AI would have happily answer you though, at the moment anyway. Meh, might as well make the most of it until then.0

one of us is missing the point but she has written an entire book on the perils of wokeism for kids so she is well aware of what it is.focuszing723 said:

As the question was asked by an African American my guess is she did not want to admit that she had written an entire book on the perils of teaching kids in America to be "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination" or "to be aware or well informed in a political or cultural sense"0 -
OK I asked chatgpt:"Can you tell me what woke means?"
"Certainly! "Woke" is a term that originated in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and has since become more widely used in mainstream culture. In its original context, "woke" was used to describe someone who was aware of and actively fighting against systemic oppression and racism, particularly against Black people.
More broadly, "woke" has come to represent an awareness and understanding of social justice issues, particularly those related to race, gender, sexuality, and other forms of marginalization. It is often used to describe people who are actively working to dismantle these forms of oppression and to create a more equitable society.
In recent years, the term "woke" has also been used more broadly to describe anyone who is politically or socially aware and engaged, regardless of their specific beliefs or causes."- Genesis Croix de Fer

judging by her bookshelves she is the author of a book about the horrors of woke so she would have livd and breathed this subject for at least a year. This is the equivalent of asking somebody who says they are a Man Utd fan what sport they play.focuszing723 said:

Below is a precis of her book.
The Left is waging an all-out battle on the American family, particularly the youngest members. If they can make our children miserable, lead them to question every building block of society, and rebuild their entire concept of reality, then the Left and their woke indoctrinators will consider that a victory.
But we can't let them win.
As concerned parents and American citizens, we have to understand what' truly going on before we can do something about it. Stolen Youth provides an urgent deep dive into issues surrounding the current woke indoctrination happening in politics, education, medicine, mental health, entertainment, and culture.
These issues may seem subtle, insidious, and hard to make sense of, but armed with the information provided in this book, we now have a framework from which to fight. While we may simply be trying to parent our children well and create a healthy and happy home environment, this is no longer enough.
We must now go on the offense to protect our kids, and this book sheds a bright light on the reason why. We can no longer afford to stay ignorant. Our children's lives and the survival of our families are at stake.

I'm struggling to understand why being a mum of six provides any sort of explanation why you would be unable to articulate your supposed specialist subject. It seems a bit offensive to mothers to suggest having children makes you a inarticulate. As SC says if you've written books on a subject you should easily be able to explain what that subject is.focuszing723 said:0 -

You'll be pleased to hear I got the train and got a lift in from Huntingdon where I was staying. Only problem is there don't seem to be any decent pubs near The Junction.
FWIW I am literally a 10 minute walk from there. I saw my first ever gig there - in the old Junction before it was redeveloped.
Cooper temple clause. Pretty sure to this day that gig damaged my hearing - had tinnitus for weeks - and my overriding memory as a 14 year old was a man barging inbetween me and my mate half way through, snorting the biggest load of coke, screaming, and then charging off.
Was a proper crack-den back in the day.0 -

We ended up sitting in the steak house which is just near the entrance and had a beer at the bar as we got there a bit early.rick_chasey said:

Not a bad little venue, though my ears were ringing a bit as you're never far from the stage. If they crank the sound up too much like they did when I went to see The Buzzcocks there a few years back then yep I can understand what happened to your ears. Definitely not as seedy as you remember it though."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
