Politicians behaving savagely
THE EDITOR: No country can ever exist without allowing for the full flowering of the human mind. Having just returned from the UK after witnessing the conferences of the Liberal Democrats, the Scottish Nation Party, the Labour Party, and finally the race for leadership in the conservative Party, here was a perfect example of civilised politicians, four of whom are competing for the leadership and none of them, in their speeches, attacked each other, such refreshing behaviour. Having returned to my native country, I have now witnessed the savage behaviour of our politicians, more fitted to a place in Africa. What a shameless betrayal of all the virtues of life. We have exposed ourselves as a small island with small people, small brains, small visions, small ability, but with big mouths, oversized ambitions, big gossips, big on selfishness and self-seeking.
