Awake Not Woke

  I’ve spent quite a bit of time on twitter explaining why the Prime Minister's speech was brilliant and what the purpose is of a leader's words at the finale of a party's conference. What it isn’t is a summary of all the challenges we face and all the policies that are coming into play. That was the job of the rest of the conference and the cabinet’s key speeches. The left hate that Boris is such a charismatic orator, so optimistic and upbeat but that’s exactly what the grassroots need. He was speaking to conference and the nation about his vision and it was clearly spelt out – Levelling up and uniting the country with the passion and determination to make it happen. Compare this to Labour's divisive mindset and Starmer's boring offer. We don’t need the miserableness of the opposition or the doom and gloom main stream media who reject anything positive, especially if it's Conservative flavoured. It was the best speech I’ve ever heard at a conference and...

  Got Brexit done by leaving the EU, delivering on our promise to the British people.  We have got Brexit done and taken back control of the issues that matter to the British people. Leaving the EU has given us the freedom to develop one of the fastest vaccine roll-outs in the world, establish 8 freeports across the country, install a points-based immigration system, and negotiate new trade deals with the EU and other countries. Signed almost 70 trade deals worth almost £900 billion into law, signalling to the world we are once again a sovereign free trading nation.  Our historic Trade Act allows us to put the agreements we have struck as a newly independent twenty-first century trading nation into law. For the first time in almost 50 years, the interests of the British people and their businesses’ can be put first in our trade agreements Establishing eight new Freeports across England, boosting jobs, investment and communities now that we have left the EU.  New Free...

I'm not a raving feminist, never have been because I have always believed, as Mrs Thatcher did, that women must show, not tell their strengths and talents. Stop the talking and the victimhood and do the doing. I'ts there for any woman. The local elections have been a resounding success for Ipswich Conservatives but you would have to look at the small print in our local paper to even see remotely what actually happened. Suffolk County Council have not just gained some extra representatives for Ipswich as Conservative county councillors, more importantly they include 4 extra females representing Ipswich divisions for the Conservatives. And boy did each and every one of us deserve our victory because Labour were not just 'pipped' (as described in the Ipswich Star) but the swing to us was massive in anyone's books. But we cant get there without the support of many others. As well as the candidates, there were also some brilliant women behind the scenes.  Let's start...

 In my first post, I focused on feminism and 'concept creep'. Today I'd like to focus on challenging the current unproven claims by the far left who are determined to label and separate every group in order to divide. Marxists are very organised so please dismiss the idea that all of this political correctness has just evolved over time. It has not. It has been a co-ordinated strategy where various far left groups come together to blame the rest of us for all their ills, by dividing, pointing the finger and blaming the government, police, capitalism, anyone that doesnt agree with their socialist ideals. They are anti-normalists and want to destroy our western culture and family lives. The best thing to do is to look at the original claim, the way they pre-frame the issue, because if you don't do this and allow them to frame the debate, you will fall into the concept creep tactic I mentioned in my first blog post. A great example of this is the current issue of women...

Welcome to my new blog - Awake Not Woke! I first had this article published on twitter by Pub Politics and repeat it here as I intend to dedicate this site to educating and discussing political correctness and woke, which I believe is ruining our society, dividing communities and is championing Marxism. It is the most important battle of our times. Woke and political correctness are not descriptions that would’ve passed you by, even if you’re not a fan of social media or of reading a newspaper. The ever more regular public examples of catastrophizing, within some innocent debate or opinion, often reaches the point of being accused of something akin to murder and can be almost laughable. Except it isn’t funny. The damage to people’s careers and lives cannot be ignored and only the Woke and far left refuse to see it as a problem until it happens to them, as in the ever growing cases such as that of JK Rowling and other celebrities who’ve managed to get themselves into all sorts of ...
