They are there in our midst, the poor, the hungry, the desolate, and totally forgotten. We ignore them to our peril, and they will arise, getting up from the floor, ready
to turf us out of existence.
As for The Guardian, it can dismiss the woke people and hire new writers, returning to its irreverent roots.
