Women in Britain today are fed up and that really isn’t good news for the government. The economy is declining, yet the cost of living is rising. And it’s women who are feeling the pinch become tighter and tighter in the rise in household bills, food prices, and increases for those that use public transport and petrol for those that drive.
The “boys” don’t seem to care, as they ruthlessly cut and cull vital services, benefits, grants and support networks in Britain desperately needed by women and their families. And on the subject of the boys: could there be a more male-dominated government in Britain? A group of privileged public schoolboys running the country without a clue what matters to women. Do they honestly think tripling university fees and making women work harder and longer for their pensions is going to get our vote? But what makes me feel sick to my stomach is the cuts in social support for women’s welfare. These men are disregarding and devaluing issues such as abortion, rape and domestic violence. Abhorrent behaviour from a party that I presume is still hoping to win an election at some point.
The irony is women in Britain actually used to like Prime Minister David Cameron. Last year, 45 per cent of women backed the Conservatives, according to YouGov, against just 34 per cent of men. Today it’s a very different story and the government knows it. A leaked Whitehall memo acknowledges fears over supporting policies “pursued as a government which are seen as having hit women, or their interests, disproportionately”.
