I can categorically say I’ve never loathed a political party like I loathe this Tory party. I’ve never felt this angry about what a govt has done to our country. And never thought that a bunch of politicians deserved the total crushing defeat these Tories do.
How many agree?
We have an entire generation of young people who've only known a Tory government through their lives. It's clear some but not all have been completely brainwashed.
That's something that the Labour government needs to address.
Well, we'll find out on Friday morning.
Having lived through the Thatcher and Major years, I fear not as many as you'd expect.
I just hope Scotland isn't fooled into believing England really wants to vote labour.
It's hard to not look a labour basically trying to be tories now and throwing away all progressivism when now would be the chance to get a big majority & pass huge reforms without the same loathing.
They won't roll back austerity. They"ll only make it worse. And they are supposed to be the good guys
Unfortunately I also loathe their only alternatives who are going to continue to strip disabled people of dignity and support and continue to strip trans people of their dignity and rights
What ?? You mean you weren’t swayed by the arrival of Boris yesterday? Despite his persuasive oratory , and his friends in the media telling us how he was a fantastic election campaigner? And his record in office … scratch the last bit …. His hairdo ? What’s not to like ??
The damage these Tories have done with their networks and corrupt fraudulent capitalist top 1% plus parts of its followers in this 'society'. The mendacity of some who have done so well out of others misery directly and indirectly. Shame.
Totally, totally agree.
I never thought my lothing for Thatcher could be exceeded, but this lot have done it effortlessly.
I'm not a Tory voter, but I feel the centre-right of the party have been treated atrociously so this current crop need to be culled.
I’ve hated them my whole political life (from 21 onwards) they say you get more right wing the older you get, well fuck that! I’d vote for anyone to keep them out of government.
I would only add two extras.
1) incl the ultra-Tories: the Tice/Farage society- and mind-corroding racist fascist circus
2) total crushing defeat, & many individual prosecutions: with the outcome of long jail sentences, for national sabotage, looting & mass homicide ("misconduct in office" +++).
Spot-on, Sarah!
I’d like to see a massive Labour win, Lib Dems as the majority opposition-party in England and a way forward to becoming a progressive, nurturing, equitable, fair and rational modern nation….
Mere defeat isn’t enough. We need to annihilate the Conservative Party and salt the ground on which it grew.
Starmer as Scipio and the Conservative Party as Carthage.
optimates delenda est
I think I loathed Thatcher's Tories more. This lot are largely just venal, Thatcher's were ideological zealots, prepared to destroy lives for the Crusade. It's a toss-up.
100% agree. It's the venal self enrichment of them all which really gets me as well as Johnson's compulsive lying.
I had a dearly loved cousin who died of Covid while the bastards were partying. That pain will stay with me forever as my cousin was like a big brother to me. Unforgiveable.
