Just thinking tonight about how truly sinister this government is. I'm trying to understand the rationale behind so much of what they're doing, and I think it comes down to control. Attacking private education, attacking the (moderately) 'well off', i.e. people who go out and do life on their own terms, family farms, family inheritance. You're not allowed a legacy. Property ownership. Bringing in digital IDs. Carbon 'allowances', net zero sabotaging our prosperity. And of course the benefit system changes which brings us closer to accepting universal basic income, because honestly what is the point in striving for anything if you're going to be insulted and punished? Just get your allowance from the government. Cradle to grave, with the grave part hastened along by Kim Leadreaper et al. Increasingly draconian approach to speech issues, jury trials going.
It's hard not to become a bit tinfoil hatty when you start to put it all together.
I didn't vote Labour, but did feel the Conservatives deserved to lose the last election (although I voted for them). I never thought they would be this bad though. Controlling and cutting us all down to size is clearly the overriding goal.
