So I figured I would look into Liz Truss. Seems with the new king and with the new PM the UK is in for "interesting times".

King Charles seems to be rather progressively minded about several issues but Liz Truss and co might as well be called the "Make Britain an empire again" party. Their writings like Britannia Unchained seems like a very unambiguous manifesto for restoring Britain to it's former glory but under the Tories instead of the crown and swapping traditional colonial economy for very American style right wing economic theory.

Yikes.

Dramatised overstatement designed to win favour with those who are not educated in history.

@JohnOinger Just for the math to work MarkPaul would have entered university at under the age of 10 to have all the credentials he has given himself on this site.

She'll give even more power to corporations. More corporate greed, just what Britan needs.

@Pitchblue If you are curious to know a bit more about the subject look up British Joint Stock companies.

Many of these companies even had their own militaries.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow It's heading in that direction again.

@Pitchblue Agreed. Alot of our countries functionally answer to massive corporations all over again.

Charles will be fine. He'll be clearer in his backing of a progressive agenda than the Queen was, but ultimately he won't openly interfere in UK politics.

The Britannia Unchained gang are the real concern. Trickle down economics has never succeeded in anything but making the rich richer and increasing the divide between the haves and the have nots. With the UK as divided as it's been in living memory, that's a dangerous path to go down right now... oh, and whilst Truss has some political nous, her ex-lover, Kwarteng, is completely unhinged!

Turbulent times ahead. Can imagine a Poll Tax riots-type scenario developing over the Winter/Spring.

King Charles Making Britian Better Again Or Worse LOL😆

@JohnOinger I am just saying it is bizarre to hear Trudeau talk about how Charles started the conversation with Canada on how they can help mend the damage of colonialism and the PM (Liz Truss) has been talking about a new empire for a decade now.

Oh, so it's Lizzie and Mags all over again.

@LordShadowfire Sort of. But Liz Truss and co talk like they want to restore Britain to where it was when Eilzabeth took the throne in 1953. There is no way that doesn't get messy.
