They walked past

They do not care.
Lockdown rule breaking did it for me - never voting for that Party ever again !

My family were a Tory voting family and my late father had his own business. He passed away when I was 15, almost 50 year ago. We never had a lot of money, but what we did have was food on the table, clothes and 2 loving parents. My father helped many people in our small community because he was on the parish council. I feel privileged to have had him as my dad. I’m sure if he was alive today he would be appalled by the tories behaviour these days.
I haven’t voted for the Tory party for a good few years now and I won’t be voting for them again!

My mother, a hard working, lower middle class woman trying her best fir us always taught that once one had something to conserve on should vote conservative, and I listened. I desired Brexit as I could not see how a federal Europe, towards which we have been careering since Maastricht, could possibly good for Britain, so I did vote for Boris in the December election, although I have, in the past, voted SDP and Liberal. I could never vote Labour and Gordon Brown’s ‘Bigoted woman’ comment is just one minor aspect of why.

No more, any GREEN Party councillor who wants my vote just has to ask, else I will spoil my ballot paper, with rude anti-NewTory comments.

People can disregard Labour because the man who led them 12 years ago made an ill advised remark.

But voted for a man who lied about just about everything and called homosexuals tank topped bum boys.

Is it any wonder we're in the state we are?

So Neilspurgeon0 you won't vote for Labour because Gordon Brown called some woman bigoted ( which IMO she was!!). However, you're quite happy to vote for a man who said that Muslim women wearing burkas " look like letterboxes", gay men "bumboys" and black Africans " piccaninnies" as well as other racist, sexist and homophones comments. Reflecting your own views perhaps?

Why anyone ever voted in a Tory Goverment after the devastation Margaret Thatcher caused is beyond words....Tories don't give a hoot bout working class people...

Never discuss politics or religion was something I was often told growing up. Reading a lot of comments here I eould agree - but I do know I would never vote for a government made up of many of these gransnetters!!

There's no empathy at all from Sunak, Boris etc. They live in a bubble and have no idea how an average family lives, let alone the homeless, the unemployed, the sick... They don't care and they think that we can be appeased by the mantra of "levelling up".

They're all there to feather their own nests! They don't care about anyone else other than themselves!! We shouldn't be surprised, I certainly am not!!!!

They can be removed. Go to
www.compassonline.org.uk/ and become part of the progressive alliance that will work to replace them at the ballot box.

Probably what it has always been, only now more obviously so

My sentiments exactly!

Yesterday was the anniversary of the wall of remembrance.

Yesterday Johnson held a dinner for all the Tory MPs.

Yesterday the bereaved families stood outside of the hotel as an act of remembrance.

Yesterday not a single Tory MPs recognised the bereaved existence as they walked by.

Yesterday not a single Tory MP offered a word of condolence.

As Gordon Brown said. “

“There is hardship and they don’t hear

There is suffering and they don’t see

There is pain and they walk on by”

What has the Tory Party become?

But, but, but, WWmk2, I thought yout thought they were evil bastards in the pit of iniquity already. So asking what the Tory Party has become seems a little odd coming from you.

Now, if it had been a previous Tory voter (I daresay such a person exists) saying this, I'd have understood the outrage. When you're outraged to the max ALL THE TIME it has less oomph.

Just saying ?
Not sure it's altogether good for one's mental health though I have to say I'm impressed by your stamina.

Mine too! There are also those who say they won't vote Labour because Jeremy Corbyn used to be their leader...

Just when you think that they can’t sink any lower……..

As for my stamina. What do you suggest that I do given that I think this is one of the worse governments ever. A government that is trashing so much that is held dear by so many.

Ignore it?

Let it continue without criticism?

Think again.

Cold War Steve.

Never have I felt so disgusted by our self serving government .
I have absolutely no confidence in them .

Unbelievable that someone questions the OPs stamina rather than the actual subject in question. Whataboutery at it's best.
Another poster quotes never discuss religion or politics. Depends if you can defend your opinion when it comes to politics.

I am really heartened at the posts. Decency and morality. I’m sure others feel the same.

Crack on WWM2. I am more concerned by the people who are not outraged to the max.

I too will never stop criticising this sordid, self serving cabal of liars. It saddens me to see what they are wilfully doing to people, to this country's international reputation and it angers me when people keep voting for more of it. By ticking the box next to the Conservative candidate however "nice" they are, you are agreeing to make life far worse for a lot of people, why would anyone want to do that?

Your last question. I so wish I had the answer, but it absolutely bewilders me. Even someone of extreme wealth is human and must have empathy for the poorest?

But to sit and watch the poor being deliberately made poorer, not to mention us pensioners who will have something like a 5 % pay cut this year. And everything else that they have done from questions about their security risk, to corruption, to greed, to utter lack of empathy. On and on it goes.

They got a whopping 80 seat majority at last election, everyone seemed to love the clown in charge. Opposition need to get on TikTok. Apparently the only thing younger people engage with.

Whitewave - keep up the outrage. It’s bad for your mental health and moral compass not to be outraged by the current government

Johnson couldn't care less and it'as not worth wasting words on his delinquency. He should resign.
