Tory Culture Wars are reaching new and baffling levels of complexity.
Post two Tory by-election defeats Rees Mogg has written in the Mail (Google it if you must) that the Tories are in a stupor similar to that of Henry V1.
Henry, according to some perhaps entirely accurate versions of Our Island Story fell into a stupor in August 1453 and didn’t wake up for a year. Speculation as to the health issue he had can be found on line.
According to Rees Mogg the Tories are in a similar stupor and must wake up. On the other hand they must not be Woke.
Its what bearded Marxists call the negation of the negation but in practical terms its probably just BS although in other times and other places calls to wake up have been part of far right rhetoric. One suspects Rees Mogg has his dog whistle out
At last someone tells it like it is.
[…] Rees Mogg claims Tories are in stupor & must wake up BUT not be Woke […]
