Yet these Tories harangue the rest of us about ending "the something-for-nothing society", and insist that we should all "pay our own way" in life rather than rely on hand-outs from others. As always with the Tories, it's "Don't do as we do, do as we say."

From a Conservative Party/Government which: a) claims that it is strongly opposed to banning things just because some people are offended (Cancel Culture) b) keeps demanding less State interference in social affairs. There really is no limit or end to the Tories' arrogance and hypocrisy.

AKA the drummer with Brit-poppers Blur!

Yes, there is so much bureaucratic nonsense in Higher Education - the 'educrats' have taken-over, and govern by 'strategies because they've never taught or written a scholarly book in their lives. Yet I would advise you to persevere with academia, because the current regime is unsustainable...

VAT is also a 'regressive' tax, because it takes more of a poor person's income - a £100 VAT bill is 'nothing' to Richard Branson, but a lot if you're a pensioner.

Apparently, there are dozens of seats (many in southern England) where Labour and the Lib Dems are unofficially agreeing not to campaign energetically against each other if only one of them has a realistic chance of defeating the Tories. In my constituency of Bath, Labour has no chance of...

I thought the Conservatives were opposed to banning things, because that's 'cancel culture' and denial of free-speech :shrug:

Brilliant summary. In some respects, today's Tories remind me of the Communist headbangers in the old Soviet Union. Rather than looking at the destruction, misery and total failure of their ideology and policies, they either insist that the 'program' simply needed more time to bear fruit, or...

Were planning to criminalise the homeless - while (last month) watering-down legislation to ban no-fault evictions, after lobbying from landlords. Surprise, surprise! The current Tories really are complete and utter *****

I guess it hopes that any claims it makes, however absurd, will divert attention from the absolute fuckwittery of the last 15 years. After all, they've got us discussing it on here right now! It knows that some people are so gullible that they'll believe anything the Conservatives say, however...

Hilarious on one level, but utterly depressing on another, because it shows just how thick and gullible these sort of people are - and this will strongly influence who they vote for. That's what really saddens me; these people are Nigel Farage's and Richard Tice's electoral base, and the...

If they haven't been back in years, how do they know its even worse now? Jeez, these people are pig-ignorant, bigoted, racist, @rseholes - the Reform UK party's core support, I imagine.

The Republicans and Christian Fundamentalists are 'pro-life' up until the moment the baby is born, and then they don't give a **** about its subsequent life, or mental or physical well-being. Also, they oppose an NHS on the grounds that this would grant the State control over people's bodies...

Funny how the Tories suddenly complain that the House of Lords is undemocratic, and so has no right to obstruct the Bills of an elected government. They've been in government for 14 years, so had plenty of time to reform the Second Chamber. And of course, if and when the House of Lords blocks...

For a Party which campaigned for Brexit (partly) on the grounds that it wanted to reclaim parliamentary sovereignty, this government really does seem to hold Parliament - along with the rest of us - in contempt. What the Tories really want is for the House of Commons and House of Lords to...

Yes, it's yet more Tory lies. Blaming Labour peers for blocking the Bill when Labour does not have a majority in the House of Lords (no party does). And claiming that Kigali is safer than London - a snide dog-whistle attack on Sadiq Khan as Mayor of London?

The growing support for Reform UK is actually frightening - people who think that the Tories are not Right-wing, nasty or toxic enough. Or who think that what Britain really needs is more of the same policies as pursued since 2010, but implemented 10 x more cruelly and aggressively. I fear we...

Spot-on Angry, permanently-offended, older white men who proudly attended the school of hard-knocks followed by the university of life, and think that anyone who calmly challenges their racism, sexism, misogyny or homophobia is brutally silencing and oppressing them. The sort of blokes who...

My Daily Mail-reading sister-in-law was trotting-out this 'cancel culture' bollox last week, as she is reading Douglas Murray's 'The War Against The West' about the alleged Woke attack on liberalism and free-speech in Europe and the United States. I had to explain to her that Murray is a...
