Popular Post Gaccha Posted October 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2022 It is 100 years ago that the last Liberal Party PM was in office. Will this be the end of the Conservative Party? Without the EU to scream at, what do they have to unite over? They forced through a fantasy on the UK just to keep the Tory party united, and now in a delicious irony, it looks like it might splinter them apart anyway. The 4+ % plus expected destruction of GDP cannot, this time, be dreamt away by nonsense rhetoric of taking back power. The pathetic growth forecast leaves any government no room to manoeuvre. The cuts have to be brutal. The most obvious are pensions. As pensioners voted to enjoy the pain and sacrifice of leaving the EU, against their grandchildren 's wishes, so they must now suffer the costs. The only alternative is to face up to this moment of national disaster. Complete servile submission to the EU and a Norwegian-style trade treaty (full access to the EU but no power over the agreement) is the quickest solution in the mid-term. For too long, the media, goverment and the opposition have agreed to LARP about the Brexiteers' future of unicorns sh×tting rainbows from their bottoms and vomiting glitter from their mouths. This is the now the moment where gravity and reality re-emerges. Prepare yourselves. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwilco Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) Brace yourself for a Boris come back - what a choice - an idiot or a liar. The fact remains that the Tories, even with a majority of nearly 80 seats can't form a government. The King should appoint a cabinet of national unity - e.g. Labour/Lib Dems and centre parties (even a couple of tories!!)

Covid and Ukraine are international issues - but the UK is faring much worse than it's neighbours and this is ALL exacerbated by Brexit - or project fear as it was labelled by some fools 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
