A voice of reason.

I was watching STV news last night.  There was a short debate that involved, amongst others, Tom Harris, the head of  the Vote Leave campaign in Scotland.

It was one little sentence that struck me.  Quietly delivered.  But with the power of a large incendiary device.

"Just remember", he said, "that it’s all the same bright sparks that took the economy to the brink of collapse in 2008 who are now saying it would be a disaster to leave the EU".

And he is right.  The media throw around all these experts who predict doom and gloom.  But they were the ones who largely caused the doom and gloom just 8 short years ago.  And the media are taking these guys seriously?

Two thoughts cross my mind.  Why do people have such short memories?.  And why are these people being held up as experts?
