À propos de cet audio

The Sunday Times Number One Bestseller

It’s time we get back to common sense.
It’s time to cancel the cancel culture.
It’s time to Wake Up.

If, like me, you’re sick and tired of being told how to think, speak, eat and behave, then this book is for you.

If, like me, you think the world’s going absolutely nuts, then this book is for you.

If, like me, you think NHS heroes and Captain Tom are the real stars of our society, not self-obsessed tone-deaf celebrities (and royal renegades!), then this book is for you. If, like me, you’re sickened by the cancel culture bullies destroying people’s careers and lives, then this book is for you. From feminism to masculinity, racism to gender, body image to veganism, mental health to competitiveness at school, the right to free speech and expressing an honestly held opinion is being crushed at the altar of ‘woke’ political correctness.

In 2020, the world faced its biggest crisis in a generation: a global pandemic. In the UK, it exposed deep divisions within society and laid bare a toxic culture war that had been raging beneath the surface. From the outset, Piers Morgan urged the nation to come to its senses, once and for all, and held the Government to often ferocious account over its handling of the crisis.

COVID-19 shed shocking light on the problems that plague our country. Stockpilers and lockdown-cheats revealed our grotesque levels of self-interest and the virtue-signalling woke brigade continued their furious assault on free speech, shutting down debate on important issues like gender, racism and feminism. Yet just as coronavirus exposed our flaws, it also showcased our strengths. We saw selfless bravery in the heroic efforts of our healthcare staff. A greater appreciation of migrant workers. A return of local community spirit. And inspiring, noble acts from members of the public such as Captain Sir Tom Moore.

Wake Up is Piers’ rallying cry for a united future in which we reconsider what really matters in life. It is a plea for the return of true liberalism, where freedom of speech is king. Most of all, it is a powerful account of how the world finally started to wake up, and why it mustn’t go back to sleep again.

We should indeed Wake Up

This is the first book I have ever listened to and it was a blast - I enjoyed it so much I am going to buy the hard copy. Piers , for all the faults he may have according to the ‘wokies’ ,is just as acerbic and unrelenting in his criticism whether you’re on the left or the right.
I especially enjoyed the chapters on Justin Trudeau and John Legend and the other hypocritical wokies and their cancel culture madness.
A real fun and easy book to listen to .

An argument for common sense

I haven’t always agreed with the author, but this book is a great commentary on modern day concepts of what is or is not “politically correct”.

I enjoyed the book, which I purchased in audio form. Mr. Morgan gives a lively presentation and I was kept interested as the book moved along.

Too much spew....

generally enjoyed Piers during his US TV days. thought the concept of the book was good so thought I'd hear his take....by about March I was getting agitated and I am now at May and have had enough....the same bitter venom he blames others for spewing comes out in spades when he describes those that he disagrees with. I bought the book to hear the stories of a world gone crazy, not to hear his angry, virtuous opinion of the people involved.
