While not pretending in any way to be a fully signed-up fan, that Bob Dylan song ‘The Times They Are A Changing’ came to mind the other day as I was singing in the shower.
And there was me thinking that racist cunts and history whitewashers were too snowflake to face the plain truth. Bloody National Trust fomenting culture wars.
The National Trust has needlessly provoked an ‘anti-woke’ campaign

A record number of new members have joined the National Trust this summer despite claims by “anti-woke” critics that it is losing support....(My bold)
...In an attempt to influence the National Trust’s leadership, Restore Trust, which says it represents more than 6,100 current and former members, has used funding from anonymous donors to campaign for six candidates that the group believes reflects its views, out of a total of 46 nominations for the governing council. Five of the six are understood to have dissociated themselves from Restore Trust’s backing, except Stephen Green, a prominent Christian fundamentalist...
...The National Trust said that typically just 1-2% of more than 5.5 million members vote in its AGMs. However, members have posted on Twitter to say they were moved to vote for the first time this year and ask others to consider doing so.
One member wrote: “Can I ask you to please vote in the upcoming AGM? I’m doing so for the first time in 40 years of membership because I want to support an inclusive and welcoming NT against reactionary attacks.”
A 2020 survey of National Trust members found that 76% thought the charity should do more to educate visitors on the legacy of colonialism and slavery.

Suggestive references to Ladies' underwear, eg winter draws on.
National Trust members have voted to ban trail hunting amid fears it is being used as a “smokescreen” for chasing and killing foxes....If National Trust members, still widely perceived as being middle class, middle England conservatives (both upper and lower case "c"),can keep surprising me like this, there may be some hope for this country yet.

Along with widespread naivety. Julian and Sandy weren’t exactly subtle.

John Lewis, National Trust, RNLI, England football team and Doctor Who aren’t going to produce a Trumpian insurrection. The only thing Farage likes about this country is golf. And he waves the EU flag when we play the Yanks.

Of course steams trains themselves are not racist, but according to Critical Race Theory, all white people are inherently rascist. Therefore the newly enlightened "woke" generation sees everything, including the invention and use of the steam engine, as facilitating this.
Adults should stop mocking young people by calling them "woke" for standing up for things they believe in, says a leading head teacher.
