This will make me popular…
Nomination: Right-wing cancel culture.
Back in 2016, I wrote a nomination for the Perpetually Offended…

You know the type – upper-class, wealthy, immensely privileged, time-rich individuals who spend all day online looking for stuff to pretend to be upset about in order to score lots of right-on points. Twitter is ground zero for these cunts. ‘Cancel culture’ is the deeply sinister idea that someone who offends against the pseudo-left groupthink of the day should not just be criticised but denied a platform or given deprived of their livelihood.
Mentalist German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche wrote “He who fights too long against dragons becomes a dragon himself; and if you gaze too long into the abyss, the abyss will gaze into you.” Some on the right seem determined to ape the pseudo-left ‘Woke’ arseholes and are developing a cancel culture all their own.
Ofcom apparently received 25,000 complaints about a dance troupe called Diversity on one of those crap ‘talent’ shows. But only about 1,000 of those complaints were received in the immediate aftermath of the broadcast. The rest appear to have been the result of an online campaign. You can’t complain about Woke cunts and their humourless moaning if your response is to do exactly the same to something you don’t like. Don’t turn into Mary fucking Whitehouse. Turn the fucker off! Companies like ITV will soon change their tune if their profits dip. Look what happened to Gillette and Nike, they soon forgot about being Woke when they started losing money.
Other people complained about some no-Mark comedienne called Sophie Duker making a joke on a Frankie Boyle show. I used to quite like Boyle when he was deliberately provocative and said things designed to piss people off. But now he just seems another bland BBC automaton. The biggest problem with Duker’s joke is that it simply wasn’t funny. The problem with most ‘comedy’ on the BBC is exactly this – it’s not funny. And just because I don’t like Nish Kumar means I must like Jim Davidson? Fuck off. Both Kumar and Davidson are desperately unfunny cunts. Whatever happened to Jerry Sadowitz?
If I may anticipate an objection to this nomination? The BBC is different because we have to pay whether we like it or not. I have some sympathy with this point of view but again, hit the cunts in the wallet. Don’t pay the BBC poll tax. Refuse entry to the Capita goons. Contact one of the many websites that show you how to avoid paying. Money. That’s what matters. Take money from the BBC and it will either change or die. Same with shit like Britains’s Got Talent. Less viewers means less advertising revenue. And remember, just because you don’t like something, doesn’t mean other people can’t watch it.
Free speech is for everyone from mad Maoists to Hitler-worshiping saddos. And everyone in between. As drunken, dissolute aristocrat Winston Churchill once said, “Everyone is in favour of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled. But some people’s idea of it is that they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage,”
I do think that there are signs of a backlash against the humourless pedantry of the Woke. I’ve heard some kids at school use the phrase ‘did you just assume gender?’ in an ironic way. And some them use the word ‘Greta’ in much the same way that my friends and I used to say ‘Joey Deacon’ back in the early 80s.
What we need is more free speech not less. Except for the SNP of course. They are cunts.
Nominated by: Cunt’s Mate Cunt
