First and foremost and as much as I hate to say this, people have a right to be stupid and make stupid mistakes. It is just a fact of life that no matter how much I hate it, it is still going to happen. And UK people collectively making a stupid decision to leave the EU was one such example. Under the pressure for that, what is Cameron supposed to do? He was trying everything he can do to persuade the Brexit-ers to not go through with Brexit, and in the end he failed. |
I only think BoJo is corrupt AND incompetent - the man basically ran on a platform of being ignorant. I think May was put in a terrible position and made lemonade best she could. With Cameron, I think he was stupid and he chose the one option that means he's going to live in infamy 50 years from now (by which time the UK will have rejoined the EU out of desperation) - it never should have gone to a vote and he made it possible.
In the case of Truss, either she knew the markets would respond the way it did and this was her way of clearing the decks or she was too stupid/arrogant and thought tax cuts would excite the market and get the UK going in the right direction. The former is a brave move, the latter is just plain dumb.
