It's a combination of the two, in all seriousness. Tories disdain both public sector workers ("if you were smart you'd get a real job in banking!") and poor people who can't go private ("if you weren't such a lazy prole you'd be able to afford the cancer drugs!").
You see exactly the same effect in state education, where both teachers and students are reviled by Tories. Because if you were a decent teacher you'd obviously be teaching at Eton, and if you were a decent student you'd obviously be studying at Eton, right?

"Those strawberry floating lazy doctors and nurses and paramedics. Spending years training to save lives, then working long hours to save lives, then expecting to be paid a reasonable wage so they can live comfortably in the limited time they spend at home when not out saving lives. What a bunch of gross deplorable monsters."
And that's just Denster.

I was talking about him being lazy and deplorable, not him being a Tory. Although that works as well.

What I'd like to know is what percentage of NHS workers vote Tory. Denny can't be the only one, it's a statistical improbability.
And yes we love you Denny.

I'm honestly amazed there aren't marches in London. People are actually dying in corridors and the government have been caught negligent and nobody really seems to give a damn.
Grenfell tower, NHS collapse......what a strawberry floating legacy.

Latest polls suggest that 40% would still vote Tory if there was an election today, just 1% behind Labour. It's madness!
