Turkeys voting for Christmas alert. Just the people who the Tories would have happy to see die from Covid. Stupid, stupid idiots.

Got to question the political strategy of killing off your core voters too, but I didn't have an expensive education so I am probably missing the point.

Good to see the younger generation seeing sense. Hopefully, it results in these ghouls never getting into power for a generation.

maybe the tories and johnson actually have the interests of the country at heart after all and killing off their voters who helped destroy the UK is their good deed!
See Jeremy See U Next Tuesday gonna giveth with one hand and take with the other, Tory Scum!
……’compassionate Tories’ bandied about by the Chancellor, all I could think of was witnesses at the Covid enquiry stating the then PM and Chancellor said of the vulnerable, ‘let them die’.
Typical election budget today. Big tax relief for businesses and tax cuts (NI) rushed through in January ahead of a potential May election.

BBC Chief Economics Correspondent:
Don’t be fooled by the tax cuts.
The tax burden - the percentage of the nation's income going to the taxman - is still set to rise to a post-war high, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
It says the largest contribution to that is the freezing of most income tax thresholds, so they don’t rise with inflation.
That so-called fiscal drag (the "drag" comes from people being dragged into higher tax brackets than they otherwise would have been) will net the Treasury £45bn by 2029 and create four million new income tax payers, according to the OBR.
Compare that £45bn gain to the cut in the main National Insurance Contribution rate - which will cost the treasury £10bn.
In effect, that tax cut is being funded by raiding our paycheques.
