“I’ve been told off in the tea room for referring to ‘my wife’ because that’s ‘possessive’. By a Conservative MP, actually. But that’s the state of the world.”

The British Conservatives are not pretending to be PC. They are true believers.
ReplyDeleteYes. That's a point I've been pushing for a while. In the Anglosphere at least the Cultural Revolution has become much more extreme when the mainstream right-wing parties are in office. And it's not that these right-wing parties are weak on social issues - they are actively and aggressively pushing extreme social liberalism.
Social conservatives who vote for these mainstream right-wing parties are severely delusional.
