Anyone could find lots of things that the ERG didn't do. That though is irrelevant. It's what they do, and want to do, which is.

Add to that that no-one actually wanted to "chuck out the Windrush generation" but that oversights were discovered and then corrected and it makes your comment rather pointless.

I used to be a Managing Director, but not of the authoritarian type you describe. However, when you are the one with the final responsibility you have to steer the course having taken such advice as you believe is needed. Anna Soubry is fully entitled to her opinions but she is not steering the ship. Not yet anyway.

At least you aren't in denial, so respect for that.

I do though take issue with you that this is a fight between "left and right". I think this is a fight between the far right and everyone who believes in fairness.

I am not of the left. I am a social democrat who believes in capitalism with a safety net. I support free enterprise and entrepreneurship. I strongly support the principle of meritocracy, which is only another way of saying that you support equality.

Feminism only exists where a lack of equality exists. Multiculturalism is a necessity in today's world and to try to hold it back is just as foolish as Canute trying to command the tide. You might not like some aspects of other cultures but they are a reality, so be prepared to deal with them.

No-one I am aware of believes in open borders, despite all the claims to the contrary. People get confused by compassionate responses to humanitarian crises which are the moral duty of us all.

So I don't see this as "right versus left" at all. I see this as a battle between right and wrong, between modern evolved democratic principles and uninformed popularist instincts.

The tory party is the symbol of appeasement to nazism, and the UKIP people are just returning to their roots.

'appeasement to nazism'

There is reality and then there is Steely.

You wouldn't know a nazi from your toothbrush.

You are the one who is deluded if you think that the fact that 7 out of 10 Tory seats backing leave means that the average Tory voter backs the ERG/UKIP stance.

I won't start another Brexit analysis here but it is quite obviously untrue to make such a claim. UKIP members might well have previously been Tories but not exclusively so and, as we know, a significant number of Labour voters voted to leave as well.

So what I said is far from nonsense. It's absolutely true. Only a minority of those who traditionally vote Tory would align themselves with the ERG, and especially those on the middle to left of the party who I believe comprise the majority.

It means they back leaving the EU.

No one you support does.

Those who might have joined recently would have been members before so there's no disfigurement, simply a more truthful reflection of where the right are at the grass roots level......Just as the Labour leadership are actually now a more truthful reflection of the Labour party membership at the grass roots.

So you are against the majority of the Tory party......and yet you have the cheek to say that it's that fraction who should be leaving it.

You are in the minority, not them. You don't believe in leaving. Most Tories do believe in leaving.
