As for the original question, detest is a strong word. I dislike a lot of Tories, but then I dislike many people right across the political spectrum and public life in general. Detest I would reserve for the likes of Francois, Bridgen, Rees-Mogg and anyone else who called themselves a 'spartan' for throwing the reputation and future prospects of this country down the pan in the name of some kind of small minded willy waving insular view of what the UK should be.

PS I don't mind some Tories. They all voted remain, funnily enough.
