The most urgent, modern Tory duty is to fight back against, to root out, the insidious identity politics of the post-1980s Left, and its consequent cultural manifestations. No simple government Act will change things, no counter-hegemony can be established in a single parliament. The fight to de-politicise the random, arbitrary facts of genetic life will require a lifetime of effort. Hoisting a woman on her party’s petard, because her mouth sometimes runs away from her: that’s a step in the wrong direction. That is playing, to be blunt, into the enemy’s hands, by accepting their rules of the game. Upon whom will the spotlight of the Two Minute Hate fall next?
