Dammit in reply to @hvsds

perhaps they see it as fuel for their misplaced victim complex, and can/will use it as culture-war fodder to rile up their voter-base?

Of course they will - but, if your modus operandi is to pick culture war fights constantly, doesn't it start to look a bit weak if you lose absolutely all of them?

There's no-one independent keeping score. It's just a mechanism to get Daily Mail front page headlines slagging off lefty judges, Keir Starmer, immigrants etc. Then your average red wall voter thinks "hold on, I don't like lefty judges / Keir Starmer / immigrants either..... maybe I SHOULD vote Tory"

And those people get what they asked for.

Well they don't... they get rising cost of living, manual job automation, and all the things that come with that.
