The Last Word

You could just as easily build a Roe- Bot 3000 , programme a bunch of WOKE bites for any given story and Bobs you’re uncle

I see what you did there…..

I’m genuinely shocked to hear this. All jokes aside but at this stage I don’t actually believe he means this stuff and is just playing to the woke gallery - which ironically is most likely a fraction of the size it’s imagined to be.

Even #WokeTubs was against it apparently……though he has called for other books to be edited, missing of course the point. It’s a slippery slope the auld editing and censorship - once you start that you’ve already lost.

I just listened to part of Roe McDermott covering/discussing the week in review on TLW. This is the first time I've heard Roe in a long time btw as she went off radar for some time. You may know Roe as being uber-woke and a sister of a not so good egg so to speak. Well she proudly went off on a rant about women's sports being not treated equally as men's and included the following statement in her rant - "this is the first Women's World Cup to be played on grass". This is factually incorrect but was let slide by Nathan Murphy (filling in for Matt this week) and Ciaran Cunningham (sports journalist) - both of whom know or at least should know that this is untrue. She then talked about injury rate on astro v grass to add weight to her story of inequality, without contradiction or correction from the male hosts; when again, her original statement is not true.

She then went on - of course - to endorse the replacement oif the 7 Dwarves in the new Snow White adaptation, and the portrayal of a white German Princess by a latina actress. She gave the example of Peter Dinklage talking positively about this - easy for Dinklage, the most famous and richest actor of small stature (apologies if that's the incorrect verbiage - genuinely, not trying to offend) in the world and gets offered every role suited for his stature and more. Other short actors disagree, but she failed to mention any of those of course as it doesn't suit her argument. Check out Piers Morgan's interview with Dylan Postl below:

Roe was loud proponent of and indeed champion of "I believe her" and "a woman must always be believed" type phrases in various high profile rape and sexual assault cases over the last few years, but remained curiously silent on one case. Intriguing, and another not so good egg might say.

It was, but went completely unchecked or corrected. It was a very deliberate comment I believe designed to mislead and exaggerate a disparity between the men’s and women's games and portray some sort of inequality and discrimination where none exists. I really am shocked that Murphy and Cunningham (both sports journalists) let her away with that when they both know it was a lie.

When describing the prize money on offer again she decried the discrepancy between the men’s women’s funds; ignoring of course that the men’s game attracts viewership numbers that dwarf the female tournament’s; not exactly a like for like comparison.

She also said the winners get “four point twenty nine million”. She meant 4.29, but I’ve never heard anyone describe decimals like this, has anyone?

Oh and she mentioned she teaches creative writing…..I’d love to be a fly on the wall in that class, though I fear I might try and drown myself in ink after about 3 minutes.
