I don't mean to simplify the discussion, but this is what tends to happen when we vote for a Tory prime minister.
And it makes me sick.
We spend more money on obese patients than the unemployed, yet it is socially acceptable to refer to those on welfare as 'leeches' and 'scum of the earth'. (I'm just quoting what I hear)
The public are brainwashed to hate those on benefits, and things need to be put into perspective.
Don't even mention the word immigrant. Right wing and racism seem to go hand in hand.
On top of that, Scotland has to follow these right wing laws, like the bedroom tax which is clearly discriminatory, even though we have literally one Tory mp.
Apologies for the rant, but I'm genuinely terrified. If things continue like this, I'm moving out of the UK, or voting independence, which would be a shame. I want as little to do with right wing politicians as possible. At least Scotland is still relatively more sympathetic, for now. Particularly towards those in the lower class seeking an education. I'm not trying to score points, I just want a better life.
