Because the ruling class want more value from the working class.
So they are squeezing every last drop out of the poor and working class using 'austerity'.
Because capitalism is not about equality, but about exploiting other peoples ideas and labor to only enrich the capitalists.
Same problems in the U.S. only a lot worse.
Spot on. Exactly.
Because the Tories are a bunch of cunts, Mate.
Why do the English keep voting them in?
@Coldo Why do the dumb rednecks in the red states keep voting in Republicans who say they will cut taxes and make life better for the working poor?
They never do anything but line their own pockets and take care of the interests of the interests of the rich who they actually work for. Instead they get sent off to die in wars for profit and if they survive they are kicked to the curb like trash.
@Surfpirate I think they can be explained an bit easier.As long as they can play with their big guns,have as many as they like,do plenty off shooting they will put up with anything. (I suspect there is alot of inbreeding going on as well)
@Coldo I would say it is a simple matter of playing to class structures. The poor and ignorant white trash doesn't care if they have almost nothing so long as they can feel good about themselves because the black guy down the road has even less than nothing. It works well in class conscious English society where everyone is happy so long as they have someone else to look down their noses it.
We always got a good chuckle out of the down at the heels Brits that emigrated to Canada back in the 60's and 70's who wanted to look down their noses at the 'Colonials' in spite of the fact that socially and economically we shit bigger than they were ever going to be with their ridiculous notions of class in a country like Canada where you are what you achieve and nothing more or less.
Because the Tories are ideologues who think the rich need to keep getting richer without having to pay a properly fair tax rate on their wealth. They also insist that we are still a nuclear state and squander an obscene amount of money on Trident.
They could save a lot of money on fancy nuclear weapon delivery systems if they just replaced all those missiles and submarines with a few good catapults. They only have to hit Brussels, how hard could it be?
