He's stupid, mad, or dedicated. Or perhaps all.
Either he didn't see the mess coming.
Or he saw it coming, and thought he'd be able to fix it.
Or he saw it coming, and thought the best thing for the country would be
to take the **** rather than have more of the previous government.
Personally I'd go for mad. Specifically megalomania - which is common to
all politicians, as every single one of them has a delusional belief in
their own omnipotence. Add a touch of dedicated too.

I don't think politicians are in the least stupid. If you doubt that,
check up, as far as that is possible for ordinary people, on the
difference between their income and net worth *before* entering
Parliament and the same figures afterwards.

Not at all impressed by He Who Shouts, though.


Wot, you don't believe Prescot was stupid?

It will take a decade to fix it. The worst is yet to come.

Of course it is. This lot have no more idea on how to sort things
than the
last lot. Because the reasons are outside their control.


Nationalise the banks. Then, for example, public borrowing to support
mass construction with training in trades/professions. Degrowth.

Yet another housing led boom -to be followed by yet another housing led
bust

You'd be right if public funds supported private housebuilding - such as
that announced at the budget.

But Rob's Scheme is public building for public ownership. Which will
depress house prices. Probably the main reason, behind
bloody-mindedness, why it won't happen.
