Woke Culture Far From Dead, and Thriving in the UK, Look at the BBC

Despite widespread public frustration, the ideology often referred to as "wokery" is not only alive in the UK but thriving within its major institutions. Elon Musk may have declared that “the tide has turned” on woke culture in the United States, but such optimism does not hold true across the Atlantic. In Britain, the progressive values associated with this movement have become deeply entrenched, extending their influence over sectors ranging from education and healthcare to arts and media. The apparent quieting of prominent activists doesn’t signify a loss; rather, it signals their victory.

 

These ideals dominate some of the nation’s most influential organizations, including the civil service, universities, and even unexpected corners such as luxury car advertising. A prime example of this influence can be seen at the BBC, an institution funded by the British public. The broadcaster recently awarded its “Women’s Footballer of the Year” title to Barbra Banda, a player who had been disqualified from competing in the 2022 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations for failing to meet sex eligibility standards. The decision sparked outrage, with J.K. Rowling summarizing public sentiment by stating, “Presumably the BBC decided this was more time-efficient than going door-to-door to spit directly in women’s faces.”

 

 

Football itself offers another striking example. In a women’s match this summer, a teenage player questioned whether a member of the opposing team was a man. The player was biologically male, yet the governing authorities deemed the question transphobic. The result? A six-match ban for the teenage girl. The decision highlights a growing trend: concerns over fairness and safety in women’s sports are often dismissed as discrimination, leaving those who question such practices vulnerable to censure.

 

This issue underscores the growing chasm between the public and the cultural elite. Many Britons find the inclusion of biologically male athletes in women’s sports problematic, citing safety concerns and the inherent physical advantages males often possess. The public prioritizes safeguarding fairness and physical well-being over the potential for emotional offense, but such views are increasingly marginalized by those in power.

 

Despite polls and surveys reflecting public discontent, the ideology persists, largely because it has been absorbed into the worldview of those shaping policies, culture, and education. These values are no longer fringe; they are the norm among those who govern and influence British society. The resistance from ordinary citizens seems irrelevant when faced with the institutional grip of this "pious, poisonous progressivism."

 

The reality is inescapable: woke culture is not in decline. It is firmly established, unapologetically present, and poised to remain a dominant force. Its advocates are not merely content with their victories; they continue to reinforce their ideals, ensuring that their influence extends even further. For those who resist, the message is clear—woke culture is not just alive but thriving, and its proponents show no signs of relenting.

The UK is an outlier in many ways. While the US and much of Europe has seen a rise in support of right wing parties and a rejection of Woke idiocy, we have the clowns of the Labour party running the country (into the ground).

 

Let's see how much damage they can do before being removed at the next election. They're certainly doing their best to ruin the country they despise.

The apparatus of wokeness is still in place i.e. the education system and media. It's an agenda that has been pushed by minority activist groups and somehow has been accepted by governments and industry. The mind virus is strong and those severely affected will not and cannot see that it's complete and utter BS.

It has been apparent for a generation that those with no real purpose or meaning in life are strong advocates of both wokery and climate change theory. Empty shells of people who are unable to think independently, hate themselves, hate their country, and hate humanity.
