The credibility gap.

Society has lost its faith in so many institutions.
Politicians have been falling down in the credibility stakes for a number of years now, largely due I think to the ever narrowing gap between the main parties since Tony Blair corrupted the Labour Party with his centrist New Labour.
The Media along with the News  Papers have joined forces with the politicians in 'manufacturing' opinion rather than reporting it and we loose faith in their impartiality.
The Law has come under more and more scrutiny as Judges are seen to be amenable to political pressure particularly when chairing investigations which involve the high and the mighty.
The Police have been uncovered over the years to have either turned a blind eye on unlawful actions especially when the rich and influential are involved.
The Charities who bombard us with pitiful scenes of suffering repeatedly ask for donations whilst hiding the cost of their own administration and the large salaries paid to senior management, all of which comes out of the donation.
A Hospital System that rations drugs and treatment according to a postcode lottery.
Doctors who hide behind patient anonymity laws to prevent families from learning about their off spring when the family is probably the only safe haven when the child is ill.
Religions who supply a dogma which is far from inclusive.

I could go on and on but the net result is that we have very few places to turn to for honesty !
