Crisis Comand - Could you run the Country

[black dog]

I just wondered if anyone watched this tonight?

I found it to be very interesting. It confirmed that I would not want to be in charge of the Country.

The decisions these people have to make in a crisis and the time they get to make it is astounding. I was surprised however by the time it took the contestants to make the decisions because at the end of the day they knew no-one would get hurt if they made the wrong decision.

The decision not to shoot down the plane and the delay in deciding to shut the tunnel gates were the two occasions where I felt the decision was obvious but they choose the wrong decision after much delay.

It was pretty cheap wall paper TV wasn't it?

In the real world thankfully, our politicians are given more than multiple choice questiosn on which to act, and frankly the "panels" discussions around each decision were (to me) laughable, they couldn't stay on-tyopic any longer than anyone on this forum :lmao:

Having said that, the life or death decisions that people would have to make in those situations are pretty scary aren't they? Maybe I'll give up my desire to be ruler of the universe :D

Don't forget though "Money is Power and Power is Fame"

TV tonight was a load of trash. It was this or I'm a Celebrity and I record that so I can just watch the Bush Tucker Trials without having to put up with the rest of it.

I watched this out of curiosity and it has given me something to think about.
