    He already mentioned it.

    C'mon man, you're falling behind. You need to pull up your socks. You're like Father Jack in the corner there.

    He didn't mention either of the Big4 accounting firms who he insinuated were introducing an SOP on language based on gender and or gender preference, with a particular emphasis on balanced gender plurals.

    He did mention the " F " company, which I assumed to be Facebook? But if I am going to suss on free speech fascism, I think the fact that the poster was afraid of mentioning FACEBOOK, as being a company influencing the communications strategy of a multinational accounting practice..... then I think we can safely announce, that a new low as been acquired as regards online freedom of expression.

    If one of the only 4 BIG4 accounting firms are pandering to FACEBOOK as regards their approach to a tactful communications strategy, then I feel it is travesty for Financial Objectivity and I also think Harcourt street and every glorified Manager, Director and Partner working therein need to be wholly ashamed of themselves.

    The purpose of having an auditor is to ensure that best financial practice is being employed, to ascertain that external investment is a going concern? It is not to cow down to a gang of overpaid rich ( wokish )chunts living in and around Silicon valley, I would hope.

    I am in a rush, so apologies for any poor placement of commas above, I love you all.

    Happy Christmas.

    PS - the sooner we cancel all Father Ted references as being some sort of indication or hint of a sense of humour the better. Not because slagging off alcoholic priests is woke... but because whilst Father Ted is quite an enjoyable sitcom which has managed to stand the test of time, it only highlights a deficit in ones' bland sense of humour when they feel compelled to use it as some sort of stick to bash and patronise other posters with for starters? I get a better laugh watching Dinny, Richard and Miley bicker around the cold streets of Glenroe, or indeed watching Mary and Biddy invading the underwear section of Penneys to buy sexy bras then I ever got laughing at weekly catchphrases like " ah ya will " or whatever that phucking drunk priest used to spout, I have forgotten now. Both Frasier and Cheers are miles better anyways - for starters.

    It’s impressive that anyone still takes these auditing firms, and “rating” agencies, seriously after the last crash.

    Anyway, anyone who deals with these guys on an annual basis knows the “score”. They haven’t a clue so you tell them what they need to look at and then provide exactly that. Leaving out any potential “bananas skins” that aren’t that important but they’ll spend weeks trying to understand.

    s.

    The ' Big 4 ' also provide other business services which can involve contract staff on-site in any of the big tech firms. Those staff are effectively working for that company and subject to the same rules and cultural dynamics. Although I don't have any direct knowledge myself, in this instance, the comment strikes me as entirely plausible.

    They are the epicenter of a dangerous Oligopoly. However when it is only one degree of separation away from smartass woke chunts like Mark Zuckerburg I find that I sleep a little less. Especially when he gets to give the nod as regards the communications strategy on what is essentially the largest communications company on the entire planet.

    I find it disparaging that this is where we are at to be frank. When you factor in the fact that Father Ted is now being used as some sort of generic comedy it makes me feel genuinely unwell. Who decided that? Blackadder 2 was much funnier, especially the way they sexed up Elizabeth I as being some sort of simpleton with curly red hair who actually endowed a considerable amount of power in the western world... now who does that remind me of?

    Indeed. Rating agencies, economists and the like, all tend to be part of the woo broscience that middle management love to wheel out at powerpoint parties, but are remarkably crap at predicting the future. Nice work if you can get it though as it usually carries a big pricetag.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    He’s from the North Pole. (Although some will say Turkey). Why is Jesus 6”2 and ripped to bits and white if he’s from the Middle East circa 2000 years ago?

    I think it is because he had Albinism?

    I read in a book once he fed 5,000 people with a loaf a bred and 5 pieces of mackerel, that's a lot of ripping.

    From Socrates to Plato, to Seneca. From the enlightenment to the Scientific Method, from the industrial revolution to Nietzsche to the transistor, to food security to the digital revolution....to the data analytics tools that are making this global pandemic a fraction of the disaster it would have been otherwise...all the countless fruits of the rational bro-mind - to all the broscience.

    This Xmas we should take a moment to be grateful to the all bros, past and present who do great work so that we can all enjoy a comfortable life of self-actualising. Even if that means some will whine and complain about diversity and toxic masculinity.... while not contributing very much themselves....I guess its a small price to pay. A bro is a creature of burden among other things...so he will shoulder these flourishes of woke-ism without flinching too much. He knows that hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create woke men...woke men create hard times...hard times create strong men....etc, etc - all part of the cycle of life.

    Merry Xmas and thanks to all the bros :)

    He would have been a med person of that time, he'd be like a Greek person.

    Probably had brown eyes but that's not guaranteed.

    I assume that was made as a joke to begin with, it has to be.

    I see the video of the woman eating roasted cat which challenged the accepted tradition of Sunday/turkey roast was taken down, probably at the behest of an overly sensitive user easily dismissing their own double standards. And on the wokeism thread no less, ha the irony of it.

    People like you are part of the problem, because you and others go around seeking out this rubbish and then spreading it on in tweets and on other platforms. You fuel these people by whining about them and inadvertently pass on their message, as opposed to ignoring them and letting that message die the stupid death it deserves.

    Well done you. ;)

    Ah it's a thread where people post pictures or links of "wokeism ".

    Wokeism in itself is rubbish. That's the point in highlighting it.

    What's the woke angle?

    The club are condemning racist and sexist abuse of kids.

    Unless I'm missing something, that's the decent thing to do and not woke in the slightest.
