I’ve just spotted this comment thread from a black lady working for Fabian Solutions. It’s in ‘answer’ to the Telegraph Daniel Hannan piece about only 33% of the UK wanting to stay in the EU. I commend it to you as a classic of blind double standards, and evidence that Ken Leninspart is alive and well after her gender surgery:
‘I posted this on Norman Tebbit’s blog, but it applies to all conservatives.
I feel sorry for the Tory party, the majority of which is over 70. The Britain the Sir Bufton-Tuftons of this world yearn for has gone for ever, it “ain’t never comin’ back”.
They are now completely irrelevant to the modern, diverse, vibrant Britain of today. The people who voted for Thatcher are dying out. Those under 40 are overwhelmingly left-wing, progressive, accepting of same-sex marriages and adoption, abortion, the welfare state, tolerance and multiculturalism.
The tired, old, white males on here can get all nostalgic and wish it was still 1910, or even 1990, but you can’t stop progress.
Barack Obama’s victory in 2008 was another landmark, another watershed in the history of progress. Once the temporary conservative resurgence has burned out, Obama will lead America towards a liberal, democratic socialist model.
As Tony Blair said in 1999, the “forces of conservatism” that have caused so much misery and injustice are finally on the brink of defeat.
You’ve lost.’
Isn’t that a belter? Ageist, sexist, racist ignorance from end to end.
