next time you say you feel bad for boris johnson, please just remember this (a thread) :

July 2019: Philip Herron, a single dad, also committed suicide with just £4.61 in his bank account because universal credit failed yet another person, AGAIN, and pushed someone into crippling debt, AGAIN. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/metro.co.uk/2019/07/21/dad-34-took-his-own-life-after-wait-for-universal-credit-left-him-with-4-61-10434856/amp/

I could go on and on. There are THOUSANDS of cases like this. There are hundreds of thousands of people waiting to receive benefits they are NEVER going to get, because this Government have failed them. Again, and again, and again.
Since the Conservatives took power in 2010 and began changing the benefits schemes, there has been 120,000 deaths. Austerity is at an all time high, with 5 in every 1000 babies not making it to 5 years old because they live in poverty.
I don’t wish death upon Boris Johnson. But I sure as fucking HELL do not feel bad for a man who’s politics and policies are responsible for “economic murder.” I cannot feel sympathy for a man who’s friend and himself have LAUGHED at government cuts,
who have cheered and celebrated when the nurses and emergency workers they now rely on were told they would not get a pay rise.
WHERE are your tweets of anger when the MPs sitting in parliament, and the people that support them, tell those who are struggling that it’s THEIR fault. Where are your tweets when you find out that Dominic Raab told those using foodbanks that they have a “cash flow problem.”
WHERE was Boris Johnson’s sympathy for the disabled man who died from starvation, or for the dad who killed himself, or the man who sliced his throat from fear of going onto benefits because he’d rather DIE than live like that.
HE. DOES. NOT. FUCKING. CARE. None of them do. They never fucking have, and they never fucking will. Just because you’re a fan of him now because you think he’s handling COVID-19 “well” - he’s not - does NOT mean you can tell others how to feel.
Don’t you dare, EVER tell people that they’re horrible or “inhumane” for not sympathising with him. They are evil, evil people, with so much blood on their hands, and he will NEVER get my sympathy, or my “prayers” or my “get well soon wishes.” Now fuck off.
before another person comes at me, maybe you should read this :)
can the tories get out of my mentions please no one likes you cause you have all the grace of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on now DO ONE
young people: if the tories cared about you, they would have made tuition free. they would have attempted to raise the minimum wage. they would listen to demands of acting on the climate emergency. but they don’t care about you. so take your straw out of their arses thank you

apparently the replies are filled with horrible insults (I wouldn’t know, I muted them ages ago). But do keep the insults coming while you tell me I’m a horrible person - we’ve got another month in isolation at LEAST and I for one am loving it. Bite harder x
