  1. There seems to be far more for Tory party MPs and donors.

  2. Sorry to break it to you, but this Johnson government, the Vote Leave government, is the furthest to the right the Tories have been in generations.

  3.  @englishjon8637  The Tories are a wannabe fascist government. They are implementing corporate fascism. Fascism is defined as the alignment of power, nationalism, and authoritarian government. Some examples: - Powerful and Continuing Nationalism: the Tory culture war, police protecting statues, defacing a statue results in greater prison time than offences against people. - Disregard for human rights: people are more likely to approve of longer incarcerations of prisoners, they want to scrap the Human Rights Act. - Obsession with crime & punishment: for example the recent Policing, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, making protests essentially illegal. - Obsession with national security. - Religion and ruling elite tied together: for example the blocking of anti-capitalist teaching in schools. - A controlled mass media: the UK media is controlled by a handful of right wing billionaires, now we have GB News, Rupert Murdoch’s News UK TV, former Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre potentially heading-up the media regulator Ofcom, and a Tory donor being put in charge of the BBC. The Tories want to privatise Channel 4 and defund the BBC. - Identification of enemies/scape-goats as a unifying cause: From immigrants to Muslims to disabled people, the UK establishment has always had “enemies” and “scape-goats”. Now, we’re seeing left-wing activists, Black Lives Matter, Extinction Rebellion and the “woke” being the target. - Rampant sexism - Power of corporations protected: corporate tax is one of the lowest in the world, there are numerous tax avoidance loop holes and tax havens. - Power of labour unions suppressed or eliminated - Rampant cronyism and corruption: this was off-the-scale during the pandemic. - Disrespect towards intellectuals & the arts - Fraudulent elections: the 2015 General Election and 2016 EU referendum were marred by allegations of election fraud. The Tories have said they want to redraw constituencies to give themselves further advantage in the first-past-the-post system. The Tories want to bring in Voter ID to make it harder for people to vote (there was no voter fraud). It’s disturbing these Tories aren’t far enough to the right for you. You must be a fanatic.

  4.  @englishjon8637  Give me some examples of left wing policies by these far right Tories.

  5. Yes and also corporations. We have one of the lowest corporation tax in the world. Plus close all the tax avoidance loop holes, end tax havens.
