Gareth, a Planet Normal listener, wrote to tell me he retired last year from his job as a lawyer to a major public inquiry after three-and-a-half years engaged by the Cabinet Office. “The CO strives hard to promote a ‘woker than thou’ attitude (about the only department in which it does strive hard!) and since the pandemic this went into overdrive,” says Gareth.
“It encompassed the entire woke canon from compulsory ‘unconscious bias’ training through finger-wagging lectures on ‘micro-aggressions’, ‘white fragility/privilege’, critical race theory, BLM and structural racism, aka all the shibboleths of the progressive Left, but under a supposedly Conservative Government.”
According to Gareth, the Cabinet Office “is symptomatic of the whole civil-service culture which treats the elected Government with disdain and pursues its own ultra-woke agenda which is entirely contrary to official policy”.
Like many members of staff his age, he was appalled by the “all-pervasive propaganda”. He couldn’t stand a climate in which often entirely innocuous comments were treated as “micro-aggressions” and any deviation from the official view (formerly known as “a difference of opinion”) was treated as heretical.
The civil service, the NHS, higher education and far too many private companies have become a paradise for “recreational offence-takers” who love to air their concocted grievances.
On one occasion, Gareth had a complaint lodged against him for using the term Anglo-Saxon. “Apparently, it has negative connotations for the woke. Who knew?”
All right ... over 50s increasingly being made to feel irrelevant, Them above playing on the aging-angst as on a violin, young ignorati chanting Woke mantra at us.
The current talking point was provided by "criminal" Hancock ... a change from "criminal" Sunpak or fellow traveller Braverman I suppose. With "criminal" Starmer waiting in the wings. "Criminal" Hancock had been haranguing the unjabbed (the sane in other words) and could not resist calling it antisemitic.
Whaaaaa? Clown world or some sort of bestial end times? Will these creeps ever look back and say to themselves ... how on earth was I ever under the spell of globowoke?
