Shouldn't really be surprised at Peter making this hot take, but still...

Turnip Taliban isn't a new concept.
I'm still amazed to see one rushing to align with them, (or not).
It's a little hard to tell based on PH's snippets.

Peter Hitchens actually is a social conservative. Voting for a lying slob who can't remember how many kids he has but calls people black people picanninies, isn't really social conservatism, is it?

[Andy McDandy]

Similar to the US religious right cosying up to Trump. They saw in him someone who wanted their support, so would back whatever they suggested, regardless of his personal morality or beliefs. Plus, he tapped into the undercurrent of white/northern European supremacy that runs through Protestantism.

Peter Oborne strikes me as another "socially conservative" type that will pause for a brief second of cognitive dissonance before clamping his nose shut to vote for Boris.

Hitchens is no Tory. In fact he harbours an abiding dislike of the Conservative Party. But he is a conservative (NB, small "c").

However, he is also barking mad. This latest is just one of a long line of idiotic things that he has come up with.

Johnson shat that tiny voting bloc (Voters in Ulster have their own parties) by getting married in the Mosque/Cathedral.

You won't be surprised to hear he's been shown clearly he is wrong.

Hislop publishes Peter’s letters in full in case he gets another one.
