> Blaming “Toryism” is pretty odd. You think the economic problems affecting the UK started in the last decade?
They came to power 12 years ago when interest rates were <1% and they've cut investment in every industry, from Wind Power to Tidal energyto basic infrasteucture like an HDVC cable to iceland to import cheap geothermal power.
They have sold profitable state assets like the green investment bank, and essential security like gas storage.
The office for fiscal responsebility has calculated that these cuts have cost us hundreds of billions in the current energy crisis.
It has also been the most law-breaking government in living memory - they illegally deported thousands of british citizens in the Windrush scandal, had party in the middle of lockdown at number 10, to the PPE/covid eqipment contract handed out without tender to friends and family, Lordship titles for friends and dobors, breaking laws on political campaigns finance in Brexit referendum and taking godgy russian donations.
Combine that with the fact that they recently proposed a law to ankle tag 'repeat protestors' without a court process or any evidence of a crime.
I genuinely fear that UK is becoming like Russia or the inside, but with better marketing.
