All I can say is thank god for eurosport. I used to like this when it was David Vine back in the day but these woke moron presenters have rendered it unwatchable now.
One item in the news this morning at 7 a.m. and again at 8 a.m., read by Viji Alles, contained information about the overall tone of the Coronation Celebrations this year for the crowning of King Charles III. Special choirs, apparently, at which point Viji stumbled over his words or his script had been prepared by a young intern relying on spell check with predictive text.
Viji Alles described the choir which seemed as the ultimate in wokery but stumbled referring to ‘purple’ before immediately correcting to ‘people’. So we now have, thanks to Viji, a suitable collective noun for the alphabet soupers and others; ‘Purple People’ and I share that with you now. Notwithstanding, of course, that many in those groupings have hair that is died more mauve than purple and others like to add a splash of various shades of turqoise and blue perhaps with some yellow or orange, too.

NV, correct. I remember a purple Chevy Camaro in my neighbourhood for a while which on its rear or flanks had in white the legend: ‘The Purple People Eater.’
Up2 – I heard an approved mouth on the BBC say the palace was trying to be ‘inclusive ‘ ‘diverse’ and all that – but then she said it would be better than the “antiquated “ coronation ceremony …..
Now being as a Luke warm Republican even I winced at “antiquated “ – and instantly imaged what a ‘modern’ ceremony would look and sound like …..
Maybe it should be conducted in a McDonald’s – or old Trafford before kick off … or during half time ….. with a bob Marley medley and the first episode of ‘suits’…
Fed, have you considered that it should be done in Bradford, by the archbishop of Wokenterbury, wearing a hijab instead of a Mitre, with a strict quota applied to the guests; a 50:50 split between BLM and XR/JSO/IB? (that is Extinction Rebellion, Just Stop Oil & Insulate Britain)
Lol – I’m sure the recently ‘saved’ Channel 4 will do an ‘alternative coronation ‘ starring Owen Jones – that dusky commie girl with moustache and ….naga …. Vine ….. that nut job who used to be Blair’s’ mouthpiece …
BBC going all out to celebrate Chinese Lunar New Year. What a shame they missed The Christian celebrations of Christmas and our own New Year. They were on 25th December and Jan 1st for any Beeboids reading this so suggest you mark it in your diaries for next year, both used to be quite popular in the Western World.

Been around a while: ‘Perps’.
Guest, think that’s reserved for law enforcement is it not?
If I remember correctly there was a song in the 50/60s called “The Purple People Eaters.”
