Quote from “useful idiot” arricle:

I misread that as malignant cunt, would probably still be true too.
Any employee in a private company who has had the misfortune to work with civil servants knows they are the most useless fuckers alive. A massively inordinate amount of money is spent on keeping them in jobs that aren’t needed and their work ethic is non existent.
Cutting and gutting the civil service is one of the few realistic ways we could save lots of money and redirect it to the NHS.
But it’s Britain, so no one’s going to do shit. Take /r/UnitedKingdom for example, most of whom (jobless and with no experience) will ride in on their trusty white steeds to defend them while simultaneously failing to understand that the entire civil service needs to be restructured and overhauled entirely. And that the waste of money they are is directly responsible for much of the failing infrastructure in the country /r/UnitedKingdom spends all day every day complaining about.
Edit: Thank you again for demonstrating that the English are the epitome of turkeys voting for Christmas. We all already knew that, though.
Edit2: lol. Dumbest subreddit imaginable. Filled with total and utter fucking morons. Lmao.
Just ONE letter out.
Her cult seems to only consist of her Cabinet though. More MPs voted for Sunak over her, indicating that they had no trust in her to begin with. Those MPs are having to live with the decision of party members and many are hating it. Even her support is mostly fake, it is people looking to move into senior jobs or people hoping that they can influence her into making more poor decisions.
Headline writer is a sopranos fan I think
I misread the last word and was *very* concerned.
I TRUSS that said civil slaves will LEAK all the MEMOS that are sure to TRICKLE DOWN onto their desks
Read that as Truss’s malignant cunt, which I thought was funny at first but then realised that both statements are true
The growth cult
Classic Sir Humphrey twaddle in this article. Firstly get over the fact a new PM wanted to get rid of Simon Case – he’s not entitled to a job for life. Secondly, it’s entirely normal for a Chancellor not to tell cabinet about everything that’s in their budget, and they most certainly wouldn’t tell parliament before they…er, tell parliament. Thirdly, I’m glad that chancellors aren’t always beholden to what the treasury thinks the market is going to do. Usual Guardian drivel.
