"Politics is not a game"

Because the US electorate has decided to signal the end of the Washington bullshit they clearly despise, all those fearful political job-types, who don't really work for a living, will now need to look for a job, elsewhere.

I remember the first thing #TheresaMayPM said to her new cabinet was "politics is *not* a game."

This alluded to all the people to whom she'd just said goodbye - particularly the disgraced, resigned prime minister #DavidCameron, who had taken the fall for such a miscalculation of the voters' contempt for the private school boys' mutual self appreciation society that had been masquerading for the British #ukgov for quite some time.

#TheresaMayPM also fired the more-maligned #GeorgeOsborne, richboy untouchable, who probably had justifiably considered himself ripe to be the next #conservativeparty #ConservativeLeadership until he was sent packing, to the applause of the masses.

Osborne's fanatical approach to austerity had punished the British working class beyond what they could comfortably take.

Osborne's lack of touch & contempt for the masses can be disguised in the prosperous times, when those who don't have, also have only themselves to blame.

However, when the banks trade in a vaguely restricted fashion for decades (admittedly, partly under the Blair #Labour #ukgov) & flood the economy with toxic debt nobody intends to repay, Osborne passes the consequences, blame AND responsibility for the shortfall back onto working people.

It was a classic miscalculation by a spoiled rich kid, hellbent on carving a reputation & a career in politics for being a no nonsense Chancellor. The people, in return, accustomed to being told what to think & do by the #ukgov got ready to keep sucking it up at the behest of their betters, whilst bitterly complaining among themselves.

That was the case until the #EUref suddenly appeared - representing what many saw as a chance to protest at the ballot box, and maybe even change the country for the better.

So, we did.
