And one big thing that's come from this is how far from Thatcherism it all is. A lot of it's been fairly religious right in nature. Key themes have been claiming that the country is too full for any immigration whilst simultaneously bemoaning people not having any children.

Sad to say that my local MP (the useless Miriam Cates) opened the conference by getting into bother for what some considered coded antisemitism by railing against "cultural marxism". To be honest I don't think she was probably even aware of that stupid bit of rhetoric being an antisemitic trope. .
