Britain’s small-c conservatives care more about conformism and subservience to self-effacing supposed tradition, than they do about low tax, freedom and long term investment in one’s country via the business liberation, and the energy independence, of ditching the #ClimateCO2N’s #NetZeroCult.

As it flatters these, its more gullible readers, is The Telegraph losing its principles?

In reporting gossip, supposedly about Elon Musk’s lovechild, it refers to the alleged mother as a ‘Right-wing writer’. The tone echoes the Left-wing media’s disapproving use of the term. Further, by mentioning her being ‘Right-wing’ at all, The Telegraph, by implication, suggests that it is not.

Perhaps, now that the Left-Right spectrum is clearly defined, mathematically, as the spectrum from big government dictatorship to small government freedom, The Telegraph should ask itself what its politics really are: whether they are based on unquestioned convention and authority, or on freedom and prosperity.

If it does this, then it can tell its readers.
