everything that right wingers stand for disgusts me
Can I get a comprehensive list of exactly what that entails please?
They go on and on about the glory of the Empire, which was a genocidal force that starved millions to death world wide
Oh please, the Empire was over a century ago, who cares about it. We did some bad things, but no worse than the other colonists at the time. Don't forget we brought civilisation to the furthest reaches of the globe, ended slavery and spread a common language globally.
and of course the people who were worked to death building it weren't you upper and middle classes, but the working class.
What? Sorry, who were worked to death? In the industrial revolution, towards the end of empire, there were many who died, but don't forget, there's a reason some people worked in factories and some people owned them. The workers are dim and the owners are clever and worked for their position. But let's not dwell in the past any longer, your delusion of some kind of working class culture is enough for me.
As for this idea that rich people fund the state, I'm sorry but that is 100% bullshit.
Erm, sorry?. How much do you pay in taxes? I'd be willing to bet none. I pay 45% so you can have access to the services you take for granted. That would be 60% under Corbyn and I don't even use state services, so how's that fair?
If the poor are such a drain on the country how come it is the millionaires who cost this country so much more in tax avoidance via loopholes left open by the Tories.
Scapegoat. They don't cost, they just don't pay as much. But we pay our taxes (begrudgingly).
And now they want to destroy the NHS, the only thing keeping this country as high in the HDI ratings as it is.
You'd do well to remember that that isn't Tory party policy at all. I do want to though, the NHS is a huge burden on our economy, it offers bad quality service and its paid for by the richest who don't even use it. Why can't you pay for yourself and we'll pay for ourselves? If you genuinely can't afford it if agree in state subsidies , but only in rare and isolated cases. And I'm not proposing scrapping healthcare, the NHS is not the only thing keeping us in high HDI, just remodelling it.
aware that the blood of those unable to be cared for is on their hands
You melodramatic, greasy necked simpleton. If you can't afford to live within your own means and have to have other people pay for your lifestyle, then that's a problem with you and I don't care.
To me, the Tories are murderers and they have hijacked the English national identity (working class and left wing) and crafted it into a right wing one.
What? English, British national identity has always been right wing. We tried left wing from '45-'79 and do you know what? The country was fucked. Trade unions dominated the Government, the national economy just stopped working; everything just stopped working. If you knew history you'd realise that, ever heard of the Winter of Discontent? That's where it all came to a head. Left wing doesn't work. The only reason unemployment was higher under Thatcher, despite the fact she got the economy booming again, was because the state owned business had to streamline in order to survive, something they couldn't do with the Unions in power.
You are voting in your own interests without thinking for a second about other people.
Yes.
Have some empathy for other people.
Why should I?
Right wingers had their way in the 80's under Thatcher and our debt, inequality, poverty and unemployment rose to the highest levels since the Great Depression.
Once again, I emplore you to learn your modern political history. Just anything. You'd realise how pre-Thatcher, the country was not functioning.
