“Okay but hear me out, if people are dead we no longer have to throw away perfectly good tax money on them, which would be better spent on X” - Tories

(Just replace X with whatever you like, stopping small boats, propping up boomer pensions, funding private schools, improving the police force’s response times and manpower to improve suppression and arrest numbers at peaceful protests, ensuring that hundreds of thousands of people who need social care or benefits don’t receive them because what if one guy somewhere might be trying to game the system?!, etc etc)
