The Deep State is hurling one wicked servant after another from the high horse because all of them are increasingly stupid and dangerous to the Deep State’s survival:
Make no mistake about one thing – Truss’s departure was nothing short of a Deep State coup. As manifestly unqualified, stupid, ill-informed, and incompetent as she clearly was, the fact remains that the reason why first Kwarteng and then Truss were YEETED so quickly, is because the Deep State bureaucracy that rules over Whitehall and Westminster, wanted them both gone.
Why? It’s not like either of them were any real threat to the system, after all. Truss and Kwarteng are both committed globalists who believe fervently in this ridiculous “rules-based international order” that the neoclowns and neolibs keep banging on about. They are not merely friendly to the Deep State – they ARE the Deep State.
In my view, the answer lies in the sheer incompetence of the British political class at the moment, which the Deep State increasingly understands to be a severe threat to its own survival.
Truss and people like her – Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak, Keir Starmer, the whole lot of them – are all cut from the same cloth. Not ONE of them has any good ideas. Not ONE has the first clue how to run an actual economy, because every single one of these people is stupid, uneducated, unqualified, and incompetent – all at the same time.
Such incompetence and fecklessness is tolerable and permissible when times are good, and all you need is some dumb schmuck who can spout good lines and look good on camera – Tony Blair, for example. There is no threat to the Deep State’s survival in such a situation.
However, when inflation is running at 10.1% officially – and in reality is closer to 25% for the average person – and when ordinary people are muttering rebelliously about protesting in the streets, refusing to pay their energy bills, and shutting down businesses… then that is an entirely different story.
At that point, the survival of the Deep State becomes a real problem. And when the Deep State gets desperate, it does things which, to any sane outsider, look genuinely crazy – but which make sense to the Deep Statists at the time.
Just as one can only tell so many lies until one becomes incapable of even recognizing the truth, a society can only reject so many realities before it becomes unable to function.
