The first line of Wootton's ludicrous article claims yesterday's losers were republicans, the Britain hating BBC and Harry and Megan. I've decided that in the ridiculously crowded field of deranged right wing punditry, Wootton is the biggest cunt of them all. An absolute shit stain of a man.

Says a lot about the state of broadcasting. If he'd been around I my youth, he'd have been playing second fiddle to Cheggers on the Saturday morning car park circuit.

Meanwhile in the real world, bit meh royalists and bit meh republicans have been having civil grownup discussions.
I haven’t met a shortage of Tory anti-monarchists over the years. ‘Waste of bloody, I earned my position in life’ type of thing.

One of their more abhorrent hate campaigns. I've read that their (RNLI) donations have sky rocketed since this backlash from Far Right loons, though, so hopefully that's true.


Will a woke obsession with diversity sink the RNLI? Some have called it a migrant 'taxi service', now SUE REID investigates how the lifeboat charity is mired in a toxic culture clash

When they say 'some have called it a migrant taxi service' she actually means journalists working for right wing tabloids.

Sue Reid investigates is surely some kind of oxymoron. Sue Reid spots a overblown story in her own newspaper and then she goes along to where the story originated and finds a few locals who are prepared to say they believe what they have read in the paper.

Here is a link to read the story without needing to visit the Mail website. https://archive.ph/BMsgf

According to the RNLI's own report, they received £6.3M more in 2022 than in 2021.

[RandomElement]

They have been ordered to attend a diversity course, while the station is to undergo a full-scale 'cultural review' to stamp out 'grave concern over the treatment of female crew'.

So this one lifeboat station may have a problem with women (depending whether or not the Maill made this bit up)

In response, whistleblowers

So some disgruntled crew member possibly, if not just made up.

among the lifeboatmen have told the Mail that the RNLI has gone 'woke', and is in the clutches of Stonewall, the LGBTQ+ lobby organisation, from which it started taking 'diversity advice' in 2017. They are also disenchanted because so much of their time is today spent rescuing migrants.

Rhetorically, what has being LGBTQ+ got to do with your performance as a lifeboat crew?

They claim this combination of factors has led to an 'easing out' of experienced, capable boatmen and fishermen from the charity workforce in favour of 'hipsters who have moved to the coast from Hackney'.

Even if true, these crew may be getting too old, failing fitness tests, or too toxic to the running of a team. What has being from Hackney got to do with going out in a Force 10 gale?

Worse, they say, the charity prioritises diversity courses over sea training while punishing the 'old crew' who question if rescuing migrants 'plays into the hands' of criminal trafficking gangs.

That sounds like a low-probability scenario.

Whatever the truth about claim and counterclaim[.....]

'I made the above claims up'



Sorry for the formatting; I cannot get the spacing between the quote to work as I want.

If someone's in need of rescuing, you rescue them. Anything else, the moment you start dividing into worthy and unworthy, you've crossed the cunt threshold.

[safe_timber_man]

Well exactly. Can you imagine the RNLI crew peering over the side of the boat and deciding whether or not they should pull this drowning person out the water? The whole thing's ridiculous. These guys are out there to save people who are at risk of drowning. That's it. It's very simple. In no world are they going to be vetting people and deciding whether to let them drown or not. The politics of 'small boat crossings' can be argued all day long but it's got absolutely naff all to do with the RNLI.

It's the same bewildered fuckers (or maybe just a troll farm) that are all over Mumsnet and YouTube about Farage's bank account.
They just KNOW they the entire establishment, from George Soros to Foreman Sam are marching in lockstep, and they don't need to read to paragraph 19 for the gay commie foreign details of the matter.

I'm beginning to suspect a troll farm's involved.
Relatively few people posting the same "nobody could be that fucking dumb" talking points or questions.
Different names, but still points and questions on each forum.

Has Eastenders entered a downward spiral? I couldn't care less, but judging by the evidence here, "proof" is that a) it no longer gets the viewing figures it got back when there were only 4 channels, b) it relies on ludicrous plots (something unheard of in soap land), and c) it's gone woke - precisely how is not explained, but there is a large picture of two characters (one black, one white) together having a chat. And IIRC are in a relationship, which is presumably a bad thing, as the caption begins "Oh no..." (I kid you not).

Cunts.

Are the mail ever happy about anything?
You'd have to wind back to the last coalition carpet bombing to see any of them smile.

With Amanda Platell taking a much needed holiday, it looks like Maureen Callahan has been put on lady bashing duties.

Swatted away like a gnat in a city where fans once roared for her - Britney was the world's biggest pop icon, now she's chasing small-time stars across a Vegas lobby. So was there more to her conservatorship than we knew?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... itney.html

So Britney Spears gets assaulted by a thuggish body guard and Maureen uses the incident to slag off Britney. With female journalists at the Mail constantly taking the side of violent men is there any wonder that more isn't done to protect women from such thuggish behaviour.

The Madonna/whore complex. See also, Kate and Megs. Kate could 'service' a dozen crackheads like a circus seal and they'd write it up as her selfless effort at rehabilitation.

Oh, for the simple times, when Waity Katie and her trolly dolly mother were sneered at for middle-class social climbers.

Church teaches that racial hatred grows from small things if left unchecked. This apparently is tantamount to saying that all white people are Nazis, and if you're going to say that, then we may as well live up to it. Whataboutery and left-bashing ensue.

Far from helping pupils understand the importance of loving their neighbours — perhaps the most important of all Christian doctrines — it emphasises the differences between children on the basis of their skin colour and it encourages them to think of themselves as morally flawed.

Someone tell her about the doctrine of original sin...

Pointed out elsewhere today: Andrew Pierce on GMB advocating that in return for the board and lodgings we give migrants, we get them out digging the fields.

For those that do Twitter:

Let's put this bloke's picture in the paper, print his name, where he works , and where he went to school.

Striking junior doctor who claims he is 'constantly worrying' about bills owns a £500,000 flat with no mortgage and is a director at his family's investment firm

Well, there's a fucking surprise...

Covid inquiry: Daily Mail wanted people back at work to revive sales – Johnson aide

The Mail’s front page, which featured an article headlined “Wear a mask in the office”, predicted that mask use, then not recommended outside healthcare settings, could permit a swift return to physical workplaces.

Slack, who is now deputy editor of the Sun, responded to a posted photo of the paper’s front page saying: “They took their lead from the press conference. Geordie [Greig], the Daily Mail’s editor at the time] just desperate to get people back to work and buying a copy of the paper.”
