Woke up children! I don\u2019t think Colston cares that much!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Published: 14 January 2022 ~ Colston Woke Statue 4 Scratch the Itch of History<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woke Watch PC UK! {Case 4}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations! Hoorah! Yippee!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great celebrations throughout the land of Wokedom! Hark! Sound the bells in the Cathedral of Woke in joyous proclamation: Hurrah! Hurrah! The yobs who uprooted the statue of Edward Colston and tossed it into the side of Bristol harbour are not yobs at all, they are in fact national heroes. Ding Dong Ding, Ding Dong Ding \u2026 Clang \u2026  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colston Woke Statue 4 scratch the itch of History<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

They went into court charged with criminal damage but emerged from it ~ let\u2019s not say \u2018whiter than white\u2019 ~ vindicated. The jury returned a verdict of \u2018not guilty\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Were the four as triumphant as they looked or simply basking in the delusion that because they had been duped into playing the part of useful idiots somehow the verdict had transformed them into a credit to their generation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, a far simpler and more credible explanation in these blighted times is that the young clones (clowns if you want) received a pat on the back instead of a boot up the arse because they behaved with exemplary Wokism. If ever testimony was needed that ideological brainwashing works then it doesn\u2019t get much better than this, excluding, of course, candle-lit vigils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, in an article published by Metro<\/em>1<\/sup>, one of the absolved, a female yoof with a ring through her snout, is showcased revelling in virtue-signalling limelight. How does it go? Every dog must have its day! Woof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Colston<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Reading from the usual script, we hear the same old tired and sanctimonious cliches about \u2018equality\u2019, \u2018police brutality\u2019 blah, blah, blah … and a telling remark relating the actions of the four Wokerteers to that of the suffragette movement, which seems to imply that not only is trial by jury a cornerstone of democracy but also so is violence and vandalism. Feel a bit miffed about something? Then why not go throw a brick or bust up a postbox? The suffragettes did! Good for them. Now women can vote, wear a ring through their snouts and run around pulling down statues. Take a bow whilst you\u2019re taking that knee!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is nothing short of hilarious that a blatant act of vandalism, excused by a woke jury, in a court of law administered by a woke judicial system, should be used by woke mainstream media as a rallying cry to campaign against wokism. (I mentioned the word woke once or twice, but I think I got away with it. No, really, ask my jury.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not convinced that the failure to prosecute these vandals is something to trumpet about in the name of racial equality, but I am more than certain that as justification for acts of vandalism it will open the floodgates to copycat incidents even more successfully than an ideological wedge rammed in the door of border control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WOKE WATCH UK!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udd23Broken News Just In!\ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ay up, news just in (13 Jan 2022)! The statue bashers are on the rampage! As I write this, I learn that a barncake has attacked the Eric Gill statue at BBC Broadcasting House2<\/sup>. Admittedly, it is a tad ironic that the BBC should have a large statue erected by a paedo adorning their headquarters when you consider the recent scandals surrounding Mr Saville and Co and more so in that the Beeb\u2019s reporting of the four children who \u2018rectified history\u2019 and were given a resounding three cheers for their actions have since proved the adage that \u2018what goes around, comes around\u2019. Tell me, has Mr Gill\u2019s statue escape with his winky intact? Ahh well, there goes another national monument to be replaced by something on the \u2018right side of history\u2019 ~ something black and gay should do the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, here is an extract from a MSM report3<\/sup> on that incident. You\u2019ll Ha! Ha! at the wokism in this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe protester \u2026 forcefully hammered away at the statue, removing large chunks of stone while the police stood and watched due to health and safety reasons.<\/span> \ud83d\ude04<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After more than four hours<\/span>\ud83d\ude04 , Met Police officers and the London Fire Brigade used a cherry-picker to bring the man down. Once on the ground, the police detained him. The protest comes just days after four BLM supporters\ud83d\udc11 were acquitted of felling a statue to the slave trader Edward Colston \u2026 A spokesman for the Met said: \u2018London Ambulance Service checked the activist<\/span> \ud83d\ude44 [PC Plod: \u201cYou know, you should really wear goggles when defacing public and private property \u2026\u201d] before making an arrest on suspicion of criminal damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Statues, street signs, monuments, stained glass windows, historic buildings, antiques, objects of antiquity, paintings ~ there really is no end to the list of ‘victories’ waiting in the wings for self-styled woke revisionists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wonder what history will make of them when the future that they have made for themselves becomes the present in which they are trapped?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, let\u2019s hope that the intelligent members of the jury who returned a verdict of \u2018not guilty\u2019 on the statue-shifting knee-takers have their garden statues (and everything else) very well insured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
