It frustrates me how much the government is trying to start a culture war.
It really feels like the conservatives are just trying to manufacture this to distract from how much they’ve fucked the country.
I’m not saying those bigoted thoughts aren’t an issue in the UK, but I don’t think the average person really feels that strongly about the topic.
That's the conservative MO on both sides of the pond
Hey, at least your conservatives aren't so dedicated to proving government doesn't work that they oust their own House speaker because he wouldn't shut down the government to prove government doesn't work.
Other than that, they're nearly as shitty. They're just not flat-out "we're breaking government to prove government is broken" yet. So far, they only seem to do that with the NHS. (I could be wrong, just looking from the outside, as a Yank)
Yeah, you're definitely wrong. The conservatives in the UK are every bit as bad as the USA. I appreciate it always feels worse when it's happening in the country you live in.
FTFY
Taking a page from the #GOP. You guys had better flush the #Tories before they metastasize into outright #fascists.
