Comments by "Curious Crow" (@CuriousCrow-mp4cx) on "ministers quit parliament" video.
Your graciousness and generosity is very apparent in this reaction video to those whose political careers are to become a marginal note in history. We should not forget them. Their legacy should be taught as a warning to our future generations.

Lol. You haven't been around very long. If Redwood was any sort of Economist, he would have understood that no country can defy economic gravity, and wouldn't have backed Brexit. He would have done the opposite. Economics as a discipline is wedded to the Scientific Method. Redwood and Minford were wedded to their ideologies and wallets instead, and put aside concrete evidence and facts. I remember his exclamation being caught by the excellent microphones in parliament of how he would have to get his money out of the country. Funny that the press or the Beeb didn't jump on that sebtiment. If only what Jacques Delors said about him and the other Brexiteers were true. All Redwood proves is that Voltaire was right when he said: "People will cease to commit atrocities only when they cease to believe absurdities." And boy, nearly 5 decades of believing the absurdities of the Redwoods in our midst has worked out well, hasn't it?

Japanese Knotweed cannot be eradicated in in a day. Likewise, to remove all the traces of this overgrown and greedy bully of a political culture means locating and removing it's ability to take root again. The current government is only the visible part of the ecosytem, and removing that will do little to prevent it taking root again. We cannot be complacent and imagine that just Starmer gets a majority in Parliament is Mission Accomplished. Not by a long chalk. As Voltaire said, "People will cease to commit atrocities only when they cease to believe absurdities." And as a nation, we've bought into some absurd notions that made us complicit in our own suffering. And atrocities is not too strong a word for many of the things done to ourselves and others by our misplaced priorities. We need to forget about blame, and encourage accountability. We've played with tearing down stuff to get our way, and have just ended up with more problems than we started with. Time to have patient, diligent and accountable government again. And we have to do our part. Westminster isn't only responsible. We have to start taking ourselves seriously, before anyone else will. And we have to accept that we have to change before things will get better. We have to be the change we want to see in the world before it can happen.
