Liz Truss, folks

Nathan @churchofwolves <—- the author and a ‘mutual’ on twitter (we follow each other – he lives in Glasgow.)

Truss fails upwards, tanks the economy, eats shit on the international stage and nets herself 12x the state pension annually for life. Burn this fucking country to the ground.

LizTruss will be entitled to claim up to £115,000 per year from the taxpayer for the rest of her life once she leaves office, despite likely being one of the shortest-serving prime ministers in history.

Based on average life expectancy that’s upwards of FOUR MILLION QUID for TWO MONTHS of being an unmitigated omnishambles.

I’m going to be raging about this all day, fuck.

 

 

I just had to share unmitigated omnishambles with you.

So… someone in the UK slapped two googly eyes on a head of lettuce and asked the internet to bet if it would outlast Liz Truss. Current betting is …. not looking good.

WHILE I WAS TYPING THAT I LEARNED SHE RESIGNED.

Much love to Ontie Mary this morning. I told the story to Jeff over breakfast yesterday of what happened when she watched Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope with her kids in the theatre. As I recollect the story she sussed the movie as being CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD and cheered the heroes and yelled at the villains ….

and got told to behave by her kids.

no.

says.

aunt.

Mary.

during the night

I woke up and realized the air quality was much better. It’s not clear but the elephant got off my chest.

By ditching Anjali Appadurai the BC NDP have indicated SO many things.

  1. Don’t want someone who isn’t beholden to the CPC getting the nom, let alone elected
  2. Currently existing troughpigs in the NDP might get rooted out
  3. Got to keep all but the police unions in line
  4. WHY ON EARTH WOULD THEY WANT MORE YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE PARTY except to work hard and do what they’re told
  5. WHY ON EARTH WOULD THEY WANT TO LET A BUNCH OF FORMER GREENS INTO THE PARTY to challenge them on policy
  6. Why would they let a bunch of young people who are against non stop resource extraction in the teeth of global climate change into the party?
  7. Why would they want people who are for justice and reconciliation (Deeds, not Words) with respect to Indigenous anywhere near the reins?
  8. I could talk about misogyny and racism too but I spose you can take it as read.
