Today’s aggregated news behind the news, updated throughout the day.

Storming the beaches of the Culture War, covering the latest Woke Supremacy, Mass Formation Psychosis, Big Brother and other items.

Featuring occasional commentary from our in-house writers.



Kind of related. And I believe Marks and Spencer are on there already, but please check out our Woke Corp. Watch section here – BrandX. 


You know, I would feel inclined to be sympathetic for this person. Seems that the barbers could be more accommodating and may have kind of given bad service here. But then thinking deeper, and doing further reading down the article, we see some red flags. Let’s just say my B.S. detector is getting tripped…

“Since transitioning, things haven’t been the easiest to talk about or anything like that”.

So it’s not easy to talk about… err except to the national media of course. Sorry but this wreaks of disingenuity now.

Next your inclination to seek attention will expose itself… oops too late:

“I felt disgusted being treated like I didn’t even matter”

Seems very much like another Mass Formation Psycho, jumping on the trans-trender bandwagon, looking for extra pampering, mollycoddling, pedestalisation, protection and celebration. Sorry bro, life doesn’t give you this, even at the barbers. As a ‘man’ you should know this.

So call me cynical, but I am skeptical. I’m thinking this person is a trouble maker, first and foremost – BrandX. 




My only question is whether or not sick bags will be handed out on the day, or whether you have to bring your own – BrandX. 




I think the UK based Free Speech Union nailed it… 

“Classic works of children’s literature should not be rewritten to make them more politically correct.

They are of their time and teaching children that previous generations thought differently to them is a more valuable lesson than shoehorning in woke platitudes about gender equality.”

A bit of extra info. The full headline is ‘Enid Blyton classic gets a woke rewrite to give a lesson on sexism: Jacqueline Wilson pens new version of The Magic Faraway Tree and removes ‘sexist expectations’ of female characters’. Additional details below:

– The Magic Faraway Tree is being changed by the Tracy Beaker author for 2022

– The book will still see siblings Milo, Mia and Birdy head to the enchanted wood

– But comments from magical creatures will see them taught on gender equality

– Free speech campaigners say it should not be changed to be ‘politically correct’


And for our next silly headline… – BrandX.
