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

Supplementary #NMUKBBCChloeHarcombe "For hundreds of years, Edward Colston was celebrated and honoured by many in his home city of Bristol, but an anti-racism protest held in the city on 7 June 2020 changed that in the most dramatic way. The toppling of his statue five years ago today made headlines around the world, forcing Bristolians to examine the legacy of the 17th Century slave trader. ... He found wealth through his work and later became an official of the Royal African Company, which held the monopoly in Britain on slave trading. He is believed to have transported about 80,000 men, women and children from Africa to the Americas between 1672 and 1689. ... The beginning of the end for Colston's close relationship with Bristol began thousands of miles away in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on 25 May, 2020. Police were called to a grocery store to reports of a 46-year-old man allegedly paying for a pack of cigarettes with a counterfeit $20 bill. That man was George Floyd. Former police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on Mr Floyd's neck for more than nine minutes during his arrest. Mr Floyd's pleas of "I can't breathe" as he died sent shock waves around the world - including towards Bristol. Black Lives Matter protests sprung up across the world, calling for an end to racism and police brutality." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg4ej8j41yo #ToponymAmericaNorthUSMinnesotaMinneapolis #2025_

Supplementary #AdvocacyUKHopeNotHateJoeMulhall "Union Jacks and the crosses of St George have begun to appear on lampposts up and down the UK in recent days. Much of the right-wing media has celebrated, with the Daily Mail dubbing those behind it an 'army of patriots.' While there is nothing wrong with flying the nation's flags, HOPE not hate can reveal that the key organisers behind much of this activism are hardened and extreme far-right activists. While many instances of flags being raised, or crosses being painted on roundabouts or walls, are being carried out by ordinary people inspired by posts on social media, the main organising force behind the campaign is 'Operation Raise the Colours'. HOPE not hate can reveal that the co-founder and organiser of the group is longtime Stephen Lennon (AKA Tommy Robinson) ally Andrew Currien (AKA Andy Saxon). Formerly a key member of the English Defence League's leadership bodyguard team, and now running security for the far-right party Britain First, Currien has previously been jailed for his part in a racist death."

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheObserverWillJennings "It was not the first time Musk has sought to stir division in Britain. At the height of tensions during the 2024 riots he announced to his 200 million X followers: 'Civil war is inevitable.' Addressing the protest organised by far-right activist Robinson in September, Musk again used inflammatory language: 'Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die, that's the truth.' ... While it was never perfect, X has become a pay-for-play playground for conspiracy theorists, racists, grifters and anyone else willing to buy a blue tick or boosted by Musk's algorithms because their message aligns with his dystopian worldview. Most of all, buying X gave Musk a huge foghorn that enables him to insert himself as the main character in any political conflict he chooses." https://observer.co.uk/news/opinion-and-ideas/article/elon-musk-wont-stop-its-time-the-british-government-got-off-x-for-good #IRLEntrepreneurElonMusk #BrandTechSocialMediaXFKATwitter #2024_UKFarRightProtests #MetaphorWarfareCivil #MetaphorDeceitDisingenuousGrift #NarrativeUtopiaDystopia

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheObserverAndrewAnthony "Robert Eden, a longtime resident, is adamant that there is absolutely no bigotry involved. 'If I thought they were racist,' he says, 'I would go up every lamppost, wherever they are, and rip them down. They just want them to be racist to have something to say. They just want to complain.' Who are 'they'? 'Basically,' he says, lowering his voice conspiratorially, 'the Muslims.' There are certainly no complaints from two local Muslim cab drivers I speak to. 'I can't see the problem,' one says. 'If people want to be patriotic, let them.

#MagazineNewStatesmanHarryClarkeEzzidio "'I don't really have an emotional response to it, [though] I think a lot of people do,' one of the shop's white customers - who did not want to give his name - said of the national flags whilst getting a skin fade. 'Unpacking that is a very, very complicated thing to do... They mean different things to different people.' When a symbol is so widely recognised, but has a malleable meaning and definition, scepticism abounds. ... 'The social contract's broken,' Joseph Moulton, the boyish-looking organiser behind Flag Force UK, told GB News.

#NewspaperUKBrdshtBylineTimesNicolaKelly and #NewspaperUKBrdshtBylineTimesOllyHaynes [Muckrack] "The 'Raise the Colours' flag-raising campaign, which claims to be a 'grassroots' campaign for 'unity' and has drawn the support of mainstream political parties and widespread coverage in the British media, has pivoted to stabbing through dinghies and harassing and racially abusing migrants and aid workers in the camps of Northern France ... UKIP leader Nick Tenconi has also been seen in the camps targeting migrants. In one video, Tenconi is seen proclaiming: 'Northern France is now British territory!' Approaching a group in Calais, he shouted: 'You are not welcome in Britain', and asked if they were 'planning to come to Britain illegally.' Individuals acting alone have also been seen in the camps and on the beaches of northern France, including activists with large followings such as 'Ross the Don'. Charity workers say that the number of British far right groups attempting to harass and intimidate migrants and aid workers has increased since the signing of the UK-France 'one in, one out' deal." https://bylinetimes.com/2025/12/18/raise-the-colours-flags-campaign-nigel-farage-migrants-aid-workers-on-french-beaches/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJw0CuQc3Kg #OrgClassifPPUKIndependencePartyUKIPNickTenconi #OrgSyndicateAccordGrassrootsMovement #BeliefTheismChristianityForgivenessMercy #IRLPrivateCitizenRossChildsAKARossTheDon [forum] [tweet] #BeliefTheismChristianityCrucifix #MetaphorWarfareBattleCapitulateSurrender [tweet]

the collection of images conflate violence and anarchy with legitimate #PhenomnProtestDemonstration. They serve to incite #TheoryAffectiveResponsePanic through the use of a #ReasoningFallacyStrawman.

The imagery is a #CharacterisationOversimplification / #ReasoningFallacyFalseEquivalence, most likely attractive to those who recognise the portrayal in terms of a #ReasoningFallacyBiasCognitiveConfirmation.
