At 58:44 in the Weekly Skeptic, in response to the outrageous Wokery from Archdeacon Miranda Threlfall-Holmes, Toby Young repeats a theory which he says others such as Peter Thiel, John Gray have suggested. Namely that the rise of Wokery in the west is not in fact due to the decline of Christianity, leaving a god shaped hole for wokery to fill, but is instead due to the decline of what are called “classical values” which are alleged to have previously stood alongside Christianity keeping its worst excesses in check or balance. With the classical values washed away this so called Christianity is now given its full vent to become its full Wokish self, which was supposedly apparent from its initiation.

On this Beau bloke and Hate Not Hope and Reform I agree with Tice and Toby, not with Nick. That’s a first for me. Tice’s job is to get votes with a real conservative party. Running a candidate who wants to shut down the Guardian and sounds like he wants to compulsorily repatriate (‘within the law’…yeah,yeah) those who reside here legally, that ain’t gonna win votes. Emotionally I may be there, but I didn’t join the FSU and Reform to shut down The Guardian. Being responsive to the Left’s cancellation tactic is bad, but it’s justified both as realpolitik and… Read more »
