Deliberately provoking the union over a single day. How fucking stupid are these people?

      Yes, that would be hilarious watching the US subject Britain to shock therapy so wall street could loot the corpse that Sunak wants to keep on life support so he and his CoL friends can continue to suck it's blood.

        That is exactly what is happening already. It's happening to most of Europe, just hitting the UK hardest atm

        It's super funny to read articles asking "why is the US economy doing so good despite the world turmoil?" Right in the midst of the open-air shock therapy and monetary policy warfare being directed at Europe, which is very visibly draining wealth from the continent.

        Tbh it would mainly be funny in a dark I've just given up now kind of way. But Liz Truss being back would also be funny

        also I don't think these people will give us the dignity of wanting to destroy us they're just bone stupid

          Perhaps they'll settle on the compromise candidate, Boris Johnson

            Johnson would be far better than Truss. He's about as bad as Sunak. Massive adulterer but I'm not married to him

      There is absolutely zero chance that Truss is reinstated. Less than zero.

      It would kill the tory party. They would become a laughing stock.

          I can't understand how some of these ghouls would even be contemplating it.

          Even among older people Liz Truss is utterly demonised. She wiped thousands off of even very very small pensions that my family members have, I'm imagining some of the people out there with larger pensions lost tens of thousands because of her.

          There's just no chance. It's fucking mind boggling they would even be thinking it.

            It seems to be a position held among the dregs of the tory party and weird american far right people. Basically it's not happening

              They're so wildly out of touch though that I actually find it difficult to see how it's even possible to be that far out of touch. It's a level of out of touch and in their own world that feels utterly alien to me.

                well if it helps they're really dumb and deeply ideologically commited to the position that Liz Truss's ideas work. They aren't going to let anything so communist as reality get in the way of these beliefs

                  Maybe I have too much faith in humanity and it is the fact that they're really really dumb that is getting in the way of me understanding this.
