I can’t.
Reading Australian newspapers and virtual publications at my local Starbucks in London, I can be quietly in the Sydney sun.
It’s almost exactly the same stories, the same complaints.
Albo, immigration, the disappearance of ATMs, parts of frames found in rivers, crazy people on planes, anti-Semitism, educational madness, and everything in between.
Possibly there would no longer be an Empire, but Britain can still spread its culture in Australia, but also in the United States, where the headlines are more or less the same.
Or is it simply one of those global phenomena, as if all monkeys wash their food in the same way on other islands on the planet?
All stories begin with the poor quality of our leadership everywhere.
But it’s still smart to take the example of the Motherland, where things seem to me even more disastrous than in Australia or the United States, that’s for sure.
You see, our challenge here in the UK is that we have almost no one who needs or trusts us to guide us.
I felt the zeitgeist when I posted the following in X yesterday, in reaction to a billionaire Conservative MP who said that the Prime Minister had destroyed the Conservative Party and received a staggering 26,000 views in less than a day, with only a few dissenting reactions:
“It’s not just [Sunak]. It’s a group of stylish, selfish, greedy guys, accompanied by a group of selfish and greedy climbers who have been allowed to run like crazy for over a decade, with no respect for those who put them in power, their country, or anything but themselves.
On the other hand, we have an organization of rabid, anti-Semitic, left-wing, woke and anti-capitalist idiots.
As one follower wrote to me, we now have the choice between walking on dog dust or cat dust.
It’s not just him. It’s a group of selfish and greedy guys, accompanied by a group of selfish and greedy climbers who have been allowed to run amok for over a decade, with no respect for those who put them in power, for their country or for their country.
The only good news here is that most people are relieved that the Prime Minister has called a snap general election in just six weeks and that we may not have to pay attention to Rishi Sunak and his associates pestering and chattering for a long time. time, we thought.
Sir Keir Starmer and his organization of left-wing activists advocating for a transgender timeline will be even worse; To be sure, many people, even many hardline conservative voters, say they will welcome change, any change, after 14 long years. incompetence.
The Brexit Party, now called Reshape, may have caused, and may continue to cause, very serious damage to the Conservatives and Labour, as they prepare to shape the government after the next.
However, the dangers and scope of this damage have been significantly reduced since Nigel Farage said he would make an intense crusade but would not run for office and lead reformers in the election, who prefer to approve Donald Trump in the United States.
So where do we go from here?
Well, I don’t know, but I don’t forget anything that many entrepreneurs told me when I left Paris to come here to London a few decades ago.
I was told that you lose money with Conservative governments and you make money with Labour governments.
I interviewed some of the biggest business tycoons and captains of industry, notoriously for the top component of Conservative voters, in the country, and when I told them I didn’t understand and asked them how that could be, they said, “Because the Labour Party is even crazier and crazier than the Conservatives. ”
“We’ll see,” “time will tell,” “watch this space” are all words that come to mind.
