Joanna Cherry mocked by Sir John Hayes in House of Commons
But, inexcusably, instead the Mayor of London decided to finance the formation of the image of a clenched fist in the sky the symbol of Black Lives Matter, whose UK arm is committed to defunding the police. History will record that, when in 2020 most Britons, of all origins, combined to stay safe and protect the NHS, even during the horror of a global pandemic, culture warriors continued their campaign to pull our country apart.
Yet too many people with power, perhaps too timid to do otherwise, have kowtowed.
Perhaps militant activists remain unchallenged by much of the media because, at first glance, they seem plausible.
After all, no reasonable person wants to see others subjected to abuse about their race or gender.
However, anything more than a passing look shows how the culture warriors reinforce stereotypes and promote prejudices. Certainly, they regard with contempt most of what Britons hold dear.
Take those who want to decolonise the curriculum behind the campaign to tear down the statue of Cecil Rhodes from Oriel College Oxford. Its not just Rhodes they despise, but the whole edifice of a university embodying excellence.
Instead of seriously considering the history of empire, advocates of decolonisation are attempting to capture and own education.
They believe that all academic subjects, including maths and the sciences, must be decolonised stripped of white privilege. Uninterested in measured debate, they wish to force their ideology on others.
Such is the ultimate irony of decolonisation, advocates have the same moral certainty about their values as did the 19th-century empire builders they loathe. What is true of the decolonise the curriculum movement is embedded in organisations from the BBC to Parliament itself.
With echoes of Maos cultural revolution, unconscious bias training dictates that, having disowned our national history, recipients discard what was taught by their forefathers and what theyve learned from experience.
Much of the new establishment sees race and gender as far more important than any other human quality. For some, even our shared common humanity is condemned.
Our vocabulary itself is under attack the transgender rights movement reckons describing someone as male or female is itself an example of bigotry.
Those who refuse to be indoctrinated will be silenced by the cancel culture. This new puritanism is narrow, intolerant and spiteful.
The liberal establishments eager embrace is an attempt to justify its own seclusion from perceived untutored mainstream sentiments.
Much of this establishment from the Mayor of London to the National Trust, from the BBC to big corporations such as Starbucks pays lip service to woke dogma, convinced that anyone who believes in traditional norms is either antiquated or simply vulgar.
These are the same haughty elitists who regard those who voted to leave the EU as stupid. The distorted view of our history and society promoted can be countered by simply citing the facts.
For example, it just isnt true that Britain abolished the slave trade because it was no longer profitable, as is often alleged by bourgeois liberals. Historians calculate that the impact of ending and suppressing the slave trade cost 1.8 percent of national income over 60 years.
A huge outlay in the service of a just cause.
Heroic Horatio Nelson, recently targeted by elitist wokes, made all this possible by securing the future of our maritime power.
Thenewyear represents a new chance for a crusade against these woke militants. The outlandish claims made by the culture warriors would be laughable if they did not pose a sinister threat to our freedom.
Some may say, You cant stand in the way of progress, but these are the same kind of people that claimed we would never leave the EU and then predicted that we could not secure a favourable trade deal.
Appeasers are wrong.
Those who oppose tyrannical wokeness have right on their side and, with sufficient resolve, patriots will prevent the imposition of their puritanism on us all.
