There is a particularly lunatic FB group in Burgess Hill which was originally set up to save a mini roundabout (I kid you not) but which has morphed into a generally right wing / pro conspiracy cess pit in which local councillors are threatened (two have had to resign and the police are involved) and 15 minute cities are regularly touted as extreme anti democracy/ anti car measures along with ULEZ (hardly an issue in Mid Sussex). There is no point in trying to have a reasonable fact based discussion, you'll be abused and eventually banned. In reality it's a very small group of people but it's scary how deep their ill informed prejudices run.
Ooh, ooh, what is it?
But evidently it's fine to elevate Russian mates of de Pfeffel to the House of Lords
Precisely. We've had 45 years of the neoliberal experiment subjected upon us and, lo and behold, it's been awful for the majority. Yet some still think it's the way to organise an economy, and then there are others that really enjoy the mobilisation of hate against all sorts of minorities and marginalised groups that has become so prominent since the onward march of neoliberal logic has been on the wane.
To be fair that's what Lee Anderson said/predicted last year (he probably wasn't supposed to be so honest) when they said the party (his at the time) would have to concentrate on culture wars because, post-Brexit, they had naff all left to cling onto.
Not quite that bizarre though when you realise the record prior to Oct 22

It certainly isn’t common sense which is her portfolio.I thought the Conservatives were opposed to banning things, because that's 'cancel culture' and denial of free-speech
funny though quite a few on the right have been saying Conservatives have failed because they haven't done these things. taxes have gone up, spending and government is ever increasing. after some crowing that Blair's New Labour had to adopt Thatherite policies, they now complain Tories adopted Blair policies. the richest that get so much attention are because of the same monety policies followed on both sides of Atlantic, make credit cheap and asset values inflate.
