Yes. This ludicrous phrase 'woke right' seems a fairly blatant attempt by people on the actual right to somehow associate the blatant & hideous racism they have ushered in - whether through complacency, incompetence or malice - with the people who warned it was happening.
Anti-racism is of course welcome but the nonsensical phrase “woke right” is a very clear sign that a writer as lost it
"This week the woke right took to saying that people who are black aren't properly British" complains Danny Finkelstein.
No, Danny, Douglas Murray, who you patronised, promoted and admired, has been saying *exactly this* for over a decade.

The government want more coercive powers for the state against protests, and the main opposition party wants more coercive powers for the state against migrants.
Our political-media culture continues in a loop where the response to every perceived problem is yet more coercive powers for the state.

Police to get new powers to crack down on repeated protests, says Home Office
Move follows arrest of almost 500 people at latest pro-Palestinian demonstration in London on Saturday
Ministers are to give police new powers to target repeated protests, aimed particularly at cracking down on demonstrations connected to Gaza, the Home Office has said.
The announcement, made the morning after almost 500 people were arrested in London for expressing support for Palestine Action, a proscribed organisation, could allow police to order regular protests to take place at a different site. Continue reading...

It's like the media's refusal to call unionists in the north racist.
“The second anyone suggests that a man whose entire political career has been devoted to attacking migrants and making discriminatory comments about non-white people, might be a racist, all hell breaks loose”
Enough. Farage is a racist menace. We must say so.

A rational and reasonable person would question how you can call yourself a free speech absolutist and then celebrate the cancelling of a comedian for saying something you don’t like or target people for not mourning enough or in the right way. But these people are not reasonable or rational.

Unionist journalists simply can't join the dots. Some clutching going on.
What an utter flop after hyping this decision as a "game-changer". SF clearly didn't want to back Connolly; for more than two months since her launch it has searched for a SF candidate and couldn't agree one. Now the party is openly divided on the issue, which is highly unusual.

What the hell makes a millionaire dancer think he knows anything about the ordinary Irish people.
Flatley, as far as I can see, lives in tax haven Monaco yet somehow thinks he is can give a voice to ordinary 'Irish people' who he thinks don't have a voice. Why is Brendan O'Connor so fascinated by him ? Perhaps this is the 'Dana' candidate #Spéirghorm www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

I don't actually have an issue with bonfires. Well, apart from the sectarianism attached to some and the environmental issues but those issues could actually be easily addressed if loyalists actually gave a shit about anyone else.
Why controlling rather than eradicating bonfires could help loyalism, and society

Absolutely remarkable what some people will criticise but think is acceptable when it comes to "their" people. There's a distinct parallel with political unionism and loyalism here.
