Every time I pick up the newspaper or go on line and see what's been posted on social media I end up despairing of what has become of political discourse in this country and frankly elsewhere. When I see The Times publishing an article about the discovery of a transgender Viking I wonder how much history will be re-written or amended to suit the new "woke" politics.
Have these people not heard of Shield Maidens. In fact are they not aware there is a long history of women warriors. Amongst others I call Queen Boudicca of the Iceni as a witness to that fact. The efforts by trans-activists and their allies to wipe biological women off the map seems to know no bounds.
There was even a disgusting report of trans activists threatning violence against a woman campaigning against male violence against women.
Women Are Human reported
FR — Paris. On August 12, 2020, Marguerite Stern tweeted that for her own safety, she had to move from her home, due to threats from trans rights activists. Ms Stern launched the Collages Feminicide movement in August 2019, which involves pasting posters on city walls denouncing male violence against women.

Surely everyone should see the problem therein. Just because Ms Stern doesn't think women have dicks means she and her children are threatened and made homeless by a bunch of self entitled men. Appalling.
Then I see these anti-maskers marching around claiming that masks reduce oxygen consumption (they don't) and COVID 19 is all about control of the population plus those pesky 5G Masks are transmitting viruses that affect our health. Deranged that last one. The other Corbyn (Piers) is involved with that lot.
Talking of Corbyn there's the question of racism. Because of Jeremy Corbyn and his mates this country has seen antisemitism become mainstream as the comrades target a community over a question of anti-imperialism thereby denying a whole people of the right of self determination. As a result the left adopted the attitudes that Zionists (that's Jews to you and me) control the media, the banks and have many Labour MP's on their payroll.
This hasn't gone away but the comrades couldn't wait to demonstrate their so-called anti-racism by support the Black Lives Matter movement. Yes racism against Black people (and those of all colour's and ethnic groups) needs to be fought and exposed this cannot be done when there is so much racism at the heart of the American based BLM itself.
Antisemitism was once restricted to a few nutters around the black supremacist Nation of Islam organisation around Louis Farrakhan but this thanks to the left and their Islamist allies has spread to the BLM leadership in the USAand saw BLM UK hijacked by the far left.
Simply put racism cannot be fought with racism.
The legacy of the woke and the far left on British politics has had wide spread damaging effects which when combined with the divisions created over Brexit have left a population divided against itself and seemingly bereft of any politicians of reason.
The current government is floundering though the opposition is still far from ready to replace them. Sir Keir Starmer may be more electable than the intellectually challenged Corbyn but the party is in turmoil and it's policies remain to far to the left. McCluskey and Momentum are preparing rearguard action that may keep a stable and rational opposition party from being formed.
Meanwhile faith in the political system flounders. there was a time that I had at least some idea of who to support and what direction to take. That certainty has gone replaced with despair as I look at the world of politics around me.
To so many the world is simply to be seen in black and white. The world and it's problems are not like that. There are shades of grey and nuances that lead to compromise a word long gone from our political lexicon.
I have been lazy with my blogging in recent times I want to make a contribution to political change even if on a micro-level as were my activities as trade unionist which helped me develop a certain pragmatism another concept missing from debate these days.
In the coming weeks and months I will be looking at ways to reclaim politics and the Labour Party in particular from those that see the world in monochrome.
