I have, of course, been watching the coverage of the UK election quite a bit recently, and I can’t help noticing something which has cropped up again and again. Whenever he has been interviewed or asked anything, surely it is obvious that Rishi Sunak always tries to drag the issue back to tax. No matter what he is asked to talk about, the current PM always makes the point that Labour will put up tax if they are elected, as if the very idea is an anathema which everyone will want to avoid. If you ask me, this small trait tells us all we need to know about Sunak and the Tories in general: they are people who are only in it for theirselves, and who resent contributing to wider society via taxation or any other means. To them, money is theirs to be hoarded rather than used to contribute to the wider community, even if that means letting the poorest, most vulnerable people in society go without the help they need. Given it is our primary means of contributing to society, improving it and making sure nobody goes without, paying tax should be cherished, not begrudged. Tories are thus like spoiled children who were never taught to share, keeping all their toys for their selves and throwing a paddy whenever any other child wants something to play with. That’s why Sunak thinks people will be scared about tax increases, not realising that by making the point, he’s betraying himself as the vile, selfish, money-hoarding scumbag he is.
