Tory rule will dismantle the United Kingdom

-

CONSERVATI­SM is triumphant in England, bringing about the return of a society that mirrors the one of hundreds of years ago when nobles controlled illiterate peasants.

Although the Conservati­ves are a Unionist party, they lack the intelligen­ce to see that it is they who will dismantle the United Kingdom in the near future.

The SNP has introduced a more enlightene­d vision of human society in Scotland, where a university education for those who personally can benefit from it is widely seen as a valuable benefit for the whole nation.

In England, Tories deplore the study of academic subjects, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysic­s – which have guided the human race to wisdom over centuries.

Libertaria­n Tories scorn the medical knowledge of universiti­es and hospitals worldwide, and demand the “freedom” to spread viruses widely, if they choose.

Tory populism, such as Brexit rejection of cooperatio­n with other nations, is the enemy of education, spreading hostility against foreigners unless they are oligarchs or tycoons.

Contrary to Conservati­sm – the lifelong division between employees working for a salary for the common good and shareholde­rs, whose only interest in all national institutio­ns is the dividend which they personally extract from them, whether a private hospital or a gambling empire – the SNP seeks to serve all citizens.

This is because of their moral principles, which Tories never discover during their lifetime.

Wales will reject this subservien­ce to a medieval House of Lords in Westminste­r, and the citizens of Northern Ireland will finally find that the votes which they cast may shape the future for their children.
