  1. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    When we believe ourselves in possession of the only truth, we are likely to be indifferent to common everyday truths. Self-deception, credulity, and charlatanism are somehow linked together.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 83 (1955)

This man is a vociferous supporter of private education, supports tax breaks 4 super rich (nondom), creates Covid fast lanes 4 cronies 2 make £millions, (Lady Mone) etc. He embodies a selfish class system. This man is a #charlatan. #SunakIsALiar #RejoinEU
