It doesn't surprise me that Russia blames this country. I don't think there's another country which drags its feet as much as this one-----in everything ! Why ? It's annoying, frustrating and above all, embarrassing.
When a thing needs to be done---do it now ! 14 years ? Says it all. Which accounts for the mass complacency of our citizens over the years through a lack of leadership who've only had their own interests at heart and not those of its people. It's positively shameful.
My work ethic all through life has been " never put off until tomorrow that which can be done today ".
This country has never been a step ahead or had any forethought whatsoever and because I'm always thinking ahead, personally, I have no understanding of rulers of this country with a huge responsibility who can't see further than the ends of their nose's.
Look at the sheer mess we're in now. Incompetence at its worst.
Delays at the Home Office. Delays at airports. Delays at Dover. What are our ministers doing for God's sake ?
