Police forces have been blasted for investigating 'hate crimes' that include calling someone a Rottweiler or being called a 'Leonard' over a row about a hedge.

They've always been miserable so-and-sos - look at that Leonard Cohen for example.

Leonard Nimoy never seemed a laugh riot either and I never cared Sugar Ray Leonard after he cheated Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Leonard Rossiter was OK.

I always thought Rossiter came across as a bit weird. Not as weird as Lenny Bruce though.

Oi! I'm a Leonard. Or at least it's my middle name.
Mind you, I'm a miserable so-and-so come to think of it. It must be all this hate crime I've suffered over the years.

Brave of you to come out like that.
Snap, 100% agree. Middle name as well.
I really hate the term Karen. I cannot remember a bad lady with that name, they have all been really nice so I feel sorry for them getting lumbered with that insult.

Lenny Bruce would have had a lot to say about modern life.

I had a friend called Len whose middle name (which he kept quiet about) was Cyril. When he did his National Service he had to spend two years being called Elsie after the army way of calling out a surname followed by the initials.

The country is really becoming ridiculous. What happened to " Sticks and stones etc " or are the UK now made up of so many people who have led sheltered lives being told they are all winners with 5* grades for writing their own name on an exam paper ?

Leonards up in arms ? they could take the fight to St Leonards Warrior square. And maybe utilise some new weapons invented by Leonardo da Vinci. And win. Vinci by name Vinci by nature.
Anyhoo, getting back to woke. It does seem very racist how the media & academia seem to recall so many great inventors & scientists who were straight white men. Surely that's an oversight ? i know the BBC have tried to rectify the problem.....
surely we cannot have all those Patriarchy evil white men taking all the limelight ?

That’s reminded me of the film ‘The Green Book’ about a black pianist touring the Deep South in America with an Italian American in around 1962. Really good and funny, but edgy Italian Americans are in one way or another.
