This, from Saturdays Torygraph; In brief, the Tory government isn’t Tory. “Real Power” is held by “Progressives” who “dominate all forms of culture “, “control education” and “decide which words we can and cannot use”...... “therefore, they are the ones in charge”.
No mention there of the cost of living, energy costs, nor the myriad benefits accruing from Brexit.
It’s them pesky Progressives.

this is so weird.
The telegraph hailing a satirical cartoon from a different country as the voice of conservatism in the UK?
I wouldn't mind but south park (if it does still work) only works because it lampoons everything.
Is Cartman the voice of Conservatives in the UK?
christ...

Think they also find liberals an easier target as the right are already too ridiculous and plenty of people are doing that angle. (And often come across as extremely smug imo)

I also don't know one liberal or progressive who's bothered by SouthPark.
Say they go after Harry and Meghan about their privacy tour, funny gag, doesn't mean I don't think the monarchy is all screwed up and they're right to get out and make some money off it.

It must be frustrating when people on the right look at the likes of Jordan Peterson or Tucker Carlson or Ben Shapiro and think that the most powerful of all these idiots is still Donald Trump.
And they have to turn to SouthPark for some lame bragging rights.
They've given us all Trump, Brexit, Putin, garbage news, hate, racism, xenophobia
and they are bent out of shape when people don't ask them to use pronouns but ask that they respect pronouns others use.

I used to be PC, now I'm woke, I'm sure I'll be something else in 5 years that basically means 'considerate'.

Meanwhile they'll be frothing at the mouth about gay teens kissing on tv.

South Park is great tbf

 

[Moomin]

South Park is great tbf

Last week it was mocking Kanye and the myth that Jewish people run Hollywood.

It will go for anyone and everyone.

I got the Sunday Telegraph recently and I couldn't believe how many stories were about wokeness. Worse than the Express or Mail I reckon.

South Park is great tbf

And very clever in it‘s delivery.

The mouthpiece for the governments planned culture war for the next election strategy.

Unless he stops reading the telegraph, reckon by next year @peteblue will be suffering shellshock from that brutal conflict.

Anyway, which words is it, that people want to use, that they think they can’t?

Mmmm, they don't like the idea kids having access to a wider choice of a certain toy? Sounds very much like they are endorsing a rather extreme versions of cancel culture anti consumerism anti capitalist ideals.

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

Par for the course for the Telegraph.

The Cons have made no secret that they are going to build division in our society by creating and stoking culture wars. It is their best hope of secruring votes in the next GE. People will get hurt or worse as a result of this and communities fracture along perceived cultural expectations.

 

[Blue 1]

Ugh. The next couple of years are going to be an absolute vortex of toxicity if they manage to stay in power that long.

Just heard some cave paintings depicting a hunting scene will be updated, as the bison are not shown to be killed in a humane way..
