      I’m summarising, but I bet it went along the lines of

      • “be nice to people”
      • “everyone deserves to live and enjoy some modern comforts”
      • “maybe we shouldn’t destroy the planet we live on”

      You know… Real sick shit

    I would guess that it’s more because there are three people in the shot and they are all young women, and two of those young women look slightly different than the OP wants them to look (one has dyed hair and one has a scarf).

      Sheep are fine. You wouldn’t want to be one, but those who are, can serve a purpose. It’s the smeagels like this guy that are the problem.

        IDK, you could make a pretty good argument that we have way too many sheep nowadays. The “smeagels” are kind of useless without herds of sheep who follow them.

      It’s essentially a model parliament, but one that gets contact with the actual government. Under-18s fight for election and hold debates in the same manner as the House of Commons

      No, I have absolutely no idea how this makes it “woke” beyond that some people just use the word to mean “thing I don’t like”

        I’m not really against but I think instead we should just ban anyone over 60 from voting…

          Pretty sure he’s just some edgy teenager.

          He probably spent most of last month hanging flags upside down on lamp posts, and calling himself patriotic, it’s the sort of thing people like him do. Everyone else calls him a prat

            The funny thing is that the Union Jack is not quite symmetrical. You can hang it upside down, but it takes a very trained eye to see it’s upside down.

            That’s part of why ships fly a solid red flag with a Union Jack quarter, so it’s readily apparent when they are in distress.

              Never mind getting the Union Jack the right way up, at least some of those dumb fucks managed to paint the Danish flag on a roundabout because they forgot what the English one looks like

              The point is: the people hanging them on lampposts don’t know that, hence half of them being upside down.

              To be fair, as somebody who has put flags on lampposts, it’s slightly difficult to coordinate the flag orientation when you’re at the top of a ladder.

                I’m sorry it looks like I misunderstood your comment.

                Over here people put flags upside down on purpose, so that was my frame of reference.

    Youth parliament, model UN, all those places, they have always been great places to meet smart girls. Just wish teenage me had just a little more game.

    If you replace “woke” with “human rights”, you understand what these people are talking about.

    These people hate basic human right.

        Free speech is just one humen right they hate. They also hate based on gender, color of the skin, being poor, religion and even basic decency

        Literally these people think freedom of expression equals with buying Levis jeans and Adidas shoes, because they heard they were hard to come by in the Soviet Bloc.

    Great insights there from “Charlie Simp”

    Obviously in training to suck up to Farage and his ilk. Fortunately I’ve never heard of him before so he’s obviously not very good at it.

      i like saying that history doesn’t repeat, it rhymes…

      but bloody hell, this is literally the exact same thing we get every single generation

      “those young people, completely indecent, just look at the way they dress! their hair! the music they listen to! this technology they use! what will become of them. When i was young i was perfectly obedient and listened to my elders.” you could attritbute that sentence to any era of human history and you’ll be correct, literally all the way back to the beginning of written history this rings true

      Socrates complained about how the youths depend on paper and books too much. And since then little has changed but the exact thing the olds complain about
