An open letter to everyone who voted Conservative yesterday and why you should hesitate before you pat yourself on the back.

But this incarnation of the Conservative party is NASTY, and, I am seriously scared of what will unfold in the next five years, unless something occurs to temper them. If things continue sans divine intervention I hope they finally rediscover some humanity. The one thing I would like to add though, is we are MANY… don’t ever forget that… Xx

Now if you are someone who���
