I must be grateful to GB Information. They look like the one information organisation that was prepared to hold verbatim extracts from Liz Truss’s speech to the so-called Common Conservatives yesterday.
They report her as saying:
I consider the elemental concern is that for years and years and years- and I feel it goes again 20 years – conservatives haven’t taken on the left-wing extremists.
These individuals have repurposed themselves. They do not admit they’re socialists or communists anymore, they are saying they’re ‘environmentalists’. They are saying that they are in favour of serving to individuals throughout all communities. They’re in favour of supporting LGBT individuals or teams of ethnic minorities.
In addition they famous her saying:
They now not admit that they’re collectivists – however that’s what their ideology is about. It is all about taking energy away from individuals and households and handing energy to the state or unaccountable our bodies.
And the issue is, the conservatives have tried to appease these individuals. They’ve tried to triangulate.
[A]nd we have had pandering to the anticapitalists as properly, by way of regulating enterprise, regulating landlords, regulating small enterprises.
Our shortest-serving ever Prime Minister has spoken. It’s truthful to say that the phrases she needed to provide delivered an unsightly and offensive message. Most will assume them deranged. I feel they’re harmful.
Truss is absolutely saying three issues.
First, she needs a white, male-privileged society that’s targeted on the supposed Christian values of the household, which is outlined to exclude any LGBT individuals, and with the values and ideas of any minority group being handled as aberrant and offensive and so to be topic to permitted prejudice.
Second, she needs to outline all types of collective concern, together with for the atmosphere and for society itself, as a risk to the fitting of the person to take advantage of the planet and others.
Third, she needs to finish enterprise regulation so it may exploit the buyer, the planet, locations, tenants, and others with out displaying any obvious consciousness that markets can not operate within the absence of regulation.
That is, then, an agenda that explicitly permits the highly effective with a grudge to abuse anybody they want with impunity. And something that will get in the best way, like democratic authorities and the rule of legislation, should be vilified or abolished.
That is past being referred to as far-right ideology. That is fascism. It must be described as such as a result of no different phrase within the political lexicon matches it.
