Woke but not awake
Apparently the Tory faithful are outraged by the failure of the police to catch criminals; but believe it has nothing to do with cutting their numbers by 20,000 and everything to do with them attending Pride marches on their day off.
This is the perfect example of the disconnect between a party that has been in power for 12 years and a failing state. Nothing that has gone wrong can be the fault of the Conservatives as their ideology is pure and right and true.
Police efficiency, the NHS, social care, even Brexit; all are working well or would if only woke traitors weren’t sabotaging the government, wasting money on a huge scale and destroying “white culture”.
Nor do I see any of this changing, the Tories obviously think they can survive the coming crisis by blaming immigration or starting a trade war with the EU; distraction politics to some; reality for them.
This will doubtless appeal to their base but how will it sound to a red wall family with no heating? Selfish posturing, uncaring, cynical, irrelevant?
We just don’t know, but they do seem to be underestimating, if not ignoring the crisis heading their way. While Tory ideology forbids the obvious, necessary measures.
Maybe they will wake up, but I doubt it.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
