Classic Tory austerity

“Austerity” it’s just politician-speak for fucking over poor people with tax cuts for the rich.

I'm so confused as to what they've been doing the past 15 years and still hasn't got the results they claim it will.. 🤔🤔🤔

Oh come on guys, it's not like he's married to a greedy billionaire wealth-hoarder who is directly contributing to the poverty in the UK .

Give the guy a break, I heard he had to wear a washed pair of socks once

The UK is effectively colonizing its own people

[-] undercrust@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

They've got the biggest and best resume when it comes to colonizin; can't let all that experience go to waste!

Another Bengal Famine but this time Britain is thinking globally and acting locally.

[-] belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org 10 points 10 months ago

Of course. Why tax the wealthy when you can starve the poor even harder for existing. Assholes

Sunak and the Tories trying not to be awful people challenge (100% impossible).

Sunak is still coping with being bullied.

[-] UpperBroccoli@feddit.de 1 points 10 months ago

That's right, f.... the poor, they have no lobby anyway! Tories are reverse Robin Hoods.
