Quality of service from companies in the private sector and public services in the state sector have thudded face-first into the earth as a result. We lag behind other European nations for going back into the office. Thousands of children have been abused, trafficked, raped, and even killed by grooming gangs. Five million people have simply dropped out of the workforce and now subsist on benefits. A million immigrants settled here last year. The consequences in learning loss from COVID-19 school closures for hundreds of thousands of children an absolute disaster. Poverty rates are climbing and set to go even higher.

We, in Britain, are currently going through another Conservative Party leadership contest, after Prime Minister Boris Johnson was ejected for behaving as he did before he was in office after he assumed said office. “To put it simply, if one cannot accumulate capital, he will not support capitalism and if one has no solid basis for conserving one’s family and community, which property provides, then he will not become a conservative.”
