[@forthfarean]

Woke is actually derived from the Frankfurt School and critical theory. It is all rooted in Marxism. The police that went round to see the journalist were probably allocated the job at the start of shift briefing a day or so before they went. They probably chose Sunday because there isn’t much going on on a Sunday morning. But the supervisor should know better and the Constables are able and allowed to query what they are being told to do. They hold the office of Constable in their own right and cannot be forced to do anything that is unlawful or immoral, they are allowed to think about what is required of them , it is not like the army. The chief Constable has the right and ability to investigate a Constable if he believes his actions in his office of Constable are wrong. PS . You are right that fascism is a branch of, or of the genus of , Marxism and Socialism and ideas that influenced Marx , like Hegel.
