Supplementary #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianGabyHinsliff "Trying to clarify what the UK public understands by the perennially slippery term 'woke', in 2022 the pollsters YouGov asked respondents how well it fitted various contemporary causes. The highest match - above trans rights, no-platforming people whose opinions you dislike, stronger action on climate change and the Black Lives Matter movement itself - was with removing historical statues associated with slavery, like that of Colston. Something about this combination of direct action against a highly symbolic target, and revisiting history through a modern social justice lens, meant that 61% considered it woke. For some, that was perhaps a compliment. But by 2022, a word briefly synonymous with enlightened liberal consciousness - borrowed from a phrase used as far back as the 1930s by black Americans, urging each other to 'stay woke'' to the threat of racial violence - was already becoming what the then Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon called 'a pejorative term of abuse'. The narrative that woke ultimately ate itself, becoming so shrill, sanctimonious and yet simultaneously brittle that a backlash was almost inevitable, has been building ever since it became clear Donald Trump was on course to win a second presidential term. Britain, with its newly elected Labour government, initially seemed sheltered from the prevailing winds. While corporate America scrambled to ditch diversity policies following Trump's victory, only 11% of British firms surveyed by the Institute of Directors planned similar changes." https://www.theguardian.com/news/2025/jun/10/how-does-woke-start-winning-again #2025_ #BrandYouGov #2022_ #TheoryLinguisticsSocioAfricanAmericanVernacularEnglishAAVE #OrgClassifPPUKScottishNationalPartySNPNicolaSturgeon #TauntSelfRighteousnessSanctimoniousness #PoliticsProgressivismBrittle #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump47thPresident #OrgClassifPPUKLabour #TauntBigBusinessCorporateCorporations #PolicyDiversityEquityAndInclusionDEI
