Whilst its true i am conservative at heart (i belive in conserving things) the tory party hasn’t been conservative in any way since the Thatcher years, and i have very mixed feelings about those anyway, i’ve not really got any horse in politics now because no parties apart from minor ones of usually patriotic bent have represented my beliefs in any way, basically i hold no brief for any of the current parties and haven’t for decades.
I’ll agree with you on a lot Franglais, in that whilst the Blair/Brown version of nulabour might have been not great for the country they didn’t destroy the place in quite the specatular way the tories have, apart from opening the doors to mass immigration and flogging off the nations gold reserves they didn’t actually ruin the country with massive unpayable debt ike the tories have.
The tories have been promising to cut immigration for 12 years to tens of thousands from the still increasing hundreds of thousands every year, they can’t even keep our borders safe from invaders in inflatable boats on the south coast indeed ferrying them in using our lifeboats and border farce, yet feel justified in pontificating and threatening a world power like Russia, if it wasn’t so tragic it would be laughable but i have a nasty feeling any amusement is about to come to a crashing end if the idiots don’t negitiate an end soon the whoel of civilisation could be coming to a violent end if some demented fool prersses the nuke button.
Where people are going wrong is making out as if the last 4 weeks is causing the ruination of the country, it’s been a no brakes runaway juggernaut of ridiculous borrowing quantitive easing (money printing with nothing to back it up) and ever larger state since Cameron the Vanished became PM, the next 2 PMs just as much to blame as him.
The economy has been run since on virtually free money, intererest rates held artificially low (doesn’t help when globalists run the BoE) and relying on ever increasing house prices as a measure of the success or not of the economy, what else was there, we didn’t make anything to sell abroad bar a few cars the makers of which are all foreign owned.
Well we’ve finally come up against the wall, and Truss was daft enough to join the game of musical chairs the prize of which was leader of the fake tory party, note sensible solid people like JRM wasn’t daft enough to try for this poisoned chalice.
Anyone could be forgiven for thinking some lunatic full socialist/commy dictatorship had been in power the last 12 years, we’ve had ever bigger state, the state now the biggest threat to our dying eceonomy and the highest taxation since the world wars and national debt quadrupled if not quintupled to an obscene amount just as interest rates are taking off, brilliant, all under a party that claims to be conservative.
You are wrong about who’s pulling the strings, it isn’t the right of the party, thats a handful of increasingly irrelevent sidelined back benchers, those causing the trouble are the banker class who serving their kind want their chap, Sunak, installed to complete their work, conservative they aint.
What i can’t fathom is why i give a toss anymore when its blindingly clear its all over bar the shouting and recriminations, the UK and most of the west have self destructed because they really thought the milk and honey were free, i have no horse in this farce, i will not vote again until there’s someone worth voting for and the chances are i’ll be dead by then, so why am i bothered, i’ve tried to ignore it all, haven’t watched live telly for over a decade haven’t read a newspaper for well over 3 decades, maybe drink is the answer after all.
