My reaction to Liz Truss becoming PM!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stay well
It is stunning when you see and hear the litany of shit that Boris perpetrated on this country during his time as PM. With his tenure finally about to end there have many reports and broadcasts listing all the stuff that he did and more importantly did not do. It is a very long list! I think it is clear by now that I hate Johnson his whole party and everything they stand for. How we allowed this man to become PM is beyond my understanding (and yet it isn’t) Why there are still people who still support him is even more unbelievable (no it isn’t). I understand why the sitting MP’s might still support him because that are only concerned with being re-elected.
The most frightening thing is that should Liz Truss win the party leadership and become PM she is actually worse. Think about that, someone in No 10 who is actually worse than Johnson! I don’t want Sunak either, I just want the Tories gone before they do even more damage to our fragile country.
I sometimes think it is some alternate reality we are living in, some dystopian novel written as a warning of what can happen when governments abuse their power. Yet it’s a nightmare and you then realise it is all too real!
One can only hope that the wheel will turn again and sense will prevail. The pain of 12 years of Tory rule will be felt for many years to come and should they remain, we are totally fucked.
We are far to “British” and it is time we stood up for ourselves and acted more like a Nation who have finally had enough of this tyranny, because tyranny is what it is!
Stay well
Our annual break in Crete begins next week and we will be away for a month, yippee!
I already know the answer to this question, why do we still have people in this country who support the Conservatives so staunchly, when you would have to be blind, deaf and dumb not see the damage that have perpetrated on our country since they have been in power? I would really like to hear from someone who supports them as to why they continue to do so or did in the first place? There is not a single person (as I have said many times) I talk with, who has anything but contempt for them!
Sadly, I have this horrible feeling that no matter how much damage they continue to do to our economy, NHS, social services, environment, no matter how badly they mismanage the energy and cost of living crisis, no matter if they finally accept that Brexit was a massive own goal, they will still win the next general election! I hope I am wrong but the lead Labour have in the polls (no matter how meaningful they are) needs to reinforced by a strong voice and at present Starmer is not capitalising on their obvious disharmony and shameful behaviour! Labour need to do and say more.
We need a real revolution in British politics and only us the people can make this happen. We must use every peaceful means to shout for change, no matter how hopeless you may feel it is, we must not give up. Unfortunately much of the protests that are currently taking place are not being reported by the mainstream media, who can no longer be relied upon to bring unbiased reporting to the public.
I am happy to be leaving our shores for a month and to be in an country where the painful daily litany of shame and economic shit is not a worry. The Greek government though poor and still in dire economic condition have done far more to help their people than our pathetic mealy-mouthed politicians have!
Stay well
