Chomper Higgot

I think it’s a commonly held belief. I personally wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him, but not simply on the veracity or otherwise of what comes out of his mouth.

You are correct, I didn’t make the direct accusation, had I wanted to, I would have. Perhaps I was observing a reality that Johnson has lost the public’s trust.

I didn’t label him a serial liar.

Would anyone trust his answer?

The idea that somebody has told the Tories to put a stop to Truss fits with the events unfolding. Who that might be remains a guess.

[Trigger warning, this post includes the word ‘asylum’]. I suspect someone is telling Truss what to do, and the Hunt for that matter. Or are we to believe Truss suddenly took a liking to people who opposed her appointment, and that Hunt, who couldn’t get 20 MPs to nominate him in the Leadership Contest suddenly has the authority to wipeout all of Truss’ policies? It’s my opinion that someone has decided it’s not a good idea to let the lunatics run the asylum.

Again, I’m not a member of the Tory Party, I get to have zero say in who will inevitably replace Truss. I doubt anyone on this forum does.

Sorry, you don’t get to choose what I decide to post about. That’s not how any of this works. …….. Meanwhile Nadine Dorries has gone full gas nuts, demanding the return of ‘Boris’.

No, not biting. Stick with the Subject of discussion, Liz Truss, a wholly Tory choice. A wholly Tory mess.

It’s not a dodge, it’s a recognition of a fact. Nobody outside of the Conservative Party had any say in the matter. Asking people outside of the Tory Party is pointless. This is all on the Tories.

The Tory MPs who got rid of him disagree.

I think you’ll find outdoor exercise was recommended. I never missed a single cycle training session throughout the lockdowns, like most cyclists I know I increased my time and kms on the bike. The lock downs also saw a boom in the sale of indoor trainers, while ‘Peloton’ and other applications brought online racing into the mainstream.

You don’t think the introduction and marketing of fast foods, corn syrup and high energy low nutrition (but high profit) foods has anything to do with it?

Perhaps Barnier was venting, the reality was very different: https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-the-norway-model-brexit-2018-4 https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld201617/ldselect/ldeucom/72/7207.htm

I’m not a member of the Conservative Party, I had no say in the matter, nor do I suspect did anyone on this forum.

Your revisionism is noted.

*Deleted post edited out* Getting rid of Johnson was a positive move, it’s nobody but the Tories fault that they replaced him with an even bigger mess.

I never said ‘staying in the EU’ I pointed out the damage being done by the totally unnecessary Tory decision to leave the Customs Union, which nobody voted for. If you are going to make a claim of attending 2 of the Best British Universities as part of your argument then you’ll accept the criticism that they didn’t introduce you to the importance of addressing the arguments made, not the arguments you wish were made.

I suggest you read the article, then let me know if it’s’just the Guardian’.

Your assertion of misogyny is in need of evidence that the criticisms of Truss are made on the basis of her gender and not on her abundant failings. Nobody is becoming ‘hysterical’ every time she makes a decision, though she has been known to spook the financial markets.

And here’s what the UK press have to say: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/oct/20/utter-chaos-what-the-papers-say-as-suella-braverman-quits-and-liz-truss-faces-more-turmoil

The Uk could have left the EU but remained in the Customs Inion (you recall the ‘Norwegian Option’). But that’s not what the ERG wanted, so the Tories opted for the hardest Brexit they could get. No body voted to be poorer, but poorer they are.

The fact that ‘Schadenfreude’ is a German word makes it sweeter.

I’m not at all interested in whataboutary, and pointing out the factual failings is not ‘Bashing’. Have you seen Home Secretary Braverman’s resignation letter? 43 days in office, gone already.

Up next - Austerity 2, the sequel.
