      It may be worth noting that this is in The Telegraph, occasionally referred to as “The Torygraph”, a nickname earned for being the slightly less rabid, but still very much right-leaning newspaper. “Tory” being used in the pejorative sense.

      In that newspaper, the thought of the UK being untrustworthy or that Brexit was a bad idea must be carefully skirted at all costs. Then again, that seems to be government policy no matter who the government is these days.

        “Tory” being used in the pejorative sense.

        There is only one way to use that word: perjoratively.

        This is the way.

        Their colonies is a much longer list with a lot of nations with good reason to hate them. These are the ones where the colonizers maintained majorities over the indigenous peoples. They never even rejected the monarchy.
