'Celebration Of WOKE Culture!' | Kevin O'Sullivan On Paris Olympics

Talk's Kevin O'Sullivan is joined by The Spectator's French correspondent Gavin Mortimer to discuss the Paris Olympics.

The pair begin with the men's triathlon being postponed because the pollution in the river Seine was too high. On this issue Kevin says the games are "turning into one long embarrassment for France" and Gavin adds the country are receiving "international attention for the wrong reasons.".

The opening ceremony for the games is also discussed, which Gavin calls a "celebration of woke culture."

They missed out the flag being hung upside down, the South Koreans being introduced as North Koreans, and athletes moving into hotels because the Olympic Village is inadequate. I feel sorry for those who have trained so hard for so long; they deserve better.

Go woke, go broke, this opening ceremony was disgusting , 😢

[DoreenWalkington-yvpp]

I think it was so poorly done. I am insulted by it. That being said……I feel so sorry for the athletes that have worked so hard to be there.

As soon as the woke crap comes onto a screen, I turn the damn thing off, I'm slowly running out of stuff to watch these days 🙂

[lesleycrowther-scott]

Greater embarrassment is allowing two men to bash up women contestants

[davidbarlow]

Paris Olympics?
I thought it was the Labour Party conference.

[gloriawilson]

At least they have shown us just what woke is.

[ilinkadrieu]

i can assure you that we are very upset about this dreadful exhibition and mockery. The promotion of a small minority that does nor represented our country. Macron made his mission to destroyed our country.

[MB-vuow]

12 people were murdered in Paris for publishing a cartoon depicting “the prophet.”

[Bert-hyek]

The French made an easy decision to mock Christianity . They were afraid of making mockery of Mohamed and Islamists.

[Aloh-odef]

How is the postman who was pushed onto the tube tracks in London.

By non other than a migrant 🤨

[djstona]

Disgusting. Wokery should be banned it's a mockery for the natives

[Ellanl]

I don’t agree with the title of the news of that channel” it should read “Queers mock christians last supper” thats different and more accurate

[lynnfox]

I'm completely done with the Olympics

[totallybonkers]

Haven’t watched a second of it so don’t care what they do 😊

[eleveneleven]

Deliberately insulting opening ceremony, Biblical downpour, power outage, men beating up women in the boxing ring, triathletes puking up after swimming in the Seine.

And we have so much more to come.

But Macron's husband must be so happy.

[Rica]

Everyone knew the river was horrific well before the start time of the race. For years its been gross.
This is whole thing is one big embarrassment for France

[RickGhastly-tycq]

😂😂😂 the French really let themselves down !

[Oceanfoxy]

Let’s not overlook that there was cannibalism. With the dinner plate and the naked Smurf. Not to mention why did they involve a child?

[Lexington]

Didn’t fancy mocking Islam and The Prophet Muhammad?

Maybe Charlie Hebdo is a little too fresh in the memory for them.
