Welcome Matty
hello mate
That’s pretty much the anti-abortion stance in a nutshell though. As long as babies are born they couldn’t give a damn what happens to them / what kind of socio economic situation they have to grow up in, because whatever bad happens to the baby is “part of god’s plan” or “a test of faith” or whatever bollocks they make up so they can sleep at night. (Which is something a priest literally said to my father when my brother was stillborn)
Long story short, if these people were really “pro life” they’d be banging every single drum for social safety nets, universal basic income, affordable housing, a national health service (or a better funded NHS in the UK) and better education etc, but they don’t because they don’t really care.
Have you ever thought about taking your socially regressive horseshite over to mumsnet lad? You'd be welcomed over there.International woke day, woke history month, woke pride month, woke Christmas, woke training in work. Woke films, woke adverts. Woke medical questions. And the word woke itself, like your some some sort of higher enlightened beings. When really you just stink of BO.
I’m currently observing international ignore all woke identity politics celebrations and holidays century.
This is an Everton board soft lad, EVERTON, created originally from a small migrant population of socialists from the ideals of The Limerick Soviet of 1919 where our forefathers fought and gave up their lives in the fight against bigotry where brother/sisterhood and acceptance of all as equals was the driving force, that NOBODY should be excluded on the basis of race, class, gender or sexuality.
This 'woke' that you spit out of your mouth like it's poison is an extension of that freedom from bigotry and fascism.
If hadn't been for 'WOKE' there would be no bank holidays, no paid maternity leave, kids and women still in workhouses, no free education, no free health care when needed, no trade unions as a bullwark against the kind of Feudalism that the Tories are trying to recreate.
So let's have less of your noise about things that aren't all about you, you, you and that you haven't thought about...apart from a knee jerk reaction to idiocy that you've sucked up from pervasive and pernicious influences and let's have a bit more acceptance,understanding and compassion and a realisation that WOKE back in the 1840's and 1920's led to voting rights for all and things that make your life much better than it could and should've been.
Sidenote, if certain people don’t want to be asked if they’re pregnant at a hospital (which definitely happened) then maybe they should lay off the steaks and peroni for a while, I hear avocado toast is healthy.

Pah. It's those immigrant Stegosaurs you need to look out for, coming over here on rafts with their heat reactive spikes wanting to be accommodated in the best forests with the best nests and all because of their variant greeny yellow skin colour. Some of them even identify as Stegelodons.
It's ok, there was some bot on here previous chatting about cavemen living alongside dinosaurs, the bots name was emir at the time, it's now kevtheratski, why they have to pollute this place is beyond fathom, Everton cause enough strife.
This could have gone in the Conservative or Grifting thread, but here it is from Jeremy Hunt via https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/10/02/eremy-hunt-pledges-to-sack-63000-civil-servants/
Jeremy Hunt has told ministers to draw up plans to reduce the size of the Civil Service by 63,000 people to save £1 billion a year.
In a speech lasting only 14 minutes, the Chancellor said he would specifically like to see fewer diversity and inclusion staff who spread “woke” values around Whitehall.
He told delegates at the Tory conference that he would extend a recruitment freeze for the Civil Service and said that on top of this, each department would have to put forward plans to reduce the number of officials they employ.
The aim is to reduce the size of the Civil Service from 457,000 now to its pre-pandemic size of 394,000 – a cut of about 15 per cent.
It means there will be 63,000 fewer officials, although it is not planned to make any compulsorily redundant.
Mr Hunt said departments would also have to carry out an audit of inclusion staff to ensure they are needed.
There are about 10,000 such staff in Whitehall, and Mr Hunt’s expectation is that this will be reduced.
“We have the best civil servants in the world and they saved many lives in the pandemic by working night and day,” he said.
“But even after that pandemic is over, we still have 63,000 more civil servants than before.
“New policies should not always mean new people. So, today I’m freezing the expansion of the Civil Service and putting in place a plan to reduce its numbers to pre-pandemic levels.”
He added: “If we increase public-sector productivity growth by just half a per cent, we can stabilise public spending as a proportion of GDP.
“Increase it by more and we can bring the tax burden down. ”
John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, welcomed the plan, saying: “Freezing Whitehall expansion is a step in the right direction.
“The mandarin jobs boom is one of the key drivers of the cost of government crisis that is hammering taxpayers.
“With the size of the Civil Service frozen, the Chancellor should now look to find savings by winding down unnecessary roles.”
“Jeremy Hunt may pride himself on being on the pragmatic wing of his party, but his announcement on Civil Service numbers is straight out of the Jacob Rees-Mogg playbook,” he said.
“Just like with the earlier Rees-Mogg announcement that the Civil Service would return to pre-Brexit staffing levels, picking a point in time in the past and deciding that is the right number of staff to deal with the public service challenges of the future is intellectually bereft.
“It is so glaringly arbitrary that all it does is demonstrate that this is not a serious government.”
10,000 damn wokers spread woke values, grrrr. Presumably with a trowel over the walls of Whitehall?
Ever ludicrous enemies this lot pick, no?
Jeremy Hunt aims to cut 63,000 Civil Service jobs
Chancellor targets staff who spread ‘woke’ values around Whitehall in effort to save £1bn a year and ‘bring tax burden down’Jeremy Hunt has told ministers to draw up plans to reduce the size of the Civil Service by 63,000 people to save £1 billion a year.

Cut taxes
In his speech, the Chancellor suggested that improving public sector productivity could enable him to cut taxes.“We have the best civil servants in the world and they saved many lives in the pandemic by working night and day,” he said.
“But even after that pandemic is over, we still have 63,000 more civil servants than before.

‘Intellectually bereft’
But Dave Penman, general secretary of the FDA union, which represents senior civil servants, said Mr Hunt’s announcement was “intellectually bereft”.“Jeremy Hunt may pride himself on being on the pragmatic wing of his party, but his announcement on Civil Service numbers is straight out of the Jacob Rees-Mogg playbook,” he said.
“Just like with the earlier Rees-Mogg announcement that the Civil Service would return to pre-Brexit staffing levels, picking a point in time in the past and deciding that is the right number of staff to deal with the public service challenges of the future is intellectually bereft.
