I’ve always maintained as a little ...S’funny this. I’ve always maintained as a little private theory (maybe others have had it too - I'm not sure) that in any organisation of any kind, large or small – including a whole country – the basic “tone” is always, without fail, set by the one, single person who is nominally “in charge.” In any company, if the MD or the Chief Exec is a slow, ponderous, thoughtful person, that’ll tend to be the “tone” of the whole company; if he’s jovial and benevolent, that’ll be the atmosphere in his organisation. It makes sense, I guess, because people tend to appoint others who are similar to themselves who, in turn appoint others who are similar to them, and so on, so although the larger the organisation gets the more exceptions to the rule may slip in through the net further down the ladder, they rarely “fit in” or feel comfortable in that environment, surrounded as they are with a majority of very different types of people, and their “different” opinions or approaches rarely carry much weight or have much of an effect. The theory applies just as much to a country as it does to a company, or a charity, or a school, or a club, or a pub. Look at the reign of Queen Victoria, for example, when the monarch, unlike now, really was the “big cheese” who ran things - after the death of Prince Albert she pretty much threw the whole flaming country into a prolonged, drab period of austere, po-faced mourning for the rest of her reign.<br /><br />And now what do we have at the top of our tree? An overbearing, puffed-up bully who isn’t averse to throwing his not inconsiderable weight (both physically and metaphorically) around at junior members of staff who don’t have the clout to stand up to him; a money-obsessed Scrooge with about as much compassion as a pack of hungry hyenas (I’m afraid those staged crocodile tears just didn’t do it for me, Gordy); and a puritanical zealot who will not, out of sheer stubbornness, ever admit that he was, or ever is, wrong, in any circumstances, ever – even now, when he is very possibly staring one of the most humiliating election defeats in the history of the UK straight in the face. Now take a look at the rest of the Cabinet, the rest of the Government, the opposition, local Councils, the police, the NHS, ASH and the other anti-smokers, Alcohol Concern, the global warmists. Look familiar?
