    We should definitely stop using “Red Tories”, not only there isn’t anything red about them, but this idiom is very close to “red fash” and will legitimise it.

        The explicit notion of a “Red” Toryism was developed by Gad Horowitz in the 1960s

        Yooo that’s wild, i literally heard it first time few days ago after the Brit elections so i thought it’s something new.

    • i’m not sure thats applicable really, like, normal libs in my life have called the current labour admin red tories, but i don’t think they’ve ever even heard the term “red fash” because that’s some obscure reddit-logo shit. and while labour may not be red in the commie sense, i don’t think we could get them to change the entire parties branding lmao

      and i like getting to insult them shrug-outta-hecks
