A Spin on a Couple of Things

Perhaps the affair that is occurring in UK politics should be a lesson learned for all politicians everywhere.

Do they not realise that the public are not fools and that a time has come to stop all the spin and get on with real politics and dealing with the issues that affect the electorate.

It is not all about the politicians - what it is about is the people who elected the politicians. Politicians should be seen to be helping the local individual - their constituents and should not be seeking every publicity seeking opportunity for self promotion and some cases denigrating island we live in or the businesses that provide employment to some in the Island. That shows a lack of concern for constituents.

Incidentally an anecdotal tale I heard recently about redundancies at one of the major banks was that a local person with a house and mortgage had been made redundant whilst the bank retained staff who were effectively imported labour. Whilst the retained staff may be better qualified it doesn't bode well for the local economy if local people are the first to be thrown out and those on a licence retainted. As I say, it is anecdotal and may be misconstrued, but if there is truth in it, then the bank would appear to be retaining those for whom it already has a licence.
