      He’s got to appeal to the Tory base who are mostly racist boomers who were never taught about colonialism outside of how the British showed up and tried to civilize the savages.

      Maybe within the Tory party, for sure. I can believe that. But does he not want the Conservatives to be electable in a general election scenario.

      I’m not trying to be funny, but isn’t this exactly what Labour did with the Corbyn years? Appealed to what looked like a large majority of their membership that turned out to be spectacularly unpopular at a general election level.

      I cannot believe the Tories want to repeat this lesson. I mean, if they want to be out of office for a decade then that’s cool with me.
