Sir – Watching Question Time recently it brought home to me something which I couldn’t pinpoint as to why politicians never seemed to come over as people to put my faith in.
Listening to Sir Ian Blair I realised that servicemen join up putting loyalty and protection of our country above all else.
But we are run by people who put themselves and self-promotion first.
Look back over the centuries and the strength of our country has always been compromised by the self-serving of our so-called leaders.
Religion also takes a lot of the blame but that is another road to go down. Why don’t we listen to these people with the experience and not to those who couldn’t fight their way out of a paper bag?
