What Have Fourteen Years of Conservative Rule Done to Britain?
Tweak, The UK is on the same track Italy started on 30 years ago, only we’re going to speed run it.

“Above all, it was trying to win,” Osborne told me recently.
That’s it. That’s the Tory mentality. They don’t want to improve people’s lives, they simply want to rule.
tla, “rule” being filling their pockets with public funds.
homesweethomeMrL, And that is the second, all too obvious, fact of British life throughout this period: a single party has been responsible.
Can relate.
HowManyNimons, At least you’ve had some respite. Since the crash in 2008 you’ve had Obama and Biden in. Breaks from the awfulness of conservativism.
It’s just been so fucking grim here, year after year after year.
Tweak, A single party has been responsible, but the next party is wringing their hands at the opportunity of doing most of the same while claiming they’re better.
Jaysyn, 
You say this like the Conservatives give a shit that their plan is going to plan.
They aren't here to lead, they are here to loot.
doublejay1999, 
Got half way and it got to be a bit rambly. So I left it .
clara, this was a really good read, thank you for sharing
Fudoshin, 
You’re welcome Clara.
OpenStars, 
If it helps, here is what Kansas did: went bankrupt, thought about it, then decided to do it again. Thought about it some more… well you get the drift.
What a time to be alive! Actually probably all times are this way, but climate change does put a bit of a new twist on that old theme:-(.
Blamemeta, Conservative? Compared to what? Lenin?
sabreW4K3, 
Do you live in the UK?
Fudoshin, What are you gibbering on about?
Blamemeta, They arent conservative. They hate tradition, hate the workers, hate free speech, hate basic human rights, hate the economy, hate hate hate.
The only reason they get votes is because every other party is worse.
Fudoshin, Erm. Are you thinking of a different kind of conservative?
Other than tradition none of those are traditionally Conservative.
Tweak, They hate tradition, hate the workers, hate free speech, hate basic human rights
If you go back far enough those are pretty conservative values. It’s been progressives that have provided respite from that.
hate the economy
They don’t hate the economy, they just frame it as their economy. They’re disaster capitalists following the writings of William Rees-Mogg.
Captainvaqina, You are exactly describing conservatives whilst saying they’re not conservatives. Maybe it’s time you accept that is what they stand for. Goodness knows they’ve shown it true time and time again.
