Here’s a look back at just some of the government’s many failings, a day after Oliver Letwin’s leaked memo reminded us what we all know, that the Tories hate poor people.
This ginormous, blatant stitch up of a right wing press backed government gets away with murder and needs to be held to account by all corners of society.
The majority of us are fortunate enough that we don’t feel the government’s actions directly impacting our day to day lives but in the grand scheme of things, they adversely affect us all. We can’t pass a blind eye. It’s a matter of morality and ethics.
My views towards the Tories are well known, but this isn’t even about the support of one party over another. The actions of any government and party needs to be challenged, by both its supporters and opposition.
It is our duty to engage in how the country is being run. Don’t let one newspaper tell you what to think, find out who your MP is, get your issues heard, connect with your local community and encourage dialogue amongst friends and family. https://www.writetothem.com/
