Cos.. and just being honest here.. there’s not many subjects Liz Truss gives one the impression she holds much expertise over. Well they’re not the intended audience. Her words are meant instead for the Brexiters: tough on Europe, tough on the causes of Europe. Imagine Liz bloody Truss thinking she can ‘fix’ all of the (obvious before the vote) issues with Northern Ireland lol The only people she’s trying to impress are the Brexit loons who want their forever war with our European friends. You need to calm the situation down not make threats. Can we get rid of her? She doesn’t belong in government. Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
