Braverman, a 43-year-old lawyer, has become a leader of the party’s populist wing by advocating ever-tougher curbs on migration and a war on human rights protections, liberal social values and what she has called the “tofu-eating wokerati.”

I am truly fascinated. So a woman, educated in law and in an age range, that puts her generation at the demise of the gerontocracy, managed to get so insane with right wing extremist bullshit and conspiracies that she had to be removed from office to be replaced by yet another political figure that is directly responsible for making the country a worse place for everyone that falls into any of these categories like her.

"wokerati" made me chuckle though, with how stupid that is. At least the final downfall of the remnants of the former British Empire are amusing to watch from the outside.

Age, gender, education etc. are all secondary to class.

She won't have to worry about her pension, or wether she'll have to work in 40°C heat, or how rents develop.
