We're all woke now ... 10:16 - Sep 22 with 1552 viewsXYZ

Which makes you wonder who exactly this government is trying to impress with their extreme right wing anti-democratic policies ...

(clue: Steve Bannon/ Robert Mercer/ Koch/ Murdoch/ Big Oil/ etc/ etc)

Apparently our cat is woke, according to yesterday's Daily Mail. the comments below the article did make for fun reading though.

Lefty councils are forcing zoo animals into homosexual relationships as part of a woke agenda, according to a bloke living near Rents Park

As to our cat, I am very doubtful about it being woke, as it seems to be asleep most of the time.,

"A majority of the public agree with so-called woke positions on issues such as racial equality, immigration and sexual identity, according to the latest annual poll of British social attitudes, in the latest sign that once-marginal liberal views are increasingly mainstream.

Although such issues are used by Conservative politicians and the media to fuel “culture wars” and whip up antipathy towards a supposed politically correct cultural elite, the survey shows the balance of public opinion in Britain has shifted in favour of more inclusive attitudes over the past 20 years."


"Woke" is the cultural war, by engaging with it we are losing. It is designed to get people talking about slurs and narrowly framed opinions, rather than discussing actual issues, that the majority of care about, at a deep enough level to make positive change.

These positive changes negatively impact a small amount of very rich people, who circumvent the political system through "donations", control, or directly influence the media resulting in a lack of impartial information, meaning we can't make effective use of our political rights through purportedly democratic infrastructure.

Which means that people themselves are not necessarily changing, but old attitudes are literally dying out - and the Daily Mail and others with their adopted US newspeak are wailing to an ever decreasing number.

Dress it up with whatever words they like but bigotry and hatred are still bigotry and hatred.

Just as tolerance and free thinking remain the same

A survey of approximately 0.00009% of the adult population? Must be true then.

Lol, you know how statistics and sample sizes work, yeah?

6,250 is a pretty big sample. I'd guess that gives a 1-2% margin of error. A proper statistician can maybe provide a non-guessed figure.

I’m sensing you still wish to protect your constitutional English right to be an angry sunburnt pink bloke busying yourself protecting Great British statues from imminent immersion.
You do you whilst the rest of us giggle and point.

Given how stunningly accurate exit polls are, and the very small number interviewed I would suggest these are accurate

I would suggest your gripe is about how tolerant most folk are,

not much chance of book burning and lynchings anymore is there ?

Indeed - dying at 96 isn't the same as dying at 36.

Rich people (conservatives or Conservatives in the main), not poor people (not conservatives nor Conservatives in the main), can spare/ afford a couple of days to spend in a queue.

Nobody will admit to voting for Armageddon, sorry Brexit, in a year's time.

I'm sure you agree with equality, as far as race and sexuality are concerned at least.

What is crystal clear is how attitudes shift significantly over time. Maybe that explains the defensiveness of many supporters of the Monarchy?

They can see the absurdity of their position and fear that public support (largely bolstered by a love of Lizzie) will likely fizzle away over the coming years.

Sorry for being pedantic but 0.00009% of 67m million people would be (about) 6 people. A lot different from the 6 thousand plus who were surveyed.

Edit... Oops! About 60 people but still a big difference.

Replace “woke” for “Jew” and you’re basically describing Goebbels propaganda war and many of its ilk that followed. This isn’t new news. Media controlling ‘democracy’? Who’d have thought it possible!? Those tabloid headlines seem so thought provoking!
