Liz Truss

I’d like to think that if she was the Tory nominee in the general election, rather than being ushered in by a small group of tories, that we wouldn’t have elected her.

I’m not as down on this country as a lot on here seem to be, and I’m giving us the intellectual credit that she wouldn’t have been elected.
Not sure that argument, whilst correct, has much probative value. Firstly because the Tories are going to lose the next election irrespective; and secondly, because our wanky electoral system tends to exaggerate losses in a general election vs actual votes cast. They still would have got about 25% of the vote though, which undermines your argument about the intelligence of the electorate somewhat.

The fact anyone would even consider voting for a party of which she was leader is truly incredible. She really is that bad. There are spice heads in Piccadilly Gardens better suited to the job.

Saw a cracking comment in one of the better papers, which went something like Liz Truss is like a driver driving on the wrong side of the motorway. They hear a traffic report that a driver is driving the wrong way on that motorway and think "One? It's loads of them!"
 
It’s some achievement she got promoted to the office as high as number 10, even though it was for a few weeks. She would be out of her depth in charge of a parish council organising a cake bake. She shows how unhinged she is branding anyone who has a different opinion to her a leftie, wasn’t the chancer a Liberal Democrat at one point?

And Kwarteng would be driving the wrong way on a different motorway and blaming everybody else.

A committed, vehement supporter of remaining in the EU, and an outspoken anti-monarchist too.
Bloody lefties!!

Another shapeshifter like her previous boss Johnson who changes their opinions to what ever will line their pockets the most.
 
You would think she would listen to the mood music of what’s going on in the country at the moment. People are struggling to make ends meet with the cost of goods and services, many will lose their homes with the interest rates going up, not to mention we are all to scared to put the central heating on. She was promoted way above her ability and her few weeks of recklessness in charge of the country caused untold damage to the U.K. Now she has crawled out from the rock she’s been hiding under to tell us that her ability to ignore the warnings of her actions is a left wing plot and we should all feel sorry for her. Brass neck springs to mind.
**** springs to mind.

I’m not saying everyone is intelligent. Far from it. I have no doubt plenty would have voted for her, but not the majority…hence me still having some faith in the UK. Every country on earth has its fair share of idiots. I’m working in one now where the average intelligence is definitely worse than the UK’s.

I’ve worked in my fair share of countries. The UK is not the cesspit some would have you believe, in relative terms.
