I don't post a lot these days - especially not on topics as divisive as politics. That said, I feel almost a sense of duty to nail my colours to the mast on what I'm seeing in Westminster at the moment. I feel like life has turned into a sketch written by Chris Morris, either that or I'm experiencing some kind of psychosis (possible).
Over the last 12 years, from my perspective the country has been subjected to a list of increasingly inept ideologues - each one worse than the last. And that goes for all the great offices of state - Chancellors, Home Secretaries, Foreign Secretaries and Prime Ministers. Each one seemingly in a struggle to show bravado over brain cells. And the bit that I just simply cannot wrap my head around is that people have facilitated this by voting for them.
You could write a thesis on the nostalgia goggles that has led to our country trying to self-immolate in a desperate plea to bring back the Empire. We're in a desperate death-spiral of self-harm - and now the party that put us there are emulating that with their own death-spiral. All at a time where people can't feed their children.
It beggars belief that I'm sat here hoping Rishi fucking Sunak is Prime Minister next week. And why? Because the alternative is that we have another two years of the country being run by an amorphous blob of law-breaking bumbling bullshit with no policies, three word slogans and a track record of protecting sex offenders. And the worst part? I'm actually worried that people would vote him in again at the next election!
The bit that pisses me off the most - and it gets me incandescent - is when I hear "they're all the same" in some weak attempt to exonerate the Tories from whatever scandal they're currently navigating. No. Absolutely not. They are not all the same. There's only one party who are a bunch of irresponsible, austerity peddling, fraud facilitating, Russian-backed, prorogueing, ministerial code-breaking, law-breaking, market crashing, refugee-hating, criminal protecting, zero IQ cunts... and it's the party that has that insane avant-garde art exhibition Michael Fabricant in its ranks (who in the actual fuck votes for him?).
Unless every party does it ..no party can do it. And the Tories are only interested in lining their own pockets,
Increasing tax personal allowances?
Allowances have been increased since the coalition ( however, since you don’t regard that as a Tory government, the Tories have only been in power since 2015, not 2010) and the reason it didn’t benefit the lower paid is because they were taken out from paying any tax at all. If your pay is low and you don’t pay tax, you can hardly expect to benefit from tax cuts.Lib Dems in the coalition ... and it didnt benefit the lower paid anyway
Increasing the personal tax allowance: anything but progressive
Millions of the poorest households gain nothing from increases in the personal tax allowance.leftfootforward.org
Good luck in putting your head above the parapet…Allowances have been increased since the coalition ( however, since you don’t regard that as a Tory government, the Tories have only been in power since 2015, not 2010) and the reason it didn’t benefit the lower paid is because they were taken out from paying any tax at all.

There is a clip on YouTube where Peter Osborne a tory & ex journalist for the Telegraph & Mail says the tory party is no longer the tory party he used to support. They are now being run & in the control of the super rich, oligarchs, hedge funds & shady think tanks who nobody knows funds them. He says their main aim is to enrich themselves a much as possible & salt it away in off shore tax havens. If their actions affect people's pensions for the worst they don't care.
