A line in a reply to the tweet that this one is referencing stood out to me
"Occurs to me that all this "wokeness" is less about equality than about destroying anything that smacks of tradition"
Could be a decent take

Yep . I heard another one from someone who was cast aside from their woke friends for disagreeing with them. It was along the lines of “ I don’t care if everything is reduced to rubble as long as I get to be in charge of the rubble” .
I wonder if the author of that tweet thought he was being edgy using that word or it’s an acceptable term from the far left for black people who aren’t left wing ?
Some of Corbyns Twitter mob were calling Jewish labour supporters who didn’t like Corbyn “ kapos” in their tweets . -
Another terror attack in London
Streatham: Suspected terrorist shot dead by police after stabbing rampage in South London
The Metropolitan Police wrote on Twitter: “Three people are known to have been injured in the #Streatham attack earlier this afternoon. One person is at hospital in a life-threatening condition. We are in the process of informing their family.A Scotland Yard spokesman added: “At this stage it is believed a number of people have been stabbed. The circumstances are being assessed; the incident has been declared as terrorist-related”.
Kiranjeet Singh, the owner of Low Price Store on Streatham High Road, said his brother Jagmon watched as the attacker stole a £3.99 kitchen knife from his shop, took the wrapping off and then stabbed a man and a woman.
The body of a man thought to be the suspect was later pictured on the pavement outside a Boots store. A witness, a 19-year-old student from Streatham, claimed to have seen the shooting.
“I was crossing the road when I saw a man with a machete and silver canisters on his chest being chased by what I assume was an undercover police officer as they were in civilian clothing,” he said. “The man was then shot. I think I heard three gunshots but I can’t quite remember.
“After that I ran into the library to get to safety. From the library I saw a load of ambulances and armed police officers arrive on the scene. We were all informed to stay in buildings by armed police until we were evacuated.”
David Chewer, 31, a stand-up comedian who appears on TalkRadio, was on his way to the cinema when he saw the attack. He told how police surrounded the suspected knifeman after he was shot and how he had tried his best to help a bleeding victim as they waited for an ambulance to arrive.
“I saw someone bump into someone and they hit the ground. After that they carried on running and I heard someone shriek. I presumed at that point in time they stole something so I ran after them,” he said.
“I counted four shots, but of course memory can be clouded. I don’t know who fired them. I genuinely thought it was a car backfiring at that point.
“I saw someone on the floor, I thought they had been Tasered. I saw their hands reaching up. They were lying on their side and they were reaching out.
“Two police armed officers were keeping their guns on the victim. I ran over to the other side of the road where I saw a white, possibly European victim on the ground, bleeding from the lower abdomen on the left hand side.
“I dumped my bag. I was going to the cinema at the time so I had a blanket with me. I got the blanket out to compress the bleeding. I ran off as instructed to flag down the ambulance.
“The police were calm-headed and resourceful however it took well over 30 minutes while an innocent victim bled out on the street. That to me does not make sense. I’m shaking. I’m still in shock. To be honest I’ve had a pint.” He said a corner shop owner had told him that the suspect had run into his shop and stolen a knife before running back out on to Streatham High Road.
A local resident, a man in his 20s, said: “A bloke with a knife stabbed somebody outside the White Lion pub, and then the police shot the knifeman. It all happened so quickly; I can’t believe it.”
Stuart Birch, 50, a bookmaker, said: “Police have cordoned off a section of the main road either side of the White Lion. I saw customers being evacuated by the police from a coffee shop near the pub.”
The Metropolitan Police have warned people to stay away from Streatham.
“It is believed a number of people have been stabbed in the incident. Please avoid the area while the emergency services deal with the incident,” the force said on Twitter.

@jegga what. the. fuck.
Especially that bit about it being likely to escalate to stories of weekend conquests... doesn't she know that's fiction!! or a well dressed up retelling of someone getting their once a year birthday BJ.
You shouldn’t really talk about birthday bjs , you might jinx it.

@Paekakboyz All of my friends drink too much so livers are always fatty. Should have stuck to the chianti, a proven combo with the fava.

I think she's just mixing up stories of conquest to stories about the Black Caps getting f*cked up the ass on a regular basis.

@JC It is more traditional at my place to receive gifts on your birthday (of a BJ). You obviously have different rules at yours.
Nice try. We both know there's very little that happens at Chez Snowy that could remotely be called traditional. Unless that tradition is in some way tied to the Bathory dynasty.
