I consider myself to be of no real political persuasion, but since retirement I have watched hundreds of hours if not more of political infighting over all sorts of issues and to some degree world wide, well at least as far as it is reported on TV and YouTube.
I am disappointed but not surprised at the far right and nationalist leaning tendencies taking hold in many places, thus the disruptors seem to be taking over. Personality politics has gone too far when the Ukrainians vote into power some actor who played their PM on a TV prog, we end up with Trumpet TV in the White House and BoJo, a newspaper columnist at best, as UK PM... with Cummings seemingly working him from behind the curtain.
I do wonder if Cummings does resign if the usual Boris bluster and stumbling will get even worse, when faced with the well practised cross examination skills of Starmer. I suspect no matter the outcome BoJo will have Cummings on speed dial to relay the necessary punch lines, like Get Brexit Done etc. etc. etc. ... For in reality it seems no matter the activity of the so called great and good, there those who will excuse it completely or at best slap them on the wrist and later they are allowed back "in" once the fuss dies down.
Seems politics can be about as corrupt as banking seems to have become, as the result of poor political planning of both sides of the isle, both here and in the US..
Have we really degenerated as a society to a situation where open and dishonest behaviour is now entirely acceptable...?
I had foolishly thought that after a situation where every one of us were informed of Clintons few moments of light relief many years ago, that people in positions of power would realise that their actions could so easily be open to scrutiny like never ever before... DUH..!
Past being shocked, but not quite yet past caring... Best give up before the stents do....sigh!
