Few will be surprised to learn that an organisation funded by the British taxpayer once issued a 'non-discriminatory' language guide that urged its staff not to refer to 'Brits', or use the phrase 'the Queen's English'. The reason the latter was 'problematic', we were told, was that 'it implies that these varieties of English are more correct or of greater importance than others'.
What may have come as a shock, though, is that the document - which could be called 'How To Speak Woke-ish' - was
produced by the British Council, whose purpose is to promote Britain's values and culture across the world. Not only does it have a
budget of £1.2 billion a year and employ 7,000 people, but it received a Royal Charter in 1940 - and its patron is
Her Majesty the Queen.It seems this public body, like so many others, has succumbed to the
anti-patriotic self-loathing that is so prevalent among the Brexit-hating metropolitan elite.
Once a vehicle
for the projection of soft power, celebrating the pinnacles of British culture like the plays of Shakespeare and the music of Elgar,
it has become infected by what the late philosopher Roger Scruton called 'oikophobia' - the repudiation of one's own culture and the glorification of others.
Comment: Mass migration has been a serious issue in Europe for well over a decade, in large part because of the West's illegal wars on Africa and the Middle East, soon this situation will combine with global famine conditions - and possibly spill over from the West's war in Ukraine - which mean it's that scenes such as those above will only get many, many times worse.
