Curious that Tories who've taken Russian money are amongst those seemingly most keen on Brexit...

That reality lends weight to the findings of this report...

The UKs decline:

Govt run:
Try to provide a good service & do the best you can.

Tory Govt run:
Provide a poor service & sell all you can.

Privatised:
Provide a basic service & charge as much as you can.

The Tory future:
Provide nothing, take everything & blame anyone you can.

Together, 650 MPs claimed £135,810,637 in expenses in one year.

- That's an average of £208,939 each.

The entire cost of admin & paying UC to 2.3m claimants is £76bn.

- That's an average of £33,043 per person (inc DWP admin & running costs).

Guess which one Tories want to cut.

Tories keep tax loopholes open so can avoid paying their fair share.

Lower tax revenue means larger service cuts, less money for iinvestment, & no money for public sector pay rises.

Tory donors reward Tories for harming public finances & protecting tax avoidance.

The UK is run by the party of .

They've rigged tax laws for their mates & kept avoidance loopholes open for their donors.

They've squandered tax revenue on cronies, moved money to tax havens & cut services because there's nothing left.

...& we're all suffering for their greed.

It's time they paid it all back, & some should lose their liberty for their blatant evasion, collusion & corruption.

We had a functioning NHS.
We had a healthy economy.
We had a tolerant society.
We had clean rivers.
We had rising standards.
We had stable prices.
We had an honest Government.

We don't have these things anymore.

Instead, we have Tories.

In all circumstances, Tories squander our money with impunity.

If they're caught, they cling onto their jobs & squander our money to cover their tracks.

If they're brought to account, they lie to our faces & squander our money to evade justice.

...they can't discharge elderly patients to care homes because they're full.

That's because there's no money, no staff & where these do exist, most patients can't afford to pay care homes because they're struggling.

That's because there's no money & no Government will to do anything about it because that would cost money & solve the problems.

But Tories won't spend on social care, health care...

Tories deliberately scuppered a deal to end the rail strike with a last minute clause that added new working conditions.

That intervention has prolonged the strike.

Meanwhile, Tories spend our taxes (money they say we can't afford to pay to nurses) to compensate private train operating companies & protect their profits during the strike.

They're taking us for a ride.

Q. What's the difference between indentured servitude & the proposed new Tory anti-strike laws?

A. About 100 years.

I've painted a break future.

I hope it never comes true.

But this is reality for many third world countries.

It's also the reality in the most depressed areas of the US.

It's the dream of wealthy libetarian Tories to bring it to us, here in the UK.

The end of free healthcare means, if you fall ill, you won't be able to afford care.

No money also means no home.

To survive, you'll become so desperate you'll work for little more than food.

Charter Cities won't just oppress those they control, they'll undermine everywhere.

Since they won't contribute to tax revenue, cuts in services will hit the whole country... but not the rich.

Voicing opposition to Tory plans could see you tagged, placed under house arrest or even imprisoned.

Our cities could be turned into Charter City fiefdoms, owned by billionaires who can cut your pay, dictate your hours & control your life, including your movements.

Welfare cuts will drive those struggling into extreme poverty.

Where facts do emerge, Tories use the courts to suppress the stories.

The British public are kept ignorant of Tory failure & instead are fed a diet of celebrity & propaganda.

While we've been distracted:

NHS waiting lists have escalated, & preparation to make us pay for healthcare are well under way.

Laws have passed to criminalise protests.

Every time, their failure ends in losses for all but the chosen few.

Every time, the public picks up the bill & the chosen few get richer.

With so much failure, you'd imagine the media would report the losses, the damage, the deaths... but 80% of the media is Tory owned, & the BBC is Tory controlled, so the stories just vanish.

Tories have saddled the UK with over £2.4 Trillion in national debt, increasing it by more than £1.4 Tn in the past 12 years, destroyed our trading markets, & squandered hundreds of £bn's more on cronies.

Laws, welfare, & society have all been trashed by Tory policy, but why?

The public have never truly benefitted from Tory plans. That luxury belongs entirely to their ultra rich cronies & selected cronies.
