Liz Truss made bold statements calling for a transformative movement akin to that of former US President Trump during her address at a major conservative conference in Texas. Criticizing what she termed as entrenched elements within the American media and government, Truss also asserted her belief that Britain had fallen under the influence of Islamists and a supposed “Global Elite.”
At the CPAC event in Grapevine, Texas, Truss, a former British Prime Minister with a brief tenure, characterized non-conservative media outlets in the US and UK as adversaries, expressing her desire to diminish their influence. Addressing the audience, she emphasized the need for a united effort in combating perceived threats to Western values, urging support to tackle similar challenges in Europe.
Participating in a panel discussion titled “Europestan: Can Europe Survive,” Truss criticized what she labeled as disdain for Western civilization among elites in the UK, accusing them of harboring intentions to dismantle it. Venturing into contentious conspiracy theories, she claimed that a “globalist movement” had infiltrated various sectors including academia, media, and corporate entities.
Highlighting a lack of opposition from the political right, including her own party, Truss pointed out failures to confront issues such as energy costs, constitutional changes, and the rise of Islamism in the UK. Describing the need for a “Trump-style revolution” in Britain, she asserted that a vast majority of the population did not align with what she deemed as radical ideologies, emphasizing traditional values and national identity.
Truss defended an individual imprisoned for inciting racial hatred, citing it as an example of restrictions on free speech. She disputed the notion of cultural equality and admitted her realization of the extent of what she referred to as a “globalist” takeover only upon assuming the role of Prime Minister.
Expressing a call for comprehensive reform, including challenging mainstream media and countering perceived adversarial forces, Truss cautioned against further deterioration of the societal landscape in Britain. She cautioned the American audience about similar trends in the US, citing examples from New York and California, portraying the situation as a battle for the preservation of Western civilization.
