Let's have a little look at the @Conservatives' record since #GE2019:

Ignored warnings & let 180,000 people die

Broke rules & laws that everyone else had to follow, then repeatedly denied doing so

Handed £BILLIONS of OUR money to THEIR mates for CRAP products that didn't work

Killed off social mobility

Steadfastly ignored the plight of disabled people

Sold off to overseas investors almost everything left to sell off

Relentlessly demonised asylum seekers, refugees & migrants

Overseen the biggest transfer of wealth from poor to rich in living memory

Continually lied to voters

Announced their intention to destroy Human Rights

Funded their Party with dirty money from Russian oligarchs

Attacked as 'anti-British' some of our greatest institutions, such as the @BBC, the @RNLI, the @nationaltrust & the @England football team

Voted to ignore corruption

Voted to criminalise protest

Denied structural/institutional racism exists

Voted to let children of impoverished parents starve

Voted to allow removal of UK citizenship without warning

Voted against making rented properties fit for human habitation

Annihilated our public services

Destroyed Britain's half decent reputation

Replaced decent jobs with insecure low-paid ones

Underfunded & turned people against our wonderful #NHS

Overseen the worst #CostOfLivingCrisis in 60 years, making people choose between eating & heating

Downplayed the climate crisis by challenging the scientific consensus on net-zero

Turned our back on our neighbours by leaving the largest trading block in the world

Turned Britain into a broken, isolated, polarised, miserable, inward & backward-looking unwelcoming dystopia.🇬🇧

How did we get here?

Part One - it's taken forty years:

How did we get here?

Part Two - the Boris Johnson years have delivered us "the most antidemocratic, intolerant & authoritarian Government... who are deliberately dismantling the progress Britain has made toward a fairer, meritocratic & equal society."

Civil disobedience is a symbolic violation of the law, rather than a rejection of the whole system: finding legitimate avenues of change blocked or nonexistent, as is the case now, people feel obligated to break specific laws. It helped stop the poll tax.
