by Morgan, Piers.
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: London : HarperCollinsPublishers, 2020Description: 320 pages ; 24 cm.ISBN: 9780008392598 (hbk.) :; 0008392595 (hbk.) :.Classification number: 302.231 MORSubject(s): Internet and activism -- Great Britain | Freedom of speech -- Great Britain | National characteristics, British | Fairness | COVID-19 (Disease) -- Social aspects -- Great Britain | Media Studies | Media Studies | Great Britain -- Social life and customs -- 21st centurySummary: Piers has long been unashamedly vocal about the fundamental problems we face as a society, which only became clearer in the midst of the pandemic. Yet just as Coronavirus exposed our flaws, it also showcased our strengths. We saw selfless bravery in the heroic efforts of our health-care staff while thousands flocked to parks for picnics. As stockpilers revealed our extraordinary levels of self-interest, we also witnessed inspiring, noble acts from members of the public such as Captain Tom Moore. And all the while, the outraged woke brigade continued to take to Twitter, shutting down debate on important issues like gender, racism and feminism. 'Wake Up' is Piers' rallying cry for a united future. He makes the case that a new type of 'liberalism' has emerged that is not only fundamentally illiberal, but also deeply flawed.
