ROME — Italians are furious at a flurry of memes comparing the failing British government to their own instability. When since Liz Truss .’s tax failure started last weeksome pretty bizarre memes that culminated in a repulsive cover about Economist shows Truss as British helmeted Britannian soldier holding a spaghetti-covered fork in place of a sword with the headline “Welcome to Britaly”. Right after the cover story, #Britaly? YouWish started trending.
Some of the memes leading up to the cover story are downright funny, including mentions of Brexit and Italian sporting acumen, great food and great weather, but most of the stereotypes are old. which Italians say is from a different era. “Although pasta and pizza are the most sought after foods in the world, as the second largest producer in Europe, in the next cover we recommend choosing an alternative. change from our aerospace, biotech, automotive or pharmaceutical sectors,” said Inigo Lambertini, Italy’s Ambassador to the United Kingdom on Thursday, adding that the cover was “inspired inspired by the oldest patterns”.
He went on to say, “Whatever the option, it will draw attention more precisely to Italy, while taking into account your undisguised admiration for our economic model.”
In fact, some economists have been supportive of Italy, saying that despite Italy’s reputation, the UK is actually much less stable. Bert Colijn, senior economist at ING, said: “Concerns in financial markets about the UK stem from a very accommodative fiscal stance, despite the already high budget deficit and deficit. trade deficit is behind,” said Bert Colijn, senior economist at ING Financial Times In an article titled, aptly, Brittany? You wish! “This is in stark contrast to Italy, which has been saddled with a legacy of high debt since the 1980s and 90s, while it has actually run a major fiscal surplus for most of the past two decades.”
Of course, to say that Italy’s government is stable is an understatement. But no Italian prime minister has fall as fast as Trussand although Italy has yet to take over as the new leader of Giorgia Meloni after the September 25 election, it can be almost guaranteed that she will outlast Truss.
