Katharine Birbalsingh, the head of one of Britain's best state schools, has written an excoriating letter to Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson after a meeting where Phillipson exposed her ignorance of her own bill.
The rise of the digital world has led to a new form of economic order, technofeudalism, in which "cloud capitalists" like Amazon and Google dominate and take their cut, says Yanis Varoufakis. Prof James Alexander agrees.
The worst political word of our time is ‘delivery’, says Prof James Alexander. It's on the lips of every politician, but this "Amazonisation" of politics completely misunderstands what politics is about.
A teacher writes that his school has become little more than a woke indoctrination factory focused on churning out identikit Left-wing activists. But the incessant alarmism is taking a toll on their mental health.
Many critics of wokery allow that the woke have "good intentions" but just err in the means to achieve their goals. But is that really true? David Hansard thinks not.
The underlying climate message is hard-core Marxist: recognising the reality of 'climate breakdown' means limiting the freedom of the individual "in the name of the wellbeing of the collective", activists say.
As brands and marketing departments put 'social justice' and over-representing minorities above actually selling products, it appears that 'go woke, go broke' strikes again.
