It goes without saying that they have to pretend to be 'objective' so that their ideological commitments to what pays for their champagne and caviar and keeps them in positions of influence do not show too much, so they play aggressive-questioning for the benefit of the cameras.

A GOVT main priority is the welfare of his citizens, nation. But looks like these Torys are more concerned about Ukraine!

[@mcirelandosharma7411]

Your first sentence is the first misconception. The main priority of any govt is to extract wealth from the population and give it to a few powerful individuals.

[@cactustactics]

They don't care about Ukraine either, they care about (trying to) stick it to Russia. And they'll drag out this war and the consequences of sanctioning our own energy supply for as long as they can milk it. They're completely fine with sacrificing Ukraine and its population in the process, same as they're fine with Brits being unable to afford heat or food

[@mcirelandosharma7411]

@Tranzor Z true, of course they don't care about Ukraine. It serves multiple agendas, UK taxpayers funding military/weapons manufacture, or as the media like to call it "humanitarian aid" 😂. Destabilisation of the region for the implementation of all manner of corrupt resource extraction. Indebt the country of Ukraine, intentionally cause global food shortages (or at least the excuse for them), fuel shortages, hyperinflation and the need for CBDC replacements, digital IDs and private property sequestration of those in the west for Ukrainian refugees, etc. It just happens that most of these outcomes serve the UNs sustainability goals... Conveniently.

I would encourage posters on this site to look up the philosophy of the Market Fundamentalist believer. Obviously Market Fundamentalism is about worshiping money, but some of its individual beliefs are, to me, horrific. Anyway once you have a clear idea of what such a person believes all the things that this government does and says click into sharp focus. A key belief is that a person's wealth is an indicator of their 'value' in the market. It follows that those with the most wealth should be supported because they are 'wealth generators'. People who are disable, unemployed, sick and poor have no value and should go off and die...
