The bloke with the cricket bat is holding it incorrectly.
Geoffrey Boycott couldn't get a decent forward defensive with a grip like that

And the bloke on the end with a flaming torch
Is that Fred Trueman?
It's a Yarkshire cricketing mafia, a tell thee

Call me cynical but the amount of hype and pr that's gone into Last Dinner Party i'd be quite surprised if someone associated with them wasn't behind this.

‘I used to go to gigs on my own, before it felt like a sin’.

Another bland band with loads of hype for no apparent reason.

Incidentally, I went to watch the Macc Lads at the Engine Shed.

Are you uncle knobby by any chance?

I’m genuinely trying to understand because I feel a bit slow… I thought wokeness was basically the polar opposite of this. As in, bending over backwards to accommodate and promote diversity. Or letting people get away with things for fear of offending them based on some protected characteristic. People have been arguing that letting men into women’s spaces is woke behaviour for literally years now, in fact I thought that was a major argument of the “woke bad” crowd.

Is this not what the anti-woke people wanted? Overzealous surveillance and profiling of people based on protected characteristics?

I thought I understood it but apparently I don’t.

You are not alone in not understanding. If people make rules up as they go along, it is impossible to discern any principle.

It seems the overzealous door staff at the Engine Shed were certainly on the lookout for Uncle Knobby at that Last Dinner Party gig, but it wasn't me.

Were all solo, male attendees treated this way or was it just the ones that looked like nonces?

This creeping anti-male thing keeps getting worse. Its basic sexism and doesnty have a place. Equality my arse.

The band deny ordering this.

Seems to be down to whoever is in charge of the security. Some mutterings about some "incidents" at a previous gig involving the band, but no details.

Clearly a case of profiling and discriminating against one section of the paying customers.

The band’s management seem to have done the right thing by alerting the event security to incidents at previous gigs (I would imagine this is routine), and then someone at the venue has gone way too far.

Ultimately it was a few blokes who got searched and questioned, they shouldn’t have been but the fact this has blown up into a big news story and one guy is talking to every newspaper that’ll contact him feels more like an example of the world going to shit than some security people going to far.

That's what happens when men are told masculinity is bad and they should be ashamed of themselves all the time, demoralised young men end up being drawn to people who tell them that there's nothing wrong with being a man and being masculine.
