Blackshirt trolling?I think you will find more sense spout forth from the likes of Alan Partridge than Twitters Titania McGrath attempts to give Dailly Mail readers a good laugh.

A Twitter account, did I get this right ? There are many Alan Partridges...Alan Partridge
Quite. And is this despicable ?Titania McGrath is an invention from the libertarian Spiked crew. It spoofs and thus ridicules the language of the "woke" in support of its free speech agenda.

The Titania thing is about having a swipe at the "woke". So it is very much in line with the thinking of Trump, Lozza Fox, Oakeshott, UKIP etc etc.Who am I supposed to be angry at?
By all respect, @Minio, now you're jumping from one extreme to the other. I do indeed look down on "woke" people, and I enjoy the Tweeters and Youtubers who are making a living out of exposing the contradictions of rich sociology students who somehow think the world craves for their wisdom. But Trump etc. ? Much of this woke culture is so hypocritical and laughable that honestly I don't know how reasonably intelligent human beings can embrace it, no matter where they see themselves on the political map.So it is very much in line with the thinking of Trump, Lozza Fox, Oakeshott, UKIP etc etc.
Fair enough.In fact I consider her/him to be rather apolitical.
Certainly, but that's not his/her fault, and should the fact that some people are too dumb to grasp the intentions of the writer deter satirists from doing their important job ? No.Fair enough.
But the Trumpian sorts do like to arm themselves with such material.
Thanks for explaining the joke! I get it now, it’s really funny.By all respect, @Minio, now you're jumping from one extreme to the other.

Some anti-wokers have, admittedly, gone the alt-right way, or at least the Trump way. Scott Adams, whose Dilbert cartoons I read every day (he's good, what can you do), has greatly disappointed me with a decidedly trumpist stance.
AwakenWithJP on Youtube, a rather brilliant observer of the human mind IMO, has also expressed opinions I don't agree with - I've meanwhile stopped watching his videos. But as such I don't see anything right-wing in making fun of wokes, I guess even mildly left-oriented people can have fun at them. Making fun of spoilt kids who consider themselves morally superior to anything east of California's coastline - to the point of calling Abraham Lincoln a racist - seems very much acceptable to me, you don't need to be right-wing for that. For the time being I can't remember Titania McGrath having ever crossed that line, in fact I consider her/him to be rather apolitical.
