Tim Parker managed to upset many volunteers as well as members of the NT. Time he went.

I'm afraid it will be an uphill battle. They have infested most areas of the public sector, it will be difficult to get rid of them, bit like the covid virus.

I have cancelled my subscription to the NT. Been thinking of doing so for a couple of years.

The fight-back is starting in other areas too: heavy penalties for unwarranted removing of statues & 'the government plans to appoint a ‘free speech champion’ to the board of the Office for Students. His or her responsibility will be to make sure universities in England do everything that is reasonably practicable to uphold freedom of speech within the law, including preventing external speakers from being no-platformed by student activists. This legal duty has been on the statute books since 1986, but there is no enforcement mechanism. That’s why this announcement is so important. The new free speech tsar will have the power to fine universities that don’t uphold the law.'

The latest bit of woke-wonkiness I heard from the NT was that children had been invited to ‘reverse mentor’ adult staff on the evils of colonialism.

I cancelled my subscription when all this nonsense began but this idiot’s departure is welcome news.

Actor Lawrence Fox and YouTube presenter and London Assembly member Peter Whittle are also influential campaigners to the cause for freedom.

Can anyone explain what woke is, I hear it a lot. No sarcastic nasty replies please, they're the only thing I don't like about AB

[emmie]

getting offended on behalf on other people, being told what to think, shades of 1984 as far as that goes.

[emmie]

rewriting history to suit their own aims, tearing down statues that may depict someone who has had links with the slave trade and so forth.
