The Tories Must Go

In all seriousness, I think this country needs to take some kind of nonviolent collective action to sever the Conservative Party from power immediately. It is becoming clearer and clearer that this group of people is totally unfit to govern. They are now openly discussing withdrawing the UK from international human rights laws so that they can implement their savage, inhumane anti-immigration policies. People are coming here, looking for a better life, often fleeing intolerable violence and persecution; but instead of welcoming and supporting such people as any civilised country would, the Tories want to deport them to Rwanda in order to look tough and appeal to the deranged bigots who can’t stand anyone who they see as different coming to this country. On top of that, because such horrifying policies would violate international human rights law, the Tories now want to withdraw the UK from that law, effectively stripping us all of our rights and safeguards so that they can deport these refugees without fear that they might appeal.

Surely that is not who we are as a country or community; surely that is not where we, as a nation, have descended to. We are an open, tolerant society who should welcome people coming here looking for help, not savagely turning our backs on them. Above all, we should be the sort of civilised, educated society who holds things like civil rights and international law above all else. We know all too well that, without such safeguards we can effectively be run roughshod over. Yet now that we have been torn out of the European Union by a bunch of idiots who didn’t realise what they were voting for, the Tories think they have free reign to do as they wish with our rights. They think they can do what they want with all our hard-earned safeguards, treating minorities and immigrants like dirt and ignoring anyone whom they don’t see as ‘one of them’.

Unless we take action immediately we risk losing it all. It is now quite clear that the Tories don’t care whose rights they rip up, as long as they can enact their regressive, xenophobic policies. I realise this may sound rather extreme, undemocratic, or even mad, but we really need to do something to force this party from office immediately. As a group of people they are totally unfit to govern, caring only about themselves and those like them. They perceive the world in simplistic, anachronistic terms, far too limited and unenlightened for any modern, western democracy. Again, this is not who ‘we’ as a country are; the Tories do not represent us. Surely there must be some action we can take before theis bunch of charlatans goes too far and strips us all of our rights.
