It really is incredible. Just when you think the calibre of the fckwits in charge cannot sink any lower, we have an incompetent buffoon looking likely to take charge.
The reason is self-evident though. 12 years of austerity, and using this to peddle the narrative through a paid for media of it being the poor and foregners to blame for it all instead of the bankers and corrupt corporates who line the Tory and media pockets. Causing division and hate and using this to mug off the gullible AND the vulnerable to vote for Brexit, all once again to serve the interests of the Tory party AND as a result creating a divided and polarised society where there are actually ppl who've tied themselves to the mast of these machievelian ****s to such an extent that they'll still defend and/or accept lying, corrupt, incompetent charlatans to lead the country over any alternative.
Having said that, the tide is turning. Whilst there'll always be dyed in the wool blinkered supporters who will never change, the recent by-elections have shown (as have many polls) that people see the mendacity and false promises over the past two years as no different to those spouted by many in the Tory party about Brexit and are willing to take an objective view and vote Libdem or Labour.
As they say, you can fool some of the ppl all of the time (and we know they exist), you can fool all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the ppl all of the time <----- and the vast majority of good folk in this country belong to this last bracket, so I remain hopeful of when we all get a say in a couple of years, not just the 190,000 dickheads voting this clueless twat into office
