I believe that the world CAN be better.
The way it "is" is not the only way and the "choices given" are not the only ones available.

So basically, lots of Tories, who were in power, are now blaming the Tories for everything they did, and coalescing into .. The Tories.

This is a very good point. If you judge the BBC on just the news or even a few episodes of Question Time, you're missing the big picture. Look at the entirety of its output on TV, radio and online and you'll see its a valuable asset to not just the UK but the whole world.
The BBC is not BBC news.

I'd say it's giving total control of a nation and the lives of millions to a totally unqualified man or woman.

When it comes to appraising wealth inequality and those who balk at any tax rises, it's dead simple..
A poor person taxed another 5% may fail to eat.
A rich person taxed another 20% will still eat.
Data in Percentages is a tool that benefits the top earners and threatens the poor every time.

We were born on a planet abundant enough for everyone to thrive…
But the rich and powerful carved it up, waged war on what they couldn’t own, called it scarcity
…and sold us the illusion that we must compete for crumbs.

When the RAF rent jets from corporate hedge funds, you know that war has left the arena of "Justice for nations" and moved into accounting and humans have become " loss lines"
The RAF jets redecorated by PA are owned by a hedge fund. The only way such an arrangement makes sense is for the state to provide a revenue stream for the rich.

For millennia, the natural world played host to mankind, then we decided that we played host to the natural world almost overnight and nature was relegated to "resource"; that is selling the sand of the island we stand upon.
