UK rescission

So here we go after 13 years and counting of Tory Governments , of failed polices, the big elephant in the room Brexit they can't even mention we have inflation now the highest in the G7, food inflation even higher taxes being raised more and more with it expected to be raised even more from today.

The Chancellor said a few weeks ago he'd rather the UK went into rescission to sort out inflation, well now because of thier mismanagement of the country, being too busy fighting amongst themselves , busy protecting Boris, defending all of their failed policies and defending Boris and Truss Honours lists to the House of Lords

With RIshi who was only elected by the Conservative MPs and not even by the party members ( and remember he lost to Truss and the Lettuce) who said he'd get inflation down, build the economy blah, blah; blah, blah

now the choice is either leave inflation as it is or cause a UK rescission as a lot of the inflation now is being caused by UK polices

We still have the same problems as we did decades ago if not worse now of which many caused by Conservative Governments

Before you moan yes some problems are from Labour Government were only in Government for 13 of the last 44 years

England is predominantly a small "c" conservative, right-leaning nation (the NHS being the only socialist exception to the rule). Most Tories are actually furious with Johnson that, after gaining a record-breaking majority in 2019, including vast swathes of the Red Wall, his inherent faults have utterly destroyed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Conservative Party to completely dominate the political landscape for the foreseeable future. Instead, Johnson has wrought devastation that could take a generation to recover from. I don't wholly blame the Tories, they are creatures of habit simply acting true to their selfish nature. I blame the electorate who handed them the power they subsequently abused.

@Richard65 you can add Schools, roads, BBC, CH4, Network Rail to the list plus all the furlough schemes, wind fall tax too.

Some are furious with hi but if they were ALL truly were they'd have all turned up to vote in Parliament and not make school boy excuses why they weren't there .

The Tories have it all to blame themselves they knew what they were taking on when they made him leader and then become PM

Yes voters have to start taking accountability too as politics does affect us and its not just a joke vote or the lame excuse I don't vote so that's my vote

@Richard65 have to remember that the record breaking majority was based on an undeliverable lie though (that Brexit could be "done" and we could all march on together to sunlit uplands), so wouldn't have mattered who was in charge. Johnson, being a bit of a dick, obviously made it worse but it was always going to end badly, no matter who was in charge.

Reality bites.

@PSuss1 I disagree slightly in that Boris was a perfect storm of shit who was wholly unfit for office as his extensive previous history amply displayed. I know people don't often have time to research such politicians fully, but anyone with any understanding could see Johnson would prove catastrophic for the UK, and not just because of Brexit.

@PSuss1 yes i remember it well, we will have the same deal if we leave, the same access, etc, etc

The problem wasnt just Boris it was the whole party they couldnt decide what was the best way and they decided to get rid of May to force Boris on us

The deal May had was better than what was agreed under Boris and Rushi so the tories can fully own the last 13 uears and counting

@Richard65 no disagreement here, quite the opposite in fact, Johnson is a narcissistic clown with absolutely zero interest in bettering the lives of others, only in lining his own pockets. He has no real belief in Brexit, other than as a means to an end (i.e. him being PM)

@PSuss1 famously, he wrote two speeches regarding Brexit, one to say what a success it would be and another stating how disastrous it would prove. He wrote them in preparation for the referendum result. David Cameron spoke of how he challenged Johnson on his Leave stance, stating that Johnson had never expressed an anti-EU sentiment, and Johnson replied, "the UK would never be dumb enough to actually leave the EU, but the campaign will raise my profile significantly."
