"Wokeism", which is a shit term and not easy to define is a pretty minor drain on resources, but it does frustrate people when times are tight and services are cut and dozens of jobs are created for a variety of reasons that many question the benefit of. There is also, like most of the identity politics stuff, quite a lot of division that can occur from it.

Stonewall is the classic example, who created a workplace equality index (very 2020's) and ranked companies, but part of the ranking was assessed on signing up to a programme that Stonewall provided and were handsomely rewarded for.

It's a bit of a scam really. It's all overblown, but there's a pseudo religious element to a lot of the 'woke' stuff that isn't very open minded and has ingrained itself a little too much IMO.

The country is reeling under news that the average family will have to pay a predicted £4.1k a year come January for their gas and electric, we’ve got inflation at a forty year high and predicted to rise to 15 per cent next year, the economy shrank bu 0.1 per cent between April and June, so the expected recession is looking to be an inevitability and wages are losing even more ground on prices and the Prime Minister presumptive thinks the most important thing to talk about is alleged anti Semitism in the Civil Service - as I said, mad.

Nancy Pelosi showed that today. I used to have respect for her but she's shredded that today. I detest the way politicians bury their principles to satisfy selfish interest. Not all do it but alarmingly a majority do. It sours democracy.

She loves the limelight , her showboating with Trump was just as much about her ego , than hating or dealing with the orange man

I agree with you, but by the same token, whilst that is going on, you have been keener than most to talk about the prime minister eating cake.

Or equally, with all that going on, the most popular thread at the moment on CCMB is some bloke calling someone who isn't gay a gay slur out of their earshot.

There are always bigger issues, but it doesn't mean other things can't be talked about and in fairness, it was you who brought it up here.
