Nae contrition, nae aboot-turns, nae sense of self or consequence, in fact nae sense.
Now a few days further on and the likely future Prime Minister of the UK, replacing the current period where there doesn’t seem to be one, (the soon-to-be-former incumbent spending his time ticking off a bucket list of expensive things he is allowed to do at tax payer and Tory party contributor expense when he hasn’t officially resigned yet) continues to act as if she can say exactly what she likes to satisfy slabbering right-wing audiences.
She has the worrying wide-eyed fanatical look of one you wouldn’t want in your corner in a crisis,where sharp wit, calmness and good sense is required.
I don’t know for certain, but going on all evidence we as voters have been presented so far, she certainly ain’t gonnae be the most erudite visionary at the Despatch Box either.
Her aim right now is simple, to work the ranks of right-wing England into a frenzy.
She’ll say anything to catch the eye, to be the subject of discussion of the Pimms drinkers and garden party attendees of the south-east of England (as they complain about the heat and discuss how Daddy’s grandparents struggled with it in India, before coming home wealthy enough to buy the mansion style pile behind the garden they are currently sitting in).
She also hopes to enthuse those others, the more dangerous Tories, the new ‘rising’ kind, the my father was a greengrocer type (Where did we hear that before). Those who have strayed from their roots, the next generational spawn of Thatcherism. Those who are truly ruthless, selfish beyond belief, uncompromising and conscience-free in their need for greed, to get on.
Worryingly too, and this has applied across the board, as the Tories continue to lurch steadily down the road towards extreme right fascism, she is attempting to dog-whistle the narrow-minded hate-filled former UKIP mob, who lined up behind the monstrous Farage. A group not to be underrated when you consider that their major gains in local elections across England was the main reason Cameron capitulated in having a referendum on Europe in the first place.
With the coming economic strife and the world heading into ever deeper crises I honestly fear that England will sink politically, with its population hardly recognising that it is happening, into a mire akin to what would have occurred if Mosley had gotten deeper traction in the 1930’s.
Truss is weak in every way and it is obvious she will be a place keeper, but a place keeper for whom it is hard to tell.
Meanwhile she can smirk like a naughty child when she adds further insult to the belittling of the democratic rights of the people of Scotland and our First Minister https://www.facebook.com/SnpKintyre/videos/785798412422952/ all she likes. Keep it up. Insult one of us, you insult all of us.
Independence is normal, independence is inevitable, independence is coming.
