Late Life Crisis - March 2025
Finally, a promise by a previous Government has come home to roost. 'Stop the Boats'. As I have written often, statements like these are made by politicians when they know that the promise is unachievable but it looks good at the time, and subsequently when the promise fails there is the excuse that progress is being made ('at pace' is often thrown in because that also looks good), but that the failure was beyond the Government's control and anyway no one should have taken the promise literally.
