Whatever faces the UK, it's complex. To prosper we will need these:
Careful, long term thinking
Objectivity in difficult tradeoffs
Honesty, shrewd negotiation
Deep analysis and preparation
Dedicated ruthless planning
Meanwhile it's #Bodger #Johnson's Queens Speech.
Chances? ❌
This dichotomy is just weird:
Take #Brexit.
Imagine, if you can; your passion for extracting the UK from the EU was unpersuaded by any argument to the contrary.
OK.
But did you think doing it was so simple that Slapdash-cover-the-cracks Bodger was the guy to run it?
Out of the blue, we faced a Global #COVID19 Pandemic.
OK,caught a little short with the No 10 leadership. It happens.
But maybe reconsider when you found out he dodged all the scientific briefings at the start to write a book?
You wanted to #Bodger your way through?
If you'd swallowed everything until that point, then even as the most loyal fan, Barnard Castle was a touch embarassing.
It troubles me less that you forgave him through loyalty.
It troubles me more you thought it was somehow in your interest to accept such brazen lies,
Is this something you think is weird or forbidden?
Something #Conservative men in the suburbs don't want their wives to know?
It's not just that he hands out pain to you.
It's certainly not unexpected.
Your dark secret is you want #Bodger to hurt you.
Give it to me baby!
Well lucky you, you're going to get just what you desire.
When #Bodger tells you he wants to use new #Brexit freedoms to level up the #HumanRights act, read carefully...
Your human rights are reduced
Your ability to sue the Government decreases
Judicial review is shut down
When #Raab tells you he wants to enhance Freedom of Speech, listen carefully...
Protections created for you after the phone hacking fiasco are the target.
What we need, clearly, is more protections for off shore billionaire Newspaper Owners, in case you sue them for lying.
There is no legitimate reason for this Government to take away your rights.
The only beneficiaries are unaccountable people who don't wish to be held to account.
With these changes the #Bodger Government are reversing decades of improvements in your rights.
Clandestinely!
