It isn’t just politicians who are at fault for the state of politics and the country as a whole. It’s an opinion-based news media that isn’t fit for purpose peddling absolute lies, hatred and misinformation on an industrial scale.
We’ve been fed this sh*t for years. Billionaires MUST be amazing because they’re billionaires. Austerity is the ONLY option. You CANNOT tax the rich properly because they’ll leave the country. You must be MAD to think we can do these things! The wealth WILL trickle down. It’s all absolute b*llocks.
The country is f*cked because of corporate greed and theft, industrial-scale tax avoidance, rampant corruption, shameless nepotism and a cabal of corrupt and self-important politicians aided and abetted by a handful of media barons who indulge in abhorrent and appalling behaviour.
Oh and Hague himself voted in favour of austerity, has accepted money from and lobbied for and on behalf of oil companies, and has consistently voted against raising living standards for the most vulnerable members of society.
Pontificating while more and more wealth disappears upwards. William Hague, Baron of Richmond, can f*ck right off.
