' “depthless virtue signalling” (the Telegraph), a “charge sheet and a hit list” (the Spectator), “one of the most intellectually fraudulent documents I’ve ever read” (the Daily Mail)'

As to the meaningless 'woke', that word is simply used to keep suckers suckered.
So GB News obviously gets a plug at the end.

‘Woke’ is meaningless, says the National Trust’s communications lead'​

Sounds about right.

A 'woke' person is the new far right enemy. Basically woke is anyone who gives a chit.
They need a word, the 'N' word being arrestable. So 'farking woke' it has to be.

Woke is the new 'political correctness gone mad'.

Smile if you're glad to be woke!!

The real Nazi's are forever complaining.

'Tally Ho.'
Over 70% trust members voted in favour of vegan food. None story as ever, it was a vote for only 50% of produce to be vegetarian.
I suspect they just wanted the visible negative headline, again.

I had a bacon sandwich this morning. About 50% plant based.

Funny how the NT seems to attract extreme people like this stuff


Last time I got interested in stuff like their policies is was when I lived in North Wales - very close to Penrhyn Castle and the local grapevine was going around about some policies that would have been very much classed a woke

Basically it was all to do with climate change

The new policies that "they" wanted implementing were things like closing off all the car parks in NT properties - including those for staff and volunteers - because people should use public transport and bikes and walking - to get to the properties.
Thus meaning that xxx tons of CO2 would be saved by cutting the car journeys

It was of course rubbish and the logic used was just stupid

but they do seem to attract people who go for the extreme and don't believe that a middle more reasonable might just work better
in the case recently - use the buildings to educate people and show the true source of the funds that the family used to build it
as well as the other things they used the money to do that may have been more moral by modern thinking

Private Eye has been covering it for a while. There seems to be a right wing nutjob group trying to take over the National Trust. They keep failing.

The National Trust was also against hunting and so, just like the RSPCA, they became a target from our establishment owners.
Farage , Trump and most of the right get much their financial support from big oil so everyone, including the National Trust has to simply drown.

How is that extreme? Of course we should travel there not by 1/2-person car, and there should be plans to gradually close the car parks and expand cycle parks and encourage bus service, but it's not going to all happen overnight. There still need to be plans to do it and action because inaction is an awful path to take. Too many NT properties are contributing too much pollution and climate change for their own good. Some near me have been damaged by storms and floods, while some had close calls with the wildfires earlier this decade. If the modern car-encouraging is left in place, lots of NT sites will suffer.
