Woke came from awake - i fully suspect it derived from Occupy Wall Street 2011 to 2013. Although “Wake Up” has been around centuries - as in “Wake Up Australia” old old Aussie saying. OWS talked of the 99 vs 1 % more accurately 99.9 vs 0.1% OWS spoke of SHEEPLE and ZOMBIES and those ASLEEP If you don’t get that the 0.1% control the fight, the division, the angst then you not very woke as OWS would have liked. Regardless of which english speaking country you live in, If you don’t get that liberal left political party supporters and bigoted right wing conservative party supporters are stored by the 0.1% then you not very woke indeed.

[@robplazzman6049]

The new left, mainly middle class people, live in a guilt fuelled fantasy land. And the working class ones who remain, especially from ethnic groups, are driven by (misguided) anger. So their theories and views are biased, flawed and unworkable. So the ONLY way they can hold power or change things to their way of thinking is to completely cut off ANY criticism or alternative view. Unfortunately, they’re doing a good job of it at the moment.

[@mogznwaz]

I like Brendan O'Neill and agree with a lot of what he says. I don't agree with all his views but the point is he is free to air them and I am free to listen and make up my own mind. That's why I, as a generally pretty left wing liberal person, no longer associate with the left. Identity politics, groupthink and censorship are abhorrent to me and I find myself defending the so-called alt right nowadays because they appear to share more of my values!!! It's weird to feel that way. I'm not easily offended at all - Milo, Carl Benjamin and co aren't even on my radar of offensiveness. I find screeching, violent sjws and antifa obsessing over 'bad' words and identities, rather than actions or real equality, far more offensive.

As a lonely ‘middle class’ Brexiteer I have long concluded that self confessed Remainers are desperate to be identified as middle class. It reminds me of Britain 20 years ago when office workers openly eschewed trade unions. This is undoubtedly about the need for social classification. I’m intrigued that remainers are never asked why they support the EU! Marion

[@myla6135]

There are plenty of middle class Brexiteers. I'm one too. In fact I know a number of upper-mids who are as well. They all live in rural areas though. The upper-mid types in and near London that I know are definitely "woke" and very much Remainers. If you read The Spectator or The Telegraph you'd come across a large number of middle class Brexiteers. I think many of those live in rural communities. There is a class factor as Brendan says but I think there's also a rural urban divide as well. BTW I now live just outside London but for many, many tears lived in a rural area.

[@peteranderson4170]

I totally agree, I've long observed how PC and leftist politics operates on social conformity. It is a way in which the 'clever' (middle-class) people can distinguish themselves from the 'uneducated' (lower classes).

Yeah. They realized where the money was, got rid of Hitler and went for the woke pound. Hilarious.

[@chrismill9896]

The laughable hypocrisy of those who claim that they will feel "unsafe" is so clear as to be almost a mental illness. It implies that they are the victims of something, whereas they are the perpetrators of bullying against those who disagree with them.

[@kjd9634]

Another great interview. Keep up the good work.

"People without uteruses"? Isn't that trans-exclusionary?

[@briananderson3799]

I don’t have a uterus.Can I get one on EBay ?

[@pauljay482]

The schizophrenic mind! Attempting to hold two opposing views at the same time. The delusion of wishing to promote Marxist filth in which by doing so, sends the left unwittingly into the land of the loony left - putting it mildly.

[@jamiecullum5567]

They don't care that they ideas are contradictory, or are just to stupid or blind to see it

[@KopperNeoman]

Trans-exclusionary and intersectional are two sides of the same transphobic feminist coin. Both are saying that you're not a (wo)man if you're not cis, but in different ways.

He shows the most amazing restraint when he's got Yasmin flapping her arms next to him on Sky.

When I was at school, we had the debating society. That was about realising we have different opinions and how to express one's own.

[@andreaspetrou9296]

thank you for great channel, and brendan is great (especially on sky press previews)

[@user-lk8dp7pk7d]

We need more of this, civility

[@herewardtheoutlaw9378]

The “stay in lane” philosophy is simply cultural apartheid and when you have separated everyone into their little groups comes the scary next step, for example this group we have labelled “Nigerians”, we want to keep their culture pure without your negative white influence, so we will now send them all back to Nigeria to preserve their purity.

[@megmartel6005]

Perfect solution

[@huudielbo728]

Why not let them have this cold,damp place in exchange for that fertile country they don't want?

[@AntPDC]

Well done again, thank you. Douglas Murray at some point please. I suppose that's inevitable.

[@fainitesbarley2245]

They’ll be calling them ‘the great unwashed’ soon.

[@johnhaynes9910]

An excellent conversation between two intelligent people and so many points I can only agree with.

Smart man, he is right, in the 1970s l didn't honestly even notice that Jimi Hendrix was black, l didn't see it

Throughout my entire youth and late into my twenties, I have always been as far left as you can be without actually being anarchist. I have been anti-establishment, anti-authoritarian, liberal and individualistic all my life. Now I get labelled alt-right because I am individualist, not collectivist; because I reject propaganda, group think and censorship. I have always been for free speech, being allowed to scoff at, heckle, criticise and oppose any opinion, ideology or person openly without fear of persecution. Back then, it was a left thing to do; to scoff at, heckle and oppose political correctness in all its forms. I still remember laughing at the lemmings that got a raise from seeing my friends and me sitting on park benches or sidewalks, passing a bottle of cola or beer around, but we never considered any legal action against those scoffers. It was their right to scoff and complain just as it was our right to do the things that would earn being scoffed at. We never hated, we just didn't trust easily either. Dyed hair was a symbol of free thinkers and non-conformists...now it is a symbol of woke group think. The left used to be about individual freedom and liberties...now it is about collective conformity. Anti-Fa used to be peaceful protest against fascism....now it is violent fascism. The left has become what in my youth always was the far right: Authoritarian, censorial, collectivist, obsessed with ethnicity and gender, violent, hateful, ...

[@wjec1970]

Have you read my mind? You could be speaking for me! I feel EXACTLY as you do. I'm concerned that my peers one day will totally annexe me from their social group as they're exactly like the modern left you describe so well. They cannot see what they've become...the very thing they used to rally against!

[@Summer-1976]

Great interview thoroughly enjoyed every minute

[@itmademesignup9508]

Wow, never heard of this guy before, but I will be looking up his other stuff. He is dead on about so much.

[@get2rog]

Last year I left a comment on another post stating how much I resent these antisocial individuals for making me aware of skin colour and becoming suspicious of certain types. Before these 'woke' individuals I never thought about skin colour or even of anyone as different from me in terms of race or orientation. It never impacted on my interactions with people. Maybe that stems from being gay but really I think it's just normal for well adjusted people to be that way. They say they fight for equality when in reality they are enforcing tribal-mentality and creating divides.

[@annmorgan5130]

What a great guy. I agree with everything he says.

[@beardyface8492]

Political correctness gone mad? Sorry, political correctness was mad from the outset.

Thoroughly enjoyed the discussion. Will be a regular from now on. WWG1WGA UK

"...who cannot abide the fact that there are people in the world that disagree with HIM or HER." 😂😂😂 Love this guy!

[@gulag19]

Gracias, gracias, a million times thank you...this was simply “refreshing “. I only wish I had the time and the skills to subtitle this in Spanish. Again, thank you; listening to this was like breathing fresh air. Gracias.

[@si_w8201]

I'm curious with both Brendan O'Neill and Claire Fox in how they are still left wing without falling into the trap of PC and wokeness, or actually coming across as particularly left wing...

[@kesfitzgerald1084]

All Brendan does is express old leftist, working class values. His opinions are very much those of the meat workers I worked along side some 30 years ago and are still those of many working class people today, of whom I still work along side.

Love Brandon!!! God bless him, thank you for the interview

[@blagger42]

At last a ray of sunlight has been opened by this interview, Peter Whittle listens, absorbs the information takes his time and gives a thoughtful reply, not the standard BBC or current media format of forcing their thoughts. This is the beginning of challenging the rot we have in our society, we are all humans we have the same struggles and pains. Help each other.

[@Milton1079]

Thank you so much, Peter and Brendan. Absolutely fascinating.

[@BlueSkyLtd.]

Thank-you NCF! 🇬🇧

[@babslynch8139]

Excellent interview 🇬🇧❤️

[@OldButtNotDead]

Excellent series of programmes Mr Whittle, you are explaining so much, thank you.

[@MrJasnotron]

I see he is beginning to understand that the "far right" and the "far left" are the same. That's why we should stop using those terms and instead discuss authoritarian vs. freedom loving ideologies.

[@marisamartin3664]

The far left uses the term "far-right" to tar and demonize many who are merely conservatives.
