They aren't thick, they are extremely cunning.
They've stolen billions from the public purse, took us out of the EU to protect tax avoidance and to remove many of the rights we enjoyed under membership.
Now they are busy changing the law to make it impossible to protest against them or possibly to vote them out.
Even Cameron got rich by accessing COVID money to prop up Greensill while it defrauded its investors.
They are scum but they are not thick. Definitely arrogant though. They continue to do as they like and push the boundaries of decency, all the while safe in the knowledge that as things stand, their privilege and position insulates them from any real accountability.
Yeah, they are corrupt and selfish, they have no decency, it is actually quiet hard to find the right arguments to defend the indefensible. they know their critics don't believe the bullshit but they are not trying to bullshit their critics, the aim is to bullshit their gullible supporters.
They have one big flaw though, they are arrogant, they have taken a lot of pleasure from conning the public as they think they are very clever people, this arrogance has given them a false sense of security. they thought they were untouchable, they never worried about how things looked, they believed a few words from Boris would be enough to satisfy their supporters.
I first noticed this self satisfied arrogance during the Brexit will of the people debates in Parliament, am convinced the whole of the ERG came out of the bar one night straight into one debate, JRM giving one of his disgusting will of the people speeches, all the ERG slouching in their seats comfortably looking at each other smiling and smirking, they thought he was amazing, how it was incredible to see him wining over the man in the street knowing the sort of man he is, this arrogance had led to corruption which led to incompetence.
