I can't see what is wrong with acknowledging that you made mistakes or took bad decisions. I only wish that more of them would do the same. A mass act of penance for the invasion of Iraq, led by Blair in sackcloth and ashes, would go down a treat. Better than Blair's constant, self-serving, "I did wha' I though' was right", don't you think?
Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone knows that everyone makes mistakes, but politicians are always terrified to admit it, because they think we'll never give them another chance to make a better job next time. When it's the reverse: their turn will inevitably come again in due course, and people will be more likely to give them a fair wind then if they give some indication that they know what they did wrong last time.
It's like when hospital doctors and their managements will never admit they made the error that ended up killing some poor sod because they're worried about being sued, when all the relatives want is for someone to fess up, take responsibility and say they're sorry.
Shes never interfered with me. I have no complaints about her.
Same here.
Mega ditto.
I met her once and I found her to be a nice lady. Not kookey in any way.
Penta has always been gracious, kind and very sane in all my interactions with her.
