually no, been using it since 2016/17, it’s a well worn phrase, maybe even a bit cliche now, but it accurately describes the priggish narcissistic leftists who are obsessed with finding “racism” under every stone so they can grandstand against it and get social media brownie points for being oh so “right on”... you’ve got lefty bloggers actually going to the cinema and counting the amount of lines black actors get compared to their white co stars! The woke left is attempting to resurrect racism for political purposes, it’s disgusting.

Too many factions within labour to bridge the gap, you got the woke faction, the super woke faction and the mega woke faction.🙂
