To the world of Mail Online now, where the paper has got itself into quite the froth over the suggestion that builders in the UK don’t live up to the stereotype presumably ingrained at Daily Mail Towers.
Not only that, they’ve ‘gone WOKE’ – their caps not ours, obviously. And this is why.
Here’s a little bit of what the article says just in case you can’t bring yourself to click through.
‘Forget the stereotype that builders are wolf-whistling white van men devouring greasy-spoon breakfasts and discussing sport as radios blare out inane pop music.
‘Instead, modern tradesmen are sensitive souls more likely to enjoy yoga, muesli, listening to Radio 4 and sharing their feelings, a survey has found. In a poll of 2,000 builders, three quarters said they regularly discussed emotions with colleagues; two-thirds shun fried breakfasts; and one in five is an art-lover.’
And these are surely the only 11 responses you need.

Wow. Misusing the word ‘woke’, contributing to stigma around men’s emotional and mental health and denigrating learning/academia ALL IN ONE HEADLINE (that’s before we even start on the fried breakfast thing). The writer of this must be so proud. pic.twitter.com/L0B2J2KCpL

Construction workers had the highest male occupation morality rate from suicide between 2011 and 2015, so if discussing feelings is ‘woke’ then this seems like a very good and important thing pic.twitter.com/ThdOQIMIf3

How dare working people educate themselves and choose healthier lifestyles. They’ll be selling their whippets, forgoing flat caps and not looking up to the upper classes next. pic.twitter.com/7ZnyaLuhvC

In my day builders had a fry up every day to get their arteries good and furry before having a massive coronary at 52 brought on by impacted emotion, and also their knowledge of repeal of Corn Laws was sorely lacking. pic.twitter.com/lozshqX2cC

If the people that built our homes were less emotional, ate sausages and hated black or brown people we’d be such a better country. pic.twitter.com/lZqTcH2hdr

lads, is it gay to not butcher your own cow every morning while denying you feel emotions and screaming ‘HISTORY MATE? I CAN’T EVEN REMEMBER MY OWN NAME HA HA’ pic.twitter.com/fRDq8TqRyM

Even Mail Online readers were on to it, pointed out @otto_english, and that’s surely saying something.
