So, are we all enemies of the state now?

Oh dear. I'm on Twitter, so I'm an "Enemy of the State" now...they've got a lot of people to arrest if that's the case HAHA.

Idiotic.

I've been an enemy of the "state" since I was 12 ,just surprised they haven't caught up with me yet .

Independence is NORMAL ....honest it is .lol

It's puzzling, isn't it? Just about everybody falls into an "enemy of the state" category. If that's the case and the government still maintains we live in a democracy, the government can no longer be representative of the people.

Its a bit George Orwell isn't it.

Reminds me of "The Thought Police".

Crazy times!

I bet the government is regretting cutting police and army numbers. They're going to need both to keep all the state enemies under control.

I hope I was hallucinating, but I think I heard a Conservative MP on the radio say When the going gets tough, the Truss gets going.

?

Wish she would!

Extremely well said.

Since our resources on Earth are limited by this world, we need cycling of resources. Growth cannot go on and on!

Ummmm! Maybe her recent interview failures should act as a warning to her that she is a poor communicator and quick to blame everyone but those who should be taking the blame! As my gran always said ‘engage brain before opening mouth!’

People on Twitter????

There's even a T-Shirt for us. Someone saw a fine opportunity to grow their business?

The only problem is that we'll be wearing thick jerseys, cardies and fleeces so you won't see the slogan! Otherwise I'd wear one proudly.

I was thinking about wearing one over a jumper, nahsma Just need a large size

Me too. Though Rory Stewart said he thought that was aimed at Alastair Campbell who has “really got inside her head”.

I’ve ordered one in medium so it will be interesting to see what it’s like size wise. I usually wear a short sleeved to shirt over a long sleeved one or a polo necked thin top. Trouble is I don’t go anywhere these days where people will see it. #needtogetoutmore

She was only talking to the right wing postloonies in the hall, not the rest of us. Mrs T had the Falklands to distract the Sun readers. Truss hasn't yet got anything like that but she may be capable of inventing it. Post-conference I think her polling went down to -44.

Not 'postloonies', simply 'loonies'!

And people wonder why Scotland wants away? She's been in office for a month and hasn't even bothered to contact the head of state in Scotland who she considers is worth ignoring and who is an attention seeker? Who is this woman that she can't even do the simple things that a PM should be doing.Previous Tory PM have been in touch with other heads of states the day after they were elected. She's just down right ignorant and dangerous...on all fronts.

How do I join the anti growth coalition?

@Susie3042 "But I'm obviously in a minority." Yes, Susie. Yes, you are.

But Susie's post was deleted, so now the rest of us don't know why she's in a minority?

Of course her enemies will include at least half of the Tory MPS who see themselves as guardians of the countryside, planning law etc.

I’m in Truss’s anti-growth coalition even though I’m not anti-growth, I’m just anti Truss’s version of growth which is designed to benefit the already fabulously wealthy at everyone else’s expense.

My kind of growth doesn’t trash the sea, rivers, countryside, animal welfare and biodiversity.

My kind of growth has room for the care of the poor and sick. Those seeking sanctuary and freedom from oppression.

My kind of growth recognises the Christian virtues of empathy for desperate people without dreaming of sending them to a violent poor African country which will be as foreign to those desperate people as it is to me.

No I am not in with Truss’s crowd, thank goodness. I have not yet lost my humanity

Well put!

Being an enemy of the Tory party is not being an enemy of the State !
