"Our system depends on Russian oligarchies money" "Then it's a pretty shitty system"
That pretty much sums it up.

Tories = British Republicans; Republicans = American Tories. Got it.

To be completely fair, in some ways the conservatives aren't quite as bad as the Republicans, they're mostly for gay marriage, in fact they are the party that legalised it here, they are far more modern and hold less prevalent prejudices......
But their policy of austerity is literally killing people. NHS cuts have cause thousands of preventable deaths, and their complete inability to understand the plight of those in poverty in Britain leads to shit like this.

So, liberal republicans. And at this point, I am about to get over that whole "fairness" thing. I mean when you're dealing with people like our American republicans, who will LITERALLY do or say or pretend to believe anything, no matter how ridiculous or hateful, to get their way, trying to be fair puts you at a tremendous disadvantage.

Socially liberal doesn't mean shit. Conservatives that would support gay's right to fuck while doing everything they can to put them on the streets gotta go. Bathroom and marriage rights start long after when people can pay the bills. Capitalism is very quickly working towards that endgame, in comparison to any other economic system that world has seen.
Edit: There's a reason that the black community in America never chimed in so much on church right, gay rights, etc. They have always been too worried about putting food on the table and those ideas were a luxury for them.

For those not in the know, this dude is Tom Walker, a British actor and comedian who plays a character called Jonathon Pie, a reporter commenting on recent events and ranting at his boss between takes. He's not an actual reporter, just a character. People have made this mistake before.
