Organisers of Ringwood Carnival, a longstanding Hampshire tradition since 1928, have stood down from their decision to crown a 16 year-old boy as this year’s ‘queen’ after a public backlash. The Mail has the story.
Ringwood Carnival bosses have now withdrawn the announcement that the youngster would be leading proceedings after online trolls hit out at the “woke, ideological” decision.
Last year, it named a 16 year-old girl as ‘carnival queen’, and she was paraded through the streets on a horse-drawn carriage.
Following trolling, organisers have instead appointed the boy, named only as James, as a carnival ‘ambassador’ – and called in Hampshire Police to assess the viability of threats of “disruption and abusive language”.
Promoters of the traditional event in the Hampshire town, a few miles north-east of Bournemouth, have hit out at abusive followers and said the teen had been left “upset” by the backlash.
They have convened a ‘carnival court’ made up of James, local civic heads and carnival ‘princesses’ from local schools – who will travel separately in the parade on September 16th.
A post on the carnival’s Facebook page read: “Since that time [announcing James as queen], due to some threats of disruption and abusive language (both publicly and privately), we have referred to the police for a safety review and evaluated any potential risks and safety concerns.
“James is well, although upset. He is still keen to be a part of the carnival but will be taking on a slightly different role as Ambassador.
“As James is over 16, he is able to make these decisions himself and we and his family support him.
“For the safety and wellbeing of everybody, the Carnival committee has now formed a Carnival Court.
“The Carnival Court will travel across a number of vehicles, with James travelling separately – all led by the truly magnificent Sampson Percheron Horses.”
Organisers added: “Carnival is organised and delivered to the town by a committee of 15 volunteers, who put in an incredible amount of work to make this event happen.
“Public and private online abuse is something that nobody wishes to receive. We are grateful, however, to all those who have given feedback constructively.
“So let’s all move forward unanimously. So, we politely request to cease negative comments, and let’s all move forward positively whilst respecting each other’s views or opinions.”
Comments were disabled on the latest post – but the backlash has continued elsewhere on the Ringwood Carnival’s Facebook page.
One local wrote: “Absolutely astonishing that (since I can’t post on the actual statement) that you are so incensed about a backlash you have entirely caused caused yourselves.
“Boys are not girls. If you wanted a boy to be your figurehead make him Carnival King or Prince.
“You people talk about creating a day of celebration and fun for friends and family and in the exact same instance impose a woke, ideological stance on the whole thing, thereby completely undermining your own event.”

Was he chosen because he was the best man for the job or to make a political statement?
Why do carnival organisers in rural England feel the need to show their satanic credentials?
Can I interest you in one of these little numbers, ToF? Just the fact that these things exist, and clearly no child of this age range will be purchasing one for themselves, does rather indicate what a seriously f*cked up world we’re officially living in!!

FFS
Did you scroll down in the comments to see the woman flogging ‘penis packers’ online? How the fk is this allowed? Mental. And again, a flaming WOMAN!!! Sickening..
I double that FFS!
this world has slide full tilt into depravity and debauchery and its becoming normal!!
Yeah but it’s only until they’re old enough to get one of these. Because that’s what it’ll lead to.

I can’t better that tof.
At some point it may be necessary to ask the question as to why a not insignificant portion of the population, if given free rein, are drawn to this kind of sexual deviance.
There is clearly something about the nature of sone people that all this crazy stuff appeals strongly to them.
It makes me think that conservative sexual norms evolved for a good reason, as a defence against destructive deviance.
Since the 1960s the breaks have been taken off and we seem to be sliding towards a form of chaos that is hard to predict where it might end.
Indeed
I’m a live and let live kind of bloke – as long as people are not harming me, give them enough rope to hang themselves. I’m also not religious. But the disappearance of a common dominant religion seems to have left a void that is being filled by damaging decadence.
And Islam.
Churches converting to another faith being just one example. I feel like if there was a survey looking at attendance for mosques vs attendance for churches the Muslims would be out front. Could just be my warped perception with me not living in the UK anymore though.
Yes I am sure they are close if not ahead, them and the Hindus. Christian churches in the UK propped up by Africans and Poles maybe.
Plus you had duplicitous crackerjacks like this who weren’t exactly helping the cause. I don’t even believe in Jesus and I feel offended on behalf of Christians here! lol How fecking dare he feel entitled to speak on behalf of Jesus, FGS?!

16yrs is a minor FFS!!
When you have no words and only a meme can suffice;

It is the attempt to celebrate elasticicity and label it freedom. You can choose one of two hundred genders but you’re still a slave. If it keeps you distracted for a moment or two then job well done. Get a grip we are talkng about serious players they don’t care if you have five dicks or no dick at all. If you want to play along with their spiel then just do it and see where it gets you.
One of my major concerns though, relating to all of this focus on kids and exposing them to so much inappropriate material at school, drag queen shows etc, basically in an effort to sexualize kids at a very young age, is the normalization of paedophila. I mean, you can change Opal Fruits into Starburst, but it’ll be the same shit in a different wrapper, and this is what is happening with the whole ‘MAPs’ thing. ‘Paedophile’ has such negative connotations so let’s have an image change! Let’s aim to gain sympathy then acceptance! This here gives a good description of how this can insidiously creep in until it becomes an actual thing, and we’ve seen exactly how much TPTB value kids and their welfare so I’ll bet they have a hand in enabling this. Or they can try anyway…

We are moving into nasty times indeed. Lots of people confronting very dark situations. In such times there will be no mental space for paedos. I don’t want us to lose our humanity but the future is going to be very different from the present. There will be all sorts of people dropping by the wayside because they aren’t up to it. Just the effort of keeping the flame alive will be enough for most people.
Mardi gras parades in the USA have both Princesses and Princes as the figureheads, but both together.
Yes, the obvious, sane solution. but there’s nothing sane about present times, is there?
The real business is much younger, usually starting at 11/12 and is a market operational in every major city in the UK. All you need is a child that has run away from home suffering horrific abuse and they end up in a city and there are people on the lookout to pick them up and sell them in the sex trade. We have to look at the darkest aspects of our ongoing reality and take them to our hearts. You can’t leave anyone out even orphaned children. It starts there and has to be acknowledged if you are up for it.
You are missing a much bigger point – there is expected to be a new wave of ‘COVID’ starting in late September and becoming increasingly more threatening until December at which point full restrictions will come back. Obviously this will be largely the stabbinated.. This is already written into the script on a worldwide basis. Can you imagine the further damage that will be done with another lockdown and yet I tell you they are going to do it.. You might not believe me now just wait four weeks, And it will come back and the sheep will comply. We need to be ahead of the game.
Expected , or do you mean Intended ?
They turn everything into their new religious pride event.
All events have to nod to the rainbow! So get rid of the heterosexual girl just in case the T is upstaged and a young adult female will steal the show.
Even the visiting ‘Pantomime ’ that visited and performed at a local school was a cross between pride month and pantomime rainbow clothed dancin folk. Odd!!
Of course there was a backlash.
The organisers set the lad up for a fall, just so they can kick off about their woke credentials
So the Carnival Organisers deliberately provoked a negative response and then loudly complained about it.
First Class Gaslighting.
I hope the Carnival is boycotted by the local population.
It’s a sort of Reverse Charlotte Proudman, who deliberately provokes positive responses and then loudly complains about the attention she receives.
Trolls? People who object and challenge idiocy.
Abuse? Telling it like it is.
What about the ‘abuse’ of our society and the people in it by all these weird nitwits?
James is upset – oh the poor wee lamb.
Maybe they were going to get Ru Paul,s crew to spit roast him live on the Artic truck then show it on the excellent
BBC Drag Race show
