She was pursued by an outraged mob, denounced in Parliament and never published in that paper – or any other – for many years. Welcome To The Woke Trials is part-memoir and part-indictment of what happened to her between then and now, as the regiments of woke took over; an irreverent and entertaining analysis of the key elements of a continuing and disturbing phenomenon. Raised in a communist household and a lifelong Labour voter, Burchill also makes the case for a progressive future politics, a time when we see ourselves as a common humanity with similar hopes and visions – rather than a childish world of villains and victims.
