Ministers, you have plenty of time - 24 November 2010 |
|
It is of course possible for a Minister, just like anyone else, to take on a great many tasks and consequently to find himself a very busy man, pressed for time, struggling to squeeze all his responsibilities into days (and nights) that seem ever too short.
However, it is possible that Alexander Whyte has put his finger on another factor that may in some cases be a more significant feature of our ministerial conduct.
I would have all lazy Ministers drummed out of the assembly. I would have laziness held to be the one unpardonable sin in all our Ministers. We have plenty of time for all our work, did we husband our time and hoard it up aright, were we only sufficiently jealous of every man and every thing that comes to steal our time. Oh no – we cannot look seriously in one another’s faces and say it is want of time. It is want of intention. It is want of determination. It is want of method. It is want of conscience. It is want of heart. It is want of anything and everything but time.
