Whilst living in a democracy has many advantages, there are many things that are still wrong with this country.
For one reason or another, we have fallen into recession and I think it is only fair to say that bankers and the money men must taken their share of the blame.
Then there are the weather forecasters. I am not saying that their job is easy but either it is going to rain or it isn’t. Either it’s going to be windy or there might be a light breeze. But how wrong they have been in recent weeks?
Yet there is no talk of bankers or weathermen or women being sacked because they got it horribly wrong.
Yet nurses remain poorly paid and get lynched when they mess us.
Footballers get a slap on the wrist when they are caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, drink and drive, are caught speeding and the like.
It seems that there is one rule for one and one for the others.
Perhaps two weeks in Israel covering the Maccabiah has made me see the light.
