Titania McGrath's "Woke: A Guide to Social Justice" made me weep with laughter

Why should you read it? Titania McGrath explains early on in the book:

"Activists such as myself are spearheading a new culture war, sniffing out prejudice like valiant bloodhounds of righteousness, courageously snapping at the heels of injustice. To give a tangible example of our achievements, consider how the definition of the word 'Nazi' has been successfully broadened to include anyone who voted for Brexit, has ever considered supporting the Conservative Party or who refuses to take the Guardian seriously. Although this is a great victory for the progressive cause, it does mean that there are now more Nazis living in modern Britain than even existed in 1930s Germany. This makes Woke: A Guide to Social Justice not only timely but essential."

RIP Rick Hall: "Land of 1000 Dances", the Muscle Shoals FAME studio and the great '60s music racial melting pot"

Despite its title, "Land of 1,000 Dances" started out as a fairly gentle-paced gospel call-and-response-style chugger written and recorded in New Orleans in 1962 by the talented black New Orleans singer-songwriter, Chris Kenner, whose career was destroyed by chronic alcoholism and a three-year prison spell for statutory rape in 1968. The song was a middle-rank hit:

Okay, it's The Guardian - what did you expect? Common  sense? Rationality? Respect for the vast majority of people who don't share their bizarre views? Of course not - you expect its writers to support any proposal, no matter how deranged, whose sole purpose is to upset anyone who doesn't read the Guardian, work for the BBC, go on demos, doesn't think all white people are racist, doesn't despise Judeo-Christian culture and doesn't hate this country, its people, its traditions and its history. I've tried my best not to swallow the bait...

White people using black emojis is a burning issue, apparently

I may owe Tommy Robinson an apology

As a right-wing conservative, I resent parties of the so-called Far Right, because, since the 1930s, they've been used by the Left to give people like me a bad name. This, the Guardian columnist or the Labour MP proclaim, pointing to, for instance, the BNP or the National Front or whoever, is what right-wing conservatives really believe (much as people like me are only too ready to accuse soft-left Labourites of being Trotskyist agitators at heart - a harder charge for them to dismiss, given their increasing participation in a Corbyn-led Labour Party). I resent being called far right or fascist, because I don't agree with most of their policies, I am philo-Semitic, and I don't see deliberate street violence as a legitimate form of protest in a democratic country. Far Right parties have far more in common with the totalitarian Left that with right-wing conservatives: if I were an extremist (which I'm not), I'd more likely be a freedom-loving, gun-toting libertarian, happy for people to go to hell in their own handcart as long as I didn't have to pick up the tab for their recklessness, weakness, selfishness and stupidity...
