How many of us watch chat shows and political commentary shows such as Dimbleby? and how many of us have noticed that the on-stage contributors are nearly all politicians, writers or lawyers?
Where are the people who can actually look ahead? instead of those who naturally go with the flow, simply chronicle what has gone or is happening or speculate.
These shows are like newspapers, they thrive on ambiguity, and then offer possible solutions which lead to additional uncertainty, and we continue to watch the shows or buy the papers to follow the stories as they "unfold".
And has anyone noticed that when they go on strike nothing happens?
When will we get people on these shows who can either think or are generally informed aside of the spin and featherbedding of Westminster or the fantasy and sensationalism of the media?
