It's very funny that the Right have now worn out 'woke' from purposefully making it mean anything and nothing, to such an extent, they are now bored with doing it, and so want to rename 'woke' itself.
In her talk, Shriver goes on about her usual hits - the "flouncing" Left, anti-"transgenderism", anti-Palestinians - but also this line at the bottom is another worth a wry smile, being a rare bit of self-reflection.
Lionel Shriver plays hate bingo
With a book to peddle she is after publicity and has let rip with some gammon bait for a bit of free press coverage. What other hate tropes can she add to her collection?
Pandering to the gammon munching moanerati is proving to be very easy for her.
