Taken from Twitter today in response to Grant Shapps' assertion that woke culture is to blame for the country's woes
I genuinely would like to explore just how the actual fuck the Tories have gotten to the point that being "woke" seems to be the one and only reason for the omniclusterfuck we're living through, so if you don't mind, can any proponent of the word woke please get back to me on the below.
1. Can you explain to me just how exactly "woke culture" has caused an increase in mortgage repayments by hundreds of pounds, squeezing already light wallets tighter than a ducks arse?
2. Or can you tell me how being "woke" has caused this country to be in a position that you're more likely to find a five pound note flying past you on the street than get a GP appointment or have a life changing surgery within weeks instead of years?
3. Do elucidate to us all how apparent "wokeness" has caused a housing crisis in which there are garden sheds that aren't even fit for habitation by a herd of cats being rented out for £1,350 a month in the North of London for humans to try and live in?
4. As things stand, millions of people are living in destitution across this country - a term that should not even be uttered in the sixth richest economy in the world, yet here we are. In your view, how has "wokeness" cause us to get to this point?
5. Last week, there were queues and queues of people standing in line for a damned dentist because the whole of the dental system in this country has collapsed faster than a plastic chair on a warm day when I try to settle my arse into it - please do tell me how it is that "wokeness" has contributed to this crisis?
6. Our rivers, streams and oceans are utterly flooded with human shit by water companies that are completely a law unto themselves, causing illness and a massive degradation of our natural environment - which "woke" decisions or policies have led us to this point??
7. This winter, we have seen children having to go to class in coats because schools can't afford to heat, we've seen patients presenting to A&E's with core temperatures of 33.5 degrees because they've had to choose between heating and eating, we've seen millions go hungry and we've seen another year of warm banks - just exactly how is it that "wokeness" has caused this utter ** dystopia we're living through at the moment?
8. Public services have been utterly cut to the bone and are now at the point of being pretty much non-existent - libraries are being closed, support programs are being shut down, adult social care is now nothing but a name, and our country is adrift with not a single safety net available for the most needy anymore - I ask again, how the fuck has "wokeness" been the cause of this?
9. We are living through scandal after scandal after scandal, all underpinned by the worst of governmental failures of transparency, integrity and accountability - from the Windrush Scandal to the Post Office Scandal, we're seeing people being failed, losing their livelihoods, losing their lives, losing their freedoms. How is any of this at the feet of the "woke"?
Is it possible that these systemic failures have absolutely sweet blue fuckall to do with "wokeness" and are rather more caused by fourteen years of being governed by a group of people who have nothing but their own self-interest at heart? Could it be that the very institutions that were supposed to protect and support us have been utterly destroyed by the Conservative Party - a party that is hellbent on nothing but winning an election, but then doing fuckall after they have their majority?
"Wokeness", is not the issue here, . You and your damned party who have been driving this country straight into the wall - again and again and again
