      He’s… A Tory. A member of the conservative party.

      I mean, the word “liberal” isn’t really used in UK politics (LibDems don’t count). But he’s a conservative through and through.

        Socially conservative fucking liberal, “classical” liberal, emperialstic liberal, yee olde British liberal, Yee olde aristocrats wanting to go solo and cut out the monarchy and clergy liberal, privatise everything to a set of monopolies, duopolies, triopolies liberal, fostering markets that exploit slavery liberals, push war on drugs and McCarthyism liberals.

        FUCKING LIBERALS

        Right wing. Not left wing. Liberalism was always, always right wing. Social democrats too. Same shit. Different branches. UK liberals, Nordic liberals, German liberals, Spain liberals, EU liberals, democrats and republican liberals.

        FUCKING LIBERALS

        The predominant feature of liberal democracies? Fucking liberals. Nice word, isn’t it? Shame if it would be misleading packaging and be about as liberating as a gimp cage.

        Signed, an ex-social democrat.
