The Tories wouldn't know an honest day of hard work or "doing their duty" if it came and bribed them to their faces. Scumbags.
Every time one of them says or does pretty much anything, it makes me wonder how on Earth anybody votes for these soulless freaks and weirdos. Ah well, at least nobody who's put their penis in a dead pig's mouth is in charge of anything, right? That'd be fucking mental.
There's a delusion that happens with people who are doing well, healthwise, moneywise, career wise, that what they have is possible if you just work hard. It's why people will say to cancer sufferers "Have you tried healthy eating?" or other ridiculous things, they think that those bad things happening to other people must be their own fault.
Those people, the ones that look down on the others, who think their circumstances are their fault, they don't want stuff like the NHS, or benefits, that's just rewarding stupid decisions like getting cancer, becoming homeless, or being born in a warzone.
Spot on. They confuse their privilege with merit. They think they're wealthy because they worked, not because of the advantages they are laden with.
Like Trump with his: "It has not been easy for me, it has not been easy for me. And you know I started off in Brooklyn, my father gave me a small loan of a million dollars."
Trump is the king of missing his privilege!
