The Extreme Folly of The British Political Class
And the price that we are all paying for this madness.
Standards have taken a massive beating in public life.
Schools aren’t what they used to be, hospitals are on their knees and our politicians these days are a special kind of stupid.
Really, British politicians?
Yes indeed.
Our politicians are world beaters when it comes to stupidity.
And what’s interesting here is that this is by no means unique to the Conservatives; the Labour Party under the leadership of Keir Starmer has been firing on all cylinders.
And before you disagree by pointing out that America has more than its fair share of dumb politicians, it has to be said that the Democrats are in charge and are doing their bit in reining in the Republicans by setting the agenda.
But us folks across the Atlantic do not have that luxury.
The governing party of the United Kingdom is filled to the rafters with idiots.
And leading the charge is the Prime Minister — Rishi Sunak.
Over the course of the last few days, we have had Sunak renegotiating the Northern Ireland protocol agreement with the President of the European Commission — Ursula Von der leyen.
