That’s not true though is it

With respect mate, this is just isn’t true and it’s indicative of the hyperbole on this thread. Since Cameron left office, austerity has eased and Johnson’s January 2020 budget was Blairite in its spending levels, at the lower levels too.
I actually thought it was too much and I am for a big safety net.
Unfortunately Covid ruined that and since Covid they have introduced the most left wing measures ever. The government has paid 80% of the wages for the employed, it’s communist in nature but we can probably all agree it was needed.
The issue is, we are all going to have to pay for it at some point, the deficit won’t disappear.
Even under May, austerity eased. It was Osbourne’s and Cameron’s ideology. Liberal socially and austerity economically.
Personally I have zero time for either policy as an ideology.
this is what is wrong with a lot of tory supporters, always thinking the poor are scroungers and on the make, when in reality the vast majority of the poor are just hard working normal people who are struggling
You do realise the majority of people who voted Tory in 2019 were working class?
For the record I donate to the local food bank quite often
I am happy to do this as I know most of them need this and deserve it
I also think some people abuse it, but I do it for the ones who need it.
That point is totally lost on the far left

Tell me which bit isn’t true. And be prepared to back it up with facts.
I already did.
The Tory’s 2020 January budget was the biggest investment in public spending since about 2005.
Their furlough scheme is the most left wing economic policy in the lives of anyone on this forum, obviously in an emergency.
and your point is what?
You think Tory supporters dislike the poor, when it’s the working class that put them in power.
It’s delusion.
if you think that the working class people cant think that other groups of working class poor people are dossers and scroungers then i think it is you who are delusional.
divide the poor, get them to turn against each other, it helps the right to get power, its what the right have been doing for centuries
Yeah those thicko working classes, we only don’t vote Labour because we are being manipulated against doing so.
It’s no wonder we give you two fingers at every poll.
Why are we misled but not you?
Is there evidence to back that up?
But you have claimed we are.
If you didn’t have an answer why are you saying it?
Do you think you’re more likely to make us vote for Labour next time?
because at the moment I fucking won’t be.
That’s not evidence to back up what you said.
