This didn't need a fucking think-tank. The poor in Britain have known this for a looong fucking time. They bore the brunt of every spending cut enacted by the Tories for the past 20 years.
And I feel bad for those of them that didn’t vote Tory in the last couple of elections and didn’t vote for Brexit. The rest of them were turkeys voting for Christmas and the fact that they’re surprised about this means they’ll probably vote Tory next time too and think their problems are still due to immigrants…
Not to exclusively blame them, of course. Tory scum are the root of all the problems and the sooner we take them out and shoot them, the better for everyone.
I can't say I blame the voters all that much. They've been manipulated to fuck by right wing media for decades, not helped by the fact that left wing options were either complete bumblefucks or snake oil salesmen that went back on their word the moment they got into office (libdems).
I do blame the Tories though, absolutely.
