In some circles overthehill there is no worse crime than being "woke". Any objection to racist or rude comments is simply because you are a snowflake and anyone who makes a contribution to public life must be excused any misdemeanour.
In the Scottish Parliament Willie Rennie made reference to a comment the DoE made to him once about prostate cancer which was completely out of bounds, IMO, but Rennie thought it was just him being him.
Eventually we will be able to praise the good he did but also be able to say that he was a man whose attitudes and actions embodied his generation, for good and bad.
