Hey veena!!!! im really sorry it took me so long to answer you, things were pretty hectic friday and this weekend, and happy birthday!!! was your birthday may 10th? i feel like those riots were started in your honor
ahaha no probs, and yes thanks!! Hope your weekend was alright, if u came off anon u could totally tell me about it~~~
and yes omg i have so many feeling about the riots. like people have been criticising and downplaying them (especially the media, ugh so biased) and calling the protestors ‘stupid pointless left wingers’ because ONE person defaced a war memorial. Like 1st of all, one person’s thoughtless actions do not represent a whole freaking movement, second of all it’s not ridiculous to want to revolt against a corrupt party. Yes the conservatives got a majority with the first past the post system, but they did not get a majority with representational voting AND THERE ARE MORE LEFT-WINGERS AND PEOPLE WHO VOTED TO KEEP TORIES OUT. Third of all, who the hell cares about them winning a majority anyway, this may be a stretch but let me remind you that the Nazi party got into power fair and square in Weimar Republic. SO WHAT? Doesn’t mean their policies aren’t freaking detrimental and extreme. Conservatives want to SCRAP THE HUMAN RIGHTS ACT. Yeah you read that right. Then make cuts to benefits, healthcare and the fire/police department! No one would have revolted against a labour government, yeah a few tories and rich people would have been bummed out that they had to pay a little more tax to support the people on benefits but LABOUR’S POLICIES WOULD NOT HAVE KILLED ANYONE. Tories are literally going to make people homeless and kill them. Literally. Causing. Lives. So yeah we NEED to revolt and we NEED to #GetToriesOut
