She's got about as much charisma and gravitas as the manager of my local Spar And crucially at this moment in time, less competence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 20493 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I actually think Truss may have a personality disorder, like Johnson, like Trump. Pure narcissist and sociopath. Can't remember who said it, but sometimes when you feel you have impostor syndrome it's because you really really are an impostor. Fair enough, this applies to a few tory MPs, but it doesn't explain why so many people don't see the traits and vote for them anyway. Guess that's where gaslighting comes in. Won't work this time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 16588 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 In a significant way it’s not Truss who’s received the kicking from Lycett here, it’s Laura K and the BBC. He’s pricked the bullshit balloon of impartiality with a sarcasm so fuckin searing they’ll never have a non politician or business leader on ever again. The top journos have been leaving for LBC for years now so they can say what is actually going on in this country, see Maitlis in Edinburgh last week for details. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the new PM bounce in the polls might not happen for her. Apparently Sunak's ratings have dropped off far less, which suggests Tory voters who voted for Truss already know that they picked the wrong horse and she hasn't even fucking moved in to No 10 yet. Great. And I bet the vast majority of the membership had cast their vote back in early August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 29563 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I made a conscious choice not to watch the Truss interview yesterday but having a look at what she said it's scary how someone so economically illiterate yet ideologically driven is about to become PM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, she's either a liar or a moron, probably both. There has been no progressive distribution of wealth in this country for 12 years. The super rich in particular have become much more wealthy in absolute and relative terms. And that is part of the reason for our poor growth, contrary to what she says. Trickle down economics is a sham which benefits less than 1% of the population. Its arguable whether ut even really benefits the 1% as they still need to share certain infrastructure and services with us plebs. Release the money to normal people and the economy will grow however. I'm glad Truss is coming out with this shit on the eve of her ascension. She has already given out so much rope if you hanged her her hideous head would be cleanly severed off. She is completely unelectable and the tory party is now nothing more than a right wing cult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 20493 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Btw, I know most tories think like Truss, but like Fight Club you don't fucking say it out loud. Even Johnson knew this.

No point freezing at a rate that still kills people. Failing that, if we just do what Edwina says we should be fine. BTW don't get this cunt on and then sit with your head in your hands. Just don't have her on. She was a fucking joke when she was in her prime, never mind now. (I know it's not Lewis's choice to have her on btw). 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4267 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 It doesn't matter than trickle down is bollocks - just like likening the economy to a household budget or the magic money tree - those concepts are hammered home by the media and ingrained in the average voters mind. If only someone could have the bollocks to point this out without being scared of upsetting focus groups of cunts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also inflation won't hit 20% if they freeze energy costs. Not sure what it will get to though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
