Although we are unlikely to mourn the passing of the year 2011, with the prophets of doom forecasting a more troublesome 2012 and little prospect of improvement, I still believe that our own immune system can withstand the next economic global turmoil.
That’s, of course, if prudence replaces short-term expediency and our politicians behave more responsibly and not use politics merely to score points against their rivals.
This year’s honours list does not augur well for those who expect a cleaning up of our political system.
In the meantime hypocrisy continues unabated.
