Does 'socialism' now mean 'having a government'?

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Yes. That is exactly what they mean. How long before Truss comes up with a British version of Project 2025?

1) Ego. Ego as far as the eye can see. This is the starter, nothing happens without it.
2) Capital. This is the structure, nothing happens unless it wants it.

[mattomac]

Yeah she will tell us clearly it’s not funny like she has some control over that.

[davidjay]

Tories never do humour, unless it's punching down.
