Debra can I proffer the following thought
In that like Edward the II, who I might add never quite matched his father in acumen, leadership or temperament
'Junior' isn't a patch on his father because he will always be in his father's shadow (the same with George W Bush).
In the pictures and interviews he comes across as smug and conceited indeed his replies to camera on the issue of potential use of CPO's issues were undiplomatic, tactless and naive. As a result he comes across as proud and arrogant and unless that attitude changes that will be his downfall and like Edward the Second he will be sent homeward to think again!
This whole Golf course development could have been handled more diplomatically and less like a ruthless boardroom takeover.
I am happy to address most contributions if they are coherent. But I will not engage with negative sniping from those who do not have the guts to add their names or a consistent on-line identity to their comments. Such postings will be ignored.
Anonymous comments with a constructive contribution to make to the discussion, even if it is critical will continue to be posted. I can't be bothered to publish simple abuse so try to be imaginative.
