• I am raging at the pathetic inadequacy of our government. They are the worst shower of useless, lying, slimy cunts. Fuck them all.

  • TBH it's been the 'australia deal' usage that has tipped me over the edge. And David Davis. And IDS. And Liz Truss and Raab and Gove and Mogg and all the other fucking useless lying cunts who are going to be immune from the damage they are doing and will fuck off when it all goes to shit with some non-exec gig at a mate's company who have been creaming it off government contracts.

  • Interesting thought but I’d say the UK runs little risk of becoming Argentina. For one, the US and the EU both want a (relatively) prosperous and stable UK, whereas the US, Brazil, and Euro powers did quite a bit to help destabilise Argentina. Given Britain’s nukes and membership in NATO, there would likely be considerable efforts by other countries to avoid a collapse in the UK like in Argentina.

    Personally I’m concerned about UK institutions being chopped up and sold for parts. US health management organisations want to come and replace the NHS, Big Poultry wants to sell us pink slime, and Texas oilers would frack under London itself if they assessed there was a profit to be made. Would the Tory government stop them, or take a slice of the pie?

    Walshe comes across as a bit disingenuous in claiming that Argentinean elites are selfish and self-serving, while British elites are historically preoccupied by what is good for the common man. It’s not a coincidence that Marx polished his theories over the 20 years he spent in London. I don’t see the point in him demonising populists for harkening back to rose tinted glory days, and then doing the same thing.
