Review: The End of Woke by Andrew Doyle
Renowned grifter Andrew Doyle has written another “book” called The End of Woke. It’s the most repugnant piece of tripe ever to reach the printing press. It’s ignorant, ill-formed and offensive in the extreme. I have absolutely no intention of reading it.
Not content with his previous fascist manual Free Speech and Why It Matters, Doyle in his new book challenges ideological dogma on both the left and the right. It is laughable that he believes that anyone would be interested in such an approach. Imagine being so insecure in your belief-system that you would be open to persuasion and debate.
Doyle is a reactionary monster with a sub-zero IQ, one who is so unenlightened that he does not seem to realise that “liberal values” and “free speech” are Nazi dog-whistles. Having skim-read the blurb of The End of Woke, I’ve gleaned that Doyle supports outmoded and frankly immature notions such as “tolerance” and “liberty”. And he has a head like a cube (see above).
It was to be expected that bigots would approve of this book. The “comedian” Jimmy Carr called it “thought-provoking and entertaining”. The white male author Michael Shermer said it was “a magisterial read”. And that evil cisgender demon Julie Bindel wrote in The Critic that it was “the best work yet by the creator of genius parody Titania McGrath”.
Julie Bindel was attempting to erase my existence by claiming that he had ‘invented’ me
Not content with praising this lowlife’s scribblings, she was attempting to erase my existence by claiming that he had “invented” me. And she calls herself a feminist.
Thankfully, The Critic also published a scathing review of The End of Woke by Henry George, a conservative writer who has accidentally got it right for once. George attacks Doyle’s book for neglecting the ideological origins of wokeness. Even though virtually every page emphasises the ideological origins of wokeness, George’s lived experience of the book is far more important than its actual contents.
So let’s be clear about what needs to happen. The End of Woke should be banned. Doyle should be arrested and imprisoned. And I would urge you to buy his book, so we can burn as many copies as possible. That’ll teach him.
