The Liz Truss disaster show : Comments
By Binoy Kampmark, published 10/10/2022In the end, the words from Truss hardly mattered, their inconsequential sprinkles vanishing down the drainpipe of vacant rhetoric. There was no plan for generating actual economic growth.

Liz Truss: I am reminded of a cake that looks inviting.
Nicely baked, healthy colour, a hint of fruit and spice showing here and there, an attractive topping... However, time shows it doesn't keep well.... Eating a small slice leaves a strange taste in the mouth. Will that be how her reign will go? I hope I am wrong. I hope that her native resilience will allow her to generate a logical and sabre-slashingly bold way forward. Posted by Ipso Fatso, Monday, 10 October 2022 12:38:57 PM

The lady is an economic illiterate and if she has her way on tax reform, likely to plunge the UK into a deep recession.

Another conservative ding-a-ling in a long line of conservative twits. Some want the same for Australia.

Truss is such a disaster that they're begging for Boris the clown to return.

The Forums old conserves ttbn,SM, mhaze have said nothing on this crazy woman's conservative economic philosophy as her Tory government destroys the British economy their debt is now at 100% of GDP and rising.
A warning there for Albo, stop the tax cuts for the super rich in this country, we can't afford them. Posted by Paul1405, Thursday, 13 October 2022 3:40:28 AM

All leaders are doing dumb things at the moment.
Not many of them are truly 'statesmen'. US President Joe Biden vows consequences for Saudi Arabia after OPEC+ decision http://youtu.be/rHXAq028LtU Democratic senator Bob Menendez who is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said that the United States must immediately freeze all cooperation with Saudi Arabia including arms sales. If they are dumb enough to deliberately step in shite, then they deserve whatever comes to them. - The same as Europe stepped in it, by cutting themselves off from cheap Russian energy and destroying their economies; - The US wants to cut themselves off from the cheap energy that made them what they are. The west is going to lose. Energy is far more important to any populace than weapons are. Go ahead and cut trade with Saudi Arabia, how should they respond. - By cutting off the US lifeline to cheap oil? Idiots all of them. The US talks all this crap about democracy, but when it comes to foreign policy, the US is no more than a global dictatorship itself. - And maybe far more totalitarian and uncompromising than any of the others they sound off against.

Well said AC,
On a per-capita basis Saudi Arabia, along with Kuwait and Qatar, are up there with Israel and the US when it comes to military spending. Posted by Paul1405, Friday, 14 October 2022 6:16:56 AM

These are the usual, comments from the village idiots criticising Liz Truss's credentials when they can hardly even spell economics.
Lowering peak tax rates discourage highly talented individuals from migrating to low-taxing places like Singapore and boosts consumer spending and economic growth. Albozo having promised not to stop the tax changes doesn't want to break yet another election promise. Posted by shadowminister, Friday, 14 October 2022 7:00:47 AM

Hi SM,
Truss is 'Iron Balls' Thatcher without the handbag! SM, pushing another variant of the discredited "trickle-down theory"; tax breaks and benefits for corporations and the wealthy will trickle down to everyone else, eventually reaching even the Village Nazi, as he goes about his menial task of cleaning up after the village K9's have done their business.

Paul,
You wouldn't recognise trickle-down economics if it bit you on the arse. The green theory is everything is better when you soak the rich. The problem is that this has been disproven again and again. The innovators and entrepreneurs are what drive economic growth, not union flunkeys. Most countries are cutting back on taxes leaving the UK and Australia at the higher end of income tax and corporate tax. This is not a concept that fringe parties such as the greens have the IQ to grasp. Posted by shadowminister, Friday, 14 October 2022 11:04:54 AM

SM,
Britain is fast becoming an economic basket case, and not undue in no small measure to Tory incompetence. Bug Ridden Boris was a complete fruit loop and this Truss woman is no better, with assuming leadership a couple of week ago Truss has shown herself, and her flunkies, to be complete economic numbskulls. Australia unfortunately saddled with a trillion dollars of Liberal Party debt because of their crazy generosity to the likes of Gerry Harvey is in no position to give big tax cuts to the mega rich, the likes of Gerry Harvey. Nothing in it for you SM, no tax cut for the menials around the village. Posted by Paul1405, Friday, 14 October 2022 12:19:20 PM

Kwasi Kwartang sacked.
If you watched the things I watch, you'd know it was coming. Will Truss be forced out next? Regime change plot in UK. Dark times ahead http://youtu.be/vKsfyNGJTrg Posted by Armchair Critic, Friday, 14 October 2022 9:44:06 PM

The Tories have managed to turn Britain into a third rate, sorry fourth rate, economy, the country is now in the same economic league as the Congo and Suriname, thanks to conservative cock-eyed policies, being economically out performed by the Central African Republic and Nigeria!
If Australia had continued with the Morrison Mob within three years we would be in same disastrous position as Tory Britain. Posted by Paul1405, Saturday, 15 October 2022 8:37:14 AM

Pauliar,
Once again you are talking out of your backside. When Thatcher took over in 1979 Britain suffered under the socialist policies of Labor. The country was almost bankrupt and its GDP ranked 4th or 5th in the EU. Thatcher's changes supercharged the economy to one of the fastest growing in Europe to the point where its GDP is second only to Germany. Posted by shadowminister, Monday, 17 October 2022 10:56:14 AM

The Muppet Show At Westminster - featuring Liz Truss.

"When Thatcher took over in 1979" ancient history Shonky. Thatcher was a murderer and a warmonger, she destroyed the lives of millions of Britain's through her anti-worker economic policies. Truss is a fool, driven by right wing ideology which she is now trying to reverse.
You're not wrong AC, its a Muppet show in Britain with a bunch of fools in charge. Posted by Paul1405, Wednesday, 19 October 2022 5:09:56 AM

Ah Shonky!
Your sure can pick em', What a loser. The woman was a complete Wally! Your kind of conservative politician. We've had our fools here, Howard, Abbott and Morrison to name three more recent, but Truss was in a class of her own, she made Bug Ridden Boris look good, and that's saying something. Look at the Opposition Leader, Mr Potato Head Dutton, another getting ready for the high jump! Posted by Paul1405, Friday, 21 October 2022 4:33:03 AM

Pauliar,
Once again you confuse me exposing your lies as support for Liz Truss. Regarding losers, Adam (bum) Bandit has yet another crook on his hands in the form of the unrehabilitated bankrupt, biker moll and all-around empty vessel Lidia Thorpe. This adds to the conga line of homophobes, antisemites, paedophiles (Doig etc), and crooks that have found their home in the greens. Posted by shadowminister, Friday, 21 October 2022 7:12:52 AM
