The moral of this story is politicians are immoral

The one thing British politicians from Prime Minister David Cameron and Opposition Leader Ed Miliband down have been citing is today’s young people lacking of moral fibre. Here is what David Cameron said during the emergency sitting of the House of Commons (following the London riots): “We will restore a stronger sense of morality and responsibility – in every town, in every street and in every estate.” Morality is an issue that many politicians seem all too ready to draw on when judging others, but the truth is moral disintegration is something that begins in the highest levels of societies. The moral compass is something that is easy to talk about, but can only be portrayed through actions. There are many examples of British politicians failing the morality test with the MP expenses scandal an obvious one. Likewise in Australia, many of our political leaders have shown a lack of moral fibre.
