Boris was a disappointment. Nigel Farage is all I know.

Because of the market reaction. Pound sank to near parity with USD, yields on Government bonds rocketed, pension funds were within hours of closure. She (and Kwarteng) offered no plan to cut government expenditure with the tax cuts.

Anyone who offers tax cuts without spending cuts should be laughed out of even contending for office but that won’t happen.

“Well, she wasn’t very trussworthy.”

Aye. Didn’t hold up well at all. Buckled under pressure. Obviously couldn’t bear the weight of the Office.

Exactly.

Anyone who thought the elite in Britain were just gonna take the defeat of Britain leaving the EU lying down were kidding themselves. May, Johnson and Truss have all been back stabbers to the Brexit movement. Slow walking it, pretending to be for it, but behind the scenes wanting back in the Euroweenie system. So they set about sabotaging the Tories deliberately whilst going through the motions of a conservative platform. Because they knew that another Conservative win would cement Brexit and that’s the last thing the torie old school elite want. They want a Labour party landslide, that will take it as a mandate to get back on the EU plantation. It will be, ‘things were better in the EU”, “in the EU we will have collective strength” and such like platitudes. If I were Israel I would start planning for the most anti Israeli British government since its’ creation. Because the storm of Israel hate is coming

Aaaaah. Here is the proof in the pudding. This explains the Ukraine-hatred and the Pro-Putin mask-wearers here.

Make certain you understand where these FREAKS are coming from.

WWII was not started by the warmongering psychopath Adolf Hitler (who planned the wars even BEFORE he was made Chancellor). It was started by Winston Churchill.

The Ukraine war was not started by the warmongering psychopath Vladimir Putin (who wants to restore the Russian Empire and hates that the nations won independence). It was started by little Ukraine.

You must now understand that these people are living in an alternate universe like the radical leftists (which they are at heart). They aren’t just pathetic, ignorant nimrods. They are dangerous and deranged. And their fake “history” is used to justify it.

And I might add, this defense of Hitler means it couldn’t be clearer who the Nazi’s are.

Thanks.

It seemed to me Truss was on the right track from what I initially heard.

Maybe I don’t know other details.

Complete LUNATIC.

Not a word of that is true.

*The US dollar is not collapsing. It is in fact growing rapidly as we speak due to the economic struggles. It is seen as a safety net for others.

*The US is already the dominant industrial power. Especially with advanced manufacturing, which is the most important. The US is the largest producer of aerospace, defense, medical, chemical, consumer goods, building materials, heavy machinery, and transportation industries. Now even furniture and textiles are restarting. Hopefully Intel can restore to full force the semiconductor industry.

*The military industrial complex doesn’t “enforce” the US dollar. The size and strength of the US economy, among other reasons, is the reason for the dollar’s dominance.

*The US didn’t “screw over” Russia’s economy. Russia’s stupendous levels of graft, corruption, and ineptitude did.

*It was wrong to invade Iraq and overthrow Ghaddafi, but it wasn’t to preserve the US dollar. Neither of them had power to hurt the dollar.

Those who take their talking points from Chomsky really don’t need to be on a conservative forum but at least the mask is off.

Nigel Farage said gettIng rid of Liz Truss was a globalist coup and whatever was left of the Conservative Party in Britain is dead.
