...with a random video of someone questioning Biden's mental faculties. Huh?

So the French aren't great animal lovers:

She says the owners come from all social classes, but cases of badly treated animals are higher on the poor housing estates and amongst the Roma Traveller community.


Feck! How did that slip past?!

Is this a trend or just woke editors on holiday?

Or maybe the obsession with "wokeness" is just hysteria?

I don't trust the BBC or CNN as a news source but I at least expect them to be consistent Folded arms

If they're not playing the definitive "Woke Waltz" I won't know what to get upset about Rolling Eyes

I'm very woke, I'm very interested in social issues etc but I hate trendy labels and branding of socio-political positions that seems to be created in Internetland.
