The whole thing wouldn't have bothered me as much if she hadn't said it with the apologetic air that she did. For me, that erases the whole "being on the right track thing", because she obviously doesn't feel strongly enough to declare her thoughts without that sense of feeling like she has to apologise to some party or other.
My biggest gripe as per usual is that common sense seems to have disappeared entirely. I am amazed daily with what people can get away with over there. Every decision seems to be made entirely backwards, yet no one cares enough to do anything substantial about it.
You can say what you like about the Americans, but their patriotism has never been taken away from them like the British. People are proud of their nationality, and actively try to maintain the sense of community and good will for the benefit of the local area. The British who actively take a stake in improving their immediate community are in the minority. You can say it's down to this ethinic group or that ethnic group - the fact that the idea of community has broken down, but I will never understand why people stand by and watch it.
My own view is that there is a lack of bonding together with people of similar views. People stand as individuals, complaining behind closed doors. The lack of trust in people goes beyond differences in ethnic groups, it is amongst everyone in general. That to me is why the singular voice stands for so little.
