A Culture War has broken out, appropriately, over the naming of a new MOD ship.
There were early plans to call it Agincourt but it will now be called Achilles.
Former Tory Minister Grant Schapps, well known for off topic rants when he was in Government has called this ‘woke nonsense’ and another Tory Minister Gavin Williamson has joined in
The problem the Tory Culture Warriors have is that as the BBC reports the name Achilles has the sanction of King Charles.
The Tory Party historically was the Party of Church and King. It no longer is although what it is, is another matter.
