Tragedy in Spain, continued unrest in Thailand, deteriorating relations between the two Koreas, violence in Karachi, strikes in Greece, a wobbling euro and planned strikes of British Airways cabin staff despite record losses for the airline. The morning newspapers don’t make for pleasant reading.
But at least our new coalition government is cracking on. Among other things, they’ve already scrapped the introduction of identity cards along with the next generation of biometric passports, and have suspended the useless Home Improvement Packs prior to them also being scrapped. The freezing of council tax for at least one year is good news.
Inevitably, there are moans and groans about this or that party abandoning or modifying some of its policies. But that is what coalition government is about - finding the common ground and, hopefully, sorting out the country’s economic problems in the process.
If in this process, a lot of other things get sorted out to the nation’s good, then I am all for it.
