War on Woke: Conservative Cultural Campaigning

Making a clear play for 'woke' as the big lefty boogieman at next elections it appears: Tory party chairman says ‘painful woke psychodrama’ weakening the west

Complaining of 'groupthink' around, you know, ending police racism, people loving who they want, women being treated as human beings, but demanding a nationalistic groupthink to protect us from the Forriners instead.

 

[Kaka Tim]

The Woke mafia cancelling Jim Davidson and it ain't half hot mum was a like a massive green light to putin.
Obviously a nation so effete that it objects to overt racism in its popular culture will be too shandy pants to object to a military invasion of Ukraine.

I've heard that ALL of our military personnel are now pacifist vegans, and the ones who are in control of our nuclear weapons would rather fight the Ruskies with meditation and foot massage.

Those Heritage Foundation guys are dodgy as fuck.


Speech is absolutely barking.

I like how eagerly they've rushed to warn of the dangers of cancelling that footballer who yeeted his cat across the room.

Half the papers seem to be saying what a poor guy.

Absolutely insane.

If they were to make a programme like "It ain't half hot mum." today, the wokeratti would insist on there being at least one non-binary character, the officer class would be effete nincompoops and, I fear, it show the British Army as a bunch of shirkers - unwilling to engage the enemy.

I´m not sure who is worse, the "woke mafia" or the "PC brigade".

Please enlighten me, urban.

You forgot to include "loony left" in any potential poll.

Inside the woke world of school headteacher who has banned meat

The meat ban comes after Rachel Tomlinson (pictured) previously forbade teachers at the school from raising their voice and holds a belief that there is no such thing as a 'naughty' child.

Definitely the woke mafia.
The PC brigade were a bit right-on, but they were useful when your graphics card was playing up.

I heard that It's a grime re-working of Jerusalem, too, funded by metrosexual Guardianistas left at the DCMS from Cameron's time. Top trolling.

Attack on ‘woke’ charities has backfired, campaigners say

Exclusive: Rightwing campaign prompted charities to defend their work, leading to rise in public support

www.theguardian.com

A wave of attacks on “woke” charities by rightwing politicians has “backfired”, generating an outpouring of public support for the targeted charities and helping drive a surge in social justice activism, say campaigners.

The findings of the Sheila McKechnie Foundation survey come as charities report huge concern over the “chilling” impact on civil society of a raft of proposed legislation designed to restrict public protest and legal challenge.

However, the survey also found the attacks persuaded many charities to re-examine their mission and refocus on campaigning, and had revealed heartening public support for social activism. A third of charities said they were now “more likely to speak out”.

In another high profile case, the RNLI – the UK’s national lifeboat charity – was accused by Nigel Farage, the former leader of the UK Independence party and Brexit party, of running a “migrant taxi service” for rescuing migrants at risk of drowning in the Channel. It robustly defended its work, and received massive public support and a surge in donations as a result..

[RainbowTown]

That is heartening to read. The attack on the RNLI was especially reprehensible, given that these men and women voluntarily risk their lives day in, day out to help save others.

Linda Belos and Ken Livingstone where the pair most commonly castigated as loony lefties back on the 80s. Nowadays, GBnews loves them both.

As was pointed out on Twitter, the main reason you wouldn't be able to make Only Fools and Horses these days is that it would be seen as insufficiently deferential to veterans.

I love how it's always social justice at fault and not say, outsourcing every possible industry to China and India.

Excellent read , how someone can describe the National Trust as Marxist has always made laugh

Excellent read , how someone can describe the National Trust as Marxist has always made laugh

These are all people who just say stuff and feel no obligation to think about it first. And then they get angry when their idiot rantings are ignored, and this anger in turn fuels more idiot rantings.

Ultimately it's all just rage against the dying of the light; or rather the dying of the days where you could insult jews and pakistanis in public without being tutted at by someone younger than you.

The whole National Trust thing was ridiculous, an organisation which looks after historical buildings & estates, looked into the history of those estates & found slave links , which is no surprise , and suddenly it is the vanguard of a Marxist revolution

It really points up the degree to which 'history' is essentially just propaganda to these people doesn't it. None of that actual history thanks, with it's messy slave money and the like.

When they say "history" they mean "national mythology (which must never be questioned)"

This from the latest British Archaelogy (discussing Colston) magazine really does sum it up.

It’s not just them being dim, though, it’s a wholly deliberate adoption of the Breivikian notion of cultural Marxism. Anything that questions the powers that be, that encourages us to view history from the side of the losers….it’s a threat to our very way of life.
