    Agree. I think the term crisis is a bit sensationalist, if not easy nit-picking by Starmer at the Tories.

    Most people are able to cope with what is only a small % rise in costs, and for most it means one less trip to the pub or day out per month, as opposed to choosing between eating and heating which the media are claiming is commonplace.

    Everyone I know is feeling the/a pinch as a result of rising costs, but nobody to the extent to call it a ‘crisis ‘.

    I’ve never watched any of the “anti-woke” news channels in any length, but I have seen plenty of clips shared far and wide on social media, which is probably the point.

    Like this clip.

    I don’t know who he is, or the context, but he’s not wrong.

    I won't waste my time explaining it when you quote Harry Gration in your reply. If you can't see where the corruption is then I can't help you. And no it isn't on Look North.

    Id like to think UK audiences have recognised the role right wing media and social media played in the storming of Washington last year , and Fake News' . I guess they have also leant a lesson from the phone bugging ' scandals , from our tabloids. The BBC is not perfect but its faults pale into insignificance compared to Piers Morgan/Farrarge/ etc.

    I'll correct you. The definition of being woke (in Britain) is making life as inconvenient, difficult and/or frustrating as possible for the overwhelming majority [native] demographic in order to pander to [any] minority demographic's demands.

    In a woke Briton's ideal world, we would have:

    - approximately 72 genders
    - something not far off 138 sexualities
    - climate lockdowns
    - mental health lockdowns
    - no aeroplanes
    - only bicycles, walking or variations of wheelchairs as methods of transport
    - 50%+ of the population being immigrants
    - no restrictions whatsoever for anyone coming into the country - planes would be allowed to send immigrants in
    - straight heterosexual relationships banned unless they're interracial
    - no white/white relationships unless it fits in the lqbtqiuaxyz+ bracket
    - primary school children being taught about male pregnancy and gay sex by drag queens
    - male pregnancy as a social norm
    - women, ethnic minorities or those in the lgbtqiuaxyz+- community given all the jobs in power and/or influence instead of white straight men because we should all be ashamed for events that occurred before we were born

    And like @NorthernMonkey@NorthernMonkey says, almost none of these would affect your day to day life ;)

    Also, not forgetting, cancel culture with no books, no history, no statues and a complete ban on anything entertaining or funny......

    Swing back from a position that doesn't currently exist, and a place where we currently are not?

    Woke doesn’t exist? Christ. You really have enclosed yourself in a dystopian leftist fantasy world haven’t you.

    I’ve got news for you. Those ‘dumb things’ enlisted are the real world, pal. And not everyone is on board.
