Ten facts that prove right-wingers are not the sharpest tools in the box.
- Imagine how thick you’d have to be to believe the Tories are paying off the country’s debts:
- And you’d have to be pretty dense, surely, to read the Daily Mail and think it’s social media that’s brain-washing people with fake news and propaganda:
.
- Right-wingers are also so gullible they think a “working-class fightback against the global elite” can be launched from the inside of a gold-clad elevator:
- And they’re so thick, they think it was Gordon Brown not bankers that caused the 2008 global economic crisis (the clue’s in the word global, guys):
.
- And you can’t be very intelligent if you believe the best way for Britain to lead the world on trade … is to leave the world’s biggest trading block:
.
- And how dopey would you need to be to think the NHS crisis was caused by immigration, not lack of funding:
.
- Amazingly, right-wingers seem to believe Theresa May’s claims she will help struggling working people:
.
- And intelligence can’t be your strong point if you think the best way to ‘incentivise’ disabled people to find a job is to take their mobility away from them:
- Right-wingers think it’s the immigrants who need to learn to speak English properly. Clearly not…
.
- And they apparently seriously believe the country’s best post-Brexit economic plan is to sell tea, jam and biscuits to the rest of the world (sold direct from our tea plantations in Essex presumably):
.
I rest my case …

I deactivated twitter account, just could not stomach the right wing tosh posted by characters such as @screwlabour (now silent because he has a job in the real world as opposed to wandering the groves of academia). Also harassed for a while by a Tory supporting buffoon who used to rejoice at public sector job cuts, whilst enjoying the considerable fruits of some private sector “directorship” . A long overdue dose of straight, unvarnished fact, thanks Tom, proud of you.

Yes that’s all good stuff but until the Mail, Express, Sun, Times, Telegraph, etc. print this and Sky news spreads the word Tory voters prefer comfortable lies to unpalatable truths.

One fact that proves Tom Pride is thicker that right wingers. Nobody can claim a faction of people are either one thing or another. A faction of people is made up of people with many different amounts of intellect.
Then to add to the stupidity of the statement goes on to use newspapers to “prove” five of his reasons. If Tom Pride believes everything he reads in the newspapers he really is thick.
To provide a graph that shows the the Labour Party increasing the national debt by 100% over the last 5 years of power and leaving the country in such a destitute situation that it’s taken the Tories 6 years to bring spending back under control. That’s thick.
Is Tom Pride so gulible to believe anyone gives a dam if he shows a picture of two people who are having a laugh in a lift, then put up a meaningless quote as at least one of the two people is unelected and has no power to help the working class people.
Only “dopey” people do not realise that the reason for the lack of resources for the NHS is due to the Labour Party recklessly plowing money into the NHS without checking it was getting value for money and then losing power once the cupboard was bear. You only have to look at the graph you cited for your first reason too see the Tories would have had to borrow even more money. You seem to want it both ways. Do you want to complain about the national debt or lack of funding for the NHS.
Or are you thick enough to think money grows on trees.
Amazingly some people change their attitudes over 20 years. Some people who are not thick, learn and grow as they go through life, while others just stick the head in the sand and then shout everyone else is thick.
As to showing a grammatically incorrect sign and implying that it was held by a “right winger” when many, many left wing voters hold the views written on the placard. Then to be so thick to believe that because someone has bad grammar means that they lack intelligence. There are many illiterate people who are highly intelligent.

Interestingly, how a personal attack on Tom is used to try and make a point or two. No doubt Tom has a thick skin. At least Tom does not censor contributions like the above, unlike the “Toryista” Country Squire blog that will not even countenance soft left dissidents like me posting our views.By the way cupboards are usually “bare”, and money is “ploughed” into ventures…Very intelligent and well educated people once believed that the Earth was flat, and that Hitler posed no threat, but those of us on the left will continue to plough our furrows. Talking of “money trees” I seem to recall “Shallow” Dave Cameron (whatever happened to him?) singing some La La Land song about another 5,000 GPs being conjured up within 4 years or so. “Wooster” Farage, laughable that he is seen as a working class saviour, and as for Donald “trump” if the “rust belters” seriously believe that they will have highly paid productive jobs come 2020 their vision is most certainly not 20/20…

I always thought that the left/right political arguments were about principles and morals. It’s such a shame that Tom Pride always tries to drag the debate down to this kind of crass drivel. Is that because he is not capable of arguing on any higher level?

Here we go YET again with Tom Pride’s favourite rant about voters being too thick to decide anything…… and of course geniuses like him know FAR better. If you don’t like democracy Tom, maybe you would like to suggest an alternative?

anyone who has to use the bbc, daily mail and telegraph as evidence that the tories have lost the plot and are all thick really does need to do some ‘serious’ research – it’s quite common knowledge that tories are thick – but they have been voted into government whilst the labour party has died thereby offering no feasible opposition – so who is the thickest mad tory or dead labour????
meanwhile the population suffers at the hands of a one party nation – maybe that is the issue that should be addressed rather than this trivia??? – it would mean analysis of why the labour party is made up of 171 tories!

This blog is so hypocritical it defies belief. Tom Pride claims he is more intelligent than all the Tory and Brexit voters, but he is plainly too thick to even try to discuss any of the political issues he writes this crap about. Come on Tom, this is a challenge to you – put up or shut up. Or will you just delete this post like so many others?

In addition to ‘right wing’ voters, many lifelong Labour voters have also decided to vote Tory or UKIP. Simply telling them all they are thick implies a very poor understanding of the issues, or (if I might put it so) thickness.

John Payne we know the reason why the debt went up by 50% under Labour as they sought to shore up the banking system and economy. The debt increased under the coalition and the Tories as they spent less, due to Gideons austerity measures. So if a government spends less but the nations debt increases? You can hardly blame high interest rates can you? Funding for the NHS is stagnant at best and by far the biggest stone around its’ neck are the PFI contracts that have to be paid. A bad Tory idea picked up by a poor Chancellor!

It’s one thing to criticise politicians, but telling the majority of voters they are too thick to vote just makes you look like a stupid cunt, which is fair enough, because you are.

Tom Pride was responding to claim that Tories ‘were paying off Britain’s debts’ by showing a graph illustrating that the national debt has increased under the Tories. Also, the UK’s national debt was nowhere sufficient a level to cause economic problems, even in the wake of the global financial crisis; the real stranglehold on the UK economy was (and remains) private and personal, rather than public debt.
It’s not possible for a sovereign country with its own currency to ‘run out of money’. That’s economically illiterate hogwash.
I can’t generally speaking say that I’m fully on board with insulting entire political psychographic groups, but you’re not exactly providing counter-evidence to Tom’s contention here.
