Trust
Submitted by Rob Trickey on Tue, 04/10/2011 - 12:44There's no doubt about it: trust is a precious commodity.
When the Labour party came to power in 1997, they pledged a new era in British politics, free from the sleaze which characterised the Major years. But of course, before long Labour were embroiled in controversy over donations made by F1 supremo Bernie Eccleston. And so it went on, most notoriously with that dossier on Iraq.
And then over recent months, the coalition have had to fend off controversy over links to News International and other news publishers (not to mention the question as to whether Chris Huhne really did ask his wife to take the rap for his speeding ticket).
Perhaps one of the major challenges our society faces is the widespread lack of trust in our elected representatives.
And it's not just about politicians. The reason that the Rio Ferdinand story was decreed to be 'in the public interest' is that he was appointed England captain in place of John Terry, in the wake of the latter's affair, which was deemed to be inappropriate conduct for someone occupying such a prominent position. Turns out that our Rio wasn't so squeaky clean either ...
Crossing the lines
Submitted by Rob Trickey on Tue, 27/09/2011 - 16:50Finally got round to watching 'The King's speech'. Glad I did - thought it was a good film, well-made and brilliantly acted. Quite apart from all the grown-ups, casting Ramona Marquez (Karen, in Outnumbered) as the young Princess Margaret seemed an inspired choice.
The film has a number of strong story lines. The contrast between the stammering, socially awkward Bertie (Colin Firth) and his older brother and party animal David (Guy Pearce) was striking. David (briefly, Edward VIII) was all suave sophistication. And yet, it was Bertie who courageously battled his speech impediment and stepped up to the throne (becoming George VI) when David chose to abdicate rather than abandon his love for Wallis Simpson.
