Tory voters need to get real

Tory voters feel betrayed by Tory government - or so it seems.

The government is squandering billions on HS2, a planned high speed rail link between London and Birmingham.  This new line will apparently blight the lives of many people living along the route, and I will take their word for it.  It appears also that very few of them are in line for any compensation.

It appears also that many of them are Conservative voters, and I can believe that.  Melissa Kite of the Daily Mail tells us of her father:

A lifelong Tory voter, he was convinced that a Conservative Prime Minister would do the right thing and treat him fairly.

The last Tory government ruined the lives of millions of people.  Many suffered long term unemployment, many were victims of crime and anti-social behaviour, and some even had to live rough on the streets.  How many of these people were treated fairly by the government?  How many were paid compensation?

I have a simple message for Melissa Kite's father, and for other Tory voters.  If the Tories are nasty to other people - and they are - then do not be surprised when they are also nasty to you.
