I had no idea. I was speaking at a festival in 2018. And I just talked about me. And I could tell she'd never met anyone like me before.

Yeah, we were on the panel and she couldn't out black me. I was like, look, I come from like the place where all the black people come from. This is not what we're like. People have different political views. They have different identities. And she was trying to squeeze people into this sort of minority identity. And I kept challenging her. And at the end of it,

At the end of the panel, she came over to me and told me that I was disrespectful. And I said, why am I disrespectful? She said, you haven't you haven't read my books and you shouldn't talk about these things until you've read my books. What a load of nonsense. You know, you can write a book about astrology. Doesn't mean the horoscopes are real.

Like just this writing rubbish and thinking that because you've written a book, it's it's fine. And I was very pleased that I took such a hard line. at the time, because I think maybe if I'd known who she was, I might have been in a different mindset and thought, oh, well, you know, let me give her some space. But I didn't. And I was just very honest. And she got a lot of facts wrong as well.

Loads and loads of terrible facts. So I am an enemy of critical race theory. It is not real equality. It is not even promoting the well-being of minorities. It is a way for the left to exploit minorities in order to do the thing they always want to do, which is the same socialism, Marxism, fighting the right. And it kills people. It destroys lives.

Yeah, it is. It's just identity politics. You know, we can give it all these fancy names, but it is just identity politics. And human beings will always form tribes. So society and the leadership, the political leadership, has to work hard to make sure that the tribe is the nation, not all these different groups. What word should we use instead of woke? I don't know. My word isn't catchy.

What is it? I thought progressive authoritarianism. It hasn't caught on. It has not caught on. I've done my best. It's just not snappy enough. Woke is very snappy.
