A few quick thoughts as the right-wing press and UK government ramps up its attacks on peaceful campaign group @StopFundingHate:

1. GB News has proudly set itself up as being 'anti-woke'. That's its supposed USP. This immediately and deliberately causes divisions and antagonism 2. As we all know 'woke' is used by the right-wing press as a pejorative term. If you campaign for racial equality, the rights of the LGBTQ+ community, environmental policy change, social justice of any kind, then you are supposedly 'woke'.

And GB News is against you and that.

Extinction Rebellion are branded as "extremists" and an "eco-mob". Its coverage of Greta Thunberg has been relentlessly negative
