Ming's Departure

It has to be said that whilst many people of varying political persuasions are saddened to see Sir Menizes Campbell leave the way he has. It is somewhat of an indictment of our society that the pressure for him to quit has been down to age. Some of our best politicians down the ages were at their prime when they were no spring chicken (Sir Winston Churchill was sixty-five when he became Prime Minister in May 1940). Indeed, even in the Bible you get some of it's major figures being past their youth when they followed their calling. Abraham and Moses for example!
In a World where many people are living longer and where therefore we have more OAP's, this was not only a pretty shabby way to treat someone, but also it was an insult to many pensioners in the UK

Absolutely - unfortunately politics (and life in general) now is about personality, charisma and persona rather than the person themselves and what they have to offer.
