Perhaps 007 could carry a loud whistle instead.
Yes, that would work.

Multiple conservative critics condemned a recent James Bond novel for vilifying former President Trump and other conservative politicians in a story about a dastardly international plot against King Charles III.
Author Charlie Higson had been authorized by Ian Fleming Publications, who own the rights to the James Bond franchise, to write a new book to celebrate King Charles III’s coronation. Higson touted that his new book, “On His Majesty’s Secret Service,” would feature “sex, violence, cars, a colorful villain with a nasty henchman, and of course, Bond himself, so well-known and yet so unknowable.”
But in early September, conservative culture critics from multiple outlets condemned the novel as yet another beloved franchise that has been corrupted by modern “woke” political messaging. The New York Times opinion columnist Ross Douthat scorched the novel in a piece headlined “How America Made James Bond ‘Woke,’” warning that it juxtaposes a progressive version of the globetrotting spy against a caricature of conservatism, “007 is charged with protecting King Charles III from a dastardly plot hatched by a super villain,” Aethelstan of Wessex, who can be described as a “Brexiteer, a right-wing populist, apparently the true and natural heir to Goldfinger and Blofeld.”

Sounds like the villain is the hero and it is time that a woke bond, an agent of the Crown and MI6 meets a more than timely death.
The left ruins everything
how about klaus schwab?
he personifies the bond villain
he could play himself
They already made him a black female...
... and killed him off.
So is he going to come back as a trans ghost?
George Soros is best Bond villain name never used!
Oh no, How horrible! /sarc

For the “woke”, “Everything is politics, and politics is everything”. And every novel, book, movie, work of art, music, etc., provides a “teachable moment” when the poor, stupid, uneducated plebians can be instructed in the proper ways of thought.

Like so many impotent beach boys...
If it wasn’t written by Ian Fleming, it’s not JAMES BOND.
Perhaps 007 could carry a loud whistle instead.
Yes, that would work.
The Left is fixated on the idea that they can transform society, brainwash entire populations.
This has been true since Karl Marx, and his theories about evolution and society.
During the French Revolution, the radicals tried to do away with the system of timekeeping, hours, minutes and seconds. This to disorient the population and sweep away the past.
Liberal ruin everything they touch
Bud Light ‘em...
In other words, because the book didn't carry the LBGTQ water bucket, the "conservative culture critics" complained. Know what? I don't really care what they think.
That brings up the old Scooby Doo argument: Are ghost pirates a) pirates who died and became ghosts or b) ghosts who had to turn to piracy in the afterlife?
Is a trans ghost a tranny who died and became a ghost, a ghost who started cross-dressing in the afterlife, or a live person who insists on annoying you by saying "Boo!" and pretending on passing through walls but really just sneaks through the door and calls you a "hater" for calling him on it.
“UK politician David Kurten posted an excerpt from the novel where Bond sees a villainous conservative among a gathering of evildoers, the book describing him as being “famous for promoting COVID/vaccines/mask-wearing/5G conspiracy theories, which had spilled over into the usual anti-immigrant, anti-EU, anti-BBC, anti-MSM, anti-cultural Marxist, Climate Change Denial pronouncements,” noting that this villainous Englishman had made an infamous “anti-trans diatribe.”
On that same page, Bond notices that this villainous gathering has a lack of “diversity” or “disabled” representation.”
I actually guffawed out loud reading that.
If anyone sought to write a Bond bookthat satirizes libs, they couldn’t do better.
Libs have become a caracture of themselves.
How ironic. After over 60 years, Bond is finally killed by a bunch of Beta males and communists.
