When people sit about criticising everything, we never take a moment to appreciate some things. This week a bunch of people trapped in Sudan, got evacuated back under perilous conditions! The men & women of our armed forces who risk their lives (yes, it is their job, but NO, they didn’t send the Sudanese-British fold who went off there, even with the obvious signs that things could kick off there!) to go and get people out! Many criticise the government all the time, but when these noble acts are carried out, we say it is just the basic minimum!
Today, the chairman of the BBC has resigned, because the investigation into the loan he allegedly helped Boris arrange, was not mentioned to the panel that interviewed him for his appointment. Yes, perhaps he should never have been appointed, BUT the reality is that anyone senior enough to get considered for such a position, is highly unlikely to be without any potential conflict of interest. Not coming clean earlier, is perhaps his only transgression. BUT most importantly, he has done the right thing in resigning and whether or not he made that decision or it was made for him, we should appreciate the ability of the society we are in, to bring people to account, no matter how senior they are. That is exactly what makes us different from those scary countries out there
