If you mean the emerging woke culture, which also blends with diversity, whereby they are trying to remove British works of culture from the educational syllabus, then I wish those bar stewards the a fate nearly as bad as the cycle pelotons that are infesting the roads this summer.

This doesn’t seem to be sinking into your cerebellum very well, ianch. Never mind, you’ll never be alone on this forum!

Oh, I get it. I also get it that some of the rules are pathetic and stupid and need to be consigned to the history books. If anyone can inject a bit of common sense into the way we do things in this country, he can.
We get in a fluster because Boris wants to introduce steel tariffs because it ‘breaks the law’, and yet EU countries do it all the time with impunity.
Remainiacs complain that the government wants to change the NI protocol, pointing out with relish that it is ‘the deal that Boris signed’. They ignore the fact that the only reason we need to change it is because of remainer sabotage and the obstacles the EU is putting in the way.
All this nonsense must stop. This and the growing woke culture is of huge concern to people who want the best for our country.

You are only correct on one thing - this is not the Brexit thread. May I delicately point out that you were the one who raised Brexit.

The deal has been done but it’s not yet been implemented. We haven’t even got rid of the bureaucratic EU rules yet.
With Cakegate declining in the public consciousness, perhaps we can now get on with the real business. You can’t complain about what hasn’t been achieved when these obstacles are continually thrown at Boris to divert attention from the important things.

There you go Sephiroth, using woke as a distraction, pathetic and so easy to see through

The Brexit deal has largely been implemented. You seem to be asking for extra time after the ref's blown his whistle. One implementation exception being UK exports to the EU are checked but UK imports from the EU are not. No prizes for guessing that UK exporters feel they are at a disadvantage.
Cakegate was never in the public consciousness, I think you must mean Partygate. That's evolved onto the how-long-will-he-last? question.
Johnson brought Partygate upon himself. Unlike Covid 19 or the invasion of Ukraine.

I'm not really sure I want to see a bonfire of red tape and regulations, I ask myself who do they benefit, it's like when what ever ponce who is currently chancellor says they'll cut tax as a bribe to the electorate and I sit there thinking how does this really benefit me and what will I spend this new found wealth on, aka a fiver, a week/month/year whatever and who does it really benefit, someone on paye earning hundreds of thousands a year would do very well out of it but your little man, not so much and it's with that in mind I look at red tape and regulations, they're for the little mans benefit, I remember saying after the brexit vote when people were saying the employment rules would be ripped up that they wouldn't be only the ones that made it easier to get rid of people or discriminate but even after witnessing that we are still seemingly happy or not paying enough attention for these to be binned to, when will we learn

I'm convinced we won't be maintaining them, the big ones like working time will remain but the ones that make it harder to get rid of people or discriminate will be done away with, I'll put money on it here and now and never forget the contempt large parts of the current government have for British workers, we know this thanks to that crappy book three of them were involved with
