Around and around and around

Is there a pillar of society tat is still standing on firm foundations now? We've had the banking crisis, we've had the MPs expenses scandal and we've had Rupert Murdoch single-handedly destroy the moral authority of the media. Naturally enough, the world moves forward, but when we see the framework of our society being shredded, it becomes time to ask is it time for root and branch reform of the way we live. Who would be brave enough? The sort of things that are tearing us apart these days would once upon a time have been enough to spark riots, even revolution. But these days we are comfortable on our sofas watching our HD Freeview TV. I'm as bad as the rest, but really we do need to change the country we live in before there's one more scandal.

Yesterday I got in to Dante's Sat Nav Inferno. Following the directions it gave me, I got within a few hundred yards of my destination before it told me to do a u-turn and return to the roundabout behind me. Loyally I did so, before it told me to take the road I had just been on. A few hundred yards from my destination it told me to make a u-turn and return to the roundabout behind me.

Some might suggest that this is how the Murdoch family is feeling today. Or perhaps David Cameron.
