Oliver Dowden gives speech to rightwing US thinktank decrying ‘cancel culture’
The Tory chairman has denounced what he claims is a “painful woke psychodrama” sweeping the west and sapping its confidence, arguing that people should not be “obsessing” over pronouns or “trying to decolonise” maths.
Oliver Dowden, a senior Conservative and former culture secretary, made the remarks on “cancel culture” in a speech to the Heritage Foundation, a rightwing US thinktank.
