A sizeable portion of our electorate are fucking stupid. The problem is that they do not want to be reminded that they are fuckin stupid. They hold their stupidity close, and woe betide anyone who reminds them that their stupidity has given us Austerity light with a Lib/Con coalition, a self harming/self inflicted Brexit decsion enabled by a pig fucking Eton spiv, full fat austerity once the patsies had been removed, a pathalogical narcissistic liar and now another spiv who is so intent on lining the pockets of his rich friends that he would take a torch to what remains of our public services.
This is why so many politicians find it hard to be honest. If they were truly honest, they would say it's your fault you fucking lunatic, you voted for this.
