BE afraid. Be very afraid. Rishi Sunak is in full-on General Election campaign mode, and yesterday’s message can be summarised in one of those three-word slogans that are so popular these days.Has Project Petrify been identified as the best way to win back lost support for the Conservatives? It’s got to be worth a try. The Prime Minister cannot defend the record of his party over the last 14 years but can certainly try to make UK voters worried about the next five.
“Vocal and aggressive fringe groups are trying to impose their views on the rest of us,” said Sunak in reference to gender activism, adding: “They’re trying to make it morally unacceptable to believe something different and undermine people’s confidence and pride in our own history and identity.”But of course it’s not “our” history and identity that matter, because in the very next breath he added: “Scottish nationalists are even trying to tear our United Kingdom apart.
His “them” is us. His concept of fringe concerns includes any that relate exclusively to Scotland, a country whose borders he would struggle to point to on a map. The then-PM may have hoped he could blow out the candle of support for self-determination, but he failed spectacularly. He went on to describe his delusional fantasy plan of continuing to lead “a country where the benefits of belonging to our Union are self-evident to the overwhelming majority of our people.”
