    Yeah living conditions on Earth would be so vile that we’d go to Mars and leave her behind.

      That was Theresa May, two PMs before Liz… all in the space of a few years… Liz was the one who killed the queen, destroyed the economy in one day then buggered off having lasted in the role for less time than a lettuce

    The PMs after David Cameron are only in it for the power to feed their own ego and not about governing, especially the Tory PMs. Kier Starmer was not a great Labour PM but he’s less egotistical than his Tory counterparts. Andy Burnham appears to be more down to earth but only time will tell.

    I understand why the rest of the world would want the brits on Mars, but why is Truss advocating for this herself?

      IMHO most countries could still accomplish this. There’s just no political will for it. Mars is worthless to most people before terraforming, and now we need to terraform Earth first. How can we expect to fix Mars if we can’t stop ruining Earth?

        There’s that, but also, looking at the sort of people pushing hardest for establishing Martian colonies, they are all the sort of folks who would tell you how you can be advancing humanity on another planet, then deduct the cost of your oxygen consumption from your paycheck, if not just cutting off the air supply if you happen to get a little uppity about “muh human rights” when they want you to work 16 hours a day for some dumb idea they had.

          If you read the book that’s actually the reason why they put them in medical comas. They feared they’d get cabin fever and kill each other on the trip.

            Fuckin A. That makes sense.

            I initially planned on reading it but I had already started The Captives War and I wasn’t about to stop.

    Well she shouldn’t have killed the queen, and then no one would have ousted her.
