Rarely a day passes at the moment when there isn’t some intelligent
and fair minded person, or some group of intelligent and fair minded people,
calling on the government to change its unintelligent and mean minded policies
in one area or another. These people are usually far more knowledgeable about
the subject at hand than anybody in government, and so they recognise what
damage is being done and what deleterious consequences might well ensue. The
response of the boys and girls in blue amounts to little more than:
‘Stop bothering us; we’re busy running the country.’
They buried Thatcher’s ashes yesterday; her ghost totters on
regardless.
Still, if we Brits think we’ve got it bad, what about the
poor old Yankees. According to our media, America is 48 hours from meltdown.
That’s probably an exaggeration, but the more savvy among our colonial cousins
might cherish the hope that the Republicans have a gun pointed at their own
foot and are about to pull the trigger.
