Some examples of right wing governments please...?
I read the news today oh boy! Page 2,777
So: one person is convinced the UK is in thrall to a Stalinist/woke conspiracy which has made society ultra left wing while somehow not really influencing any election results.
Another argues none of the recent governments have really been right-wing and doesn't want to offer any examples of governments which he does consider to be genuinely conservative.
Are these typical examples of right wing thinking?

Yep Corbyn was the most left wing Labour leader since Foot and he got annihilated by Johnson when the electorate told him to f**k off
That was only 4 years ago
Even so called red wall Labour voters chose the Bullingdon boy over lefty Corbyn
Meanwhile more lies from sunak over Rwanda today
Sunak: "Labour is stopping us in the House of Lords"
Tory Lords = 241
Labour Lords = 181

Really? You don't know of any? Haven't you already mentioned two?
Looks like Plastic Patriot, Tommy Robinson, might get off today - because the arresting officer put the wrong date on the warrant.
Bloody two-tier policing!

I wanted to hear some examples of governments which you consider to be genuinely right-wing. Bearing in mind you don't think the present government are!
Remember the other day Sunak said all sick people are liars and should get to work ?
"A major scheme to help disabled people into work has been quietly scrapped - just as the prime minister announced a crackdown on disability benefits.
The £100m Work and Health Programme, operating in England and Wales, will end in the autumn, providers have been told, at the same time that Rishi Sunak wants to cut benefits for 420,000 sick and disabled people in an attempt to force them into work - a move that charities say would instead leave people destitute.
The blow to disabled people comes after the prime minister unveiled a plan to hand power to officials with no medical training to decide whether an employee is sick, raising the possibility that decisions about workers' health will be taken to hit targets rather than on clinical need."
How much longer do we have to endure this TIT ?

Well, let's go with the two examples of right wing government you gave:

Are you seriously comparing living under those regimes with:

No. I was not! Johnson and Truss were both unusually awful prime ministers by UK standards. Bad right wing populist Tories. But they certainly were not Hitler.
Trump is much closer to being a Hitler/Mussolini type. A true enemy of democracy and the people.

Trump attempted to mount a coup to overturn a democratic election result. He has brought the USA (a genuinely great nation) closer to fascism than anyone else.

I have no qualms with jailing the violent offenders, but the vast majority were non-violent protestors. Compare their punishment with that of people arrested during the anti-police protests around the country.
People stormed the capitol in an orgy of violence because they were told, falsely, that their candidate in the election had been cheated out of a win
Who told them it had been stolen?
I'll give you a clue , the Illiterate, tangerine doofus who did tell them - says repeatedly that it had been "stollen"
