All-time 'lows' reported today, politics and more
The public view of British politics, as reported in the press this weekend, is at an all-time low:
YouGov : 49% of voters think that "this is the most corrupt parliament in Britain’s history."
So, forget about rotten boroughs and all that, here we are well into the 21st century, days of Empire lorst and gorn, and the greatest democracy of modern times riddled and riven with graft, self-serving swizzling of expenses and so on, to an epic degree. A non-performer to ponder over Easter.
Whilst over at the Centre Court:
The LTA, governing body of UK tennis, rubbished for its performance in fielding worthless David Cup teams (yet again). despite £40m+ lavished on the sport, despite moving to a custom-built centre at Roehampton (its the white elephant in the room syndrome), despite hugely, highly paid staff and 'management': yet, here we are, facing immediate relegation to the bottom, pits, sump of the world tennis competition. Inept, inadequate, waste of money, we may all think. Another non-performer to add to the national angst.
Where do we go from here? Follow ripe political comment here as the upcoming election nears. And go to The Sports Exchange (www.testpunt.ning.com) for political betting propositions, coming up in the next few days.

It's me again: this is a guest contribution from me, KyrixLinx, social media specialist and entrepreneur. Dont blame Dick, he's far too bright to write such twaddle, maybe saving himself for the Great Debate of the Chancellors tonight at 8pm?
