I know him personally and I know his political beliefs. He is a conservative and the only type of liberalism he has any time for is clasical liberalism - the type that existed before American leftists corrupted it. Limited government. Freedom of religion. Freedom of speech. And individual liberty at the core of mankind.
You certainly don’t have to respect him, but you don’t even know what he actually believes.
His actions and his own words tell me everything I need to know about him. He lives in luxury off the backs of Britsh taxpayers, has no real job and preaches to everyone else how they should live their lives.
That's not the definition of a Conservative.
That’s encouraging to read . . .
His Islamic stuff is mystifyingly bone-headed, to me.
And some of his other obtuseness seems to lack the kind of awareness I’d expect from someone who should be as well informed as he should be.
