I have to take exception to this sort of rhetoric as it paints a picture which is seldom the case. So where are businesses like the coal and asbestos mining industries which have caused unimaginable pain in the past and yet to come whilst being held up by corrupt representation at the political level?

But of course there are instances of human kindness which shines out even in a storm. Your account is the exception.......never the rule.
