Michael Thompson, of South Furzeham Road, Brixham, writes: Just how evil must the Tories get before the English completely reject them? Do English Tory voters have a death wish upon the most vulnerable in society? These are just two questions I asked myself when David Cameron returned to 10 Downing Street following this general election result. Another question is, why do we as a nation have a first past the post voting system, where on May 7 this year, only 37 per cent of voters supported the Tories, 63 per cent voted for other parties, yet the Tory's swept to power with a majority. This isn't democracy, it's a farce. David Cameron's right-wing Tories are happy to rip the heart out of the welfare state, and privatise the NHS, while creating food banks across the country due to their stringent economic cuts in welfare, hitting the unemployed and those working in low-waged jobs reliant on means tested top-ups to get by. Pensioners are also forced to use food banks and the disabled are forced to have to undergo work capability assessments, because the Tories are ideologically opposed to the role of the state and everything attached to it. The right-wing agenda has always been about removing the social reforms that came in care of Clement Attlee's Labour Government after the Second World War. Austerity has never been about cutting the deficit, but the deficit is being used a cover to carry through this Tory agenda. If David Cameron and George Osborne really wanted to reduce the deficit, there are others ways to achieve this without hurting the most vulnerable in our country, our society and our communities. I am not in the least religious, but I thought we upheld democracy and Christianity as British values, and with a set of civilised values, but methinks we are misleading ourselves. I thought we cared about the vulnerable. I thought we were civilised. I didn't think those 37 per cent of people who voted for David Cameron at this general election would want us to go back to the Britain prior to the Second World War, because this is precisely where we are headed. These vicious Tory cuts have nothing to do with deficit cutting but everything to do with an ideological attack on everything that came into this country after the Second World War. And what's worse, the 'dwindling state' started under Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s, it didn't start under Cameron. I well remember the massive rich and poor divide that Thatcher left behind following 18 years of right-wing Tory rule from 1979 to 1997, and Tony Blair's New Labour Government swept to power on a mammoth mandate from the British public. But those 18 years Tory weren't as extreme as the past five years of this Tory-led coalition. I could never vote for a political party that deliberately set out to hurt people on a lie, such as cutting the deficit. This is a lie which is also being perpetuated by the BBC TV media. Sadly Ed Milliband also bought into this lie. Perhaps he was advised to by Labour advisers who felt, as Tony Blair did, that he had to get the Tory voting middle classes on board. I would never have believed for one moment that those people who voted for David Cameron at this general election, would ever vote for more child poverty in their own country; would ever vote to increase the need for food banks; would ever vote to keep allowing injustice and abuse to be levelled against the poorest and most vulnerable people in their country; would ever vote to keep the despicable working practices of large and small companies – zero hour contracts and poverty wages; would ever vote to put the NHS in real danger of complete annihilation via privatisation; or would ever vote for the reintroduction of fox hunting.  I hope that one day those who voted Tory will come to realise what they've done. More people will die, and more people will face starvation as a result of an electorate that has bought into the lies and propaganda of the right wing media. I am genuinely fearful of what is to come over the next five years.
