Well this is certainly a surprising new topic for right-wingers to get in a lather about, but it appears that the fact that people aren’t eating as much turkey as they used to at Christmas is ‘utter woke nonsense’.
According to a report in The Times newspaper, this year will be the first in history where the majority of Britons won’t be having turkey for their Christmas Dinner, and it’s just all too much for some people to take.
Step forward the senior political correspondent of the Daily Express, Christian Calgie, who is absolutely raging at this fact and hopes that if Reform UK take power in the next election they will address this as an urgent priority.
Let’s have a look at his rather unhinged Tweet.
Times story today that this Christmas is set to be the first one in history where a majority of Britons don’t eat turkey for lunch.
Utter woke nonsense. Sincerely hope Reform’s next manifesto addresses this crisis.

His follow-up post suggested he might not have been entirely serious.
It was too late. His reputation for not being funny had gone before him.

I imagine the medieval people who used to eat a boars head at Christmas called the people who started eating goose woke too.

You’re a moron. I’ve had Roast Beef, Pork, Goose, and just chicken, and one time homemade (by yours truly) lasange on Christmas Day. That’s “woke” is it?

Address it how? Forced turkey consumption on Christmas Day?

Absolute nonsense! It’s not even the traditional bird to be eaten in England as it wasn’t made popular and economically more viable for UK families until after the war.
Before that it was duck or goose for most.

Nope, you win, I give up.
I can’t tell if this is parody/sarcasm or if you are serious.
Sad state of affairs that we have reached this point.

In history…? When turkeys aren’t even remotely native to Britain?

What next?
All births to be arranged in a manger?
All presents must be gold, frankincense or myrrh?
Everyone must welcome kings and shepherds in for lunch?— P (@runningpaul) November 15, 2025

First time in history? First time since the 6th century?
Or do they mean since the 1950’s when it became popular?

Ok the anti ‘woke’ obsession has now lost its proverbial marbles. It’s not an act of Christian devotion to eat turkey on Christmas Day. Some people just don’t like or can’t afford turkey. Just like some people can’t abide brussel sprouts. https://t.co/pAIwdNMKwt

“What you in for?”
“Murdered like 20 people, you?”
“Ate chicken instead of turkey for my christmas dinner” https://t.co/J6n5UvyYg5— θ∆ Violet️⚧️️ (@PAWFR3AK_) November 15, 2025
Steeeve summed up the problem.
I’m assuming this post is in jest but given most people on Twitter are raging about “woke” these days I can’t tell. https://t.co/23jG6lxVUI
