@paninid @dianea Further thoughts .. I don't honestly know where to start with the "this bothers me immensely" scenario - that's an understatement obviously. As a boomer, I was brought up to believe that The Establishment, Queen and Country etc was honourable; yes, even MPs - otherwise how would they attain their privileged positions? But as you grow older, and more importantly, mass, near-instant communications arrived, The Establishment couldn't hide behind the facade of respectability, and we culminate in the Epstein Cesspit. I'm sure there are others too... As someone who's grown cynical over the years, you have to realise that my beliefs - nearly everything I was brought up to believe in - have been turned upside down, and there must be many, many others that feel the same. We're not victims in the same way that the real victims are, but the feeling of not knowing who to turn to, who to *trust* is deeply unsettling and bewildering. And just when you think it can't get worse, another turd surfaces 🤬
