'Th' whole worl's in a terrible state o' chassis

It looks as the world is in a state of chassis.

The words of British prime minister Liz Truss one day are turned upside down the next day. The certainty of Thursday is the complete uncertainty of Friday.

On Friday at a press conference in Downing Street Liz Truss said: “I want to tell the truth’. It sounded as if she is simply unable to tell the truth but is actually trying to but simply can’t manage it. 

Then again, this is the woman who was one day strongly in favour of  the UK staying in the EU, the next day strongly in favour of the UK leaving the EU, the young girl who was virulently opposed to the monarchy and then a powerful supporter of it. And then as a young woman was a member of the Lib Democrats before joining the Conservative Party.

The British prime minister looks a pathetic figure.

And then there’s Trump, Putin and the brave women of Iran.

O’Casey seems to have been spot on when he said: "Th' whole worl's in a terrible state o' chassis"
