I have been fascinated to see the energy and determination
Ed Balls has put into his appearances on Strictly Come Dancing. It seems to me
he is a good advert for the Labour Party, although I believe he lost his seat
in the past general election. I guess if
he was still in parliament we would not have seen this side of him. Generally I am not altogether happy with watching
Strictly. It seems to me much of the
dancing should only be done by married couples in private, as much of it looks
very much like fore play to me, but you must make up your own mind on that.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
