When future #historians look back at the period 2010-2024, how will they balance in their analysis the following factors, when analysing the policies & actions of the successive #Tory administrations of this period?
a. incompetence
b. ignorance (stupidity)
c. corruption
d. strategy (to include enrichment of particular groups)
c. & d. many well be linked but one can also see political scenarios where d. is the result of ideology not corruption.
(This work has, of course, already started!)

Apologies for the tangent.
But IMO the underpinning ethos of the Tory Party is that it is the natural party of government.
Everything else flows from that.
- Corruption, well, not ideal but acceptable if it's not too blatant.
- Incompetence, well not really, can't be, he's One Of Us, a natural ruler.
- Ignorance? don't be silly, it's obvious we know best.
- Strategy towards particular groups: Maybe. Groups must accept Tories' divine right.

100% 👍
Tories believe in a natural order - not just to rule but to profit.
Everything and everyone is there for them to use for personal gain. It's a mockery to call them "conservative" when they only conserve their power and exploit the rest.
