Royal British Legion paid Stonewall £10000. It gets better, they are advertising for an Equality and Diversity Officer, salary @65k. They have also introduced a poppy with the Pride flag attached. I always buy a poppy but I want my money to go to veterans

100 percent.
I would suggest that this would be against the wishes of most of their members. They should answer to this.

They've ticked every box with this one. At £8 each they only need to sell 8000+ of them to cover the salary for this job. How long will it be until a TV presenter is criticised for not wearing one?

Even the Royal British Legion can’t resist the pull of wokeness.

There's something fishy going on?
Sigh. How many police hours are wasted on non crime hated related. The clue is in the non crime.
For those that don't think there is any wastage in public service here is a prime example. Just stop recording this crap.

islamophobic................christianophobic
homophobic..................heterophobic
antiSemitic...............antiAtheist
sexist....................... whatever da feck ?
anti-vaxxer................ ?
climate change denier................ ?
Racist.......................................Everybody-ist ?
If you are not confused, then you dont really know what has happened to our intellectual environment.

I've never minded labels and people's right to express opposition to ideas they don't like.....in most instances however they like....Libel exists for those with the money and inclination to object.
What is unacceptable to me and many others is how social liberals....which is the dominant ruling ideology of both right and left.....have used labels to restrict and...in some cases outlaw...speech.
I refer to 'hate' speech laws, 'protected class' and so on.....All law that started with Blair and that....if we had a real Conservative opposition would have been booted out as soon as they took power....instead they increased these laws.
Utter disgrace.
I stand against the state's restrictions on speech over and above what existed before Blair started screwing around with it. I always have and will never accept it as it leads to tyranny, left or right.....which is what we have now seen with the UK now having people in jail for expressing thoughts the state doesn't agree with....No different to Russia or Ukraine.
In fact the only way you ensure tyranny in any form cannot take over is to protect the speech of people you disagree with.

You say no different to Russian and Ukraine but, if what I heard is correct, there are far less imprisoned dissidents there than there are here. Certainly far fewer legal cases. Although they do like the odd murder - but they're not exactly the only ones. Handily enough, the only ever corrupt politician in Ireland died in a car crash in Russia. Unlucky that.

In both Russia and Ukraine media critical of the government is restricted.
We know that in Russia opposition figures have both died in dodgy circumstances and suffered persecution along with journalists.
This has also happened in Ukraine, and I remember making several posts about Gonzalo Lira, who reported critically from Ukraine and ended up dying within their prison system after trying to escape the country amid claims that he was physically harmed and extorted.
It's my position that both countries are as bad as each other in this regard.
In both countries if you stand and criticise the government narratives on the war you are looking at political persecution from the government.
However, while I don't know much about speech in Ukraine in other topics I do know that Trigonometry put out that stat which stated that the UK arrested much more people for speech online than Russia has......and no one can accuse Trigonometry of being pro Putin.

if you want to know who really rules the roost, look to whom you cannot criticize.
although we may all conjecture on the identity of the origin of all the woke shyte......the following can be ripped to shreds, and often are
- straight white men
- christians
- Brits
- Pro Lifers
- Trump supporters
- Conservative* intellectuals & commentators ( * the ideology, not the party )

Well what do you expect when you leave your rebranding to someone like this!
The American marketing guru who masterminded Jaguar's woke rebrand
Santino Pietrosanti, who boasted at an awards dinner that Jaguar had 'established over 15 DEI groups' as part of a 'transformative journey', is head of brand at the historic car company.

Very clever advert from Bud Lite, mocking pretentious culture.....looking to come back from the disastrous harm woke did to their brand.
I never drank that piss when I was drinking so probably not the best person to comment but never forget, never forgive when it comes to this BS. The entire point of 'woke' is that it attacks every traditional value. And they sort to use that to make money. Makes them worse than the actual twonks who think men can be women just because they want to.
