Ah. Now we know why you dismissed his thread. So predictable.

He' s also a CHARTERED Accountant by the way.

 

He's also a qualified economist with a diploma, and talks a hell of a lot of sense, a damn site more than any Tory sleazebag I've ever heard, that's for sure! 

 

His videos on why Scotland would be a successful country on our own, and also about the deficit (or lack of it in our case), are also very good too.

I've not followed him on Twitter but just realised from this post that I know him through my work and various conferences I've been at. He's very highly regarded in the 'industry' and usually gets top billing as a speaker. He's knowledgeable and passionate.

I suppose you're right. You can't really argue with somebody as decorated as a Chartered Professor. Such an accolade is what one must stride for.

Of course, there's no such thing as a chartered professor and I doubt you've ever commanded the stage at national conferences so I'm happy to dismiss your comments as ignorant, clueless, prejudiced, knee-jerk rantings.

Comrades indeed. A word you should use to describe yourself and other tory voters, since they are knee deep in Russian money and kow-towing to those donors, when they aren't being wined, dined and compromised in a KGB* officer's house.

It's an astonishing flip over from the 70s, when all the talk was that Labour and the Trades Unions were heavily involved with the Russians. Some of that was true, but now we have a Conservative Party, whilst in government, who have been taking Russian money for years, yet the traditional right wing press seem to be totally unconcerned. Seemingly, they're only taking money and giving back influence to nice, friendly Russians.

Putin seems to have played a very long and patient game. His strategy of energy supply to Europe and sure fire knowledge that money gets you most things you plan for in the UK, were working well for him before he jumped the gun on Ukraine. If he had waited until nearer the start of winter, instead of near it's end, Europe would have been in far bigger trouble, energy wise, than it has been up to now.

It's also very likely that he partly bankrolled Brexit. Divide and conquer, helped by his true blue comrades.

I have had the misfortune of spending a couple of days with Tory members, one of whom is a party "activist". Although I've tried to avoid any tory chat, they all seem very keen to tell me in hushed tones about Shagger Truss. If they're right, she's been at it more than Johnson. And despite having given her their votes, they confirm that she's thick as mince.

I was just about to post that story.  Basically government lawyers are attempting to conceal certain comments made by a Foreign Office official who had been asked for advice about the Rwanda policy.

 

The official had stated "There are state control, security, surveillance structures from the national level down... political opposition is not tolerated and arbitrary detention, torture and even killings are accepted methods of enforcing control too".

That’s pretty damning from the official.

Just like the recent “lack of graft” revelation about British workers from Truss, her views about the workers are nothing new. She co-wrote “Britannia Unchanged” in 2012, where the following passage appeared:-

“Once they enter the workplace, the British are among the worst idlers in the world. We work among the lowest hours, we retire early and our productivity is poor. Whereas Indian children aspire to be doctors or businessmen, the British are more interested in football and pop music.”

 

The Tories hold us in utter contempt. Always have, always will. And yet millions of working class people still vote for them

She's been challenged on that a couple of times in recent weeks and has replied with: "different people wrote different chapters. That chapter was written by Dominic Raab, who's supporting Rishi Sunak for leader." Great to watch them try to tear the party apart from within - she has my full support in that. However, I think if I was collaborating on a book, I'd want to know that none of the content from my collaborators was offensive or objectionable.

 

So, either she agrees with it or was happy just to take her thirty pieces. Given that she's, at some point, agreed with pretty much every viewpoint on most things, it's possible that both are true.

Quite apart from all her toe curling outbursts, I think she’s quite simply not anywhere near being up to the job. I can see her being found out very quickly and toppled from within, something the Tories do much more ruthlessly than any other party. She seems to think she’s some sort of second coming of Margaret Thatcher when in reality she’s a Pound Shop Thatcher.

Thatcher wouldn’t have given her the responsibility of carrying her handbag.

Johnson kept a gang of nodding numpties around him so that there was no decent threat from within. It could bite the Conservatives hard come the next election, probably having them scramble to bring their oven ready hero back.

 Leaders in politics or business very often surround themselves with numpties and sycophants unlikely to challenge them. We’ve all seen it. There’s usually one they underestimate though.

 

Their oven ready hero will probably have long since quit politics by then and gone off to rake in millions making speeches. He has too many gobs to feed, 6 officially, but there are widely believed to be others too. If it’s very obvious very quickly that Truss will lose the next election, she’ll be binned. Who knows who’ll get the gig next.
