we can repeatedly ask the questions on here as progressive voices do of reactionaries in the media but you will never get a straight answer from tories/neoliberals or the very wealthy. they utilise the media to tell their side for them and as it is inevitably against progress, equality and decent humanity they will always evade, obfuscate and chuck dead cats around. of course they need our votes but these will never be won by reasoned argument just by lies and smears and war and threats of war. tories (and the like) are of no conceivable use or benefit to people other than their greedy friends- it was ever thus.
