Identity Politics & Woke Culture

[timsk]

A number of threads in The Foyer touch on these hot potatoes but, in post Brexit Britain, I think they will move to centre stage and, as such, warrant having a bespoke thread of their own. Can't think of a better way to kick it off than with this really interesting and revealing interview - albeit rather sad and depressing - with Harry Miller. He's my new #1 hero of the hour - a class bloke. Enjoy . . .

I assume the whole thing is a prank: imagine the media frenzy that would occur if this was a genuine call! That said, I suspect it's an accurate summary of Harry's views on the topic.

It was a genuine prank call, and Harry fell for it, what a dumb ass!

Sig' - do you know for certain that it's Harry speaking? If so, how? My guess is that the entire thing is a prank - or fake news if you will. If it's genuinely Harry who's fallen for a prank call - the media would be all over it like a rash. That they aren't suggests to me that 'Harry' is as fake as Greta's dad.

It is over quite alot of the MSM (if not the BBC), surely if it was fake then some official spokesperson, royal or not, would have debunked it by now, even a statement from the man himself would suffice, but what do we hear.....[tumbleweed].

Admission by silence, therefore looks genuine to me until it's officially debunked.

This is a corker.

Will the NHS drop its trans obsession when peak coronavirus hits?

As coronavirus sweeps across the country, I am sure people will be reassured to know that the NHS is doing everything it can to address the pandemic, at such times when a health service’s resources are likely to be overstretched. So it must come as exactly no comfort to see what one section of the

Old Starkey, doing what Starkey does best.
The two interviewers(??) seem a bit sycophantic, but Starkers explores where Woke culture comes from, and its manifestations.
As an aside, I think Camille Paglia has similar ideas towards how civilisation rises, and the indicators of an impending fall.

Five minutes of pure genius from Jonathan Pie in which he sums up perfectly where woke 'culture' has brought us and the mess we're all in. Enjoy . . .

As someone has noted in the comments section - he's rather lost his mojo of late - but he's certainly back on top form with this offering. It's a perfect summation of of where we're at and what's gone so very, very wrong with identity politics and woke culture. Time this nonsense got booted into touch - for good!
