Why has there not been an uprising against the Tories?

Inspired why the what is really going. On in our schools, well Laura …. Thread

why has there not been an uprising against the story government?

the things going on in schools, the level of SEND needs and teachers leaving in droves.

the state of the NHS - staff overwhelmed and completely demoralised. It’s on its knees.

strikes across many public sector services for decent pay due to inflation and cost of living.

their Austerity policy has destroyed public services.

I work in social services and I see it every day. And several u turns on policy for social care - the cap on care costs, the reversal of the NI increase which was meant to provide funding for NHS and social care.

lied to about their behaviour during covid.

it just goes on

surely the whole of the UK needs a wake up call and needs to do something…

Although I don't agree with reversing the hunting ban, what you've described is what foxes do to chickens and other wildlife.

I just think the British public have been so dumbed down and brainwashed by the media they just accept it.

I admire the people in France who are protesting about their pension age going up. We should learn from them.

No, but they can be ripped apart by a bird of prey instead-that’s allowed within the ban. It’s the worst piece of legislation ever written. The rural economy hasn’t forgotten and will never vote Labour as a result. It will stay resolutely Conservative and the failure of Labour to give a shit about anyone outside urban areas means they will continue to fail to get elected regardless of how dreadful the Conservatives are.

You have to ask the question: for all their protestations, including acts of vandalism and violence, did those French who carried these out actually manage to get what they wanted?

The answer must be a resounding no.

As it stands, it sounds like you admire them for failure, vandalism and violence as a result.....

@MrsSkylerWhite Afghans do have a legal route - currently only Afghanistan, Ukraine and Hong Kong have safe and legal routes of entry. There does need to be an overhaul to provide these to other nations and I think what is being said is that people want the government to do something about that but the tories are failing and engaging in dog whistle politics about Rwanda and cannabalism and in my view the Labour Party won’t do any better either.

Its the SNP to blame in Scotland. Labour in Wales.

Thanks all for your responses and interest. I’m not really talking about rioting in the streets. But I am just staggered beyond belief that people would continue to vote for this party when they have really damaged public services due to the austerity policy which I think the long term effects are being seen: in education, NHS both general but also there is a crisis in children’s mental health. Children on waiting lists for CAMHS for three years! Social services both children which is affecting education and also adults. It’s a cumulative effect compounded by covid 19 and cost of living.

This Tory government took the nurses union to court today to stop them striking.

Bristol City Council this week voted to build executive homes on the land that has been Bristol Zoo for 180 years this week. Thousands protested and 1000 people lodged planning complaints. 200 executive homes will now be built and many mature trees cut down.

Standing up for what you believe in and actually being heard is very difficult in this country.

There has.

Thats what you are seeing at the elections.

Lots of people vowed during Lockdown that they would never Vote Tory again.

Hs2 is another one the excess financial spending, the treatment of people living along the route but more the catastrophic destruction of ancient habitats. It’s all practically criminal.
hundreds of thousands rallied, petitioned against it, for years.
yet it went ahead. With barely any decent reasoning.
the two benefits, the engineering school and the northern part. Scrapped.

absolutely disgusting waste of resources, our precious greenbelt, people’s livelihoods and tax payers money
