When an individual seeking the highest office in the land (Prime Minister) is willing to use words such as “lefty woke nonsense”, you know we are in a bad, bad place!
Those are the choice of words one would expect to read in internet chat rooms where everyday idiots think they can just utter anything that comes to mind. They should never be the choice of words for someone seeking to rule an entire nation, because at the end of the day, once you attain that office and you become Prime Minister, you are funded by every taxpayer in the country, including those that chose not to vote for you or disagree with you, or indeed those lefty wokies! You job as Prime Minister is to lead the entire country, not just this who agree with you.
The UK is still one of the safest countries on earth, even with recent increases in knife crimes, intolerance and abuse on the streets etc. And for minority groups, which country is safer than the UK? I don’t know if any. People have a moan about the UK all the time and yes, intolerance is at an all-time high (largely due to the rise of illiteracy and populism) but still, can you name a safer, better country for minority groups? No. We are still a nation where for each and every idiot/bigot, we have people who will stand firmly against intolerance. Albeit sometimes their voices are not heard.
But our politics is presently in such a terrible place. We have regressed way back to an era perhaps in the 1700s. We now promote and encourage divisions. The Brexit referendum was 6 years ago but we want to permanently label our citizens as leavers or remainers for political expediency. “WOKE” is now anything we feel populists will applaud us for, if we say woke is nonsense. Somebody says: “let’s provide for the poor”: woke nonsense! Let’s stop wars and spend more effort on diplomacy: woke nonsense! Let’s stop hurling abuse on people because of the colour of their skin: woke nonsense! Let’s do something about the harmful climatic conditions: more woke nonsense!
Funnily enough, the ones who will suffer most, are these same populist anti-woke folk who are largely low-income earners being repeatedly manipulated by wealthy politicians
Lefty, Righty, Woke, anti-Woke… WHO GIVES A DAMN???! We need to return to a semblance of decency. Let’s find politicians who realise their job is to heal divisions and not encourage it! Yes, we will always have people with differing views etc., but for someone seeking high office or already in government to pander to populism by using words that belong in a gutter, is reprehensible. We need to concentrate of addressing the cost of living crisis and helping the poor, energy crisis etc. All that require togetherness!
Yes, wasting my breath! I know…..
