Got to stick a lit cigar in a kids eye instead.

Then again what can you expect from a bloke who is having a pop at famously left wing club Union Berlin about the war...

Leopards....spots.

Wouldnt be at all surprised if we get to a chapter on immigrants soon

He's after the sports slot on GB News.

"And England suffered a crushing defeat at Twickenham today against the All... sorry what? The All?! The All Wokes have beaten England at Twickhenham no doubt with a female commentator doing the rounds"

Don't know what your interpretation of woke is, especially if you consider this as 'ironic', but I don't see it as this.

Well it is, getting upset because you believe they aren’t up to job based on gender and race (ie they tick a box)

 

[Ozwell]

It's almost like they're trying to get people cancelled.

They are the cancel culture they complain against

 

[Ozwell]

Cancel culture or so called is almost always based on a business or marketing decision

Which is based on their customers fundamentally disagreeing with that view. Free market economics in action

There is no connection between lacking education and having a brash unsavoury manner. Some of the obnoxious insulting attacks he makes online are the twitter version of the cigar stubbing of the apprentice ....or the assault in Lord Street that put him inside. Finding him an offensive eejit doesnt make anyone "woke".

An intellectual could argue Bartons points much more eloquently and receive a lot less flack as a consequence of that.

Bartons main argument is that men and women's football is played to different standards therefore punditry on the mens side of the game should be predominantly ex male footballers. That in itself has some validity and shouldn't be seen as out right misogynistic, however the way he delivers that message in an often unsavoury manner makes it easier for the woke extremists to refute everything he argues.

As a commerical photographer I find the whole modern corporation/virtue signalling phenomenon fascinating. If I order a Domino's its because the pizza is nice not because they post witty tweets on social media. People who love FB92 on GOT do so because of his footballing/philosophical wisdom not because of his ravishing good looks.

These young marketing graduates who are gaining employment into these companies are often failing to acknowledge the reality of core business objectives / target audience and fall down the rabbit hole of thinking virtue signalling = £££. Sky Sports for example wont see a surge in new subscriptions from female viewers because they replace a male pundit with a female one on MNF or soccer saturday - if anything they're more likely to rile up a small section of their already subscribed target audience (men).

Yes, exactly.

Whilst Barton is an odious individual, lets be honest the fella has a point regarding pundits in the game. Punditry in football is a tick box exercise in which you must be either an ex RS player, black or female. I think it reflects on the current society we live in that jobs are given on the basis of a questionaire rather than meritocracy. Its not what you know its who you know comes to mind.

Eni Aluko, Garth Crooks, Jamie Redknapp - completely clueless yet all given well paid positions solely because they fit one of the above criteria.

Bartons problem is he isn't a very educated individual so the valid points he makes he does so in a brash, unsavoury manner that makes it easier for the woke mob to make an example out of him.

Grown-ass privileged white man struggles with highly simplistic concept that the world contains people other than grown-ass privileged white men.
