To those of you who voted Tory here’s what you’ve let us in for

lamecaptain:

• no cap on university places, meaning cramped classes of kids having to pay £9k (another of your great ideas) 
  
• yep tuition fees are going to stay at £9k and not be cut
  
• sex education will no longer be compulsory 
  
• huge cuts on the NHS mean that there will not be any one to deal with the growing numbers of teen STDs and pregnancies 
  
• the NHS could be privatised 
  
• nurses, doctors, healthcare workers will lose their jobs and possibly be unemployed for life, yes that’s right, people who spent a lot on their education will now end up in the queue at Job Centre, while on the dole
  
• I hope y’all like animal abuse because fox hunting will be legalised 
  
• people are condemned to 0 hour contracts 
  
• the Communications Data Bill will be passed which means that they will be able to look through everyone’s internet activity. everyone’s 
  
• no rent controls on newly built houses– great news, more houses! bad news, no one will be able to afford them, hooray!
  
• benefits are going to be cut drastically 
  

so well done to every single one of you who voted Tory, you’ve ruined our country by voting for the British equivalent of Mitt Romney

Why Tumblr Needs to Freak The Fuck Out About The UK Situation:

muonna:

• Our government is bringing in policies that have literally resulted in the deaths of disabled people nationwide. 
  10,600 disabled people died in the last financial year due to benefits cuts, or withdrawals, and their being forced to work. 
  A mother got away with killing her autistic children. She herself was mentally ill, but a lot of media is suggesting her children made her depressed + were a burden. Because our media is shit. See below. 
  Many cases such as this are present, where disabled people have their benefits taken away. Then die. 
  Britain’s welfare cuts are effecting the disabled massively.
• Our BBC is 80% right wing and people in the BBC have links with UKIP. This leads to anti-semitism, islamophobia, homophobia and sexism that is perpetuated by media. 
• Our government is punishing poor people.  It is also perpetuating that poor people are a drain upon the economy, whilst MPs and Bankers get paid expenses for things such as hotels, breakfast, and travel.
  Oh and they spent 235k on wine for their Christmas Party.
  And 5bn of public money on leaflets with skewed statistics.
  George Osborne is cutting welfare.
  None of these “austerity measures” have worked thus far, and they just keep on cutting.
  Cities that are already poverty stricken are being further reduced. My city is one of the poorest in the UK and it has been further affected by cuts. Also worth noting it’s got one of the highest POC/immigrant rates in the country. Coincidence? No, it’s just racism.
• Our NHS is failing the chronically ill. 
  And people with learning disabilities. (x)
  Several people have died because of incorrect medicines prescribed. 
  The NHS is also failing mentally ill people (x) (x) (x)
  Our Private care sector is riddled with abuse. (sorry for the Daily Mail article)
• The UK is the most unequal country in the entire fucking western world
  
• The UK is poorer than all of europe
• Wales is severely deprived
• Sex abuse was covered up in the BBC for years
• Our government wants to kill native species
• Our country is just as racist
• Child poverty is on the rise
• BRITAIN IS POORER THAN EVERY AMERICAN STATE EXCEPT MISSISSIPPI 
• American poverty in relation to rest of world:
• oh also here’s a bunch more links!
• widespread child sex slavery
• widespread child sex abuse cover ups
• racism in the uk is on the rise
• sexism in uk is some of the worst
• homophobia in uk is on the rise
• parliament is sexist and there aren’t enough women
• oh yeah and the uk is ableist
• child poverty is rife
• GP Surgeries are under pressure and subject to cuts
• abortion is still illegal in some regions
• OH AND THIS LITTLE FUCKING NUGGET OF FUN: GENUINE BONAFIDE FASCIST PARTIES ON THE RISE
