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.
