I don't think that all politicians in the past were necessarily more 'respectable', whatever that is; Kennedy for example was a known philanderer as was Lloyd George to name but two. In case anyone thinks I am getting fixated on sexual morals; I am not, but I am seriously concerned and frightened when I see the bullies who are in charge, people who have lied, been caught, and do not seem to be punished in any way. People who show no shame when they are (rarely) called out for a really whopping lie, people who are proof that the emptiest tin makes the most noise. How can we as parents, grandparents, teachers, or whatever, tell our children that it is unacceptable to throw tantrums to get your own way, that it is cruel to deny people the same chances you have, that it is wrong to belittle or bully people because of their gender, race, religion or beliefs, wrong to tell lies and even worse to keep on denying it louder and louder when you are found out, that it is wrong to refuse to share or to take more than you can possibly ever need just because you can? How do we do that when world leaders, with a few notable exceptions, are liars and bullies? How can any person support a President or a PM who they would not like as a Son in Law? I am truly confused by the deterioration in public behaviour and frightened by just how many people are prepared to accept it as a means to what they see as their ends.
