It really is. I think the UK are something like the 6th richest country in the world and we have people queuing for food because they can’t afford to buy it themselves. The generosity of others is what’s keeping people alive while the government are awarding billions to their mates. It’s scandalous.Quote:

“MASK HAS SLIPPED” AS TORY CANDIDATE ATTACKS NHS & PUBLIC SECTOR STAFF
TORY CANDIDATE SLAMMED FOR ‘GROSSLY INAPPROPRIATE’ MESSAGES
The SNP has said the “Tory mask has slipped” ahead of the Holyrood election in May - after a Tory candidate was slammed for attacking the pay of the NHS staff and vital frontline workers keeping Scotland safe during the pandemic.
Sue Webber, who is the Tory candidate for Edinburgh Western, praised the decision to freeze public sector pay, saying it was “about time” and that she “was thinking about a vote-winning policy called salary sacrifice where they only get 80 per cent and have to struggle like the others on furlough.”
She also claimed that “media and many politicians” were “creating panic and fear" over COVID-19 and appeared to play down the pandemic, saying “people die…more people die in winter.”
Tory activists labelled the messages as “proper nasty Tory stuff” and revealed that party bosses ignored concerns about the candidate being placed in second place on the Tories’ Lothian region list.
SNP candidate for Edinburgh Central Angus Robertson said:
“To see a Tory candidate suggest docking the pay of all those who have been on the frontline keeping public services going during this pandemic is a disgrace.
"Frontline workers have been working day-in day-out to keep Scotland safe from COVID-19, and Ms Webber's attempt to downplay the fight against this virus does a total disservice to them.
“It is no surprise a person with these toxic views is standing for the party of Boris Johnson and Douglas Ross, it speaks volumes about the Tories.
“The Tory mask has well and truly slipped and the party has a duty to address these comments. It's hard to see how Ms Webber can now remain as a candidate.
“This is the most important election in Scotland’s history, and it comes down to a stark choice – who should decide the country’s future. Should it be the people of Scotland or Boris Johnson?"
nasty tory ****, i despise the *******s
Further evidence that it's Tory policy to starve the working classes.Quote:

Tory MP branded 'callous' after claiming £1 expenses for parking to visit food bank - Mirror Online
A Tory MP has been accused of “callousness” after he claimed £1 on expenses for a visit to a food bank.
Royston Smith, the MP for Southampton Itchen, registered a claim to pay for car parking during a food bank visit in November last year, according to official records.
Predictable would be the obvious word to meQuote:

Did you watch the last Panorama? My take on it was that the whole PPE shortage last year was manufactured so that the government could create a list of 47 companies to throw money at to solve a problem that they had created. The government have admitted there was a list of preferred companies but refuse to name them. And all that time there were UK companies that had PPE equipment in storage and available who were completely ignored despite them having informed the government that they had equipment that was good to go.Quote:
