    fight back against the “left wing extremists” she claims have taken over Britain’s institutions.

    She is either cynical and pandering to extremists or fully detached from reality herself.

      [Mogg] declared the death of “Davos man” - members of the global and political elite who descend on a Swiss ski resort every year for a global economic forum.

      Ah, yes the famously left-wing extremists of … the World Economic Forum.

      you got to wonder how far right she actually is to consider Britain is run by left wing “extremists”.

      Thats assuming she knows what any of those 3 words mean.

      When you are that far to the right, everything looks leftist. They can’t see the centre where it is because it looks so far left to them.

      Hello, and welcome to conservatism. They’ll make whatever mouth noises sound like justification for whatever they want, next. Disprove their argument and they’ll pick a new one. It has no relation to their conclusion. They don’t understand why it should.

      They do not evaluate claims. In their worldview, that is not what claims are for. You simply accept or reject them based on interpersonal trust. That is how you perform ingroup loyalty.

      And I say “you” because they think you’re doing the same thing. They think that’s all there is.

      There is nothing else in their moral universe.
