My Dad was able to buy a house, have two kids, pay the bills, we were middle class on one salary. We had same day GP, ambulances within mins, dentists, good education, good public transport, clean beaches and rivers. Now even two salaries would struggle. And thanks to Tories the UKs gone to SHIT.

Are you fucking ok on the right? Youβre going mad because high skill workers like Drs are leaving but you had the AUDACITY to call them greedy. They went to Uni for YEARS only to be paid Β£14ph. They even pay their own parking but Iβm sure MPs are covered for thatβ¦ right?

They donβt care about hundreds of thousands living on the streets this Christmas. You see the right claim to be Christian, yet show no signs of it. You happily judge and condemn others, yet demand forgiveness for yourselves. You are hypocrites of the worst kind. Merry Christmas!

Whyβs the argument always farmers are crucial because they feed our countryβ¦ and not NHS staff are crucial for our countryβs health, not teachers are crucial for our kids education, not social care are crucial for our elderly? Thereβs more than farmers holding us together you know.
