It's just a shortened name for The Conservative Party in The UK. It dates back to The Victorian times I think but I'm not exactly sure how it came about. "The Conservatives" is the official name of the party, but you wouldn't call an individual person who has conservative attitudes a "Tory" unless they supported The Conservatives. A bit confusing I guess.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
