Break free!

 

 

 

Were I unfortunate enough to see Mr Johnson (the disgraced ex-Prime Minister of the UK) I might opine a comment or twelve, along the lines emphasising his almost criminal corruption and lying disregard of everyone and everything except for his worthless self.  I would be more than prepared to explain my assessment to him personally or shout it out as he walked along.  And would I be arrested for daring to complain about somebody who has taken advantage of the British people and given such poor value for money as, for example, the new King Charles III?

     The stories emerging from the UK of police action against those who have dared to express opinions contrary to the unthinking adulation and hagiographical approbation that we are presumably supposed to be offering uncritically to her late Majesty and his present Royal Highness are, to put it mildly, worrying.

     Some of the comments by those opposing the continuation of the monarch have, to put it mildly, been somewhat crass.  But criminal?  The police are apparently using a new Tory devised bill to extend their powers and clamp down on fully justified opposition.

      One friend of mine suggested that for those living in the UK over the period of the funeral and the accession of Charles III and the sycophantic level of comment from media and The General Population might now understand for a short period what it is like for people living in North Korea all the time!

     The death of the Queen and the ceremonial shenanigans connected with the proclamation of the new king have allowed and continue to allow the population to take their eye off the main concern of the vast majority of the population and that is the cost of living crisis and the degraded level of governmental politics.

     Perhaps by Monday and the funeral over and done with, the country can go Cold Turkey and wake up to the realities of the present condition of the country.

     But I am not confident that this is at all likely!

Down, down we go!

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the creepiest speeches that I have heard delivered was by That Bloody Woman when she quoted Saint Francis on the steps of Downing Street.  Absolutely stomach churning to listen to That Hag try and pretend that selfless generosity and inclusivity was anywhere near the core philosophy of The Conservative Party – even then!

     Now we have a resident of Number 10 who probably regards Saint Francis as a twelfth century enemy of the people leftie.  With all the hesitant charm of a broken reel to reel tape recorder, The Creature Truss gave her acceptance speech to the Conservative faithful and left the rest of us thinking of just how low a country has to sink to ‘welcome’ such an inarticulate cypher as even a titular leader.

     Unless she now (tomorrow) performs a series of policy U-turns that would tax the capabilities of a F1 driver, we are going to be stuck with someone whose ideology driven wrecking will demean, bankrupt, and kill.  Someone who has lauded the concept of NOT redistributing wealth in the face of the greatest cost of living crisis since the banking fiasco; who welcomes tax cuts that benefit the wealthy as a way of EVENTUALLY helping those in dire need now; who has shown less than a scintilla of interest in the realities of Global Warming.

     I will leave it to others to list her self-serving non-achievements; her lies; her ‘flexible’ beliefs – but I am preparing myself for the real moment of truth when she takes centre stage in front of Downing Street (or inside in case of rain) and says something real about what she is going to do.

     I am steeling myself for the list of cabinet appointments, but the fact that commentators have written that Dorries and Braverman are being considered for any post in government, let alone the highest positions, without breaking down into hysterical sobbing at the Ship of Fools that will be sailing under her captaincy, is horrific.

     Let’s get one thing straight – I care about my country, and I would rather see an excrescence like Truss succeed and the country thrive than have her fail and bring the country down further than it already has with twelve years of Tory Misrule, in which, let us not forget, she has been an active and maleficent wrecker.

     Truss went out of her way in her speech to laud her ‘friend’ Johnson, her friend the lying, narcissist, criminal Johnson.  If she takes his approach to honesty and responsibility, then we are in for a very rocky couple of years before the scythe of the next general election can do its long-delayed work!
