The question is, who can we trust then? Answer, certainly not a newspaper offering you a cool half a million pounds for access to their ex husband! How stupid can a person be?
I had figured Fergie to be a wise and clever person, and certainly not the kind of woman who would fall for such an obvious (well it seems obvious to me) scam. We have seen stories of politicians getting caught on camera bending and breaking moral laws, and the laws of the land as well. Now we see another high profile person being caught on camera, selling her ex-husband's access to an undercover newspaper reporter for £500,000! She's not even married to him, and hasn't been for many years now, but she obviously thinks she can pull strings, as she thinks she owns him.
The whole fabric of our society seems to be getting more and more corrupt, and it is now evident that this moral corruption goes from the highest levels in society and politics, right down to the junkie on the street. We talk glibly about our role models. Who are these people? To go back to the beginning, who can we really trust? All of our nation seems to be stained by some kind of corruption.
We have been failed by the people at the top, so the new role models are the celebrities. The high living, drug taking, loud, foul mouthed, beautiful people who can't stay with the same partner for a year, and who will have an opinion on anything, and charge you for it. What chance do our nation's youth have? I shudder to think what our society will be like in 20-30 years. We are sowing seeds which will be reaped in years to come, and we only have ourselves to blame. It wasn't someone else. We decided to go along with it, and be one of the silent ones, condoning corruption by our silence.
I wonder what price we are prepared to pay before we decide to speak up, and better still do something about it. The answer lies in the hands of our Mums, Dads, Grans and Grandas. It would only take a small change to the family unit, but it would have far reaching effects. I think the family adults should be the new role models, and not our questionable celebrities. Certainly not our politicians and 'Royalty', because they don't know how to behave themselves either.
The aim is to provide a stimulating mix of personal opinions (from a mainstream Christian worldview), and associated comments, which will be accepted and published if they comply with the usual courtesy and decency.
Ah she was drunk, or 'in the gutter' as she said when this all happened. That makes it all right then doesn't it? What a stupid thing to do in the first place, and what a stupid thing to say (and also do) in the second place. Wonder what her daughters think of her?
