I'll happily put you up decent odds on him getting his deposit back! If you were going to start an "anti-woke protest movement" London would be about the last place you'd want to start. Just Lozza doesn't much fancy himself up in the red wall I'd imagine... |

As I say, BoJo became mayor and he's the biggest clown of the lot. You watch Fox change his strategy slightly if he does indeed campaign seriously to become mayor. He's got (for whatever reason) a public following. It's very much in the vein of Hopkins/SY-L/Morgan etc. Some people love the whole faux outrage these days and suck it all up. Gullible? I don't know but the public seem easily swayed. Except Barrymore, they'll never forgive Barrymore  |

Carl of Swindon has nearly a million subscribers on YouTube and he didn't get voted into South Wests European council seat.

He's not trying to get elected. He's in the mould of populist right wing grifters like Farage and Yaxley Lennon who use the politics as a bully pulpit to get the gullible to sign up to donate to their "Stop me from being silenced" campaign/buy merch/subscribe to funds etc to fund the luxury lifestyle, million pound mansions and mountains of coke. |

Fox is a puppet of whoever is funding him, its just chipping away at bringing hard right opinions into the mainstream and be normalised by the media, much as with Brexit its a long term well funded process.
A highlight over the weekend was Fox explaining that he was doing this as he had been dominated into silence, he did this writing apiece in the Telegraph so the domination into silence isn't that bad is it!

It seems to be a new alt-right mantra that's emerged.
"WE HAVE NO VOICE": He said - to an audience of millions.
You've got right-wing papers dominating the print media and TV apparently leaning increasingly further that way as well. But, still, the idiots will lap it up.

An anti woke agenda is quite clever at the moment. It wont be too difficult to attract a decent following. For every action, there's a reaction.

If a brexiteer is a gammon then a woke person is a snowflake. I'd prefer to use neither term myself. |

Well sort of, yes in the eye of the right at least. However the definition of woke is actually 'alert to injustice in society, especially racism.' which to many is a good thing but to those trying to stoke some sort of culture war, being alert to injustice is a bad thing apparently. oh I don't know any more. Its a bit like the mess which has become being anti antifa...... |

That's dead easy. Antifa is a contraction of anti-fascist. Anti-anti is a redundant double ngeative. Anti-antifas are just fascists. HTH |

Out of interest, how would you describe anyone who is opposed to the Democratic Republic of North Korea? |

That's not true. Antifa is just a name, you can oppose the way they conduct themselves and/or doubt that they really do embody the values that the name suggests that they do. That wouldn't make you a fascist. That would just make you unconvinced they represent who they say they represent |
