King Coconut Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 There's a Black Cock Inn in Caerphilly. That refers to a chicken though, so that's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael_3165 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I hate the term "woke". Firstly it means NOTHING at all. It used to have some meaning (awareness of injustice and inequality etc) but as with most things it has been hijacked by the right and turned into some sort of insult. The problem is that the right are wonderful at doing this shit, much better than the left that always seems to be one step behind when it comes to spinning a narrative (I say this as a liberal). When I hear anyone saying it I replace "woke" with "Hi, I'm a raging racist/misogynist/homophobe et al". It is annoying because questioning a narrative isn't a problem in itself, but the word just negates any argument a person may have. It is in the same canon as "Brexit means Brexit", "politic correctness gone mad!", "I'm not racist but..." and "take back control". A cursory look at GB "News" makes my heart sink and I despair at where we are nowadays. "Woke Watch" and other BS pieces. We need a nuance conversation where people learn that they haven't got the monopoly on the truth, that there is nuance and at the same time that maybe people need to stop taking everything so damn personally. This good/bad, right/wrong nonsense is eroding conversation and its so harmful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 16, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted April 16, 2023 Graham Linehan's been banned from Twitter, again and it takes some effort for a terf to get the boot from there considering the cunt who now owns the place.

The name definitely wasn’t based on a chicken or Charles from their signage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also noticed a nasty reintroduction of the phrase Autistic as an insult by right wing posters on certain newspaper or football sites.

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted April 17, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2023 There is a Black Boy pub in Retford. They've only just taken a picture of a black boy off the sign. Retford is not known for its progressive nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 My favourite pub signage is the White Lion in Disley. It has a Zebra, but no Lion. One assumes it identifies as a lion though eh lads? I just want my country back etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Today on twitter, anti racism campaigner Mukhtar said Laurence Fox was a racist piece of shit. Lobber did the. “You have until 5 to apologise or expect my lawyers to be in touch”. After an exchange of tweets, this was his reply.

It's weird because many people w autism are now wanting to use the word autistic. What is the matter w these bullying fucktards? (EDIT: Not autistic people!)
