As we
watch the Murdochs suffering acute amnesia under questioning, whilst their
employees go to the wall, and Jeremy Hunt cling to his cabinet post, as his special advisor, Adam Smith, resigns, it makes one realise how fortunate we
are to have leaders who are willing to
make such sacrifices. It does however remind
us rather of Harold Macmillan and “the night of the long knives”. Macmillan sacked seven members of his cabinet
in an attempt to save his own skin, provoking, from Jeremy Thorpe, the line………." greater love hath no man
than this, that he should lay down his friends for his life."
