Swaran Singh, Professor of Psychiatry, on the best and worst of Britain:
Best - "Every important public matter is subject to wide consultation, All voices, whether weak or powerful, are patiently considered. It is democracy in action. Everyone has a say."
Worst - "On every important matter, everyone insists on having a say. All views, from those based on hard evidence to those driven by ideological purity or single-issue fixation, are considered. It is democracy in paralysis. Everyone feels dissatisfied with the outcome." 😉
So very true, and well articulated.
What nonsense, but very well articulated.
For the punchline to work the first bit needs to be true, but it isn't.
Something I think the BBC is very guilty of.
Their remit to stay neutral means they quite often present the views from some random nutter as equally valid and as worthy of air-time as the eminent spokesperson/expert they are frothing at.
