To need to rant at the Tories.

Hate the Tories. Really do
I was more measured before now full on anger.

Can anyone please join me in a rant.

Also I'd really like voters that have now turned against the Tories to please let us know on here what has finally made you turn against them.

And who will you now vote for?

Hmmm, I'm not really sure at the moment. I'm going to see how things turn out.
Things may buck up a bit.
You never know. 🙏

Brexit. Education and NHS. 🤯

Also - the embarrassment that they actually are.
I'm ashamed. And I used to be so proud of GB.

I need to rant.

My child's school cannot keep him safe, he's at risk of dying on site or having a massive diabetic seizure because I quote "we do not have enough staff."

Years of tory cuts.

TooBigForMyBoots · 07/05/2024 16:45

They need to go ASAP. They are a threat to the country, have you seen the news about the armed forces database being hacked?

Literally worse than useless.

A bit over simplistic to blame them for Brexit (entirely). Fair enough, Cameron promised a referendum - but in the past Labour and Lib Dems both made the same promise in manifestos.

The real villain of the piece is a combination of Farage and our wanky electoral system. If we'd had actual UKIP MPs elected instead of infiltrating the Tories, we might never have had the referendum, because Cameron wouldn't have needed to settle the rift in his party.

Also there were millions of Brexit supporters among non-Tory voters.

I have never voted Tory and consider it vanishingly unlikely I ever would, but Brexit isn't 100% a Tory issue.

Flyhigher · 07/05/2024 17:48

@frankentall agree and disagree. The press was bought out by RW oligarchs.

But ... they didn't have to have a referendum. They could have had a referendum which needed a 60% vote.
They could have done a soft Brexit.

Boris et al Tories were baying for blood, for their own ends. In the background they kept saying it was easy and they had an oven ready deal.

Cameron started it and Teresa May could have ignored it or enacted a soft Brexit.

I do blame them. It happened on their watch.

They promised Singapore on Thames and delivered Argentina on the Channel. Unless we slay their sacred cows, we are destined to continue on this path of decline that they have set us upon in pursuit of their ideological beliefs.

Porkchopexpress · 07/05/2024 18:10

Does anyone actually think that Labour or anybody else will do better? They're all as crap as each other!

idreamoftoddlersleepytime · 07/05/2024 18:12

I remember things being so much better than they are now in 2010, after 13 years of Labour, the Country was a better place than it was in 1997, and in 2024, we have regressed way behind were we where.

Crap in a way I prefer though. Labour won't be destroying services I have to use (eg NHS) for ideological reasons, or funneling taxes to private industries run by their mates.

Have you been to Wales and seen the state of the labour run NHS there?

Don't worry, I fell for the old
'You'd be a great leader for the Party"
actually I think I was, it was just everybody else who had no vision. Financial markets, world bankers, cabinet ministers, party members, people in the street...you get the idea.

Yes. They're all as crap as each other is just another Tory lie. No government has inflicted as much damage and destruction on the UK, our rights, our laws and our democracy as this shower of incompetent, duplicitous cunts have.

They're dangerous and disgraceful and I dread how much more damage they'll do before they have to give us an election.AngryAngryAngry
