Scottish Tory Leader Gets Laughed At in Awful Question Time Appearance

Douglas Ross had a rough time on Question Time, getting slated by the panel and audience for trying to defend Liz Truss' government.

I have stated on this blog many times before that I think that the Conservative Party needs to go the way of the Whigs: into extinction! What they have done to this country, especially with and since Brexit is totally and utterly unforgiveable. We should never have been brought out of the European Union. Nobody in his right mind would walk away from the biggest single market in the world: The Single Market. One has to have sawdust for brains to believe that such an act of self-harm could lead to economic success.

As a result of Brexit, this country’s economy is forecast to shrink year on year for the next ten years. So what is this poppycock Liz Truss is talking about wanting “growth, growth, growth”? If she truly had wanted growth, she would never have changed her politics from being a Remainer to being a Brexiteer. Clearly, she did that for one reason only: for self-advancement.

She spouts extreme-right dogma about economic growth, the neoliberal idea that by making the already mega-rich richer still, economic growth will be stimulated. And then, by some miracle, some wonder, it will trickle down to the ‘little people’. That is balderdash: economic make-believe! Voodoo economics if you will.

So here we have it: an ex-bean-counter, an accountant, as a prime minister and a practitioner of voodoo economics as her chancellor. The results are plain to see; and will go down in the history books under the title, Tory Folly.

Let us hope that one day soon, this country will have a forward-looking, business-friendly, Europe-friendly party that will be capable of making this country prosperous and equitable. A party that understands that the economy must work for the many, not just the super-privileged few. © Mark Alexander
