Nigel Farage’s DOGE firebrands are already at war
Reform UK is mounting an Elon Musk-inspired bid to slash state “waste.” The fireworks have already begun.
MAIDSTONE, England — Half an hour into a Kent County Council meeting, council leader Linden Kemkaran has already taken aim at trans women in a “wig and a skirt” and migrants “invading” Britain.
This is the Garden of England — home to farmers, commuters, vineyards, seaside poverty, rich London escapees, and the beaches where tens of thousands of migrants have landed in inflatable dinghies — and it now belongs to Reform UK.

Reform councillor’s boast about removing ‘trans-ideological’ books from children’s library sections was a lie
Paul Webb said he ensured books and material were pulled from children’s section of Kent libraries, but it emerges they were never there
A boast by a Reform UK councillor that he ensured the removal of “trans-ideological material and books” from the children’s section of his county’s libraries has fallen flat after it emerged that no such material ever existed there.

Leicestershire social workers object to Reform policy they fear ‘promotes exclusion and marginalisation’
Removing these flags promotes exclusion and marginalisation – it implies people represented by those flags are not welcome
More than 100 Leicestershire social workers have spoken out against a new Reform UK policy they fear “promotes exclusion and marginalisation”. Their comments follow a decision by Reform to change which flags can fly at the Leicestershire County Council headquarters, in Glenfield.
The new policy means that community flags, such as the Pride flag and the disabled people’s flag, will not automatically be raised in the inner quadrangle at County Hall to celebrate events and celebration days. Instead, a decision will be taken by the chief executive “following consultation with the leader of the council”, the party’s Dan Harrison, over whether they can fly or not, leading some to fear they will not be flown going forward.
Some 102 social workers at the council have now written to councillors and the new Reform cabinet to “loudly” and “overwhelmingly” oppose the change in policy. They said they felt that flying community flags was a “vitally important” symbol from the council that it was “supportive of marginalised groups”.

Reform council brings in ‘British values’ flag rules
Leicestershire County Council’s new Reform leadership has scrapped the authority’s flag flying policy in its first cabinet meeting.
The move, approved at a meeting on Thursday, means a previously agreed schedule of flags to be displayed outside County Hall in Glenfield has been discontinued.
The list included flags to mark events celebrating LGBTQ+ Pride Month, Gypsy Roma and Traveller History Month and Windrush Day.
New Reform council leader Dan Harrison said the changes to flag flying protocols were “to celebrate British values that unite us all”.
Some staff groups at the council, where Reform formed a minority administration following May’s local elections, raised concerns about the move.
Harrison described the eight-minute cabinet meeting, which had only the flag flying policy on the agenda, as “historic”.

‘Posturing’: Farage’s Reform-quake so far limited to small acts of ‘war on woke’
Reform promised much to voters and now runs £8bn worth of public services. After three weeks, what has party accomplished?
When Nigel Farage held a victory lap of England after his mammoth local elections win on 1 May, he was characteristically bullish about Reform UK’s plan to shake up town halls.
[…]
Yet three weeks into power in nine of England’s cash-starved local authorities – where Reform UK now runs £8bn worth of public services – Farage’s “Reform-quake” has been limited to smaller but symbolic acts of the “war on woke”.
In Kent and Durham, councils with a combined £1bn of debt, one of Reform’s first acts was to take down the Ukrainian flag – hoisted to show solidarity with the war-besieged nation – and vowed not to fly rainbow-coloured flags in support of LGBTQ+ residents.

How about we start a "War on Fascist Arseholes"
instead of a "War on Woke" ?just a thought.

As #Canadians vote for our new Prime Minister, lest we forget how #PierrePoilievre used #RemembranceDay to denigrate activists and organizers he deemed “too woke” via his populist X account.
"What an absolute disgrace that so many woke activists & authorities used Remembrance Day to push their divisive and radical causes, denigrating our history and the brave military members who sacrificed for it," Poilievre said in a social media post Tuesday.
Divide and conquer is not a strategy that will unite #Canada against our true shared threat, fascist America and it’s war on truth.

Trump’s Anti-‘Woke’ Task Force Is Combining Sloppy Search Terms With Nearly Nonexistent Vetting
-
Pierre Poilievre already limits journalists to one question with no follow up so as to control rhe narrative and record clickbait for his fascist “X” followers.
His vitriol for left wing “radical woke” media now has him banning all press but his loyalist partisan groups.
Make no mistake, this is straight out of Trump’s playbook. Pierre will defund the #CBC while boosting right wing #RebelNews and other partisan media as our only “acceptable” Canadian news sources.
#PierrePoilievre has fully embraced the populist division of Canadians as his key winning strategy.
Those of us who continue to question his motives or intentions are soon to be ignored and banished from his palace if he is given power.
Under Poilievre’s Canada, those deemed “woke” will be targeted and discriminated against as part of Conservative policy, with no questions allowed.
This is not my Canada. This is not my Prime Minister.

Conservatives have now begun their much anticipated anti Carney attack ad campaign. Their new spicy slogan? Just like Justin. How original of them. Such creative alliteration from well paid propagandists.
Liberals and NDP should fire this same strategy back on petty Pierre Poilievre and his collaborator Conservatives.

American teachers need to resist obeying these fascist censorship orders en masse, teach every child this list of words extensively and explain why every word matters.
Make these maga authoritarians show their true vitriol by forcing them to go after those who defy them.
Show other Americans the result of disobeying Trump’s authoritarian dictatorship. Let Trump’s maga militia be the first to spill blood on the American flag over the right to free speech. After that, let the true rebellion begin.
Americans can still stop this coup by disobeying in advance. Project 2025 needs mass submission to proceed without bloodshed.
Stand up together against Trump’s dictatorship and Musk’s robber baron coup. Make them use their foot soldiers so there can be no more whitewashing of fascism in mainstream media.
Maga Neo Nazis are here, and they want to burn out “wokeism” one word at a time.
Fight them back while America still remembers what the Constitution means to the Nation it protects.
The world is watching America. Canada stands with you in resisting Trump. Let us fight together against this populist rise of fascism.

The tech billionaire war on "woke" is really a war on workers
https://www.salon.com/2025/01/17/the-tech-billionaire-on-woke-is-really-targeting-workers/
pretending it's about masculinity is a good way to distract from the mundane fact that, like a stereotypical capitalist parasite, Zuckerberg has adopted a hostile posture towards his own workers. Perhaps, like so many of the hyper-rich before him, he doesn't like being reminded that, without his staff, he would be nothing…

Are chicken sandwiches a) a tasty lunch? Or b) the ultimate symbol of gen Z wokeness?
Those waging a war on woke have turned their attentions to twentysomethings’ supposed rejection of ham and mustard sarnies. Clearly this is what people mean by bread and butter issues ...
