The @TheRestHistory's hosts have a habit of puncturing historical myths with gentle humour. The series on Northern Ireland & the Troubles got some things right, but their wry scepticism did not extend to some well-worn Irish nationalist shibboleths. https://t.co/EFAFOOEYi1
Is it really acceptable for leaders to say โI take responsibilityโ after major failures without facing any actual consequences? At what point does the phrase become meaningless? I remember a time taking responsibility meant something โ usually involving consequences. Am I wrong?
@irishlondoner 100% Politics is a Career Progression not a vocation anymore.
As for Porfumo and Thatcher......I don't recall either "Taking Responsibility" week in and week out without consequences. Regardless of your political leaning.
Before the election, Rachel Reeves said she was going after Michelle Mone and the others who had exploited the Covid crisis and swindled millions.
Since the election, sheโs chosen instead to go after pensioners, the sick and disabled and all those struggling to make ends meet.
