The dumb thing is that the proper Woke wouldn't give Bond, Ian Fleming, Sean Connery or the long list of gradual more tedious films the time of day! The Islington crowd won't have read any Fleming, won't have enjoyed any of the films, won't approve of Connery, probably don't even go to the cinema any more. So who is going to be reading this rubbish? It sounds like an essay from an undergrad hoping to get a job at the Guardian!

The Fleming estate should have left Bond alone - he's basically an historical character and it was a shame they kept updating his environment. It's like trying to modernise Bertie Wooster! It would be much better to write a totally new character who pointlessly works for the pointless British secret service. Then he/she/it could have been as woke and dull and offended as they wanted!
