A to-be-ignored lesson from history

I could hope that Dave the Leader has learnt something from telling the Algerians how to handle their terrorist crisis and practically ordering them to step aside and let the SAS take over – only to be told, “Thanks, Dave, we’ve got it covered.” But seeing that politicians are such arrogant and ignorant beings – Ted Heath, Neil Kinnock, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Nick Clegg, in fact, about 639 of the present crew at Westminster – he’ll just go on being the same old, same old blinkered Dave.
