Changes

I'm old enough or perhaps naive enough to believe that when making a decision about political voting, you should be able to rely absolutely on what the candidate tells you. I've been suspicious for a decade or more, but it's become difficult to ignore the change in political attitudes since Brexit and the election of Donald Trump. With regard to the latter, when Trump was challenged on a statement he'd made which was subsequently found to be incorrect, his response was ''Who cares if I got it wrong?'' He was able to tap to into the fading concept of 'the American Dream' - those Americans who were used to waiting patiently in line and who had found themselves overtaken by ''women, immigrants and public sector workers''.
