I know everyone wants to lighten up a little - I'm sure some of you will enjoy this

THE South Yorkshire town of Cleckburton used to be a thriving industrial hub. Today its shops are boarded up and there are no jobs, hopes or prospects for its inhabitants.

The reason? The onslaught of wokeness, a process which began in the late 1970s and has since laid waste to the town.

Longtime resident Roy Hobbs said: “Back in the day this was a lovely place. People looked out for each other, chatted over their back fences and were casually racist about anyone not born within a ten-mile radius of the market square.

“And now it’s dead. My dad told me that it was the result of de-industrialisation and a lack of investment in the North by successive governments but it turns out he was wrong because the Daily Mail says it’s all down to wokeness.

What is the link to sex and gender discussion?

Whilst they think they're being funny about the Conservatives, the Daily Mash is just promoting the same old view held by most of the elite that Northern people are racist idiots.

Unsurprisingly the demographic of the readership is quite well-off. Seems rather elitist humour.
