"GB News host Martin Daubney, who was a Brexit Party member, has warned the "nonsense wokerati" to "keep their inclusive beaks out of our Christmas festivities" after schools across the UK changed the name of the fundraiser. The journalist, who in 2007 led a " straight pride " through central London, questioned: "Is nothing safe from the wokerati?" He went on to claim that only "Christian festivities and Christian events" get "this kind of nonsensical wokerati interference". "Everywhere you go, it's not appropriate to mention Christ. It's a festival about the birth of Jesus," he added."
"Comments under GB News' article feature countless anti-woke opinions, including one person claiming that the change in name has been made in a bid to erase "Christian heritage". 'Absolutely disgusting' '"Winter Jumper Day' Translation: Christmas Jumper Day but with the Christianity removed so nobody's feelings get hurt. Merry Christmas everyone - sorry, I mean Happy Inclusive Festive Period,' another comment read. "More exclusive to certain religions you mean, not inclusive," another comment read, while one person questioned: "How is it more inclusive by excluding something?" Another exclaimed: "Erasing a perfectly harmless tradition to appease the minorities imaginary offence. Absolutely disgusting!""
Many schools across the UK, including Devonshire Hill Nursery and Primary School in Tottenham, have renamed Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day as "Winter Jumper Day" to promote inclusivity. Right-wing media and anti-woke commentators branded the change "woke" and mounted criticism. GB News host Martin Daubney warned the "nonsense wokerati" to "keep their inclusive beaks out of our Christmas festivities" and claimed Christians face interference. Online comment sections filled with complaints alleging erasure of Christian heritage, mocking the renamed event as an attempt to avoid mentioning Christ, and calling the move discriminatory and "absolutely disgusting".
