I can't believe that many would continue voting Tory if they knew.
I can. A lot of people seem to love a race to the bottom and blaming poor people for being "feckless".
There's a lot of nasty uncaring people in the UK.
I think people are just gullible, the Tories are and always have been very good at lying, they come from the hitler school of public speaking really, flatter the audience tell them they are are great and everything would be so much better once we have gotten rid of the problem, i.e the lazy poor people, the immigrants, at one time the blacks, the interfering EU etc, everything is always coming from some enemy that needs putting in its place, rather then Tory greed and incompetence in government.
no one takes any notice of whats going on around them as long as their noses are buried in the tory press echoing the same lies and blame games and the dangling of the carrot of rewards for the "hard working British people" etc.
its unfortunate that the other parties just are not so good at being professional bullshitters.
my father is a tory voter his head is full of absolute rubbish from the daily telegraph that doesnt stand up to any logical reasoning or googling of facts. and both he and my sister voted for brexit because they thought the money spent on EU membership would goto the NHS instead, me, my mother and brother told them they were being idiots and the NHS wouldnt see a penny and we would lose so much more then the cost of membership, but they wouldnt listen because the tory press told them so, it must be true politicians cant possibly lie about that. (my father was in his 70s and my sister in her 40s both well old enough to know better).
