“It was the left that ruined Truss’s budget!” Was the genuine reaction of someone I talked to about this a while ago. Could not believe it nor understand it. Still can’t.
I assume they think the bank of England and international investors are to left wing.
It is basically what lettuce brain is claiming. Also a common hiding point for extream right wing supporters. We are not wrong the world is out to get us and refuses to give our ideas a real chance.
IE democracy is out to get us unless we try to limit the left from actually acting.
One of the things you could do is calculate towards understandable numbers. Per tax payer in Britain (32 million) it would cost ~1150 for that first item on the list. Imagine the amount of dinghies you can buy per person for the lot of these. Billion just isn’t that magnitude to most people.
Anyone got a source for this financial mismanagement by the Tories? I need to convince a Tory voter to not vote Tory.
I’d imagine if the whole shitshow hasn’t been enough to convince them to stay at home, then some facts are unlikely to sway them.
Anyway, you can try the Scandalous Spending Tracker which links to a PDF that breaks the numbers down with sources.
I should think this meme is enough for most voters, no?
Sadly not for a lifelong Tory voter in their 70s.

Oh yes, you can regularly hear The Internationale being belted out around the City of London on a Friday night…
