I love Brighton & Hove Albion Football scores, yes a bit sad I know. Consequently I get really annoyed if the scores aren’t in favour of Brighton.

Not quite the same really is it…?
Percentage increases mean nothing, if no context is given, as is the case with the Reform percentage increase.
In a real world example, while working for The Met as an Intelligence Analyst, my Borough Commander was keen for me to put a “massive“ 50% reduction in burglaries, in New Addington ward, in our local tasking document. What he wasn’t so keen on was to publish the raw data, where burglaries went down from 4 to 2 in the 2 week period - a nice reduction he could claim credit for, but totally meaningless as just a simple snapshot in time.

I hope the Prime Minister enjoyed sitting in the second tier tonight.
I’m assuming he got a standing ovation?
Presumably he was in both of his tiers?

There he goes with his police escort which held up departure of vehicles from the coach park for a while.
Did you find any to analyse?

As I was based in Croydon, would it surprise you if I said yes!

Prioritising non white business for Government contracts.
Refusing a public enquiry into the Rotherham rape gangs.
Giving away a strategically important island to an ally of China.
Not dismantling DEI programs.
Which ones - evidence please.
You mean the public inquiry that the (presumably equally woke) Tories also refused to hold? You will have read the reasoning (that there has already been an inquiry, and the recommendations have yet to implemented) - so on what basis would you say the decision is 'woke' based?
Why is this 'woke'? You might disagree with it - but why is it 'woke'?
You mean that re-introducing discrimination and unfair treatment of minorities is something that should actively be sought to avoid being labelled 'woke'.
Are you misguidedly conflating 'woke' with 'fair'?

Why are the BBC complicit in perpetuating lies?
This makes out an elderly couple are so cold, the only heat they have is from their dogs.
In reality, John Dockree is a retired Vice President of Mercedes Benz Philippines, returning back to the UK in 2022. His wife, aged 57, works part-time, but was also a UKIP candidate.
I very much doubt he is on the breadline, nor turning his heat off.

'We lost out winter fuel payment - now we take our dogs to bed to stay warm'
It is £5 that separates John and Wenefreda Dockree from receiving the winter fuel payment.

Meritocracy is fair are you saying non-whites are not good enough?

??
I really don't follow your point - you need to explain it a bit more.
The whole purpose of DEI programmes are to promote fair treatment and full participation of all people, particularly groups who have historically been underrepresented or subject to discrimination on the basis of identity or disability. You wish to dismantle these, as you consider them 'woke'. If that happens, then we are likely to slip back into discriminatory decisions instead of appointments on merit. So, dismantling DEI programmes is the way to bring back unfair treatment and is the opposite of trying to achieve meritocracy.
I notice you haven't answered the other questions or provided evidence to back up your statements as requested.

No they are not, basing groups on "Historical oppression" is neither fair or true.
A couple more points, I think i got sucked into this thread by you mentioning me and I have no real interest so I am done here, any queries may I refer you to google.
From now on if I post a source and get a snide ignorant remark about it rather than referencing the article then that's an auto block. I have better things to do than be dragged by left-wing trolls and bullshitters.
You posted on this thread in answer to another poster - not me.
You basically stated that Labour = Woke.
I asked for examples of Labour policies that are woke.
You gave a list of four things.
I challenged you for evidence, and questioned you on some.
You now appear to be doing a familiar routine of: 'I can't actually answer or provide evidence, so I'm going to claim I'm being trolled and run away'.
As to this bit:
That's astonishing. It is not me that has made ignorant remarks and been unable to provide a reference. I haven't referred to any article, it's you that has been asked to provide evidence to back up your comments - and have signally failed to do so. What am I 'bullshitting' about??
