The Liz Truss Travesty Becomes Britain’s Humiliation
Britain's resurgent nationalism has so metastasized they will knowingly elect and re-elect a buffoon just to keep Britain "British." They used to say the sun never sets on the British empire. Now I don't even think it rises there anymore. It's funny but I could feel it when they held the Olympics in 2012 with the James Bond and Beatles themes--this sense of their being a second-world power trying to cling to their past colonial glory. It's over, England. Johnny Rotten had it right all along.
We do, thanks in large part to the same ideology. The difference is in England they'd play the Beatles for nostalgia, while here we would listen to Springsteen's "Glory Days."
From sources other than the above link it appears that his general financial approach is generally similar to the one recently introduced by Jeremy Hunt, which replaced the disastrous Liz Truss version.
