War on Woke: Conservative Cultural Campaigning

[Cloo]

Saw a twitter thread about someone who was speaking to votes in the Rother Valley about their priorities and... suprise, surprise, combatting treating people decently... I mean 'wokeness' features nowhere on their priorities. People really do have more important shit to think about.

I’ll assume you meant “voters” above, but I wouldn’t put that phrasing past politicians these days tbf.

Apparently, "not dying of heat stroke" is now a bunch of wokery.

Wow. Wokery is incredibly adaptable.
I can see why they’re scared.

Those huts we had the science lessons in - that doesn’t bear thinking about in the kinds of temperatures they’re talking about…

hmm aye back in my day no one worried about kids on hot days and sports days

i remember fondly my last school sports day when i was about 13 in july sun and policy was not to let the kids inside during the day
so me and my ginger hair spent 9 hours out in the sun

and could not walk for 3 days afterwards due to the sun burn had blisters over 60 percent of my body

damn Wokies taking that experience away from kids

Kinda makes sense what Cloo was saying about it being low on the priority list when even those who know the word seem to have no idea what it means.

And yes, totally agree about treating kids decently in this heat.

 

[Ax^]

people who tend to ramble on about the word woke tend just to be confused by the world,
and want something to shout about "change being bad"

amazing how its always like reading or listening to the 4 yorkshire men skit over and over

There is no access to 'respectability'. And they side with barbarians.

This guy used to be in the department for energy and climate change

Lincolnshire MP calls those taking heatwave precautions 'snowflakes' and 'cowards'.

Lincs MP calls people 'snowflakes' and 'cowards' amid heatwave

A 'red extreme heat warning' has been issued by the Met Office

[Storm Fox]

Well if they admit people need to take precautions in record temperatures, they'll have to admit this is unusual and climate change is real and would have to do something about it. So it is easier just to call everyone else wokey snowflakes.

The Lincolnshire MP should go out on a bin emptying run in this weather and then when he collapses, ask him who's the snowflake now.

Plastic dog poo bags on trees are treats for the kids!

This, apples are for woke kids.

People have 'woken' up to the fact that kids get dangerously hot in blazers, jumpers and ties during a heat wave, and that isn't a 'good thing'?
'back in my day' etc etc

My son's school allowed pupils to wear PE kit all last week.

But said they had to wear their blazers too

I consistently find that blathering about wokeisms is a sign of an absolute cunt

Anyone who doesn´t require kids always to wear school uniform is doing Putin´s work and urinating on the Cenotaph! PC gorn maaaad blah blah.... where will it all end blah blah?.....

It's absolutely not blazer weather. Especially since school blazers tend to be made out of that nasty, sweaty polyester shit.

I don't understand why headteachers do this. It makes the pupils uncomfortable at best and could possibly make them ill. Plus it's teaching inflexibility which isn't great for a modern workplace.

If they wanted to actually use clothing habits to prepare kids for the modern workplace, then they would abolish uniforms and replace them with a vaguely-defined "smart casual" dress code, if even that. I'm pretty sure the next time I head into the office, I could wear a big T-shirt with a heavy metal band logo on it, and black baggy cargo trousers with a shiny chain, and nobody would pull me up on it.

Also, in all those workplaces where I was required to wear a uniform, I'm pretty sure it was provided for free by the employer, and I only ever had to pay if I failed to return any items of said uniform once my employment ended. But from what I hear, school uniforms have to be paid for by the parents? What an absolute swindle.

Judging from all the bullshit that schools give pupils over perfectly inoffensive haircuts, I'd say that schools have a serious problem with headteachers and administrators using their pupils' appearance as a drawing board for either their toxic "skool daze" nostalgia and/or their psychotic control freak tendencies.

Some Tory mouthbreathing maggot called Krishna Guru Murphy woke and lefty re hosting C4's Tory leadership debate.

So add that to list. Woke + socialist = talking over Torie, a bit.

Ties should be banned though. Or at least mocked for the fucking ridiculous bits of attire they obviously are.

It usually takes something quite special for my daughters school to tell them not to wear blazers. I think that is the norm now.

I tried to ask my school about the PE kit thing. My daughters PE kit is practically black, but also, like most people, she only has one set. If she wears that on Monday I can't wash it for Tuesday (though to be honest I supposed I could probably could hand wash it and dry it in the heat by he time she leaves at 7.30 am.)

They do it because that's the culture, and they daren't step - or even - look outside the embedded assumptions that go with that culture.

My local comprehensive secondary got rid of the blazers, shirts and ties after I was there for a couple of years, this would have been back in the early 2000s I think. They got replaced with jumpers and polo shirts. Those were much better.

They're dying in much of the business world

 

[Rob Ray]

Definitely don't see them so often if wandering around the City any more, though the suit and pastel coloured shirt remains ubiquitous.

That’s obviously woke though. Quite a lot of schools have gone back to ‘traditional’ uniforms because of the Tory obsession with turning things back to the good old 1959s, plus it attracts posh parents and their achieving offspring. My Neice’s school had gone all Harry Potter with blazers etc. when it just used to be jumpers, and the kids hate it.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

plus it attracts posh parents and their achieving offspring.

and if they make the uniform only available through one or two selected suppliers, and expensive enough, it weeds out the plebs
