She must, at least one time, have possessed some academic ability having attended Oxbridge.
Academic ability, marginally, in my experience. Critical reasoning, absolutely no guarantee of that. There were plenty of people at Cambridge who got good results by memorising a lot of stuff, and then regurgitating it on demand during exams.
I was always puzzled by Truss. She must, at least one time, have possessed some academic ability having attended Oxbridge. What on earth did she learn there? Surely one of the key points of a prestigious education is the ability to question alleged 'certainties' whether in personal or public life. I was puzzled and confused by her entire program and repelled by her ideological blinkered determination to persist with practices which commanded no intellectual support or validation. I wonder at the intellectual capacity and tortuous thought processes of someone who views herself (as a Conservative Prime Minister) as a guerrilla ideologist operating behind the rear lines of the establishment! Truly, a modern conservative politician is a strange beast to behold.
