National Trust Admits 70% of Staff are Anti-British Woke Activists. Calendar Excludes Christianity

Seventy per cent of National Trust staff are “progressive activists”, the charity’s director-general has admitted. Speaking at a Labour Party fringe event run by More in Common, Hilary McGrady also revealed the views of her staff risk putting the National Trust at odds with the wider public. More in Common’s research revealed only 22 per cent of “progressive activists” are proud of being British, significantly lower than the 59 per cent national average. There is also a huge discrepancy between the group’s stance on immigration and climate change. Eighty-five per cent of “progressive activists” believe immigration has had a positive impact on the UK, with the national average slumping to 43 per cent. The proportion who are “extremely worried” about climate change stands at 72 per cent but just a third of British respondents share similar fears about the environmental crisis. Discussing the views of “progressive activists”, More in Common’s executive director Luke Tryl said: “Progressive activists do tend to be outliers. When you ask the public, ‘when you see the British flag flying, how does it make you feel?’ “Every other segment, including segments that were a core part of Labour’s base, civic pragmatists, which is sort of the soft left, disengaged battlers, which is urban and economically insecure, they said they feel good about it. Progressive activists are outliers on that.” Our Senior Fellow Rafe Heydel-Mankoo discusses on GB News.
