Max Clifford on Shambo - and drunken politicians
Max says: "If you can involve a cuddly animal you’ve got a much better chance of getting that heard than perhaps some of the more important issues.
“And I think it’s getting more and more so because we are less and less able to trust people in today’s society. We can trust animals, we can’t trust anyone else – we can’t trust politicians, we can’t trust anyone we meet, no one trusts anybody.
“But we do trust animals, so we as a nation get close to them, the less trust there is in society the closer we get to animals.
“They’re not going to hurt you, they’re not going to disappoint you, they’re not going to let you down, they’re going to entertain you, they’re going to make you happy.”
IMO: There are deep reasons for all this, deep down in human nature and embedded in Hinduism. [Someone said: They are 'dumb' so obviously we have to take more care of them, instead of taking advantage of them and killing them. This country seems to derive pleasure from killing.]
Also, it seems that 44% of Welsh people visit the grave of a deceased pet at least once a week. Not a good sign for politicians who favour pet culling.
IMO: I will bet there aren't many who visit the graves of politicians who have died from drinking too much alcohol. An estimate culled from the Guy Fawkes blog suggested that the number of politicans who have recently died from drunkenness at Westminster alone exceeds 20 prominent politicians, all parties. No wonder our laws are such crap.
