And I always temper this kind of part of a discussion about woke-ism by saying when woke-ism originally began back in the 60s in America, it came out of music, actually, and it was a clarion call for people to be more aware of social and racial injustice. By that criteria alone, I'm woke, happy to be woke.

It's just the way it's been hijacked in the last 10 years by what I call – I call them fascists. They hate it because they hate fascists.

But I say, do you not understand that when you operate on a principle of cancel culture, of virtue signaling, of fact-devoid bullshit about things like supporting trans athletes in women's sport to the point where it just destroys the integrity of women's sport irrevocably, when you pound those drums, actually you're behaving like a fascist.

where you want people to think like you, to act like you, to speak like you, to have the same values, to have the same principles, to have the same heroes, to read the same books, to watch the same movies, to laugh at the same jokes. And if you deviate, we're going to destroy you. That's fascism, actually. And they don't seem to either understand that or they're in denial.

But this election's a big wake-up call because I think this election was you had Kamala Harris, progressive, pretty far-left progressive throughout her entire political career, desperately trying to move to the centre when she became the nominee. But it was all too late because the receipts were there.

And the receipts were used against her, memorably in that trans ad that the Trump campaign did, which they reckon moved the needle by up to three points, where it simply ended with, Kamala Harris is for they, them. Donald Trump is for you. That was very simple, but very effective. Because actually, personal pronouns are bullshit. And we all kind of know they're bullshit.

I think the concepts are dead. The actual execution of the death may take some time. But I do think that if it wasn't dead, you'd have seen a massive victory for a progressive far-left candidate in Kamala Harris, who pretended she wasn't, but actually is to her bootstraps. And she got wiped out. And I think that that's an indication of three things. One, Americans trusted
