I don't for a moment think that the UK is "still deluding itself as "Great Britain"! After all, like it or like it not, you and I are members and still belong to Great Britain's English Language Empire and we must admit it doesn't matter how abusive a disenchanted bugger or a burgher can become, it's An Empire on which the sun never sets
Sure, there are cynics everywhere, sometimes as a result of frustration, colonisation, endemic corruption, voluntary or involuntary exile, some people become cynics, and others become life-negating nihilists, in time deteriorating into self-loathing or a self-effacing/ volatile state of mind known as the suicide-bomber mentality which harbours no hope in the future, and prays at least once a day that just one good nuclear bomb would end it all, send us all up as nuclear dust, to kingdom come.
Consider this mean meme about poor Liz Truss :
"In six weeks she managed to bury the Queen, the economy and the Conservative Party"
Liz Truss visited Her Majesty and the next day Her Majesty passed away…
To be or not to be? It's not an easy choice that's facing the Brits, there are cynics, maybe racists too who opinie that should Rishi Sunak of third-world ancestry be elected the next leader of the UK's great Conservative party and Prime Minister of Great Britain, then you have to look no further for any more signs heralding Great Britain's steep decline - the sinking of Britannia into taking a lowly place among other so-called third world nations.
" Turd world", said one of the Naipaul.
''Shithole" said Donald Trump whose avowed mission had been " to drain the swamp (in Washington DC )
There's some scepticism about Boris Johnson's comeback in view of the fact that his main claim to fame is that he got Brexit " done" - and today many of his countrymen - maybe the great majority - now realise that it's Brexit that's at the root of the country's economic woes and the pain they're feeling.
Kwarteng was variously accused of unorthodoxy by the status quo international financial institutions ( and knowing nothing about economics and less about politics, who am I to judge?
Well, here's some food for thought some other kind of opinion about the tussle between the IMF and Kwarteng's long-term vision for his country :
A Globalist Coup in Westminster? Six weeks in, the UK swamp brings down Liz Truss.The only thing that would prevent the London bridge from totally falling into the Thames River is for the Brits to acquire new colonies to exploit. The second-best option would be to rejoin the European Union. Poor Little England or is it the UK KK, still deluding itself as "Great Britain"!On Thu, Oct 20, 2022 at 1:59 PM Cornelius Hamelberg <cornelius...@gmail.com> wrote:BBC: Tory leadership race: Who could replace Liz Truss as prime minister?
LBC: Tories need reminding that Boris Johnson is 'unfit for office,' Sir Keir Starmer tells LBC
This much is certain: If a general election were to be held today, many Tory MPs would lose their seats. Many Tory MPs don't want to lose their seats, not just yet, and therefore don't want to face a general election any time soon. They would much prefer to elect a new Party Leader and Prime Minister who could possibly give them some hope of retaining their seats/ winning the next general election.
Who is the most likely man or woman? Has he or she been born yet? Does he or she exist?
Well, Rishi Sunak already has his supporter Jeremy Hunt as Chancellor of the Exchequer, pushing what looks like a Rishi Sunak agenda and that's a big plus, even if last time around Boris had pleaded with his party faithful, "Anybody but Sunak" and this time around he will probably be adding the polite, " Please": "Anybody but Sunak, the man who stabbed me in the back, please"
Should Sunak prevail this time, then he would be leading a disunited party, with Boris Johnson as the leader of the opposition within.
A penny for your thoughts.
So, what about a more neutral candidate like Ben Wallace - assuming that he wants to run, this time, him or Penny Mordaunt?
