Some things are just plain wrong, immoral and obscene. Sitting on the fence and making jokes about it have never been the methods of radical change.
And as far as the Tories not going out of their way to make lives more difficult, then you know nothing of the lives of disabled people and the vulnerable.
I'm not going to get sucked in to this middle way bollux and let's all be friends and sing around a camp fire. All my decades of political, environmental and disability activism have shown me that way is a cop out, kicks the can down the road and always makes things worse in the long run.
Nah, I'm happy to call Tory governments in my lifetime absolute c*nts. The same as New Labour or Centrist Labour; pointless and toothless. The Liberal Democrats weak and pathetic. The Greens delusional. Trying to please everybody at the expense of the poor, vulnerable and environment suffering just doesn't work. It will ALWAYS require collective responsibility. Politics and the effects of government decision are visceral. They are life-changing. The Tories expect personal responsibility without taking any themselves. Just look at Johnson's government.
It's pathetic that people are calling out a bit of name-calling on here when people are dying and have died because of 12 years of Tory power. I'm not interested in this f*cking 6th form debating process.
