You can, as world leaders go, Putin is one of the least protected, especially when he leaves Russia, as he will be in October.greenmark wrote: ↑Fri Aug 26, 2022 10:16 pmYou can't "get rid of Putin".

Truss is not about so called handouts, nor was Thatcher, afterall she nicked free milk off the young ones, which didn't cost the state/tax payers much anyway. They both believe/believed in a citizen making their own way in life with very little state help or intervention. Work hard, work harder to earn more, climb the ladder to your own home. If your unemployed, part-time worker, homeless or have mental health issues then its kind of down to you to resolve. Stop moaning about the cards life has dealt you and get on with it. Thatcher would have told Macron to fcuk off ages ago if she was around, like Truss wanted to do, you could tell when she was asked the question. Don't forget, Thatcher basically told the US president, Ronald Reagan to fcuk off when he asked her not to go to war with Argentina over the falklands.
Both Truss and Thatcher have very similar mindsets, Truss will try and crush public sector workers who go on striking, much as did Thatcher with the miners and others.
Thatcher, Truss, Sir Winston and Boris (Sorry Derek) are the type of PM you need or thrive in time of War but not for running a country on a day to day basis. Actually very few PM or Presidents are good at doing both, history shows that.
So, to cut a long story short, will Truss be good for the country, NO, unless we suddenly find ourselves at War. Some believe that's why Thatcher actually went to War with Argentina because she knew her grip was starting to slip running the country even after just 3 years. Thats a long time in politics.
Sunak is probably the best out of the 2 for knowing what to do on energy and actually helping the real people in need like he did with furlough even though some fell through the cracks. If he had of incorperated everyone which Labour, Liberals and SNP wanted him too then there would have been even more furlough fraud. Personally, i think he did the best he could at the time and it was one of the best support packages offered anywhere in the world barring Switzerland and Singapore.
The next 2 years are going to be crippling for millions. The Tory membership are pretty much immune from financial disaster, so will go with what they think is 'Mrs T' part 2.
But to me, sorry Greenmark and others, no point in sticking plasters, you need to do deal with the real problem or elephant in the room. Meaning, get rid of Putin and his select few asap otherwise the same energy crisis will happen across Europe in 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027 etc. And that would mean an awfull lot of borrowing, probably £1 trillion or so. That can't be allowed to go on.
With all these billions the UK, Europe and the World are having to pay, far easier to divert all that money into military ways of taking Putin out quickly. Cut the head off the snake and it will fall. So will the Russian army, whats left of it.
I am a tory voter and have been since I was 18 but I think Truss is going to cause an absolute disaster.
You can’t have someone holding the world to ransom and doing whatever he wants. We went down that route in 1939. Hitler could have been stopped well before then. But as history should we, Europe, USA was week until it was nearly to late.
Our country is going to end up bankrupt if this is allowed to continue.
Call it murder or whatever you wish too but he needs to go asap.
Going to cost hundreds of billions. 
One day one of your doomsday predictions will come true. I hope the internet is still functional ahead of Armegeddon at the time to say you were right all along.
