This post arises out of my despair at being mugged every month by Virgin Media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My loathing for Toryism grows and grows. Cursed with the Thatcherite style \u2018choice\u2019 of a shower of money-grabbing swindlers, aka broadband service providers, and currently being fleeced by Virgin Media, I can only marvel at how Boris, with his execrable \u2018bus of lies\u2019, had the bare-butt-faced-cheeks – the goddamn effrontery – to swindle, nay, to rape<\/em> our nation so effectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un-fucking-believable! Bohnson, you neo-fascist shitbag.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

According to Bozo, Corbyn\u2019s pledge to give all in the UK free internet <\/em>was a \u2018crazed communist\u2019 plot. Instead of publicly owned assets that serve us all, we have shitty privately owned corporations intent on robbing us blind, the ongoing nightmare of Brexit, recession and rampant inflation. And still the billionaire press barons prop up the rotten Tory establishment, merrily scapegoating the weak and poor at the bottom of the collective heap, whilst they and their fat cat ilk wallow in the cream at the top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
A neo-liberalist wet-dream. AKA a nightmare.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Evil? Unquestionably. Beyond fucking disgusting? Indubitably. And these evil fuckers are currently embarked on a process of gutting the UK of any rights to protest. The real reason for Brexit. At a time when many scientists are saying humanity is teetering on the brink of self-annihilation, it\u2019s business as usual for the robber barons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Smiles and suits belie pure evil; a cabal of self serving right-wing hooligans.*<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

* I know there\u2019s been a changing of the guard since these cyphers were photo-collaged together. But you can take pretty much any set of Tories, and the putrid essence of evil remains unchanged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the meat and potatoes, try this<\/a>, in which some of the reasons for my anger are elucidated. For many years I\u2019ve allowed my own personal issues and petty problems to contribute to almost total political apathy. But these self-serving bastards and their rapine policies are driving me back towards activism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Abysmal (unelected) architects of the UK\u2019s self-destruction.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So now we have Rishi Sunak, a product of The City, whose tax-dodging wife epitomises exactly what\u2019s so rotten about Toryism. Another unelected (by the people of the UK) neo-liberal capitalist stooge. So he\u2019s<\/em> going to fix the appalling mess years of Tory misrule have brought about!? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Rishi to the rescue\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pull the other one. Oh, wait\u2026 there is no other leg to pull. All the limbs of the rotten cadaver of British politics have already been torn off. The corpse of British Democracy has been sent to the Tower, hung, drawn and quartered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UK needs to see Toryism killed off. Banished. Fired into a black hole. Exorcised. Otherwise we are, er\u2026 royally<\/em> fucked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
