Think you are correct but, of course, had it been a Labour PM, CP would not have started the thread

YAWN, another thread in the guise of a CONservative incompetence thread. Either get a life CP or move to 'Any Country you want' If it's that bad, but like a lot of my old drinking buddies who at this very moment are probably sat in a dingy old boozer in Balham they'll talk & bitch about it but will still be sat in that dingy old boozer this time next week.

You on to book two yet. Janet and John find anything wrong they can, even without proper research !

Whilst not being a fan of Liz Truss, calling her a thicko is a bit disingenuous as she is anything but as she graduated from Merton College Oxford in Philosophy, Politics and Economics and subsequently qualified as a Chartered Management Accountant.

Why not tell us about your educational qualifications

Although Nicholas has beat me to it, I might add that she is known in the cabinet- like lots of them , as not being the brightest! Just because you go to university doesn"t mean you"re bright, just means you can swot perhaps, and to much swotting can lose you your communication skills- liz being an example as she is slightly awkward, even a blu nose like you might admit!As for career progression, she is known to drop her knickers- a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!
Oh, and my knowledge of London pass is considered as the same level as a university degree- I also have a c an g trade, and a forklift driving cert- always a grafter me-don"t have all the eggs in one basket- you never know what a CONservative corrupt gov can do!Uber- see you in court!

I would suggest they are all markers for intelligence and a lack of, or notably low 'rating' in any of the aforementioned would constitute a 'thicko'. As to whether she is or not, I have heard it touted but not to an extent I could absolutely condone such a statement.

From what I have heard, she is very much a parrot - by that I mean a person who is devoid of any original thought. She may well be able to negotiate the social construct that is Gov. through adherence to social conduct and the echoing of things she is said and told in order to attain the position she has however I don't think much weight or respect is put upon her own thinking.

All this very speculative and as previously mentioned I am hardly an expert on the subject matter, just what I hear and that's not from MSM, other posters, John who works in the Post Office etc.
My original point was not really about the label of 'Thicko' being applied to her and more so the questioning of ability to shoot down such a statement based purely on somebodies academic prowess and ability to rise through ranks in Government. By that analysis alone it would be like praising Nigel Farage and Diane Abbott as being 'smarter' than the vast majority of the population. Something evidently not true.

So in summary there may be evidence for her being a thicko, I'm aware of many holding her in such a regard however I don't think too many really know however I equally wouldn't state 'she's studied x or she's done x in govt. therefore...' as this is not, for me, a good way of assessing somebody's intelligence!
