I swear they are getting worse. The already turbulent waters
of social media are becoming a frothing, churning maelstrom of increasingly
fantastic claims by the left about the motives and morals of Conservative
voters. Every individual instance of less than the politically determined
amount of bleeding heart compassion for all god’s creatures is seized upon as
proof positive that the Tory heart is a black and evil one. The meme-o-sphere
is alight with indignation and disturbed imaginings.
“Yes! We’ll bring
back fox hunting! Because nothing says ‘Tory mindset and values’ quite as
clearly as taking pleasure in the ritualistic slaughter of terrified woodland
animals!” shouts the slogan on the photoshopped side of a Conservative
Party branded mug. No doubt, in the fevered imagination of the acolytes of
Corbyn, tea-towels exist which proudly depict the prone corpse of a newly shot peasant,
his former master posing with one foot on an upturned buttock, an ear-to-ear
grin on his face, while his beaters flush out a newly created orphan, just for the
sport.
Oh yes, the Tories believe in taking pleasure in cruelty
at least as much as The Labours want to barcode everybody, implant electrodes
in their brains and link them up to the Matrix, mere cogs in the machinery of
state. Were anybody on the nominally right-wing side of the argument to
actually believe any such thing, one could say that both positions are
ludicrous, each side believing the horror-tales of their own narrative, but I
don’t think any such equivalence exists. For a start, given that on-balance
Tory voters are net payers-in to the state, they are far too busy managing their
own lives to be overly concerned about what the net recipients actually think
about them.
Watching the ravings of the left is just an amusing
diversion for us. We wish them no harm, as much as they love to tell each other
of their brutish manhandling at the hands of ‘Tory Austerity’. In truth they
are more to be pitied than derided because whereas Tories believe in hard work,
thrift, family, country and the pursuit of individual betterment, Labour
devotees appear to still be waiting for a government to do everything for them,
as they have been led to believe is their entitlement.
Cruella May plots ways to torture the poor*
Come 8th June the country will decide and it
will decide to hand a decisive majority to Mrs May. As for The Labours, they’ve
been waiting a hundred and seventeen years so far... another two or three terms
won’t be any problem. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to put another wog on
the fire.
