    Half the electorate are of below average intelligence. A quarter are outright stupid. Tell them that the money spent on Ukraine will go to schools or the health service, and the morons will believe it. They’re easy prey for ‘populists’ who offer ‘easy’ solutions.

    (Populist is a stupid word. What they promise may be popular, what they deliver is inevitably less popular than wiping your peehole with a dog turd)

    It’s tiresome, but it is what it is.
