Thus has the British political establishment fallen to corruption.
There always was but at least in the past they cared about how the public viewed them.
Only a party so conceited as to believe they can RIG or FIX an election would show such disregard for the opinion of the public OR indeed betray the
public in so very many ways as this party has since it came to power under the Condem Coalition.
Meanwhile the Labour Party is no better.
British socialism and the British labour party was never communism (that is actually another party that no one ever votes for bar a few misguided
idealists), it was socialism but watered down so as NOT to destroy our nation whilst at the same time ensuring that our people were given right's,
housing, education, medical care, old age care and pensions.
Labour was flavoured by it's own interpretation of Marxism love or hate him and so only VITAL industry's were nationalised, it was in fact such a
successful model after the war that a great many other western European states followed suit.
But then the Tory's under Thatcher then Major (Despite his sell off of the railways Major was mostly a decent bloke), then the NEW Labour Blairites
(he was actually a Thatcher fan and many of us believe he and his clique hijacked and stole the labour party - New Labour (AKA the Blairite's) was not
modernisation of the Labour Party but in fact it was a completely different party with completely different intentions - and then back to the Tory's
at first under the Condem Coalition and finally the Tory's again under first Cameron then May and then of course Johnson and next who knows what creep
they are going to foist onto the country to push there own vile agenda, everything was sold off.
Our industry's had there protections taken away, subsidies from the government that were paid to private firms (to help them through tough economic
periods) that had large British workforces were stopped, essential industry's such as WATER, GAS (The coal industry was shut down under Thatcher),
ELECTRICITY, (Essential in times of national danger) British Telecom were sold off THEN the Railways, then under New Labour our Higher Education
system was affectively PRIVATISED and our Hospitals were also affectively privatized through the back door, Government was weakened in order to
prevent a NEW REAL LABOUR (Remember how new Labour took them to court and forced the breakaway traditionalist labour members to stop using the name)
government from reversing there right wing actions.
Then the Tory's got back in and they attacked the state pension system, privatised it more or less and pushed the age at which people can claim state
pension up so that the poorest remain effectively slaves into old age and the hedge funds whose wealth does not benefit our country but only the elite
that have shares in them get rich off the people that pay them there money to buy there private pension schemes which have been FORCED by the Tory's
onto the British public so as to ensure there friends in the wealthy club get richer as they strip mine our country for there own greed.
Then of course our nationally essential and national security essential industry's sold to US hedge fund's, the Chinese before we fell out with them
etc.
There was a time the Tory's were patriot's and no matter how much you hated them at least they cared about our nation but no longer, they are a party
of traitors and NEW Labour is no better.
The Tory's also did not want children being born in our Country so they cut child support and when we came out of the EU they went to India to invite
there skilled young people to come and take our jobs, they NEVER invested in educating our own children to fill those job's but instead.
Basically they do NOT care about the British people, they do not have any true Allegiance to us or our nation and sadly neither does Labour any
longer with New Labour being really just peas in a pod with the left wing side of the Tory party, so much so that moderate Tory's often defect to
Labour and vice versa.
It really is a sad state of affairs.
And as each successive decade seems to have been the result of the previous decades governments policy's and decisions well then after the fiasco of
the current Tory's wrecking our nation the next decade will be grim indeed.
Greed has done this, greed for power, greed for wealth and greed for control over you and me.
