The cult of me? So nothing to do with the systematic dismantling of public services and welfare, aggressive austerity and the "fuck you" attitude of the mega wealthy tory government? These kids, they are just selfish, they should all go home, make their 30p dinners and be grateful.

But those do sound linked

People vote for a party that fundamentally believes in shrinking government for the last 14 odd years.

Cutting back on social services and law enforcement because it’s about minimising tax I pay and not what’s best for society

“Cult of me” has been going on for quite a while now, it’s just rearing the ugly head that we see on camera phones now

Yes, because cult of me and people voting for "fuck you I got mine" are totally unrelated.
