Respect must be earned
So the British Prime Minister’s latest attempt to right the moral dilemma in which we find ourselves is “Respect.” Apparently he believes this is something that can be enforced no doubt to add to the 730 new laws that criminalise the British public in his term of office. The man and his advisors are steaming ahead in their wilful determination to lose all sense of common sense and reality.
Respect is something that one cannot demand and one most certainly cannot expect. It is something that is only ever earned. Poor old George Galloway and his Respect Party will have also learned this lesson from his ridiculous appearance on Celebrity Big Brother. History has shown through great leadership in all walks of life the value trust and loyalty that comes with respect. Sadly we don’t have the role models from our own leadership. Let’s remind ourselves of that extremely important quotation “Children have more need of role models than of critics”.
