harvey19 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 No need to apologise. Politics is a business. Look at the number of MPs who sit on boards of some sort as advisors or non-executive directors. Want a tax break? Oh well I'll raise it in Parlaiment for you! If you get a chance read a transcript of todays speech. I think he will be examining many areas which we may not have expected. He realises that the people in high office need to conduct themselves in a way that deserves respect and not ridicule or contempt. He is pushing through a Bill of Rights Act to replace the Human Rights Act and examining the Health and Safety legislation to stop these acts being used wrongly and being ridiculed. As we both know words come easy but I think we will see changes this time round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mj.scuba Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I think Cameron is wrong about a general moral collapse in society, the low life element of society has simply become more prevelant, prominant, irritable and intolerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cameron can do something the reverse the decline in personal and public standards he will deserve his place in history. Somehow, I don't thing he is the person to do it - there are so many vested interests in the business world that he'll have to upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sausage Dog Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 I don't. -- But you've said they are more prevalent. Although, the evidence of my own eyes suggests you are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropout Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Should it even be more like....there is a "Moral Vacuum"? People are clearly "sick"....and also "sick of it" too. Pity that most people buy the CDs, records, etc, but DON'T really listen to the likes of Bono, "NO MORE"...we're sick of it, etc. Seems to me - on this thread, that Rushton is on the right lines, ie, Just over 18 months ago, newspapers/tv/radio/media we're having to report on UK MPs expenses scandals...because they had been FOUND OUT, with their grubby hands in the till. Then the same country was blindfold and misled into believing that less than half the adult populace in the country had actually, "voted back in a, ahem, "democratic government"! Same shute,different asehole...or words to that effect. Don't be taken in by lies. Think for yourselves. Take "responsibility" - for goodness sake...for your own lives. Government/schmovernment.

harvey19 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 It will be interesting to see what the future holds considering how the reporting of events may change with the News International scenario. My fear is that all this will fade into insignificance and our problems will come from our involvement in Libya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
