Now I'm pretty sure that coal a hundred million years ago was trees and plants. Is that right, Jacob?

It was. So I would argue that that's sustainable.

Hello and welcome to The Trawl where we scroll through social media so you don't have to.

I'm Marina Perkis. And I'm Gemma Forte. And today I strongly recommend grabbing some popcorn because we're off to an event, which is popcorn only with a letter missing, because it's popcon, which stands for popular conservatism, which is sort of problematic in itself because because the Conservatives aren't popular.

And it's not great starting with a lie.

Plus, to add another layer of deep irony, the movement, political, not bowel,

though when you hear what they've got to say, yeah, you'd be forgiven for thinking that it was.

One big bowel movement is headed up by one of the least popular conservatives of all time, Liz, I

crashed the economy, trust. You know, the whole thing just felt like one big celebration of

the deluded. Wasn't it? It was like a gathering of half-baked people, which, and what was the

point of it? Simply to have a go at their own party.

Yep, that was it. That I didn't understand. So their pop-con Twitter page said,

The Fight Back begins. And in her opening speech, trust actually hit out at Suddox government

for failing to take on left-wing extremists.

Is that for years and years and years, and I think it goes back two decades,

conservatives have not taken on the left-wing extremists.

Now, these people have repurposed themselves.

They don't admit their socialists or communists anymore. They say they're environmentalists. They say that they're in favour of helping people across all communities. They are in favour of supporting LGBT people or groups of ethnic minorities. So they no longer admit

that they are collectivists, but that is what their ideology is about. It's all about taking power

away from people and families and giving power to the state

or unaccountable bodies. What? Oh my. I actually, I don't, I, so, just so we're straight.

If you are an environmentalist, or you want to help communities or indeed support LGBTQ, congratulations, you are a left-wing extremist.
