Current Affairs Nostalgia and 'A Golden Age' Crap

[Jebus_lives]

Because of course pro-government political suck up internet nerd types are famously the most manly of men.

Don't be ridiculous. They won't be doing any fighting.

Speaking of Ghouls and War fetishism…



I’m hope Musk/Bezos & co. hurry up and invent time travel so we wan send this lot back to London circa 1941, seeing as though things were so great back then ?

Storm Eunice is here...

The Met Office can only predict, they will never give a straight answer...

Strong winds don't affect me. I need to live my life. I've left all the garden furniture out, windows are open for better natural air flow, this "stay indoors advice" is just a way of controlling me, I remember Storm Dudley and it passed me by no problem.

Pretty convenient that next week we end restrictions for Covid and the Met Office announced red weather warnings if you ask me.

I'll be up in the microlight as usual.

Nothing will stop my microlighting or my kids parachute session.

Turns out the parachute session has been cancelled...

The woken SS have got to the company and they say they won't fly. Vocal minority ruining my kids weekend. Going to have to spend the day inside now - no microlight for me and no parachuting for the kids (terrible for their mental health).

I'm currently drafting a letter to serve the Met Office under The Magna Carta and Nuremberg Code statutes on the statute books precedent in law.

George needs to join the fight.

Luftwaffle
Noun & verb: Bleating on about World War II and the "Blitz spirit", despite having never experienced or having any real understanding of it. A combination of Luftwaffe, the German Air Force, and waffle, mindless talk.

The blitz spirit was invoked a lot during covid lockdowns. For sitting on ones sofa eating jaffa cakes. Who knew!

Expect another three years of this crap.

This is fake news, it never happened.

What does a 'woke' lesson on the British Empire consist of? Telling the students that we spent most of history being a country of murderous, genocidal colonisers who looted half the planet of its resources, wealth and people to fund its expansion?

Telling the truth is woke now? lol

No, it consists how we saw off the murderous and cowardly froggies in 1066 to maintain our island race of pure Saxon/Viking/ Roman/ Celt/ Gaul and all she stood for.

Same nonsense that’s going on in America right now. Imagine being so proud of your history that you banned children from learning about it.

This is what I love about the use of the term 'woke', I believe it generated from being 'awake' to all of societal problems and an understanding that these were not the right way to live. Being against Racism, Sexism, any kind of division between fellow humans.

Basically, as you say the truth about the world we live in, not some kind of 'I am better than that person because I look and act differently to them'. That has seemingly been taken apart by some people to mean nothing to all kinds of truth, if we teach about our bad past then it is a bad thing and therefore 'woke'.

They think it is some kind of insult but in reality it means they are unknowingly complimenting you on your ability to show empathy, a willingness to understand all of history, your ability to adapt by learning off the past mistakes, they are literally and unknowingly telling you that you are better and a lot more intelligent than them

Exactly how I see it

Thought this would be a: where were you when John Lennon died type of thread.
