Brexit, Tories, Covid & Climate Change. All the disasters. Rage, rage against the lying of the Right. (I mute/block for misinformation, rudeness and lunacy.)

Sooner or later we’re going to have to free our country from this millstone around our economy’s neck
#Brexit
Interestingly the replies include many retorts slagging off most other political parties, but the Tories aren’t mentioned.

If Lord Haw Haw had had a propaganda channel called GB “News” pre-loaded into tvs and smartphones then we’d all be speaking German now. #Hitler #WW2 #Fascism
If Hitler had taken the time to put fifth columnists in England to teach fascist slogans to the idiots and appearing on Question Time every week we'd all be speaking German now.

Richard Tice of Reform U.K. couldn’t even be bothered to put a red telephone box and a Spitfire in his boomerslop AI fake picture. #lazy #tax #LiarsGonnaLie #Farage #Starmer #Local #Elections
Reform’s Richard Tice posts picture with telltale signs of AI manipulation, say experts

Which political party would Jimmy Savile join?
Yes, we have some serious problems in the UK, but at least we didn't make Jimmy Savile Prime Minister after he'd attempted a coup against the state and then let him appoint all his creepy mates to plum government jobs before attempting to destroy the international political order

I’d love to see digital sovereignty in the UK where we replace “Mega Tech Companies” with systems we control rather than wait for an unstable billionaire to have a tantrum. #DigitalSovereignty #France #Austria
I'd love to see one of the Mega Tech companies walk away from a country completely due to legislation it didn't like. Be fascinating to see how it would play out, would the public revolt, would they move on, who would the ultimate winners?

It’s clear from the comments that some people would be total suckers for Goebbels’ divisive propaganda.
If WW2 happened today we'd be so busy arguing on the internet over whether the government was trying to control us with blackout and rations that the Germans would just roll right through us in hours

There’s a lot of people in these comments who seem to be volunteering to Logan’s Run themselves before retirement. #pensioners
Every year, I seem to be paying more tax than I was last year, but the public services always seem to be worse than they were last year. Sorry but genuinely what the fuck is all of our money being spent on?

But how can this be true?! We had 14 years of ideologically right wing government in the U.K. They privatised everything. And as you know private enterprise makes things more “efficient” i.e. better and cost less - doesn’t it? 🙄

Private Equity bought our public services to extract our taxes and make ever larger profits every year so paying more and getting less is the name of the game. #Privatisation

That’s right wing ideology in action. AKA “the reverse Robin Hood”. Profit-driven public services are designed to extract money from us and give it to the rich.

We could rejoin the EU in say, 2027 and then have a referendum on whether we wanted to stay in, in 2030. #Brexit #Rejoin #RejoinEU
Brexit's the reverse Midas. It turns everything to shit. It can't be made to "work" so it will keep dragging British governments and British PMs down until one of them ends it.

Actions have consequences. I’m sure the grandparents would agree that people should take responsibility for their actions.
It's really hard to get adult grandkids to visit grandparents who do things like vote for Brexit to hobble our economy, support Boris Johnson's handling of covid, and Liz Truss putting up our mortgages. This isn't "politics" It's our lives.
