We are currently witnessing the largest political crisis in the United Kingdom of the last century.
Recap:
In 2010 David Cameron became Prime Minister after Nick Clegg decided he would rather form a coalition with the mercantilist/fascist Tories versus the left-of-center Labour. I hope Nick Clegg burns in hell for eternity for what he did.
David Cameron actively campaigned for Brexit which I consider the stupidest foreign policy decision of self-sabotage of my lifetime a Democracy has put itself through. He was a terrible Prime Minister.
He was then replaced by “Brexit means Brexit” Theresa May who utterly failed to pull Britain out of the economic crisis it finds itself in. She is untalented, unintelligent, and one of the worst prime ministers in history. She will be noted by historians as one of their most incompetent and least influential prime ministers in their history. Some leaders make history, while others let history push them around. Theresa May is the latter.
Boris Johnson is a total brute. He has the mannerisms of Donald Trump and makes Arnold Rimmer look like a genius. He led Britain off the cliff.
When it became obvious that Boris Johnson’s policies were destroying the British economy, as the costs of trade barriers start to be felt by average Britons, he did what any other self-serving incompetent lemming does and jumped off a cliff. Because that is all he is good for.
Liz Truss became Prime Minister last month and led a campaign of tax cuts for the wealthy, and general economic armageddon as someone’s who’s brain has taken a complete holiday since she left university and drove the pound to be worth almost as little as the plastic it is printed on.
The Tories are incapable of leadership. Jeremy Corbyn is gone (thank God), and Nick Clegg is as politically relevant as George H. W. Bush at this point in time. It’s time for a new government where Britain sends the Tories to the back bench for a generation and elects either a Labour government, a Liberal Democrat government, or a coalition Labour-LibDem government.
I may be American, but these are my opinions. I want Britain to prosper, and I want the fascists out of office.
Honestly, this is far worse than any economic crisis Western Europe has seen since World War II. This is worse than the austerity crisis. The austerity crisis was caused by mercantilist governments of Northern Europe punishing southern European countries through the Euro for having an economic recession in 2008 (like everyone) through policies which only made their economies worse. The British economic crisis we are witnessing is a 100% self-inflicted wound, caused only by the piss poor quality of most British media (basically with the exceptions of The Economist and the Financial Times, the only British publications worth the paper they are printed on), consistent lying by most British media and politicians (with the clear exception of Liberal Democrats and SNP) of what Brexit would have meant, and now we are seeing the consequence anyone with half a bachelor’s degree in economics could have easily predicted. This is worse than the austerity crisis for that reason alone.
