Crashing the British economy and triggering a cost of living crisis wasn't particularly funny either, Liz. Some people don't know to lie down when they're dead.

So true. Her attempts to grift out some sort of post-MP career for herself are kinda sad.

Yes, it is rather pathetic. She shouldn't really be offering advice to others given her own track record of ministerial failure. She has a galling lack of self-awareness and humility. There's something quite robotic about her. Her pension for being an ex-PM (after only 50 days in office) should keep her going nicely enough. She's certainly done a lot better than the common man has out of her economic ineptitude.

I wouldn't Truss her as far as I could throw her and thankfully neither will the voters ever again.

Maybe we should be careful. He is even asking for foreigners to be extradited to the UK for misinformation and hate speech. Like something straight out of "V for Vendetta". He is the same type of scumbag that we all loved to hate watching that film, or reading the graphic novel.

Read a good point recently about how V for Vendetta is a Blairite/Graun-liberal fantasy about what a dystopian, dictatorial Britain would be: always some kind of far-right neo-Mosleyite caricature. One of the recent Black Mirror seasons had an episode along those lines too IIRC.

The reality, of course, is that Britain has an authoritarian, liberal uniparty that hates its own people.

So does AINO, CJB. And I daresay the same is true of Oz.

It is so, unfortunately. Team Red and Team Blue tinkering at the edges, but both basically supporting the record high migration intake and the associated degradation of wages, housing affordability, and general quality of life.

Not even managed decline... more like anarcho-tyranny.

And all motivated by a hatred of the populations that established the nations.

Never undertake a speech when your next meal is on your mind, lol.

No, indeed. It was a bit of an Alan Partridge moment!
