    Nobody is simply casting a judgment on Truss after four weeks. The Tories have been in power for twelve years! She's been in key roles in the last three successive cabinets! Her entire political career is littered with some of the most bizarre nonsensical gibberish inflicted upon anyone's ears. She's rolling ahead with policies the party never put to the people, or worse still completely contradict their last manifesto. No mandate, unelected, uncosted, undemocratic, utterly insane liar ...
    Yeah ... but, give her a chance ...

And if you had any knowledge outside of the US, you would know all of your historical arguments began here, much like all of your laws, traditions and culture. Dundee, like all of Scotland, has opposed the kind of politics that Truss is trying to force upon it. With her now inventing enemies to rouse her rabble of right wing xenophobes.

Some of us have known it for years and have never voted for them but at last the mass of voters are beginning to realise it too and will hopefully never vote for them again. Fortunately for us in Scotland we do have an alternative by declaring our independence from the corrupt and dysfunctional UK.

In order to create yet another emergency and wheel out a new financial system using digital currency to track all transactions and enforce social engineering to restrict the population for the lunatic green net zero agenda.

Things are almost never thrown into action without putting it to Parliament and debate and sending it up to the Lords for further debate.

    Everyone may make mistakes but you have to own them, learn from them and repair the damage and then not make them again. Since 2019 each government and cabinet has failed to do any of that - they lie to cover up their mistakes, lie to cover up their lies and then just carry on messing up
    Also if you make mistakes when in a posterior of power you really should expect to lose that power

    I don't know who the person is defending Truss at the start because 'we don't know her yet' but he's talking absolute crap. As someone who's had her as the local MP since 2010, nothing about the current situation is a surprise because she's bloody awful. Likewise, a cursory reference to her record serving in ministerial positions during her Parliamentary career demonstrates her unsuitability for any role as a public servant, no interest in details or a grasp of her ministerial briefs and responsibilities, only interested in power and feathering her own nest. Sadly makes her a prime example of the capricious bunch of charlatans that is the Tory party. 12+ of utter misery driven by lies and fearmongering that has ruined millions of lives. Vote them out and never let them back in.

    It is mad. People say, "Oh, everyone makes mistakes!". But going back to the pilot comparison: Imagine that one pilot has flown half the flight and then the other pilot (for example) takes over. (Imagine that it in a airliner but that in this analogy they are flying manually, without autopilot..). If the first pilot says "your airspeed is a little bit low" that would be understandable if they'd tried to continue as before. But if the first thing that copilot did when he took hold of the controls is to drastically change direction, speed and altitude as Truss intends to and has done, then "everyone makes mistakes" is harder to fall back on.
