What is the main problem facing our world today? Swine flu? The credit crunch? MP's expenses? Climate change? Peak oil? Guess again. The main problem seems to be collective amnesia and how quickly we forget.
Indeed it must be years ago now that one prominent paper enlightened us all with tales of outrageous expenses claims by our MP's and decades since the Government had to bail out the banks with billions in tax payers money. Did I really read the headline;
"Total outstanding government debt in the UK has risen to a record £799bn, or 56.6% of UK GDP - the highest since records began in 1974."
Ah well, maybe we have had a little rant, demonstrated a bit, written to the 'nationals' to vent our frustration.
Those who are in power (and if anyone finds out who really wields the power please let me know) never have to wait long for the dust to settle before they get back to business.
