    Justin Trudeau commenting on the aftermath of the beheading of a French teacher who displayed cartoons of Mohammed.
    In a pluralistic, diverse and respectful society like ours, we must be aware of the impact of our words, of our actions on others, particularly these communities and populations who still experience enormous discrimination

    Justin Trudeau is a twat. There's very few people I have less respect for.

    Hahahaha. An @rsehole of the highest order. He “mansplained” utter sh1te to her, in contravention of all of his natural delusional impulses. He was only short of doing it in blackface - another of his proclivities.

    Woke (/ˈwoʊk/ WOHK) is a political term originating in the United States referring to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It derives from the African-American Vernacular English expression "stay woke", whose grammatical aspect refers to a continuing awareness of these issues.

    For further explanation see "The.Man.In.The.Whitehouse."

    Two issues here:

    1. She is an actress of colour, not a black actress.
    2. Actress is an outdated sexist term.

    Oh please

    The terms “coloured actress” “coloured person” sounds so racist in hindsight. The “of colour” grammar change really made a massive inclusive difference, I don’t break down in remorse and shame as much for the crimes of my honkey racist far right ancestors when I hear “of colour” instead “coloured”, massive difference.

    Historically daft cult ideas were self-contained. They never seeped out from the group to spread amongst the rest of the population.

    But with social media and smartphones, daft cult ideas can promulgate unchecked - just like a pandemic actually.
    I think a lot of this nonsene is being orchestrated and put out to target people on a large scale.
    They will be teaching this BS in schools soon, wait and see. They probably already are in the US.

    In France they're almost doing the opposite of this, but in the name of feminism. Last year, the Academie (the boyos officially in charge of the use of the French language) allowed feminised versions of occupations to be used, even though they had been used informally for years.

    Lefty types popularize phrases like "...to be tolerant of...to show tolerance..we're a tolerant country". Years down the line the exact same people say when it becomes tired "what do you mean be tolerant...be tolerant of what, huh".

    And so it will be with 'people of colour', in time it will be 'what do you mean people of colour as if that's all they are, a colour', unacceptable language to describe our fellow man, it's BAME now darling <sips on a class of prosecco>'.

    I do find PoC to be one of the more ridiculous one's I've ever heard, to divide people between those who are of colour and those who arn't of colour.

    To be honest that guy is beginning to really irk me. I like his farmer Michael impression but his constant attention-seeking on Twitter is cringeworthy. He's insufferable.

    You missed the sarcasm. I though it was obvious when I used the term actress in point 1 myself. :)

    Had never heard of him until last week (a thread on here), seems to be a bellend.

    The farmer Michael impression is generally very good but Steve himself has become absolutely insufferable. Seems to be quite a nasty piece of work himself when commentating on others opinions which he against, but, constantly bawling about his depression and looking for sympathy. He did have a lot of setbacks to be fair to him. He had a terrible road accident which left him wheelchair-bound and its great how he has overcome this but id always question people who take to Twitter to constantly whine. Kathleen is gone too his equally insufferable ex-girlfriend who used be in the videos with him. Even she got sick of him

    Ive no sympathy for him being cancelled either. You cant look to cancel others opinions and then complain when it comes knocking on your door

    I've only ever seen his youtube clips and tbh every one is laugh-out-loud funny, in my opinion.
    The ban he got must be some mistake but it goes to show anyone can be axed, not just hardcore extremists.
    If we don't support free speech for everyone then we don't support free speech - is that simple.

    I find it rather stupid TBH. Being white isn't the absence of color (since i'm more pink than 'white'), nor are the variety of Asian skin types. So the coloured person, or person of colour, just reinforces how racist the people who push this terminology are.

    I like them too and i agree with you on free speech but farmer Michael himself is very choosy as to who should be entitled free speech and who shouldn't. Airing his dirty linen in public is pathetic the way he does too.

    Incidently Steve Biko made a point of the pink thing in reference to the judge at his his trial, the judge being a particularily pink speciman of a white man if I remember Donald Woods telling of it. I was given Woods book as a child by an aunt who was an early version of a SJW I suppose.

    Biko's story is something that always stuck with me and frankly informed my adult view of the world. It is a surprise to me after these many years that I am now a racist by any measure of these woke clowns.

    How ever do French, Spanish, German, Italian people manage using languages with GENDERS in them? How do they sleep at night?

    Oh yeah, they don't take much notice of the shítshow that is Merica, unlike ourselves and the UK, they don't ape everything that comes out of that fetid cesspit. Picking up tips on tolerance from the most intolerant kip in the Western world.

    According to Amnesty it's 'People', not women, in Poland who want/need abortions.

    Everyday the erosion of the word women continues until it just slips out of everyday use.

    I joined Amnesty as a teenager to help fight for the release of Terry Waite and others and for the released of the wrongly convicted.

    I left when that **** O’Gorman was fighting to have a terrorist walk the streets of Ireland.

    I’m glad I have nothing to do with the nutters now. My money goes to koalas.

    No, wait, wait - I found an even ‘better’ one earlier.

    ‘Uterus holding individual’. And I don’t think they’re talking about gynaecologists.

    It’s a shame both the parents have passed away - I would love to ask whether the midwife (can we say that now or is it midspouse??) said “it’s a uterus holding individual - they’ll tell you their gender later..” or “congrats it’s a girl!”

    No, it's socialism, bring everyone down to the lowest common denominator.

    In communism the benevolent dictatorship will stitch the leg pieces to the ones that needs them the most. And while they all bleed to death blame the capitalism for the failure.
