Why would the working class support injustice, especially racism?

There's a massive gap between the original definition and the intolerant, almost Puritanical way Woke is practised. The definition of fascism was to create a strong state. Something goes wrong along the way...

Corbyn had his name chanted at Glastonbury and the some of the left wing media assumed this was a sign of his general popularity. Lesson learned - Glastonbury is not a bell-weather for the rest of the electorate. It's mostly wealthy liberals (and/or their teenage kids) in their wellies having a day out of The City to listen to Lily Allen and her mates!

Its obviously changed since you've been!

Personally I think the word ‘Woke’ tends to be a tad over used by people to label someone they disagree with....a bit like ‘fascist’ has been for many years

Correct it’s just thrown out so a subject is instantly dismissed without any consideration, it doesn’t help when certain aspects of the media give so much oxygen to anyone with any sort of opinion that might cause outrage or be considered a bit odd, so it all becomes thrown into one big pot

I got excited at your surely not sarcastic post and have struck the dreaded paywall.

Funny how he tries to show this as being a negative thing, which it is not. Maybe he should post the £100b deal with India? However I will wait for the US deal?

Hopefully this is suitably not patronising or overly woke so as to not put off would-be Labour voters until the goalposts are moved again.

He won’t even be leader by the time (if ever) Labour ever get into power?

I don’t even know what it is. I’m assuming from your post it’s a trade deal replicating what we already had.

Probably not, but worth a go rather than just conceding to people like you who will never vote for him anyway while pumping out government propaganda like a Russian bot.

Interesting I’m pumping out propaganda yet you don’t pump out anti government rubbish in nearly every post?
Good luck voting for your true Labour leader. A north London lawyer MP. What does he support this week?

I’d take this more to heart if your party weren’t overseeing a six figure death toll, siphoning off billions to their mates for sometimes no service at all and ruining more businesses by the week with their ideology.

I’m glad you have changed your stance by using the term ‘overseeing’ and not accusing them, which was wrong. As for ruing businesses, once again you can’t see past your nose. You really need to stop reading The Guardian. Companies all over the World have had problems, we are no different. Things will get better once Covid goes. Still we could listen to Mr Starmer if we can work out what his policies are this week? He has also just been told to be more ‘Pro Business’. Do you actually know what you are talking about? Read up a bit before you post this ill informed rubbish?
