Your cartoons cleverly evoke the broken,stricken nation we’ve become, for all but the rich. www.theguardian.com
…. The tories have created a country where 4 people have the same wealth as 70% of the rest of us…
…where state education and the NHS, once exemplary and heralded as world-beating, have been starved to the point of destruction…
…where we can’t trade with the countries closest to us…
…where our rivers and beaches, which were becoming cleaner under EU regulations and which the leave campaign promised would become yet cleaner following Brexit, are now amongst the filthiest in Europe…
…where 5 million children live in poverty…
…where young people have done what we asked of them and earned top honours degrees only to find they are saddled with enormous debts and can’t afford a home…
…Where the Tories brown-tongued the Russian oligarchs enabling them to buy up extraordinary amounts of British property, launder their ill-gotten gains and accumulate yet more vast wealth which is still funding Putin’s evil war…
…where addictions are rife and where up to two suicides a day are caused by gambling…
…Where the person who threw £30 billion of the nation’s money down the drain is invited to the King’s coronation…
…where, since 2019, 8 Tory MPs have been found guilty of serious sexual misconduct and where many others have been accused or are facing investigation…
…where the most incompetent Home Secretary the country’s ever seen, previously sacked for breaking the Ministerial Code, but who is reappointed by a Prime Minister who then allows her to say asylum seekers are ‘invaders’. He then indulges her yet further to hold separatist meetings where it’s her criticising him, following which she appears to have broken the ministerial code again – but he lets her off Scot free, to inflict more pain, yet again.
We live, in short, in a country where the tories want us to believe that black is white and wrong is right.
We need to reverse it all and prevent them from coming anywhere near the corridors of power for decades, but Blairite devotees aren’t going to do that – not alone…
…With Caroline Lucas, Carla Denya, Adrian Ramsay, Humza Yousaf and Ed Davey keeping Keir focused, however, it’ll be the strongest coalition of the left this country has ever seen…
…And the Tories will be consigned to the sewer where they so belong to be.
