The New Tories - Ruthlessly Incompetent. Post Examples of Tory Stupidity Here

Tories at play

"Things can sometimes not go to plan. Obviously there was a little bit more that went down," he said.
"I spoke to the two guys afterwards. We had discussions and obviously that will not be happening again."
He admitted the event "wasn't everyone's cup of tea", adding: "We have apologised but how many times do you say sorry? How many times do you have to be penalised in life?"
Footage taken during the event showed the two performers being cut with the gardening tool and having glass lighting tubes smashed over them as the audience of about 80 people watched on just yards from the violence.
Children can be seen and heard amongst the audience and several adults filmed the show on mobile phones.

 
Complete scumbag. Some of the replies are interesting:


Any morsel of truth that obnoxious statement should lead to whomever has been in charge of education which has been the tories extensive periods

Meanwhile I parliaments numerous dining facilities are tax payer subsidised oh and MPs gave themselves a higher pay increase than the rest of the public sector
 
In the mid 1990s, working in India, I was struck by the wealth and opulence of middle class Bangalore and the stark contrast of the situation of those in my village 20km from the city, let alone those surviving on rubbish tips near the main railway station.

25 years later it appears that the UK is steadily heading in the same direction. One's circumstances are just the 'natural order', any criticism is 'class war'. Parasites are role models. Poverty is an individual failing rather than a collective disgrace.

The mass gaslighting of people trying to survive the zero-sum game of neoliberalism.

I've been feeling low lately. I don't see our way out :(
 
So, I’ve been wondering what the underlying reasons were for the Daily Mail’s relentless attacks on civil servants working from home. This clears it up.

At a point where most governments, of all political hues, accept the need for a stronger and more active state to address the post pandemic economic conditions (or even to divert public money towards capital) cutting 100,000 civil service jobs is mind numbingly stupid.

The Guardian headline initially was "to tackle cost of living crisis" which puzzled me. Now they've changed it to "free up money for tax cuts". Which will no doubt be most benefit to the well off.

And loads of consultants will doubtless be taken on at higher actual cost to replace the civil servants unless of course they're involved with unimportant things like benefits when nobody will be taken on.
 
I’ve had a look at the PCSU website and there is no comment from the union which is odd.

Even odder is that, even if the Tories plan to do this through ‘natural wastage’ and a recruitment ban it’s significantly economically illiterate.

It takes jobs out of the economy. As Two Sheds says it actively makes the cost of living crisis worse by removing staff who administer benefits, tax credits etc.

As a strategy weakening the state when every other capitalist economy is doing the opposite is revealing of just how bankrupt, clueless and out of idea the Johnson administration really is.

The lack of recognition that the post pandemic reorganisation of the economy: rescue-repair-recovery, domestic demand, post neo-liberal growth waves demands a stronger, more active state actor is proof that the Tories are useless even at understanding their own system.

This is historically the point where capital recognises that a Labour Government is needed - and that it’s soft social democratic programme will provide the diversion of public money into capitals coffers it needs to keep money moving around.

Yeh they've been waiting for an excuse to cut civil service jobs for ages and 'freeing up money for tax cuts' is it.
