Reassuring legal
How good it is to hear politicians defending themselves over their expenses claims for chandeliers and property empires. 'I broke no rules,' they say. Good point, well made. What's the fuss about?
And then, rather nostalgically,I'm off down memory lane. The last time I witnessed such a stampede for legal exemption was the Nuremburg war crimes trials, and like today's politicians, the defendants there were absolutely right. No rules had been broken, technically speaking - it was all quite legal under the Third Reich.
Phew!
As for me, I can't think of a rule I wouldn't happily break; legal means nothing.
Though I do weep for my attitudes sometimes.
