Liz Truss is to government as was Alan Hardy to football ownership.
Yup… I look forward to the day that the leftie establishment of the BoE, HMRC, Lloyds, Barclays, PWC and all those commie barsteward newspapers like the Daily Heil, don their Che Guevara T-shirts, flip flops and hand out free money to the masses.
****s sake… ill have a drop of whatever it is, you’re drinking! Loooool
Liz Truss is to government as was Alan Hardy to football ownership.
Liz Truss was voted in by the gammon and blue rinse brigade for two reasons:
1. She wasn't Rishi Sunak.
2. She pledged to govern by the 1980 "How to be a good Tory" handbook.
She surrounded herself with her sycophantic mates, and did exactly what the gammon and blue rinse brigade wanted her to do. It was a disaster on an unprecedented scale. She is now a laughing stock, and her return to frontline politics is brilliant news for the opposition parties.
At least your "gammon and blue rinse brigade" realised the error of their ways. Though how parties can elect some of the leaders we have seen beggars belief, and I include Foot and Corbyn into the mix of Tory errors. There must be one but I cannot think of a single MP that I would want to handle any of my affairs. They appear ignorant of practical and world matters and seem merely to focus on the mantra of dogma, presentation and debating skills. It would be nice to have someone up there who actually knew anything and cared about integrity. I guess that Labour fellow might come close but such an impression he has made that I seem to have forgotten his name. Oops, it's just come back to me.
They didn't realise their error of their ways at all, I'm sure they worshipped her but thankfully it was taken out of their hands. They voted her in, but it was the Tory MPs who binned her and not the party members. If the gammon and blue rinse brigade had been allowed to elect her successor, they would undoubtedly have gone for Boris Johnson!!!
No one seems to have looked into boiling frogs. I give us 10 years at best and we will all have nothing and be happy, as the WEF want. It will be too late to do anything then as democracy will have disappeared from the dictionary. At least the planet will be safe... not.... as it is not in danger, only the humans that walk on it's surface are in danger.
We currently have a Conservative Party leader who isn't a Conservative and a Labour Party leader who isn't a Socialist, and the public have virtually zero choice. Fans of The Simpsons may remember the episode where two alien siblings, Kang and Kodos, stood against each other in the Presidential election disguised as political opponents, but behind their masks shared the same evil ambition to destroy democracy and serve themselves and each other. Well, we're in that cartoon.
You can seriously question the competence of the likes of Truss and Corbyn, no doubt with considerable justification, but its no coincidence that anyone who threatens to give the public even a hint of a genuine choice between right and left is quickly and mercilessly subjected to the 'hounds of hell' treatment by the vested interests (e.g. big business, civil service, media etc.) whose objective is to control the public, not serve the public.
To break that stranglehold will take a politician (from the right or left) of truly exceptional principle, conviction, confidence, resilience and cunning, and an electorate that collectively becomes smart enough to realise that they're being duped by the vested interests who pretend to be working for them and speaking for them.
The political system, especially higher up the ladder, is set up to weed out any such political threats at an early stage, whilst expediting the progress and exploiting the greed of those who will change nothing as long as they get the money, the ego trip, and the perks of being in high office. That's what we've got in Sunak and Starmer, and if you look behind them, there are very few who are much different, let alone brilliant or brave enough to challege/overturn the self-serving hegemony.
