The National Conservatives had a rally in London this week. I wanted to write something, but the Guardian summary will suffice.
It's barely disguised now.
From the fine article:
Perhaps the speech most reported on was by the Tory backbencher Miriam Cates, who part-channelled Viktor Orbán and Giorgia Meloni in describing low birthrates as an existential crisis for the west. The populist leaders of Hungary and Italy are explicit in wanting more domestic-born children as against immigrants, a point Cates did not make, although it was arguably implicit. More striking still was her argument that the lack of babies was down to “cultural Marxism that is systematically destroying our children’s souls”.
This was also the conference where Jacob Rees-Mogg (a member of the current UK government) spoke and admitted that recent changes to electoral law in England and Wales were an attempt at gerrymandering, to disenfranchise people who might vote for parties other than his, but that it had backfired. The Conservatives appear to have disenfranchised many of their own voters.
It's in plain sight now. These are National Conservatives, the NatCs.
There is not much more to be said.
Update: Judging by the discourse below, there certainly is more to be said. Once again I will not say it myself. Instead I'll post a link to SNP MP Mhairi Black's f-word speech given to Parliament last year.

That'll be for this earlier interview where we get the Left's cultural relativism and bigotry of low expectations within the first 20 minutes. Nothing changed, socialists are sociopaths and liberals need to Scott Adams them.
