Truss, Hancock, Johnson, Patel, Raab and the rest are a great example of how imbeciles often overachieve through sheer lack of self awareness.

 

People who're genuinely smart, creative or otherwise intelligent are often crippled with self doubt, fear of failure and lack of self esteem. Not these though. Where there's no sense there's no feeling.

The patients are most definitely running the asylum. And it’s the patients armed with shiva and tattoos that are closest to the entrance.

Well, if they've got a God on their side someone best let them through the entrance.

This by the Guardians George Monibot is imo probably the greatest 9 minutes of political analysis you are ever likely to see/hear. 

 

It's absolutely superb.

Say what you like but this what a private education does for many people, gives them a work ethic and masses of self confidence. I've seen it many times, fuckwits but with the ability to front it out.

If the best the powerful, super rich, Neo Liberal Conspiracy can come up with is Liz  Truss then as a movement they are as fucked as the rest of us. Her actions and the markets total rejection of her policies illustrate than even the wealthy can reject the very very extreme. In a bizarre twist the very instrument of open capitalism may have saved us. What may ultimately save us and destroy them is by taking away our ability to be active in a consumer driven economy we deprive them of the very source of their wealth.

In a similar vein. Another excellent piece on the publics perception of government debt pushed by Laura and her mates in the media.

The problem is in time they'll find another mouthpiece who's far more competent than Liz the lettuce.

 

I agree on the last part of your post. You make a good point.

According to Dominic Cummings. Boris Johnson, David Cameron and rest of the private schoolboy Bullington crew were the laziest bunch of fuckers he's ever encountered, and he's cut from the same cloth.

 

Although I'm sure their expensive education qualifies them to hand out a few life lessons on improving the 'work ethic' of some comprehensive kid who leaves school to work ten hours a day on a building site.

 

Edit; Truss and co rose to the top and were continually promoted partly because they were deemed to stupid to be a threat to those who promoted them. It was a strategy of self preservation by those pulling the strings.

Another handicap a lot of  comprehensive school kids have is more social issues, issues which are out of their control. Bad housing being a major one, it causes major problems within the family. It then makes the kids lose focus and dents motivation, holds them back.

These people are taught how to control objects  and situations but not how to lead people. As Muhammad Ali said, any use of power that isn’t about caring is an abuse of power.

Yeah a good example being Matt Hancock. George Osbornes tea boy. Apparently did badly against the other candidates when surprisingly winning the nomination for his constituency. Then promoted well beyond his abilities because Cummings and Johnson knew they could push him around, get rid of him at will and he'd pose no threat. Apparently every member of Johnsons first cabinet had to look into his eyes and repeat his line 'I trust you Boris' in front of a room full of advisers. Like some public schoolboy ritual showing obedience. I recall one lady (can't remember her name or job) protested and Cummings ordered armed police to show her out the doors of number 10.

In fairness the Johnson, Cameron and that Bullington club mob didn't really need to try very hard, their path was mapped. Below them are a lot of middle class parents with pointy elbows who put their children into private schools and push hard them hard to achieve the results which will push them up the fuckwit greasy poll of social standing.

Just to pick on this and I'm not denying your point which is correct. The handshake thing is often misunderstood. If several candidates for a post are interviewed and one is a member of your golf club, football team, yoga group you are more likely to give it to them. The is exacerbated in the Masons because membership implies honesty, integrity  and a shared belief system. It is not some secret cabal designed to take over the world. This may be different in the elite echelons but there are just as many plebs here as everywhere who attend because the drink is cheap and there are no women.

She fucked off and hid for a week before that.  She's back again.

Loads of right wing media types coming out to bat for her. 

What the fuck is the meaning of that picture of Che Guevara dressed as Nelson on the wall behind her?

I understand your point yeah. It was the ‘coincidence’ that made me laugh. No, of course not. It’s a wonder there hasn’t been a fake terror attack.
