TORIES CONTINUE TO METAPHORICALLY BEAT POOR PEOPLE WITH THEIR DIAMOND ENCRUSTED SLIPPERS
Can the Tories just fuck off please. Chancellor Philip Hammond recently revealed the government’s budget for the following year and it is truly pathetic. The Tories preach on and on about austerity and cutting spending to dig Britain out from under its mountainous debt but they have continuously failed to do so. Instead their austerity measures have caused the most vulnerable to suffer while the rich grow richer and they have done nothing to fix it.
The Tories’ money-saving measures have been to cut spending on the NHS, welfare, housing benefits, and more, targeting those who need help the most. What exactly is the point of having a government if not to help those who need it? They seem to only care about themselves and their salary, and of course the rich fuckers who vote them into power.
They’ve attempted to appease the people with a few stop-gap measures, tossing some money to the NHS to help them survive the winter crisis, half of what it actually needs to keep up with demand, and some measly cuts to costs when buying your first home which will likely be nullified by rising housing costs anyway. There’s also the tiniest fucking increase to the national living wage too, from £7.50 to £7.83, which still doesn’t come close to the rise in cost of living.
Honestly, what are they even trying to do. Can they please either get their shit together or let someone else do the job, because what they're doing is running Britain into the ground.
