Sadly I fear you are right.
I was in a taxi taking my son to his DofE meeting recently and in those curious ways that you are never quite sure how you got there after the fact the conversation somehow got on to refugees. The driver tried to explain how now we have said "all them lot" come here the financial strain will mean it will take Boris longer to fix the problems, which are exclusively Covid and Brexit's fault. Boris has done Brexit but now he can't deal with fixing Britain because of 10,000 refugees apparently. I tried, in the limited time I had to make clear a few points about this being insignificant to any monies that SHOULD be spent but WOULDN'T have been regardless. They have no intention to invest majorly in the working class, they have had 12 years. I said these people were promised this and represented our country more than many born and bred British will ever get near to. If it had any impact, who knows, regardless the anti-foreigner rhetoric is there and conditions are close to being that in which people leap to the extremes politically.

I know this is not exactly 'rivers of blood', but, big issues start with small myths. More and more of the electorate are tribal and significant portions are becoming fanaticised to a degree, look at Qanon and Trumpists, which have a global reach now if you look at Australia and its impact there as an example. Many staunch Brexiteers here also happily spew lies and misrepresented information to "own the left" or in real terms, power at any cost. This could definitely be a reality here and it's bloody frightening.

Yep. The current state of affairs has been a long time on the simmer. I've had similar conversations with taxi drivers for 20 years now.

Ordinary people seem to think ultra right wing regimes arrive wearing jackboots and nazi regalia. They don't, they arrive dressed as your friend, passing off vile views as if they're just a reasonable solution.... and we all know where it ends up.

It's a creeping menace. It starts off with conversations like this going unchallenged, becoming the norm, and that's where we are now. The nation is asleep and I find it scary.
 
I remarked in 2009 at the start of 'austerity Britain' that the transfer in wealth from the working class to the 1% was at a rate higher than ever in history. I said then austerity was an ideology and actually counterproductive to reducing the deficit. Every depression in history countries bounced back by investing, investing in infrastructure, creating working and middle-class jobs and improving society and the economy. Instead, we have people who feel they were bred to rule the plebs taking every avenue of support from the poor, all their wealth and as many rights as they can, and all to enrich themselves and their mates from whatever w*nky cigar club they are all members of.

It is now more than a decade later and it is worse, worse than it has ever been and there is no recourse or stopping it in the near future. The truth is the left lost the culture war, they also have far less representation in the MSM which, in reality, controls what a lot of people think and how they vote. For everyone who voted this Conservative government into power, the most immoral, heartless, self-serving bunch of ponces we have had in recent memory, do you regret your decision yet? Or will you still vote for them again next time if they put a new paint of coat on their all for the rich policies?

They have a husband in charge of investigating his wife, they have done government business through personal channels, they have given taxpayer money to their rich mates and are now cutting benefits and taking increasing the difficulty to enable you to protest about it. Even if you have a decent job, I fail to see what they have done for you, the economy historically, (some dark moments in the 70s aside) has been more successful under a Labour government, the rhetorical myth that the Tories are better with the economy is just that a myth. If you are not in the 1% there is very little if anything the Tories have done except convince you 'the left would be worse'. I am done with people being apathetic towards Boris and co because he's a personality or wit would have been worse if Corbyn won. NO, no it wouldn't because right now we are all having our wealth and or tax just spoonfed to people who already have more than they can ever spend, this is the worse it has been in modern history for wealth disparity and its getting worse.

It is corruption from the bottom to the top, the Russian money they use to spread their lies to mask their theft is plentiful though so we won't see an end to this corruption any time soon. Same for this Covid enquiry, it will be someone friendly to the protagonists to ensure they find just enough corruption to say they have found stuff but quietly ignore the big stuff because there are too many fingers in the honey jar for it all to be investigated legitimately.
Well said sir!

VIP only referred to their cronies, that much has been obvious since the beginning. Shameless, the entire front bench and all of their enablers are thieves and liars.
 
I have donated to tglp for some time now and would encourage others to do the same. Even if you support the current government what's the harm in a couple of quid to an organization that keeps them honest, or at least tries to.

The truth is this should be a tax funded organization but mp's don't like the scrutiny.
Thanks for the reminder. I've started donating
