Where are the radical anti-Woke UK bloggers?

One of the worrying things about political social media in this country is that, if the true right radicals are massively on the ground in North America and on the Continent, they're very thin on the ground among bloggers in the UK. 

An example was Fahrenheit 201 who came out with: "I’m a great admirer of the current Equalities Minister Kemi Badenoch the MP for Saffron Walden in Essex." Apparently that's because, as "Equalities Minister", she's "tackling racism". 

Where does one even begin? Firstly, what the hell is an EM for in the first place? When she says she's tackling "race baiters", one first thinks she's attacking natives who disagree with her. But she then names Antifa/BLM, so fair dos, that's what she should be doing - Hamilton, Southgate etc. 

But the whole premise is wrong in the first place. Then you get Tallbloke quoting the Guardian in a climate warrior way. Whaaaaa? With that entire debate highly politicised? I tell you, I'm finding enormous difficulty finding sites which deal with British politics from a broader perspective than M25 bubble party politics. 

One such is Legiron, another Richard Wellings, there's Gillian McKeith, there's our Julia here of course, IMHO the best blogger in the land on non-parliamentary ground level Brit issues, sometimes the Slog, but in the main, they're all tweeting.  Now good for them I say, go for it - but where are my fellow anti-Woke bloggers? Where have they gone? 

Liberty's Torch started, then went no further. Samizdata still does the job but all the same, there be dragons over there too among the writers. UK Column has fallen away, Guido is cuckservative at this point, Conservative Woman is mixed message but probably the leading blog just now, yet very M25 bubble.  Lockdown Sceptics has gone full cuck.

Richard Wellings is great but once again, he's tweeting, not blogging. Remember GS2? In my case, too idiosyncratic and rude, also 'wittering on', yup I know that. Longrider is good value as a blogger - he and I started Scriblerus with Grandad and Sackers. Sackers is my old friend from way back but some of his messages ... hmmmm. Other posts are spot on. Many bloggers do splutter and fizzle radical politics, some of my own friends who shall remain nameless.

I'd like to be corrected on all this - shown that there are any number of truly dissident anti-Woke bloggers about in the UK.  Dellers is good when he has his thinking cap on.
