The word ‘Tory,’ commonly used to refer to a member of the Conservative Party of UK and Canada, comes from the Irish Gaelic word ‘tóraidhe,’ meaning outlaw or robber.
As fun as it is to clown on the coronation, everyone, please, PLEASE keep your focus on the ones who decided to spend millions on it.
Our government could have said no and insisted on a smaller coronation/cheaper one or made it so the money came from royal funds, but they didn't. One; because the members of the Conservative party are actual scum and are quite happy to watch the country crash and burn as long as they can line their pockets. And two; it's because it's a good distraction regardless of where you land on the anti/pro monarchy scale. With people focusing on that, they are less likely to pay attention to the fact that the tories spent £3billion on a migrant scheme that doesn't work... Clowning on charles and the coronation may be fun, but they aren't the true rot that is destroying the country.
Remain strong. The Conservatives have lost badly in the local council elections (despite their attempts at voter suppression in the form of visual ID ) But there's no guarantee that they will be ousted in the next election.
Keep fighting, keep protesting and remember that at the end of the day, it's our government who decided to spend millions on the coronation while millions of people starve and struggle.
for the love of God, VOTE AND BRING YOUR ID WITH YOU!!!
god watching the debate in the commons is horrendous - i know most of them are spineless fucking cowards but it's also fucking infuriating watching them say " we can only ask for a ceasefire if hamas stop fighting!!!" - HAMAS HAVE REPEATEDLY PUT FORWARD CEASEFIRE AGREEMENTS THAT /ISRAEL/ HAS FUCKING REJECTED
"we said that it should be able to eradicate hamas" what the actual fuck "it sends an intolerable message that using human shields first" have you fucking met the occupation?? oh wait that was robert jenrick what a fucking shocker
also watching labour move and decide to "soften" the SNP's motion is fucking disgusting - them removing the phrase collective punishment is fucking appalling, showing starmer's usual tory lite attitude
Mhairi Black is up and making excellent points - I don't understand how anyone with a fucking heart can disagree with ANYTHING she says
With the way its going especially with ableism that has been made worse with transphobia it won't be long until the tories are trying to ban disabled people from social media twitter has created a disability community on here plus there is all the scare mongering about
tik tok and self diagnosis and the ridiculous idea that people are trying to get autism/adhd diagnosis for clout.
