This is all a long time coming. For years, this government chose austerity, which stifled growth and stifled wages. Then, in fear of the growth of the far right and the announcement of cross EU tax reform, they announced the referendum. They will now blame global issues and the war, but this started long before. They tried, with the aid of their think tanks and media friends, to deflect any criticism with cries of woke, lefty, radical, Corbynista, commie or anti-Britain, and now that has failed they are left with the dinghies, and their desperation to blame a failed economic model on needy people arriving in rubber boats. They completely ignore the fact that the same numbers of people are crossing as twenty years ago, just by different routes, but their supporters are so keen to blame anyone, that the Albanians will do. They continue to lie (safe and legal routes being the latest untruth), and their media friends continue their work, all the way from the tax havens of Bermuda and the Cayman Islands. And, there sits 21 trillion pounds of tax-avoided wealth, while we 'cannot afford' to give nurses a pay rise. After all, they have already had a £4,044 pay rise over the last twelve years, what more do they want? People have had enough, and the unions now carry vast support. The last throws of the dice will be very painful, and many will be besmirched, but the magic money tree could easily be found, it's just that the Conservatives won't find it because it hurts their donors and friends.
