I love how they keep banging on and on about ‘protecting our democracy’. We don’t live in a democracy. Four of the last five Prime Ministers weren’t elected by the public and the one before that got in by doing a deal with the Liberal Democrats, a deal nobody voted for and nobody wanted.
Cameron resigned and was replaced by May, unelected, and after she resigned we had Johnson, unelected, and then Truss, unelected, and now we’re left with this absolute charlatan, again unelected.
We’ve had 14 years of brutal and savage austerity, corruption, corporate theft, industrial-scale tax avoidance, colossal mismanagement, wilful neglect. We’ve had racism, homophobia, Islamophobia, transphobia. We have a crippling cost of living crisis. Things have got progressively worse since 2010 and this lot, when they’re not stoking the flames and whipping up hatred, division and extremism, behave and pretend as if none of the above is happening. That none of it is because of anything they have done or continue to do.
I do not condone violence but I understand why so many people are so angry towards politicians. The way this lot govern, they incite much of this hostility imo. They don’t mind it when it’s targeted at brown people or gay people or black people or women or the disabled or Muslims or trans people. They behave deplorably and then seem surprised when people are angry at them.
