[Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

[Is it PotG?]

Did you attend public school?

No, as I said.

I went to posh Balfour, Dorothy Stringer and Varndean VI Form.

Then, with respect please don’t presume to tell me that my view of my experience of public school is inaccurate. No argument or row but just a respectful request not to dismiss my experience. You can’t know. You were not there and nor do you have a remotely comparable experience.

Ok chief, keep yer hair on.

No offence guv.

Still, I maintain that outdated views are not helpful.

That presupposes that knowledge only arises with experience, which is a highly dubious claim.

Correct. But insight requires experience.

Everyone thinks they do, no one does, we know how our bit of the real world works, and even then some of us are blind to some of that.

Most Private schools are very good, and many ordinary people work hard to afford to send their kids to good private schools. There is an issue though with some Public schools, like Eton, they seem to be so good at instilling confidence and self belief into their students, that some utter ****wits are convinced they are amongst the most capable by virtue of having been at Eton, usually have family in influential positions, and are well connected, by having been to Eton, to people that will end up in influential positions through nepotism and the old school tie.

Interesting that Rees Mogg of the 18th Century took his son, also of the same era, to the changeover of the PMs in Downing Street. On what was a schoolday for most of the riff-raff. Or maybe he was on an inset day. Being able to wander around the corridors of power and meet and great politicians in power stands one in good stead for a future role of leadership. Even if supremely untalented and incapable. God help us. Here comes another of that ilk.

Is there any reason Sky News has Truss: Day16 £-$ tracker? Are they expecting worse than I am?

 

[TomandJerry]

Rumours of letters of no confidence going in, Truss being removed...

I heard rumours of this on Monday.
Hopefully it's true.

Where the bloody hell is the Prime Minister? We're in the middle of a whole series of crises, and she's vanished.

To quote Robert Peston this morning, Kwasi Kwarteng is 'toast'

All set up for an interesting Tory Party Conference next week!

 

[Bob!]

A ploy to get De Pfeffel back in charge?
No thanks.

In a fridge? They're quite popular with recent Tory leaders.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Wasn't the Liz Truss thread good enough T&J?

The 1922 committee will have to change the rules because as it stands Truss is ok for 12 months.

 

[dazzer6666]

Mods….thread title needs changing. Hardly ‘incoming’ is it ?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Boris back in charge before Christmas?

Surely Lizzie would try and copy what Thatcher would have done. What would Thatcher have done?

 

[nicko31]

She said she didn't mind being unpopular.

I never talk politics in business but has 2 people in the past 24 hours have a full rant..

Impressed they can afford the electricity to use a toaster. Stale bread only for most families this winter.
