Hate to tell you but there are Tories and Tory voters who’ll totally agree with those comments and that includes so-called ‘working class Tories’.
It’s also completely silly because on one hand their telling you to accept measly payrises on the condition of staff cuts and then moaning about people on benefits. Where do you think the staff being cut are going to end up?
the word ‘projection’ comes to mind.
They know their voters well enough to know they will agree with that statement though. The Mail and similar papers love to moan about young people not wanting to slave away 25 hours a day, eight days a week to afford a cardboard box; their readers fill comments sections of those articles with similar statements. Tory voters seem to think they have a monopoly on work ethic, either because they think Millennials and Gen Z have none or because they think the ‘liberal elite’ want to get everything for nothing. It won’t haunt Liz Truss, she will be able to use it as a battle cry.
Im honestly fine with it. The contract got broken, hard work doesn’t get rewarded, people don’t get what they deserve and the only thing workers do is make other people richer.
I just wish I could get away with doing even less.
Those politicians are so hard working… said nobody ever!
Why would anyone work hard when hard work is not rewarded? If I’m going to be poor and suffering either way, may as well save energy.
Not to mention that most benefits claimants are in full-time work.
When I really think about it, Rishi would piss off the racists and Labour aren’t ready for much either way, so we should try to get Rishi in. It’ll stop racists from voting in any meaningful way because they won’t know where to turn!
Liz Truss, the still breast-fed 38 year old thinking man’s wank bank
All that this clips shows is that she’s a Tory, and since the people voting in the the leadership election are tories that’s not exactly going to haunt her.
Are idlers the same as loafers or layabouts?
She denied writing that chapter, said it was a multi author book and she did the chapter on education. Will we ever really know
It should haunt all of them but it doesn’t and won’t.
It didn’t haunt her former boss who put her and all the other authors of that book in high positions of power.
Britannia Unchained is the fucking guidebook for every single decision the Tory party has made since it was written.
EVERYTHING they’ve done adds up to achieve what this manifesto sets out: turning the UK into a work powerhouse like China, at the expense of the working and middle class’s rights and quality of life.
Tories jerk off to comments like that. This will only increase her support.
