The recent riots in the UK have attracted worldwide media attention. In many ways, it shows the danger of running a nation on a limited set of metrics and ignoring some of the long financial key performance indicators of the country. Some commentators would argue that some of the trends have been heading south for a while but they have been largely ignored.
The purpose of this blog isn’t to comment on how a Government should run a nation, more to reflect upon the challenge that UK politicians have in claiming any moral high ground. What is worse from a moral / ethical perspective: an opportunistic thief who steals a plasma TV from an open shop or a politician who claims for their own purpose a plasma TV through the UK Government? Hard to distinguish!
In a world looking for shining examples, we need more! Then we need the media to celebrate them .... an even bigger challenge.
