Tories are torturing and killing their own citizens.
What are you going to do about it? Austerity is a fascist policy choice. The Govt's hands are soaked in blood. In 1955 Anthony Fisher founded the IEA think tank, he was advised to never disclose its libertarian partisan agenda as it would be hugely unpopular with the public and the IEA would lose its charity status, and here we are in 2023#EnoughlsEnough

Unions are now criminalized for daring to demand pay rises in line with inflation, yet private sector workers disputes are settled sensibly. Anything to do with the public sector is a target for ruthless libertarian attacks...during times of exceptional crisis.

Hunt the 'tech bro' promises to turn the “UK into the world’s next Silicon Valley, made possible by Brexit”
this will only favour the saver-investor class, deregulation will tailor laws to allow the private sector to literally get away with murder, subjugation chaos and disorder.

Hunt's measures will ensure capital accumulation's counter offensive profits from hobbling the working and middle classes of decent pay/rights/working conditions. Impersonal laws of the market weaponized. Mogg's REUL Bill will unleash absolute corporate control beyond Govt reach.

Austerity=depoliticization of the economic to create a division between politics and the economy. It hinges on the Tories libertarian ideology of private property, extreme profiteering from subjugating the labour force and shutting down all those who oppose. This is inequality.

For inequality to function, libertarian experiments in austerity are made during times of crisis, when people are in shock. Tories know peoples defenses are down and will submit to brutal policies without protest as they are desperate to get by so they take crumbs from the table.

You need a compliant msm to perpetuate and distract, demonize and blame 'the other' for societies ills, the judiciary, lawyers, foreigners, academics, artists, experts and intellectuals, cue Brexit. A common stealth tactic is avoiding democratic scrutiny of economic decisions.

Libertarian right have established consensus around a theory of economics as 'objective' and 'neutral' that transcends class relations by absolving Parliament of all debate, reducing PMQs to a pointless ritual, a regime of anti-governance tailored for free market fundamentalists.

Unchecked governance has paved the way for austerity measures, this segues into fascism.
2 buckets - 1 is Govt deficit, 2 is non Govt surplus. 90% Tax goes into Govt bucket, this goes on public spending.
10% surplus in 2. Govt deficit is -10%
Tories hate this, so they steal your taxes and subsidize ruthless corporate hegemony.
