Over the last few years we have seen that we cannot trust the politicians, the banks, the newspapers, local councils, TV presenters, sports governing bodies and numerous other public figures. Every month or two some new scandal arises to further erode any belief that we might still hold that the people running the country are anything but self-serving scum, liars, thieves or cheats.
So who is there, on a scale larger than our own family or friends, that we can trust? Do any of us trust any large companies? Do we believe that organised large-scale charities can be trusted? Are there any political groups out there that are worth putting our faith in? Is there any sector of the media - print, electronic, radio or TV broadcast - that we think is 100% honest and trustworthy?
Is there any hope for an honest future?
