Honourable Men

Today we watched the assassination of Michael Martin The Speaker of the House of Commons, live on the web. It was like watching a train crash in slow motion.

Maybe he is the man in charge? Maybe he has acted against the best interest of the British electorate? Maybe his use of public funds can be questioned but he didn't deserve this public humiliation.

The folk shouting the loudest were the very people accused of misusing the system they created.

Interestingly the Prime Minister left The Chamber before the onslaught began.

'...The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious.
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answered it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest --
For Brutus is an honorable man,
So are they all, all honorable men -- '

W.Shakespeare
