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.
