Is anyone surprised? The Tories only pretend to care about anyone outside their own classes when it comes to convincing gullible people to vote against their own interests. They've got their votes from the working class, they don't care about trying to do anything for them until the next election when they'll make more false promises and cover them up with stoking people's hatred by blaming immigrants for everything and promising to curb immigration.

I've said it before and I'll say it again....

Modern politics and the propaganda surrounding the way the government want us to think is to only think about ourselves and our own needs. If we find others in need we should therefore assume that the situation is their own doing.

This, and I'd say the effect is even more nefarious; people believe this so strongly that when they find THEMSELVES in need, they assume it must be their own doing, down to their own failings, not being good enough, "failing at life". And the resulting damage to confidence and self-esteem just becomes a downwards spiral.
