“Equality Road” and “Diversity Grove”: UK City Names Six Streets with Ridiculous Woke Terminology
Woke ideology is cancer.
The Birmingham City Council in England has recently decided to name six new streets with typically absurd “woke” terminology.
According to RT, the city of Birmingham is developing new infrastructure for the 2022 Commonwealth Games and building 5,000 new homes, meaning that new roads will need to be paved.
The Birmingham City Council asked locals to submit names for the first six roads, from which they chose the following: Equality Road, Inspire Avenue, Destiny Road, Respect Way, Diversity Grove, and Humanity Close. These names came from an entry submitted by a local woman, according to Labour Councillor Waseem Zaffar.
Naturally, reaction to these new street names has not been altogether positive:
These new street names are completely vacuous with zero connection to the people, history or culture of Birmingham. Another über-Woke Labour initiative 🙄 https://t.co/JmERvYhyAL

The politicisation of our landscape continues. The utter meaningless banality of these new names speaks volumes about the new, hollow normal.
Anyway, how’s about :Crass Close

Good people cannot sit back and let SJWs run roughshod over their nations and cultures like this. Wokeness is an abomination.

Baghdad Bombings Could Give Biden Administration Excuse to Increase US Presence in Iraq
The first major Baghdad bombings in three years happen on Joe Biden’s first full day as president.
Two suicide bombings rocked a marketplace in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad on Thursday, killing at least 32 people and wounding over 100. As of now no one has claimed responsibility, although Iraqi military leaders suspect the Islamic State, the paramilitary group often referred to as “ISIS” in years past.
Major General Tahsin al-Khafaji said that the first suicide bomber shouted in the marketplace that he was not feeling well, and when a group of people drew near him, he detonated an explosive belt he was wearing. Not long after that, a second suicide bomber then detonated his own belt several feet away.
This was Baghdad’s first major bombing in three years, and interestingly enough it came on the first full day of Joe Biden’s presidency. Even the Associated Press pointed out that “many questioned the timing of the attack.”
“The US-led coalition recently ceased combat activities and is gradually drawing down its troop presence in Iraq,” the article reads.
The Jerusalem Post also writes that the bombings provide Biden with “an early opportunity to show US support for Iraq.”
“Biden has said that the US is ‘back’ and the world can expect the US to care again about foreign policy and work multilaterally to solve problems,” said the Post.
All this leads many to believe that the Biden administration will once again increase the US presence in Iraq, thereby dragging us deeper into a situation that the Trump administration had been eager to get out of.
This is not the first time that a Middle Eastern tragedy has coincided with a change of power. In March of 2017, two months after Donald Trump’s inauguration, the Assad government in Syria allegedly used chemical weapons against its own people, leading to international outcry and the Trump administration’s unilateral decision to launch an April 7 missile strike on the Syrian government’s Shayrat Airbase.
Bombings and attacks have also been known to happen shortly after the US announces commitments to scale back military operations.
Perhaps groups like the Islamic State feel emboldened by such announcements and power changes. In any case, the military-industrial complex often uses such attacks to justify never-ending involvement in the Middle East. As of now, however, it still remains to be seen what they will do as a result of Thursday’s bombings, if anything. Fingers crossed that it’s not much.
