Caring capitalism ?

Back to the Highlands after a week of good running. This morning, along the loch side, the returning daylight was very noticeable, and very welcome.
Six months ago, the Queen’s middle son, Andrew, was advised to step down as UK Special Representative for Trade after a public outcry at his whoring after assorted despots in the name of “trade”, whilst lining his own hungry pockets at the same time, all at the tax-payers’ expense. Now he’s back doing the same thing, or rather it seems that he never actually stopped (ref). Prince Andrew could never lay claim to being the sharpest chisel in the Royal toolbox, but this arrogant indifference to public opinion seems less a product of simple stupidity than of the government’s mendacious greed and hypocrisy. No wonder support for Scottish independence is growing by the day.
