      Japanese Knotweed cannot be eradicated in in a day. Likewise, to remove all the traces of this overgrown and greedy bully of a political culture means locating and removing it's ability to take root again. The current government is only the visible part of the ecosytem, and removing that will do little to prevent it taking root again. We cannot be complacent and imagine that just Starmer gets a majority in Parliament is Mission Accomplished. Not by a long chalk.
      As Voltaire said, "People will cease to commit atrocities only when they cease to believe absurdities." And as a nation, we've bought into some absurd notions that made us complicit in our own suffering. And atrocities is not too strong a word for many of the things done to ourselves and others by our misplaced priorities. We need to forget about blame, and encourage accountability. We've played with tearing down stuff to get our way, and have just ended up with more problems than we started with. Time to have patient, diligent and accountable government again. And we have to do our part. Westminster isn't only responsible. We have to start taking ourselves seriously, before anyone else will. And we have to accept that we have to change before things will get better. We have to be the change we want to see in the world before it can happen.

    The Tories are over, it's finished, the rats are deserting in their droves now. Starmer may win this by sheer default, because the way this is going the Tories won't be able to find candidates to fight these seats now going. And which wag thought it a good idea for Sunak to visit the Titanic Museum today on this the second full day of campaigning? Could've been worse, it could've been a visit to an umbrella factory. This whole thing is becoming more Pythonesque by the day. I'm beginning to wonder whether this election was called because the PM got wind of either a growing rebellion against him or that letters were flooding in thick and fast to the 1922 committee, thus staving off a bruising leadership contest by going to the nation. But the way things are now who is going to lead them? Who have they got left? After July 4th it may well be a case of a weekly guest leader rather like the host's chair on Have I Got News For You.....

    We don't vote for people so they can sing a foreign national anthem. John Redwood has done a grand job and always contributed intelligent debate, and is a much better economist than his critics. I'm truly sad to see him go, but for the others I simply have not heard of them.

    • @CuriousCrow-mp4cx
      @CuriousCrow-mp4cx 23 дні тому

      Lol. You haven't been around very long. If Redwood was any sort of Economist, he would have understood that no country can defy economic gravity, and wouldn't have backed Brexit. He would have done the opposite. Economics as a discipline is wedded to the Scientific Method. Redwood and Minford were wedded to their ideologies and wallets instead, and put aside concrete evidence and facts. I remember his exclamation being caught by the excellent microphones in parliament of how he would have to get his money out of the country. Funny that the press or the Beeb didn't jump on that sebtiment. If only what Jacques Delors said about him and the other Brexiteers were true. All Redwood proves is that Voltaire was right when he said: "People will cease to commit atrocities only when they cease to believe absurdities." And boy, nearly 5 decades of believing the absurdities of the Redwoods in our midst has worked out well, hasn't it?

      @@CuriousCrow-mp4cx Voltaire was one of the intellectuals behind the French Revolution, which was the outcome of one of the worst cases of ideological thinking in history. It turned out so bloody that the proponents of it were dismayed by their own handiwork. They never wanted it to turn out as it did, but then you can see how emotion can be a dangerous thing.
      Redwood in my view is an adherent to tried and tested capitalist principles of fair competition. Who can say how Brexit will work out in ten years. The world is a complicated thing and it depends on how we approach it. I think we need to forge good trade relations with the Far East and rebuild British manufacturing. We have to move fast and be certain what we are doing though. Who knows what Labour will do, since they wont tell us, so by extension we can not know how well Brexit will work.
