It appears that scores of viewers have abandoned EastEnders. This is because they are pig sick of being lectured every time it’s on. It has been described as ‘unbearably woke’ and ‘virtue signaling’, and examples were given. Greta the Mong mentioned several times, episodes based around veganism, gay pride (again), right wing white ‘Nazis’ planning to bomb a mosque (since fucking when?), climate change and – naturally – Brexit. With that peroxide upright cow Sharon Watts/Mitchell/God Knows comparing Brexit (a referendum result) to Covid (thousands of people dead worldwide). It’s a soap, not a fucking soap box.
But people are really sick of it. From 30 million viewers in the Den and Angie years to a piddling 1 million in 2023. Fucking hell, repeats of Dad’s Army and Steptoe & Son get more viewers than that. Them again, they were good shows.
The latest NeverEnders barrel scraping trick is to bring yet another officially pronounced dead character errr back from the dead. How bloody desperate are they? Cindy and Ian fucking Beale?! Their ludicrous and obscenely woke storylines will hopefully be the beginning of the end for this pathetic woke dogshit.
