Damian McBride on the Vanity and Hypocrisy of Politicians
Damian McBride has written that he was “sucked in like a concubine at a Roman orgy” to the “dark”’ world of politics which encourages “vanity, duplicity, greed, hypocrisy and cruelty”.
I'm reminded of a small poem, my first effort, written in November 1961, when I was still a schoolboy:
Hypocritical political
Leaders. Breeders
Of contempt, exempt
From humanity;
Filled with insane
And empty vanity.
Only seeking in reality,
Power, fame and private gain.
****
No real surprises then, in the Daily Mail
