The UK has had some of the most banal, insiped leadership for awhile now. It seems to me that this is both a tragic and entirely predictable outcome that's ultimately going to hurt everyday folks the most.
- throwyawayyyy 4y agoIn fairness, the set of lunatics currently in charge are anything but banal. Banal and insipid would be lovely. Banal and insipid wouldn't e.g. blow up our relationship with Europe, or attempt to out-Thatcher Thatcher. I'd love banal and insipid right now...
- socialismisok 4y agoHahaha, fair. I (personally) find them evil but in like a creeping sort of way. But on the flip side I just think of Liz Truss bragging about opening new pork markets and I cannot imagine anything more banal.
- throwyawayyyy 4y agoI'll give you the pork-markets speech, yes. No, please, take it! :) Maybe the word is bathos. She wants to be Thatcher but is cursed with a modicum of humanity.
- bergenty 4y agoThat’s populism for ya. Watch Italy, Hungary and Russia end up like this over the next year.
- zimpenfish 4y ago> this is both a tragic and entirely predictable outcome Well, Sunak did predict during the leadership contest that this would happen - admittedly we haven't had the actual IMF in yet but if there's another severe slump, I wouldn't bet against it.
