    I like Colin Brazier, but he is quite long winded.

    I can't actually tell if he is conservative. Labels, aside from
    anti-batshit, have lost their meaning.

    I think things have evolved to the point where the dividing line is
    between rationality and insanity. When you have people like Bill Maher
    openly questioning the side they're most identified with - for very good reason - we're past the point where one or two issues could be used to
    decide whether you are on one side or the other. Now, it's a question of whether you are for or against policies that are massively
    self-destructive and unhinged. Brazier is clearly against closing all
    the prisons, abolishing the police, and opening the borders wide so he's
    on the anti-batshit side. If you'd spoken to him before these
    self-destructive ideas had gripped so much of the world, you might have
    found him far left!

    Katie Hopkins has entire ongoing YouTube channel called "Batshit Bonkers Britain", where she does videos detailing the lunacy-du-jour coming out of the British government.
