National Trust boss denies that the organisation has become 'woke'

 

The boss of the National Trust has denied that the organisation has become ‘woke’ and said she has received death threats.

The director-general also denies the Trust is ‘dumbing down’ and turning its properties into ‘kiddies’ theme parks’.

The Trust triggered a backlash when it commissioned a report to tell the history of slavery in connection with the historic properties it manages.

McGrady said: ‘It’s such a ridiculous term, wokery. No one has yet defined what they mean by woke. 

'I’m interested in bringing nature, beauty and history to the nation, and I don’t even know what “woke” means in that context.’
