She is probably NOT a sociopath and once behind the curtain with the wizard of oz, she realized how diabolical and war mongering the financial system really is and decided she didn’t want to be the instigator of another world war ( like churchill was)

The UK may be merely the beginning of the firestorm that will rage through the West. The economic collapse that is only just beginning now, and taking out the weakest first, may just end an entire epoch.

Cromwell looks like a freaking genius compared to what has ruled Britain lately. Oliver or even Richard.

The collapse of the USD/Lb as worlds reserve currency may just be a good thing in the long run.

It could actually cause a return to manufacturing and abandoning the Military Industrial Complex that has been enforcing the USD as World Reserve currency by screwing over other nations economies ( like Russia for example ) and then killing them if they step out of line and try to go rogue ( like Sadaam or Ghadaffy )

Our experiences, particularly in the last 30 years, gives one serious respect for Eisenhower and his foresight.

Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Whose father? Neither Liz Truss’ or Queen Elizabeth’ father is called ‘Dick’.

I do not understand British politics at all.

Britain is in financial trouble, inflation is raising, and she proposes a tax cut to revive the economy (at least that is my understanding).

Immediately there are protests, and her government fails. Do the British want more taxes?

Can someone provide an explanation of why Liz Truss’s plans were rejected?

LOL!

That he was. And it cost him.

And women watch soaps? All they gotta do is watch the docu’s on these clowns and they'll get all the sordid soap type crap one would ever want.

Game of Thrones..HA!

These hollywierd pukes could do simply historical factual pieces on these people and have the greatest sordid soap opera programs aver made.
Full of all the juicy sordid crap ever.

Quite true. Then again, if the Plantagenets hadn’t lost the Rose Bowl we would be having a completely different conversation, now wouldn’t we?
