It’s quite an eye opener that people have been able to access the actual content of the speeches given at the National Conservatism Conference as opposed to short snippets. I have not been so successful and wonder if anyone can tell me how to access more detail?

YouTube.

Barking mad. I was waiting for the huge belly laughs at the end of it, but guess what... rapturous applause and cheering! Nat-C indeed. Did they actually call it a "rally", or did they still dress it up as a conference? Torchlight processions next?

Unbelievable, but also truly scary.

I find it interesting that Miriam Cates, a Cambridge graduate, thinks that fewer people ( well, women, actually) should be going to university.
Maybe it's the 1923 view of education also - it's not for the plebs as there is a risk it will make them unsettled, ungrateful, and ( horror) reluctant to breed.

Golly - these are scary people aren't they? It's 1923 in their parallel universe..

Gove has just said the left divide people into ‘unwoke’ and ‘woke’ and claimed that Conservatives never do that.

We are genuinely through the looking-glass.

And Danny Kruger and his views on only two parent, heteronormative, married families being safe for society can just do one, too. Ill-informed offensive toad.

Not only that , but 'staying together for the sake of the children'...

What a strange world they live in.

I see that twitter has started referring to them as Nat-C.

Say it out loud.

Apparently the Germans “mucked up” and spoiled Nazism for the rest of us.

Whitewavemark2 Tue 16-May-23 13:49:21

Another speaker - Douglas Murray talked about Germany “mucking up” in WW11.

For “mucking up” read Holocaust.

These people are disgusting.

Whitewavemark2 Tue 16-May-23 13:45:40

Yes I saw that.

There are some really choice speeches being made - this is one - full on Nazi rhetoric and anti-semitism
