    Perhaps, but the only response I've heard so far to Truss's ridiculous writ is laughter from all sides. It won't silence Starmer and it won't impress Musk or the American loonies of his ilk. It doesn't have the ring of 'carefully constructed conspiratorial policy' at all, just idiocy.

    I think Truss's view is similar to that of the rest of the Conservative Party now.

    If it's not a lie, it isn't true.

    Be that as it may, using the law to try to silence Starmer's free speech seems a very odd way to impress Elon Musk. I think the 'malicious idiot' theory is still on the table.

    Take a step back. Any part of their supposed ideology bears no scrutiny in terms of offering a logical or coherent way forward. They are in the business of causing society to self harm, so that they can exploit it. There is no argument to be won, because any logical analysis of their position would lead you to conclude that you would be deranged to sign up to it.

    So instead they are using the Russian intelligence services tactics developed to destabilise the central American countries during the cold war.... But with added blitzkrieg thanks to the speed and automatic dissemination of social media.

    Your zone is being flooded. You are trying to make sense of it, but that's your undoing. They aren't playing by your rules. There is no integrity or honestly to be found here. They are intentionally fucking with you.

    We allowed this person to become the political leader of our country.

    All she did that a "normal person" could stop is win an electorate. The rest of the astonishing chain of incompetence, corruption, malice and negligence that led to her becoming PM is entirely on Tory MPs and members.
    Those people should have invalidated their right to vote with that.

    The older I get, the more I realise the idiocy of the concept of universal suffrage. I simply cannot understand how those that need the most help are happy to vote in the people who will butt-fuck them the most aggressively.

    I acknowledge that denying the vote is a slippery slope so my proposed refinement could be a weighted system with an IQ/knowledge-based approach whereby everyone gets a vote but for the terminally stupid/gullible/ignorant, their vote would count for 0.1 of that of a normal sentient human.

    And perhaps another level down for Ingo. I propose 0.01 of a vote.

    Ingo should get a little toy voting slip and a crayon, and he can queue up with all the other children to put it into a little toy box.

    Surely Ingo will just have a special Fisher Price voting booth of his own?

    In 2024 we passed the 1.5 degrees above pre industrial levels threshold for average global temperatures, the world is burning and flooding, we're burning more fossil fuels than ever and are using more materials than ever, but everyone's still insisting that their life should and will go on as normal. Humans are consciously wiping themselves out, so the terminally stupid/gullible/ignorant is a considerably wider field than you are probably thinking.

    Indeed, and politicians continue to tell people it’s entirely possible to fight climate change at no inconvenience to themselves. Sunak made this part of his argument to delay banning of petrol and diesel car sales.

    Exactly as Britain gets warmer we won't need to fly to Spain in the summer so emissions will reduce. Sorted.
