This government is a shitshow! And if Liz Truss takes over the reins of government, it will become a shittiershow! The woman is bloody clueless. She is also heartless. The last thing this country needs at this time is more Thatcherism. It is Thatcherism that has got us into the mess we are in right now.

Arguably, Thatcherism was what the country needed back in the day—about forty years ago—but her doctrine has past its sell-by date. Thatcher was a wonderful leader in her time. But these are different times, and we have different problems to solve. Different problems call for different solutions.

I am no big fan of Rishi Sunak, especially because he was/is a Brexiteer, which is anathema to me and my worldview; but he would be infinitely better as a leader than the clueless Truss. Let us all hope and pray for a miracle! – © Mark Alexander
