Breaking with tradition, I'm reminiscing. Ten years ago in 1997 I was a very junior employee of a well known provider of accounting and other business services. In fact I was working on the de-mutualisation of a well known building society when Tony Blair beat John Major in the General Election. I remember seeing the results in my hotel room (as I was working away from home) and feeling disappointed, but unsurprised.
Today, a shade over ten years later, I have a fairly senior position in one of the other providers of accounting and other business services. For me times have changed...dramatically if I look at my life and standard of living.
When I watched the news this evening I realised that actually not a lot had changed. Until this morning the same few people had been doing the same top jobs for the last decade...and not necessarily very well. I genuinely don't think Britain is better - education, the health service, confidence in the government.
If anything I've seen a decline.
