i know, they'll say emmanuel macron is the worst, etc. - the fact that the british - didn't have theirntempt. let's not re litigate that, butjust in terms of where this leaves the uk now, i was reading an article by melanie phillips, who was a long—standing conservative commentator — she was writing an article this week that she kind of despaired over the conservative party, she said, "it seems to be an argument about the size of state and tax, this leadership election, without looking at some of the bigger issues, like a fracturing nation and prices which are now being lost. the party no longer understands what conservatism really was," she writes. i'm sorry, you're asking the wrong person here to give any serious consideration... what about the point about the party... the french revolution was about upholding western values, that's what they used to say. traditional conservative feud. the tory party to uphold conservative values, and we should say nothing but how great our history was — it's all this woke stuff that she's going on about. what's interesting is that she feels like kem
