Because Brexiters are literally the thickest cunts in the country who think that a pint is more volume than 750ml because numbers confuse them.

Remembering those who died in 2023, I would never forget Glenda Jackson. Fabulous actor, great politician, and somebody who always called a spade a spade:
I don't understand this. Is it really possible that some Brits still don't get what Brexit means?

I think the headline should have read:
“Kevin McCloud tells young Brits that they have been ‘shafted by their elders’”.
Looks like pretty standard clickbaity headline writing for social media

And it was this cunt who first brought up the idea of voter ID. To solve a problem that never existed but to dissuade younger and ethnic minority voters thus bettering the chances of permanent Tory rule.Boris Johnson barred from voting under his own voter ID rules

I hope the fuckers get wiped out this year.
As a American who knows nothing about UK politics, what's up with that? The Tory party has been a disaster for as long as I can remember and it feels like there has been no political backlash for Brexit and the line of historically bad PMs (Boris, Truss, et. al.). Is there any chance for Tories not to have government control any time soon? How have they managed to stay in power so long?

They've held power for so long due to there being a weak opposition in parliament (until recently) and a complacent or biased media willing to defend them and look the other way.
Nearly everyone in government knows that Brexit was a disaster but are still to scared to admit their mistakes.
As for the general election, Rishi Sunak is attempting to hold that back for as long as possible, perhaps until after the US elections (to see if Trump gets back in or not). And they're sinking in the polls. Which is what makes them more dangerous at the moment as they're drifting to the far right in order to shore up any votes they might have left.
