When a dog shakes itself dry it starts at the head and works its way down ... ... the flap started with Johnson and has continued with Truss. Now its going through the banks, mortgage providers, stock and currency markets. I'd say people are entitled to be a bit shaken when the country's falling apart.
It's that kind of hyperbole that causes the flapping. Most people's lives will trundle on as normal. If others were daft enough to max out credit, go balls deep on mortgages etc with zero wiggle room, then I feel for their suffering, but the fact is they exposed themselves to way more risk than they had to. The malaise is wider, deeper, is less connected to government and has been going on for far longer than Johnson - the financial crash doesn't seem to have been learned from at all by a lot of people on the street. There's no entitlement to a dream lifestyle as soon as you're an adult.
The stock markets have always gone up and down, if the B of E Governor sneezed the market would panic. They said they never had enough notice as to what was in the budget to make necessary adjustments. What they really mean was they didn't have a chance to move money so they could benefit with the gains they would have made by doing so and that is how they make money for investors. One big merry go round and the rich wil be the beneficiary's. I have no problem with people being rich or having more money than me, but l do expect them to pay their share of the burden when it come to taxation.
Hyperbole? hyperbole /hʌɪˈpəːbəli/ noun exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. These are facts, not hyperbole and people are bound to take it seriously when Building Societies are withdrawning mortgage offers.
In my opinion it is. 'My country' may be different to 'your country' or other people's country. From my point of view we have another interim government with little leadership or confidence, they're borrowing money to give away. Bills are going through the roof, the NHS is in crisis, 40,000 nurses left in a year, mortgage providers are refusing to provide mortgages, Channel boat people are swarming in, the railways are striking, lawyers are striking and you have to plan toothache a year in advance. That's just part of it without mentioning levelling up, grocery shortages, fruit & veg rotting in the fields and loads more. After twelve years you'd hope for some kind of progress, there's none.
Also, KK is incompetent... Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng failed to adequately prepare the financial markets ahead of his announcement. As I said, I'm sure we've seen this type of lazy government from The Liar... either hiding something or blagging their way through the mess they have created.
They don't even bother to make up credible lies ... ... it's all on a level with 'the dog ate my homework Miss'.
