Theresa May: Britain’s first - and last - woke prime minister

[IwantToRetire]

Mrs May—now Lady May—was Britain’s first and probably last woke prime minister. It is a strain to accept this, at first. The thought makes both her allies and enemies wince. The mp who in 2000 voted against the repeal of Section 28, which forbade the “promotion” (or rather acceptance) of homosexuality in schools? The authoritarian home secretary, rigidly in favour of the Conservatives’ attempts to reduce immigration at any cost? The prime minister who railed against “citizens of nowhere”? How can Mrs May, a creature of curtain-twitching suburban England, be woke?

Nicola Sturgeon also voted against section 28 - didn’t think Scotland was ready for it! Then went on to put rapists in women’s prisons, mixed sex everything. Rather like TM.

Boris Johnson wasn't woke? C'mon!
He was an advocate of open borders (1.5-2m in the Boriswave) and blanket amnesties on illegals, had no issue with Taking The Knee, was very close to May re gender self ID.
Carrie certainly educated him, and had he stayed in office, much of what May championed would have been good by him.
