The Conservative Party

Can I ask a genuine question here....................?

Where is Liz Truss? Anyone seen her since all this shit blew up?

No, thought not. Looks like Boris's title as the worst PM we've ever had is going to be a short Reign.
Was asking the same, myself. If the reported ‘argument’ between her and KK is true, it would suggest that the backlash we are seeing was not expected and that KK has talked her into something she wasn’t expecting.

The majority of the modern world is looking at the UK and thinking how could they get this so wrong, and Truss is at the epicentre of that pointing finger.
 
Making people poorer or society more unequal is the intent, not an unwanted side effect. It is about punishing people for the sin of poverty, if you were good or capable enough you would not be poor. It is not Govts business to help you, when you have clearly not helped yourself. It is very much a puritanical mindset, and akin to a religious belief.

It has little to do with capitalism or economics. It is about a belief on how society should be run and that only the deserving should prosper. At its heart it is a religion minus a deity.
The same was true of Osborne's austerity.
It was more of a political and social plan than an economic one.
It was sold on the basis of balancing the books but when he was booed at the 2012 Olmpics he dropped the balancing of the books bit and increased borrowing to fund tax cuts to businesses and the better off whilst keeping up the cuts to public spending and welfare.
Same old Tories.

I asked the same on the other thread yesterday.

My guess is that she’s had some sort of mental episode.
 
Bet Boris is laughing his tits at all of this. He left only a few weeks ago as pretty much the worst PM this country has ever had. Not in his wildest dreams did he think Truss could fuck it up to this extent where people reminisce about Boris and the good old days.
He’ll be thinking about how to get back in already.

If you like a bet...

Boris Johnson is currently 12/1 to be the next Prime Minister, making him the second favourite to replace Liz Truss.

I rather think Admiral Austerity might be making a rather large comeback (as if he ever really went away) in November.….
 
But they will .... because Socialism
You’re right though, but it’s not so much ‘socialism’ per se, that they are scared of. To most of them a socialist is someone who simply has an opposite view to their own.
I know loads of them round my way. The are very comfortable with mortgages long since paid and good pensions and investments.
What keeps them awake at night is brown people in rubber boats and rampant ‘extremist Marxists’ like mick lynch somehow destroying their comfortable lifestyles.
You wouldn’t worry too much about their influence on a GE ballot, but the problem is, they are the ones who gave us truss as PM, and we’re paying for that- not them.
