That’s one of the biggest problems with this country, all of the vindictive bastards who will keep re-electing the damned tories as long as it’s only making someone else’s life miserable. Sure, go ahead and shut down the schools, and the hospitals, and the libraries, just make sure there’s no potholes on MY commute.
And I can guarantee you most of these people still won’t have made the connection between the state of the roads and the intentional, ideological dismantling and selling off of public infrastructure and services by the party they’ve kept in power for 13 years.
They look around at the state of the place like they’re mystified by it, attribute it all to some sort of breakdown in good old fashioned british common sense, and think that if they just got rid of more of those pointless bureaucrats in local government the potholes would get fixed quick enough, like they did in the good old days.
