Truss in trouble and Douglas Murray on policing - The Week in 60 Minutes | SpectatorTV

God Bless Douglas Murray

[@shaunpaulwallace]

Seconded 👍🏻

[@frederickmiles327]

God bless, surely not. A believer. OMG. Surely all this PC and color schemes and unbelievable gestures is just cover for incompetence, and lack of talent due to outdated recruitment of the largely uneducated, unintelligent, Anglo Irish and the strange British view that criminals are best fought with another group of criminals in uniform. Sadly the real answer as in the military is the adoption of the continental hierarchial model of high IQ quality leaders and officers, in the police and military. Proper planning and a general assumption that orders by intelligent officers are followed by the lower ranks. The real problem across the board is that people are intelligent or not, that crime, violence and vandalism is very largely directly related to intelligence and untalented ordinary people are not intelligent. Owning a corner shop or dairy is not a middle class occupation or really of much value in many cases. A military officer, meàns, a top quarter IQ, height, and the right command accent. Certain groups of women, say private school 18 year Wahines or 18year old working class Sydney girls might well make effective infantry units but generally speaking women are unsuitable and should not be open line military officers, as they are inherently different genetically and lack the strength and intent for physical combat even at one remove

Douglas Murray has nailed it entirely. The police need to return to being Apolitical and investigating and solving ‘real’ crime.

[@saimbhat6243]

It was more of a polemic against visibility of LGBTQ+ sub-culture and less of an attack on incompetence of police. He is himself a homosexual and so he clearly cannot be a homophobic. He is all mad at left because after bringing joyous liberal democracy to egypt, syria(twice), afghanistan(twice), iraq, libya, instead of focusing on bringing much deserved joy of liberal democracy to the people of iran, the lunacy of left has all distracted the west. He has been smelling more middle eastern bodies since syria but stupid left won't let him taste it again.

[@frederickmiles327]

The real need is to reject the idea that Britain can become New Britain by rejecting and destroying history, facts and the truth. Britain is a medium North European nation and no longer has anything like the Industrial base, top class scientific community and educational system of Japan or Germany or even France. No progress can be made without reaching a real settlement and cooperation basis with France and Germany rather than the expansionist and discredited EEC or UN. The development of a new transport system, modern railways instead of the current barely tarted up relic from the steam age and it's associated dinasour age unionists or real defence and immigration and border control policy without a real agreement with France and Germany.

We can't. All policing decisions are made by politicians - in uniform or out - who are constantly chasing votes.

He called me ‘racist’ when I bought up illegal immigration, because they have no decent response (except the lefts answer to everything, racism) or a plan to save our country. However.

Definitely threats.

[@quentinnewark2745]

“A threat is any words, written messages or actions that threaten bodily harm, death, damage to real or personal property, or any injury or death to any animal belonging to that person. A threat can include those that are conditional on the person doing something or failing to do something. For example, saying, “if you do not get me my money, I will hurt you.”” If you waive your pen, we’ll knock you on your arse. (Waiving your pen is a metaphor for being a writer, for writing, we’ll knock you on your arse for being what you are.) I will imprison you, just for being you.

If they get rid of Truss, we’ll look even more of a joke across the world than we already do. She’s not ideal. She’s a Poundland Maggie. However, what did the conservatives think would happen? I used to work as a mortgage advisor, and left my job last year. I said then, and I’m still saying that people sold their houses for ridiculous amounts, even illegal gazumping went on. Mortgage lenders had all these amazing deals where people could borrow more due to the calculators being higher. These new home owners will be faced with negative equity. Or face losing their homes due to interest rates. So, the population rising to 68 million due to illegal immigrants, who are taking hotels, houses, benefits etc. when this countries homeowners, renters, can’t afford their mortgages or rents, where are they going to live? Who is going to help them? This government needs to wake up to the state of this country.

Tax cuts to produce what? We endured years of Tory 'Austerity' because we had been indebted to the tune of £850 billion by Labour. Now we are now at £2+ trillion debt after Covid, but we apparently can spend spend spend. Am I the only one who doesn't get it?

[@markbullen2347]

I seem to recall that writers for the Speccie, including Ms Andrews, were aghast that the Tories under Johnson had increased taxes (NI contribution and corporation tax) breaking manifesto promises and called for their withdrawal. The only tax reduction that goes beyond that is the abolition of the highest rate of income tax. The effect of which is small change (2 billion). My gut feeling is that the current media hysteria is driven by the fact that Truss won and Sunak didn’t. Also borrowing money for nothing with inflation at 10% is ludicrous. The Bank of England has been caught with its proverbial trousers round its ankles.

Yep - and from the top, from the HoC itself... The MP's were the ones who put up the candidates that neither voters nor the electorate wanted - and did so en-masse. It didn't matter how clearly next to nobody wanted Rishi and how few more wanted Liz, they rocked the boat the least so that's the awful choice the membership was given. It also didn't seem to matter to the membership (shades of Corbyn and the Labour membership, perhaps?) that Liz was even more of an election liability than Rishi... And so the common or garden conservative voter is once again left with a decision between bad and worse at the next GE, well done, all.

None of the analysts were willing to say that the Truss/Kwarteng mini-budget has been the biggest disaster for the UK since Black Wednesday 1992. These measures will not pass the House of Commons.

The Energy Crisis has NOT been solved! The Pensions Industry is in grave danger. Nobody in the UK seriously believes anything that these people (LT & KK) say.
