I must confess the events of the past
few weeks from June 23rd onwards has left be breathless, as each day
I return home and put on the international TV channels, I am fed with new
developments, though unlikely the previous day. Surely we can only take so
much, so in some quarters people must be in a serious state of schock.
The poignant scenes of David Cameron and
family saying their final goodbyes at No10 amply illustrated in the superb
pictures in the following link say it all!
Then we have Theresa May the new PM of
the UK starting work immediately with the major appointments left for her first
moments as PM, and the surprise of the resurrection of Boris, who all thought
had disappeared into the wood work to fight another day, many years from now.
Having a new Foreign Secretary in the UK
who is quite categorical about his feelings, which is an extremely un-British
trait, not surprising because of his lineage and international flavor, is
something I will look forward to following.
I trust our diplomats will study the
character, to maximize on how we can benefit from his eccentricity and hand him
a bicycle to get about in Colombo, if only show in true light, the absurdity of
our preening peacocks, who call themselves, Ministers and MPs going about in
convoys making them look quite absurd in contrast.
We have a lot to learn from a smooth and
effortless transition that took place in the UK yesterday. We must first learn
how temporary power can be, and how important it is to plan our lives, so we
don’t let power get into our heads.
All this took place in full view of
cameras, and video and live feed, being broadcast all over the world in real
time, that left viewers stunned and glued to their smart phones and I pads
waiting for the next installment with last evening being the highlight of
events with MILITARY PRECISION, from departure, to appointment, to new Cabinet
members to statements of intent and policy.
