Time for a herculean clean-up of operations

It’s that time of year again when we take stock, look forward, plan for the future and hope to do better than we had in the past.

At this stage many of us have already failed to keep to the resolutions we made just a few short days ago. At a personal level any failure on our part to actually stick to our resolutions, generally speaking, just affects us.

Unfortunately, that is not the case at national level. We have just wriggled out of the control of the troika. We have allegedly recovered our sovereignty. There is now going to be no one to blame but ourselves. There is no one’s skirt to hide behind if things do not work out. There may well be no one to bail us out. And even if there is it will come at a very high price.
