The Tories are really good at convincing people to hate them, fuck the Tories
It's very easy because the Tories have recently decided that the reason people don't like them is because they're not fascist enough, so they've doubled down and decided to be more fascist. At least trying to be, but it's difficult to be fascist when you lost power due to being awful fascists.
Weirdly people didn't want that, and so now they're even less popular.
People have always hated the Tories, however I think the recent hate can go back to a particular prime minister whose grave is now a gender neutral bathroom.
In the north of England certainly. Not sure how much people in London care about Thatcher.
I was thinking more recently about Boris and his various illegal activities. Oh and the crashing of the economy by the disability hire. Or the fact that our most recent excuse for a Tory prime minister basically allowed the Extreme right-wing free reign because he was incapable of standing up to them.
