This is very good. I do offer a warning though for those who are not comfortable with strong language:

Ironic that the only thing wrong with this splendid rant is that the speed of delivery is too fast. Beats no delivery at all, hands down.
I am very grateful for the cc button, as it provides me with subtitles. I get most of my dialogue that way nowadays. As you say, great rant, and every word well chosen.
I have to say that the warning is most apt!
But it’s still very good.
Such a pity that something as apt and refreshing as this will not make MSM.
This just demonstrates how electing a fool as the head of government how quickly society can degenerate into this mess that we now find ourselves. Two years of complete incompetence?
You really think that all this started only two years ago ? The Anglo Brits have been deluding themselves since 1945.
Why 1945? Seems to me that the 30 year period from then on was a fairly positive one. Rising from the ruins, and a war based economy, we built a lot of new housing at a fast speed, developed welfare system almost completely lacking prewar, encouraged cultural developments. All this in a country whose GDP was far smaller than it is today. But then Chicago school of economics took over and ‘profit’ became the overiding goal, far more than it had been before.
The only question left to ask is: why was 12 years of this pantomime party/pantomime country allowed to keep running?
Answer – the mass media – groomed dolts in England voted to allow it to continue. They also voted for death (a world first?).
With circa 200k dead due to Covid and 125k dead due to an totally unecessary austerity = 325k perhaps the tories need to rename themselves “The Death party”, maybe they could turn themselves into a pop-group: “The Undertakers” – a UK growth industry?
Liebore could of course get the rights to the piece and run it as a party political broadcast – on behalf of the tories -sadly I don’t think Starmer gets irony & frankly after 12 years I don’t think large parts of the English population do either.
It has some to such a pretty pass that it takes the Antipodes to tell Ingerland the way it is.
Shakes head in amazement.
Sitting here drinking Beaujolais at 1 in the morning Mike having come back from the Proms this evening and listening to Mahler on R3, I can enjoy the things that are still good about the UK…. namely the BBC.
As a respite from the awfulness of our rotten politics
But let’s face it, the Tory scum are now out to destroy the Beeb as well as the NHS and Civil Service.
In favour of the wonderful private sector like Thames Water, Bulb etc.
Many a true word.
The comment about the Government being a bigger threat to The Country than terrorists would be funny if it wasn’t so close to the truth
Ken McCluskey used the phrase, “Tory Scum”. At the time I did not feel it helped the debate.
Johnson, like the Bullingdon Club boy he is, has created a total mess and wings off to let others clean up.
Truss lives in fantasy land where she is queen of all she surveys and thinks she will turn things around by dictat.
Kwasi Kwarteng, who I am sure is a clever man (unlike some others), has just told us that we are on our own over the next few months.
We don’t have a government, we have a gang of wreckers.
I now realise Ken was right, and scum floats to the top.
It appears that Truss is even more incompetent than many feared
Truss approved £149m of controlled equipment to Russia in just six months in 2021, months before the invasion of Ukraine
The year before the invasion, Truss’s department approved the export of controlled ‘viruses’ for use by Russian researchers
Russia was granted 7th-highest number of UK export licences in world in 2020, Truss’s first full year running the trade department
UK government only banned exports of all controlled equipment to Russia after the invasion of Ukraine

I am not wholly sure that this is that useful a comment
Maybe not but I cannot resist making these points at every opportunity in feeble effort to try and combat the way the tory party is milking the country’s assets and nobody seems capable of stopping them
I have been using the NHS from the time the Labour Goverment started it. The Tories dare not get rid of it because it is so popular so what are they doing. Bit by bit they are selling it so big chunks of it are run by private companies. You still get the excellent NHS treatment but we now pay the private suppliers plus their directors and shareholders. The same is being done with the education budget but here as the results are not so easy to measure it is easier to see what we are being overcharged for
