NatCon is correct. Our nation will not last without humility and gratitude before God

Parts of the media has grossly misrepresented the aims of the National Conservative Conference, says Rhys Laverty. Having attending the event, Rhys believes it could result in conservatives putting God back into their politics

You may have seen much of the British press foaming at the mouth this week about the National Conservatism conference (NatCon, for short).

Supposedly, the event was a gathering for far-right nutjobs in the Tory party, intent on ushering in an authoritarian dystopia that will look like a cross between The Handmaid’s Tale, a Donald Trump style ‘Make America Great Again’ and a pub lock-in with Nigel Farage.

As an attendee, I can confirm it was, to a hilarious extent, nothing of the sort. If you want a textbook example of how conservatives can understand liberals but liberals can’t understand conservatives, this week has been it.
