    It breaks my heart to hear about the children going without meals. I grew up during the Recession and my family regularly didn't have enough food. In my mind I'm immediately there, hungry all the time, unable to focus on school and watching my mom pretend she's full so my brother and I can have her food. The damage is irrevocable. The feeling of uncertainty. The pain of watching your siblings and parents starve and being helpless. I am praying for all UK families, especially the children because this will continue to impact them for years to come.

      The accountability of throwing your country under the bus because of inner-party power games? Well, the whole party seems to take a lot of responsibility for that. I bet you don't even get what I'm alluding to. It doesn't matter, their whole agenda is irresponsible neo-liberal bullshit set up and now carried out by billionaires and also only benefitting them and the politicians on their payroll.
      If there was any accountability for causing hundreds of thousands of children to go hungry, the economy to recess, inflation and more and more lunatics to "serve" as PMs and doing what they want before apparently getting bored and going back to sniffling glue, that party would not rule again for 30 years.

She's truly the Sarah Palin of Britain without the religious nuttiness. Not even she knows why she puts the words she chooses into one sentence together. She's mental and a dumbass, and she wouldn't have been there in the first place if the Tories weren't racist enough to pick Sunak right away, although he's most likely gonna screw some minorities and working class people even more being a billionaire leech that profits of crises like all the other billionaires.

    The reason GB had 4 prime ministers in 6 years is Brexit.. A lot of the economic problems the GB has experienced is simply from a staggering failure to realize the problems and challenges brexit has exposed the GB economy to. A lot of the problems has been disguised by the corona pandemic and lately the Ukraine war, however at some point GB needs to have serious discussions not just about the brexit and the frankly self-destructive policies of the GB in regards to the EU, but also about the possibilities and challenges that GBs economy faces and how to deal with them..

The most severe by far for sure, but only a symptom. Brexit cost you about 4% of your economic output, and will do further damage in the future, for sure, but it is by far not the only problem the British have. I do not know why the British elites act as they do, but best wishes to you!

    • @milesjolly6173
      @milesjolly6173 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree we should have another election to wipe the slate clean and start again, but Tories will say that Boris won an election in 2019, and they wouldn't be wrong. Technically, according to the Fixed Term Parliament Act of 2011, they don't need to call another election until 2024.
      Keir Starmer could force an election, but he would need more than half of all MPs to support him which would include some Conservative MPs. They probably wouldn't vote for that because it might not be good for their job security.
      I personally think we need a new law that says that whenever we get a new prime minister who didn't become prime minister by winning a general election, parliament is automatically dissolved and a new general election begins. That way the new prime minister has to actually get a mandate or they have to go. It probably wouldn't be a perfect system but it might work better than what we have now.
      I think a general election campaign in this country is around 6-7 weeks, which interestingly is roughly the amount of time since Truss became prime minister. So assuming that parliament had been dissolved as soon as she moved into No. 10 and the campaign was 6-7 weeks as I mentioned, we should have had an election right about now.
      I don't know who I'd vote for or if I'd even bother voting, but I think people should be given a say.

      Not only was she not held responsible but also she goes away with a £115,000 salary for life! She's 47, so the UK taxpayer could end up paying that for another 40 years.

    All these shouldn't have happened to Great Britain! To be honest with you, it's a shameful situation and moment!!!
    It seems like Britain runs out of smart people!!!
    Britain had a remarkable Queen and as she gone, it's looks like many good things are going away from Britain!
    When David Cameron the excellent prime minister once said, " I don't want to be the Captain of sinking ship" maybe he knew what he was talking about! I now believe that excellent prime minister knew this turmoil before it happened!
    All the main chaos came as the man who rebel against the excellent prime minister and the man who gave his back on his friend Mr Boris Johnson became prime minister. The way he was pushing children, the way he was portrayed himself, I just knew something is not right with this man!
    He first pretended as he doesn't want to be a prime minister by saying, "I am not that man" then right away became on the position that he wanted to be in expenses of his good friend the excellent prime minister, the well presentable David Cameron! And in expenses of the entire world and the great Country!!!
    What happened as he became prime minister 🤔
    1. Covid!!! and he was dancing as if mission accomplished 🤔
    2. Russia Ukraine war! Guess Who showed up in Ukraine before anyone else 🤔 of course Mr Johnson putting the entire United Kingdom in the greatest risk as a big cow moron!!!
    Why does a leader create chaos 🤔
    Simple! To steal!!! Because chaos is a gateway for a thieves!!!
    Because when a house is burning, it's easy to steal!!!
    Britain lost the key role in EU while Britain should be the main part of EU!!!
    After Mr Johnson, Britain went down the hill!!!
    He messed everything more than he messed his hair!
