(and of course, blame it all on Brexit!).


Because you’re fed up with not mattering to the Establishment (from the Westminster Bubble to the Washington Beltway to the Elysée Palace to the Reichstag) don’t fall for the siren calls of the extremists and allow the haters to vilify others in your name.


People have seen, over the past few years, the near- collapse of many of the anchors in their open, democratic societies. From the sexual abuse scandals in Church and Showbiz to the phone-hacking disgrace in newspapers, from the near-destruction of the banking system to the inability of the political class to run a p**s-up in a brewery, from the massive change in the familiar shopping experience to the net increase in the UK population of a number the size of Sunderland each and every year breaking an already overstretched and creaking infrastructure, the ordinary woman and man has had the foundations of their society whittled down to the point of impotence and loss of trust. Such insecurity is only exacerbated when the Establishment Bubble tell them there isn’t a problem!


So how do we deal with the problem? Manning the barricades and falling for the seductive lies of the haters is certainly NOT the answer. But quality, inspirational, non- sectarian and moderately-inclined leadership (in our politics, our businesses, our trade unions, our media, our sport, our public sector) is definitely the answer; political leaders who’ve actually done something with their lives before entering the political maelstrom, people who don’t just focus on the result, but also on how they get there, people who want to take everyone with them (and show they mean it by their actions, not just their fine words)...


...and across the democracies of the Developed World, that seems to be sadly lacking.


Happy New Year! (Which New Year I’m not exactly sure, but let’s hope it’s this one!)
