UK Politics Thread

A combination of both the public being thick, while being bombarded with right wing propaganda from even owners of social media companies will ensure the Tories or a Tory/Reform get in next time.

Weirdly, I think if you do actually break it down to people's core beliefs alot of the public are fairly liberal or left leaning, but they've been brainwashed to a frightening degree.

A 60+ year old here in the office who openly voted Reform in the last election wants change apparently. He wants high or even double taxes to pay for better services and social care, nationalised utilities, fair pay accross the board in line with the public sector and the ability to retrain later in life being a realistic option.

The party to provide this is the Tories in his opinion. The only reason they didn't is because of immigrants in hotels.

Reform are always banging on about taxes being too low tbf.

I mean if you really think about it, the last 14 years were great and not at all an omnishambles. I don't even remember people talking about schools falling apart with the danger of walls/ceilings collapsing on students, a PM who lasted less than the shelf life of a head of iceberg lettuce and almost destroyed the country, a party going through 6 Leaders in 14 years, austerity as an ideological matter rather than an economical one, piles and piles of money being given to government mates during the pandemic who didn't actually do anything and essentially commited fraud, pensioners dying in their homes due to rising energy bills, the NHS being torn apart over time, a massive backlog of immigration/asylum applications and Britian leaving the EU, absoultely hobbling itself because we were great by ourselves in the 70s when brown people knew their place and the only language spoken was ENGLISH. Oh and a PM who routinely lied, broke his own laws and was totally fine with the bodies of old people piling up on the streets.

Yeah those things never happend and Labour have ruined everything!
