Aren't they a bunch of upper class twits, plus most are racist, homophobic etc etc
Some are upper class twits. I can’t for the life of me understand why people vote endlessly for Fabricant and Reece-Mogg etc. Lots aren’t upper class twits. Some on the left are upper class twits who present differently from upper class twits on the right but are twits all the same. Some on the left are working class or pseudo working class twits - from my labour candidates literature “hard work meant coming home covered in coal. I knew how to handle a racing pigeon before I could walk”. What is that? She’s a woman in her 40s cosplaying a man in his 80s.
Labour has a huge racism and anti semitism problem. Unfortunately it’s not a left/right problem. Labour arguably has more of a women problem and a homophobia problem. My exiting MP (Mark Fletcher) is conservative and has received homophobic abuse from the leader of the labour council. Incidentally the people asking the labour candidate about it have been blocked. She’s likely too busy with her racing pigeons to care.
And Conservative in nature.
Yes. Most people aren’t living life as if they are extras on “the young ones”
The ones that obv hardly know anything other than for tax reasons, are tedious.
That's the only thing I knew when I was about 13
Labour don't male average salary people pay loads of tax right?
I’m struggling with this sentence tbh. DH is a small business owner and taxation, particularly the VAT rises have been very bad and a big part of why he would never vote conservative. I am salaried (public sector) and I’m in the bracket that has benefitted from the NI cuts. I quite like that they are targeted at working people - the triple lock has benefited pensioners so I think tax cuts targeted at working people are fair enough. The tax burden is at its highest for 70 years and nothing works anymore so they’ve bollocksed their reputation as a low tax party but people still do like the principles of “small state, individual responsibility, low tax”.
How tax is collected and how it is spent really is the essence of government, it’s not a side issue.
My biggest objection to a conservative government is the greed and corruption over the last decade. The transfer of public money to private hands - particularly during the pandemic, and the sense that they are above us (partygate etc). The standard of public services is appalling, in no small part due to the Conservative principle of “how can we get rich off this”. Public transport and utilities are not run to benefit the people, they are run to make profit for a small number and nobody is ever held accountable when the services are not provided. I don’t object, in theory, to the conservative value of individual responsibility, I just don’t think it should go as far as making me boil my tap water and closing the libraries.
