Good grief, how much more delusional can people be? How can so many supposedly intelligent people be so caught up in their own self righteousness that they fail to see the mountain of evidence that’s piling up around them like a coal tip? These people are a disgrace and should never get anywhere near power again. It’s time their deluded bubble was well and truly burst.
I was about to comment exactly along these lines! It's the arrogance of their denial that gets me. How narcissistic do you have to be to deny the shocking state of things. Just go and look at the data. The data from the ONS alone is enough to see how bad things are. Add on the FOI requests and there is no denying things are terrible. The delusion is off the scale. But the saddest thing for me is that the Tories and Labour have recovered a little in the polls. That 20% of the electorate is still willing to vote for the Tories and another 19% for Labour is utterly baffling, whilst Reform is down to 26% (YouGov latest). Only when we get far past the point of no return (if we're not there already) will these blinkered fools and their voters realise what's going on. The UK is finished, I truly believe it.
Exactly. Im constantly astonished at the political ignorance of so much of the population. What will it take to wake people up? And we’re sunk if they don’t wake up and vote out the uniparty.
An excellent description of why Badenoch and her merry band of wets will be annihilated at the next election. They just don’t ’get it’ as their arrogance shines through their every thought and deed. They had their chance and they blew it completely and British citizens will never forgive and forget. They took a great country with culture, traditions, morals and they turned it into this hellhole.
But will they? YouGov voting intention shows the Tories on 20% (only 3.7 percentage points down from the last election) with Labour on 19% and Reform down to 26%. So clearly the deluded electorate still thinks they aren't too bad. It's baffling.
I have voted Con for more than 65 years but no more. The Conservatives betrayed us starting with Major who came immediately after Thatcher who gave us some self respect back. Fortunately we now have another party to vote for which does espouse true conservative principles which I regards as self reliance and strong defences. What is so unforgiveable is that Conservative ineptitude and betrayal led us to this Labour government which is intent on destroying what is left of this country.
It’s difficult for people born outside of it to understand how intensely social status matters to these sorts of people. Much more than careers or money.
Here is where Blair truly was a genius - his endless smearing of conservative ideas as being beyond the social pale was deliberately designed not so much for short term electoral advantage but for converting the Tories to Blairism as the new high status option.
In short the Tories are now in a psychological trap they can never escape and are thus doomed.
What the writer does not mention is the apparent infiltration of our society by Marxism. The Tory Wets were just useful tools it seems for the spread of this ideology. To see how utterly pernicious and destructive the spread of this has been in the medical profession alone, see Dr Robert Malone's excellent article charting the history of Woke and how it was all engineered.
The two videoclips in the article are an absolute revelation: the first is of Verma demonstrating full Woke at a Senate hearing, not answering the question "Can men get pregnant?", and the second is an excellent analysis by Dr Malone of the whole phenomenon and its entrenchment in the medical profession. It is highly alarming, and to me is a very dangerous and destructive ideology.
The trans delusion is designed to enable Marxism. Gaslighting, denial of reality and the instilling of fear to anyone who questions the narrative to silence them are the hallmarks of authoritarianism and the ingredients for dictatorships to flourish. It's no coincidence that all trans activists and "trans people" are far-left and instantly talk about demolishing capitalism in order for "trans people" to thrive.
A running catalogue of decline into broken Britain, thanks Matt, Our standing on the world stage destroyed by a delusional Prime minister and the blob. A biased Civil service with their own agenda and the Home Office infiltrated by Muslims controlling the asylum system process to their advantage. Who knows, are they in league with, and being bribed by people smugglers?
Well said Henry, your sentence, “Almost everything that has gone wrong in Britain in the last thirty years or so has either been enabled or outright caused by these supposed liberal centrists” says it all. So, did they sign it off in full knowledge or were they kept in the dark by the ‘blob’? Either way, our Country is paying a heavy price for their incompetence. Never forgive and never forget what they’ve done to us. Is Britain broken? Perhaps not, but bringing 10 million extra people into a country in such a short time is putting a strain on everything we hold dear.
The writer has full understanding of the national zeitgeist. If the rump of the Conservative Party runs for the safety of the known, failing, wet politics of the past as advised by The Times pundits, they will truly consign themselves to irrelevance once and for all. This is not the time, and there is no place for, weak, complacent government. A large proportion of the population is looking for strength, decisiveness and fairness from their leaders. The concept of ‘home’ is central to this and those in politics and the media who fail to understand it deserve their oblivion.
Their pathetic ‘centre ground’ policy is the reason I left them and joined Reform. They seem unable to grasp why voters, like me, deserted them. They are just, like my useless MP, closet Lib Dem’s.
The fact that Paris is longing for the likes of Tarzan heseltine or chubby Clark (ex health minister that smoked and enjoyed anything but healthy) shows how out of touch the old queen is… no wonder they’re done!
An interesting article but when is a writer going to make the link between the UK’s steady decline into Marxism lite, starting under Blair (or maybe Major) with the growth of Fabianism in our politics. It’s incredible that apart from the occasional YouTube post from Steven Barrett, Dan Wootton and Alex Phillips, no one ever shines the light on the semi secret Fabians who dominate the Labour Party and the left wing of politics. Why is this?
Completely agree. I think it’s the boiled frog analogy. Lefty indoctrination has been decades long in the making and instead of standing up to it all, so called conservatives have allowed themselves to be ‘boiled’ and have abandoned their values for fear of being thought of as nasty. It would be really useful for the Fabian/ Frankfurt School strategy to be broadcast widely particularly when you combine it with what Islamic ideology is doing. People might start to wake up….but that would require a media which wasn’t itself indoctrinated. It’s a conundrum.
I don’t know why Matt never speaks about Fabians. He must fear and loathe them as much as the rest of us but I can’t recall him ever writing about them. As you say our MSM never mention them not even Patrick Cristys or Ben Leo who seem prepared to say what’s on their minds on GBNews. That leaves Dan Wootton and Alex Phillips on the fringes.
He is so wet that he should have dissolved by now!
I remember when he was
in government he opposed doing anything concrete about immigration, continually undermining any policy which attempted to control it by using spurious legal arguments.
Bleeting about how great the EU is etc., etc.,
He and David Gauke (another feeble Wet always blathering on about International Law) have always been more LibDem than Conservative.
They have never been Centre Right;
so soft mushy Left as to be indistinguishable from the LibDems & Greens who they should now be honest and join.
Superb article from Henry George. He nailed it. I would live the Tory’s to wake up and reboot but with muppets like Finkelstein, Heseltine, Clarke and Grieve calling the shots, they are finished.
Bull’s eye of an article. They are something after the fashion of trying to dry the patio by perpetually power washing it to the point where it disintegrates.
These supposedly ‘right wing’ wets preached compromise and accommodation for thirty years.
And at every turn, at every juncture, they were steamrollered by a non compromising, unaccommodating left.
Yes. We also believe in a social safety net.
Not good enough. We must offer welfare to the entire world.
Yes. We believe in anti-racism. Not good enough. You must favour minority groups over British nationals, or suffer the consequences.
Yes. We won the EU Referendum but it was ‘tight’, (it wasn’t) so we’ll only sort of leave. A bit.
Not good enough. We’re overturning the vote, and rejoining anyway.
Yes. We believe in gay rights. Not good enough. Unless you declaim that men can become women by simply stating as much, we will put you in prison.
The list goes on and on.
Now, again, the wets seek to solve our nation’s problems by compromising with an ideology which hates them, controls all the power, and seeks nothing less than not only their destruction, but the destruction of everything they claim to stand for.
Good grief, how much more delusional can people be? How can so many supposedly intelligent people be so caught up in their own self righteousness that they fail to see the mountain of evidence that’s piling up around them like a coal tip? These people are a disgrace and should never get anywhere near power again. It’s time their deluded bubble was well and truly burst.
Eye opening piece, thanks.

never underestimate Tory tribalism!

agree
An excellent description of why Badenoch and her merry band of wets will be annihilated at the next election. They just don’t ’get it’ as their arrogance shines through their every thought and deed. They had their chance and they blew it completely and British citizens will never forgive and forget. They took a great country with culture, traditions, morals and they turned it into this hellhole.

Thing is that Badenoch was the only member of the last government to stand up to Woke. So not fair to call her a Wet. Jenrick did and said nothing.
I didn’t actually call Badenoch wet…..if you re-read the post.
I have voted Con for more than 65 years but no more. The Conservatives betrayed us starting with Major who came immediately after Thatcher who gave us some self respect back. Fortunately we now have another party to vote for which does espouse true conservative principles which I regards as self reliance and strong defences.

The obvious fact that they have no understanding of the situation this country is in shows clearly that they are not electable.
Wet Toryism is based on snobbery and contempt. They regard these matters as beneath them.
agree, social status doing a lot of heavy-lifting here (or perceived status)
It’s difficult for people born outside of it to understand how intensely social status matters to these sorts of people. Much more than careers or money.

The above is where the UK is heading, and the Tory Wets are enabling it, in my view.
The trans delusion is designed to enable Marxism. Gaslighting, denial of reality and the instilling of fear to anyone who questions the narrative to silence them are the hallmarks of authoritarianism and the ingredients for dictatorships to flourish. It's no coincidence that all trans activists and "trans people" are far-left and instantly talk about demolishing capitalism in order for "trans people" to thrive.
Spot on. Queer Theory is a Trojan horse for the destruction of western democracies and the bringing in of a Marxist ‘utopia’.

A biased Civil service with their own agenda and the Home Office infiltrated by Muslims controlling the asylum system process to their advantage.

Reform is our only credible alternative.
Well said Henry, your sentence, “Almost everything that has gone wrong in Britain in the last thirty years or so has either been enabled or outright caused by these supposed liberal centrists” says it all.

Dominic Grieve is the epitome of the
Tory wet.
He is so wet that he should have dissolved by now!
I remember when he was
in government he opposed doing anything concrete about immigration, continually undermining any policy which attempted to control it by using spurious legal arguments.
Bleeting about how great the EU is etc., etc.,
He and David Gauke (another feeble Wet always blathering on about International Law) have always been more LibDem than Conservative.

To be fair to Conservative Home, Henry Hill made very similar points to this in his piece there yesterday (19th Jan,)
These supposedly ‘right wing’ wets preached compromise and accommodation for thirty years.
And at every turn, at every juncture, they were steamrollered by a non compromising, unaccommodating left.
Yes. We also believe in a social safety net.

The list goes on and on.
Now, again, the wets seek to solve our nation’s problems by compromising with an ideology which hates them, controls all the power, and seeks nothing less than not only their destruction, but the destruction of everything they claim to stand for.
But yeah. Might work. 🙄
