What did the Conservatives ever do for us ? AKA lets apportion blame where it is due [smile]

After 14 long years of Conservative government, we now have another Party at the helm. I can't help feeling that a lot of what has occurred under the Conservatives will be quickly blamed on the Labour party, who have only been in power for a week, so thought it might be wise to start a thread summarising the Conservatives legacy ?

To start,

  1. Brexit is a fairly obvious one, the way in which this was handled by senior Conservative's was absolutely shocking.
  2. Liz Truss's mini budget, what was your interest rate pre September 2022 and what is it now ?
  3. The NHS, and social care in crisis.
  4. Prison and court systems/probabtion in absolute tatters and fit to burst.

Feel free to add your own Smile

They got a Covid vaccine sorted out faster than other countries and probably others parties here.

From a dyed in the wool Tory voter:

"You can't just ignore problems, waste billions and then go to the country and expect them to let you ^carry on"

From a 2019 Tory voter:

"That thing where people don't believe the story they tell on breakfast telly so they tell a different one on the evening news an arf gets on your wick after a while"

From someone whose voting history I have no idea about:

"They've made everything worse"

Education was also well fucked before 2010. Teachers being attacked, on ADs etc (I know them).

Cameron told us to vote remain.
Corbyn said nothing.

I blame Bojo for brexit - a high profile, charismatic campaign from him. To a lesser extent, I also blame Corbyn. He could have stood with Cameron and together they could have united most voters. He just said nothing. He was complicit.

They almost managed to kill off the NHS
Huge real cuts to school budgets
Brought in a post-truth culture
